I haven't been on this for too long yet. My children know that I'm "experimenting" but the longer it gets, the more they get used to it and it is no longer "experimenting" but a way of living.
Yes we do have meals together. breakfast, lunch, dinner... but I do my own thing and because I am DADDY... I get to influence everybody else... hopefully for better health.
As for socializing with other "normal" diseased people, we usually stuff ourselves before going to parties so we just take tiny bites and have a semblance of socializing.
Since health, healing and longevity are my primary objectives... the socializing part takes a back seat to those objectives.
I was once very sick, see my story at http://www.eczemacure.info
, so I've got the conviction and motivation.
