Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hello Everyone, I am also a lurker. We joined a couple months ago and enjoy all the information everyone has to share. In Jan 2007 (shortly after I got pregnant) we started drinking raw milk and have enjoyed that ever since. We subscribe to Mercola's web site which we really like and use. We have switched our laundry soap, lotions, bar soaps, shampoo's, some cleaning products and some make up to be more natural (thanks to the skin deep website). I read Trudeau's book in 2006 that opened my eyes to many things & that really got the ball started. The book is overwhelming and I think you just need to take one thing at a time and change it for the better. We have our own garden in the summer that is chemical free but we do live near a farm that sprays so I worry about that. We have visited the farmer's market several times this year and made some good contacts and we try to buy organic as much as possible and try to buy only grass fed beef and chickens from a friend of ours. I make my own Kefier on occasion and am trying to get something hooked up to make yogurt. We are members of MidValleyVu and recently found out about Alvin and plan to buy more from him. I have a 16 year old too that is bucking this all the way so trying to get him to change some of his habits is hard but hopefully in the long run he will see the light. Ok, that was good to write down since it feels like we have such a long ways to go but at least we have made some head way. In 2008 both my husband and I are going to ban refined sugar/corn syrup from our diet and continue to make some headway with making meals. I plan to read Dr. Mercola's 2 nutritional books and the PACE book he is always talking about, I hope that kicks us in gear for making even more good changes in our diet. We want to be strong healthy parents (at 42) for our little one (4 months) and to have him grow up on good raw healthy food and not all the poison that is out there now. I hope to find a way to make a difference in the school lunch programs because there food is horrendous! Thanks Will for 'forcing' me to get this message out there and taking so much of your time to keep us going, we apprcieate it!! Have a good New Year! & Nelsen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
