My other half used to eat them - including the shells! I was brought up eating food with raw egg in - but we kept our own hens, so we knew they were healthy, and that the eggs were fresh. Bearing in mind that I don't know you - or your mother - my advice would be to try to replace the egg for her. She thinks it will make the child strong - is there anything else she could give him for the same effect? I know my parents used to swear by revolting stuff like hot bovril ;-(
