Will!
Your Dad is highly respected on these forums. People will listen intently to his opinion. He is also very funny. You should be proud of him! I do believe he has the right approach to good, long lasting health. You are lucky to be learning this stuff at your age, not at 50 like me. The best thing you can do in life is give yourself a "firm foundation". This was passed onto me by my Dad. I used to think he was just talking about my legos or building blocks. Little did I know he was also talking about life (and also health). It took me years to realize that what I did as a youth played a big part in the middle-aged adult I became.
I also have a 16-year old son! It's hard to get him to do this, but when he was ill recently, he was Oil Pulling like crazy. And I truly believe that had something to do with his amazing recovery. Right now he's blowing his eardrums out with heavy metal. I'm going to his room right now before I go deaf myself!
Ah, you kids grow up so fast, and you are smart these days. Good for you, and welcome to the family of natural health.
Love, Molly
