Lean - can you order some relevant books on the subject from amazon.com
and give them to your boyfriend to read? If you have him as an ally, you
can handle your family and friends better. also, find others in in Israel
(that's where you're email address is from anyway)  that share your
interests and have a monthly support meeting with them to discuss
questions and issues. I know of someone who is opening an alternative
health center there, and can find out more from her about those plans.
