nonew3 ::: Favorites I have been eating organic and all-natural food for over a year now. I run into the same problem all the time, in that I get ridiculed by my neighbors from time to time, and my own family won't listen to me. 07-05-31 09:45:18 _____________________________________________________
pavXX ::: Favorites Yes, I don't preach but def. get heckled for trying to eat healthy, and especially avoiding grains (acne-related). Sad how most people are misinformed about eating "healthy". 07-05-31 14:24:14 _____________________________________________________
nanciesweb ::: Favorites I feel the same when my sister told me that she had gotten the flu-shot for her and her son. How did you do it without making a face. 07-05-31 19:17:15 _____________________________________________________
nanciesweb ::: Favorites I would say things like "I did [insert healthy action here] and I found that [insert health benefit here)". A week later, my mother would say that she did [insert same healthy action here] and she too enjoyed the same benefit - as if she discovered it on her own. It's quite difficult not to say "But *I* told you that". While people can argue about "studies", no one can argue personal experience. 07-05-31 19:19:27 _____________________________________________________
Megile ::: Favorites I know exactly this! For some reason, people in my family feel switching from grains to just vegitables is "unhealthy" because of the lower carbs. 07-06-01 07:12:32 _____________________________________________________
cirishluck25 ::: Favorites im a recent graduate form the university of wisconsin in with a degree in psychology. if you would ever feel the need to discuss this it is very common and the reason that most pysch professionals also refuse to give direct help to family members because they rarely take you seriously... 07-06-01 10:44:17 _____________________________________________________

crystallic85 ::: Favorites Thank you, Dr. Mercola. I've had this specific problem for years, and the more benefits I find with my own improved health caused by my new eating habits, I of course want to share it with others, but instead of the positive reactions you would expect from sharing one's own enlightments, you get in responce mostly negative ones with Much sceptisism, which Yes; is understandable considering what people have learned and have been brought up with for all these years, 07-06-01 14:51:10 _____________________________________________________
crystallic85 ::: Favorites but we can see the results now from unnatural habits caused by industrialism. And, like you say, it is up to everyone of course. Everyone is responsible for their own health. But one would REALLY W I S H that people would be more interested in general about their health, and interested in the new knowledge about "the foods" we have today! 07-06-01 14:52:20 _____________________________________________________
crystallic85 ::: Favorites I also saw a clip where you spoke about the dangers of using a regular cell phone without any protection, THAT was just great. I was so pleased after having watched it, as I have "known" this for so long. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Dr. Mercola! You are a good man. God bless. 07-06-01 14:53:15 _____________________________________________________

Somehow they've gotten it into their heads that I'm some kind of no account lazy slugabed good for nothing bum who hasn't accompli...uh... nevermind. 07-06-01 17:57:11 _____________________________________________________
