I live in a SUPER traditional spanish home. Anything that doesn't involve meat or lard is considered un-natural. hahaha

It's just projection. She obviously has issues of her own regarding food and she's tearing your diet down to make her feel better about her own. Try not to argue with or judge people who display such hosility. At most shrug and say, "Well, I thougth I'd give it a try and it seems to be working for me". And then say a prayer, knowing it's hard to live one's life when acting out of anger and fear.

Aw, thanks. I'm trying really hard to gain a mature perspective about life. Some days it comes easier than others!

My mother and sister threatened to have me committed, seriously... committed, when I told them six months after I started natural and herbal medicines for cancer (this was before I learned about vegan or raw)... the cancer was already almost gone after 6 months of balancing my body's pH, and they still didn't want to hear about how I did it without chemo or radiation. They also told me what a bad mother I was because I must not have cared about being a mother to my son if I wasn't taking such a "life-threatening disease" seriously. Yup. My own family. I was even going to the doctor once/month for check-ups with no insurance, and working 2 jobs to pay for it all. (Could've saved myself a lot of money with raw vegan... haha... live and learn. That was just my path.)

I've been cancer free now for two years without any sign (no scar tissue or anything) that I ever had it. And I still have all my girly parts :-) They say I was just lucky. And they believe that I was just lucky. The truly shocking part, for me, is that my mom is the one who started me, and taught me from a young age, about natural cures. Now she's obsessed with illness and disease and the attention that comes with it.

Just a couple of days ago, my sister called me up to tell me that her son was "diagnosed" with ADD. When I brought up natural ways to deal with this, and even shared with her the experience of one of my friends who was in her shoes, she flipped out on me, called me "psyco" about 4 or 5 times and then hung up on me.

Even the facts aren't enough proof for some people, and you simply cannot waste your energy on trying to convince someone of something they don't want to believe. I have learned to simply smile, like I do with small children who act out, when someone gets their panties in a uproar over how I live my life.

I try not to waste my time on such people. She clearly had some issues. Some people should just respect others views for goodness sakes. sheesh candy thats some friend you got there... wow congratulations candy thats great cancer free! my mother has been cancer free for 10 years now although she took the traditional route. Perhaps she would have tried natural medicine if she was aware of it at time.
