Re: It's worse the other way around.

This issue causes me a lot of problems. Almost everyone close to me, and in turn everyone close to them, are sick, and brainwashed. I must admit, there are people I just shut up with because they get defensive if I try to point out what it is that might be contributing to thir health issues and things they could try as an alternative to pharmaceuticals and a poison diet.... and then there are the ones that I persevere with because once in a while they'll try something I suggest and it will work, which will open their mind just a little, and then a little more.
Gradually I've noticed some of those closest to me changing and realising that maybe all is not what it seems and there is another way.
People come to me and ask me to recommend natural or dietary solutions to their ailments now - but I still get a lot of funny looks and head shaking.
The worst part of it for me is that my son is around a lot of people who eat badly and who believe fully in all the allopathic propaganda, and his diet can be horrendous. He does listen when I tell him what's harmful and what he should be eating instead and why - but he's a kid, and the sweets and sodas and cheeseburgers are just too appealing. I don't feed him that kind of stuff but he gets it elsewhere, and it's very frustrating. All I can do is to keep hammering it home, even if I have to do that in the face of serious opposition...

"But you can't stop the child from drinking milk - what about his bones???"
(He has a cows milk sensitivity which resulted in asthma, sinus trouble and mood disturbances since he was a baby)

"But you have to let him have Coke/sweets/other poison crap - it never did you any harm growing up"
(Hello?!!)

Sometimes I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle, and most of the time I'm very frightened for the people in my life who still buy into the idea that diet has nothing to do with health and disease is just something that 'happens', and can only be dealt with by treating it with harmful drugs. I can't sit back and say nothing though. I don't force my opinions on people or shove them down their throats, but I gently keep trying, despite the resistance, and the heads getting pushed further into the sand, and the exchanged looks between people who think I'VE been brainwashed. The way I see it, I can't just turn a blind eye - even if they ignore me or tell me to mind my own business, at least I tried. Tweet
