So sad that the people you care most about seem least likely to listen.  For
children, I highly recommend the pictures in Weston A. Price's book.  We
discuss what happened to the people in the pictures and why.  I think this
has had the most impact, with my own example having perhaps a quarter of the
impact of this book.

My father has a 78 year old friend with diabetes.  We've shared Jerry
Stegenga's writings with him, as his age and experience seem closest to his
own.  His wife is a nurse, and has pressured him to stay on the traditional
medical treatments, with no regard for diet.  He's now losing sight in one
eye.  Too bad we're not strangers, we'd have more credibility.
