Guest guest Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 FWIW - my husband wasn't terribly helpful, and seemed to go through bouts of complete amnesia when we first started biomed with my son - somewhat by accident. He was the first to notice the improvements, since our son tended to embarrass his dad in public with his odd behavior. But, as time wore on, dh forgot the progress and even questioned whether all those pills were necessary, and did so in front of son, 17yo who doesn't need any help not wanting to take his pills. I just about beaned dh!!!! Boy, was I mad. I actually think there is a post about it here. :-) Lovely group, thanks!! Anyway, you aren't alone. Dad is being more helpful these days too. I've filled him in on more, and actually started some interventions on him that I've learned on this list. He is feeling VERY good, almost too good. I threaten occasionally to take his (my husband's) pills away if he doesn't behave. Who knew that helping him feel better would grant me more cooperation with our son's interventions. It is nice though. My husband was on the phone with me the other night and saw my son's pill containers and reprimanded him for not taking them like he should (daily pill boxes, so it tells on my son when he misses supplements). Just another one of those hurdles we've obviously made it over here - wanted to share. Hopefully it will encourage you not to take out the cast iron frying pan yet. Anti-virals might be more productive. ;-) P.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 I feel the same the way - it's like one huger grrrr moment. Except - and here's the dosie - I'm the step mom in charge of my step son. I've changed his f=diet, started biomed, researched all sorts of therapies only to met with the hostile stares of his mother and from time to time my own dear sweetr husband. At times - like now - I'd love to line them both up and give them a good wack or even better ywet I'd love for thenm both to be around (especially his mother) when he's haveing a yeast die off becasuse of a dietary infraction (usually mom) or failure to administer the supps (dad) and he wonders why I wont take a break > > It makes for a real nice resentful relationship. > > > > So by no means is this going to be easy...try to get his help on the > > weekends or with whatever you can.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 - So sorry about the typos. Like I said I am exhausted and I have a wonderful little helper who loves to help me type. What I meant to say was that I changed his diet (no " F " in volved - that was my daughter - I thought I caught all of her additions ) I'm sorry.
