Natural living

[Guest guest]

Hey all,

I am writing because I know I dance to the beat of a different drum,

especially here in KY. I am starting to get a little depressed about it,

and it is definitely taking a toll on my (we'll call him husband, however we

are not married; we are living together) relationship with my husband. I

have been vegetarian for years and then I started eating fish. In the

meantime, I have had a baby who I decided to quit vaccinating after his four

month shots, raise him vegetarian, start seeing homeopaths, chiropractors,

naturopaths, etc. We have really started watching what we eat even more.

One of the doctor's we see recommends the blood type diet; we are blood type

O. I went to see Dr. Mercola last October and he recommends the Metabolic

Typing Diet. We are following a combination of the two. We really have cut

down on breads, unless we are dining out. At home, we only have ezekiel

bread. I also let him have cereal in the morning, a wheat free cereal. I

need some more breakfast ideas if anyone has some.

According to Mercola, he recommends no grains which eliminates oats,

quinoa, kamut, millet, etc. We are finding this kind of difficult.

Not to mention, my husband thinks I am going overboard. This is

disappointing to me becasue I want us to be on similar pages about this and

we are not. He is also overweight, never exercises, eats crap, and smokes.

It really drives me bonkers.

Are these reasons to consider making our household a two family home? It is

really driving us apart.

I also want to homeschool and we watch very little tv, and none while our

son is awake.

I realize this isn't related to herbal remedies, but my natural lifestyle is

really taking a toll on our relationship and the relationship I have with

his family.

 

Any advice?

How does one raise a son with parents who are so different into a healthy

human being?

 

Investigate before you vaccinate!!
