I mean at first I'd be polite and not likely correct, but the whole "natural immunity" argument is so asinine that I don't trust myself to let that go, especially if I've had a drink or two.

I just can't argue any more. I could go on and on about the lunacy they believe in.
- Anti-vaccine as mentioned.
- Anti tooth brushing because toothpaste has chemicals. The 9 year old was crying in pain one night because his tooth was in so much pain. I offered her ambesol, but her solution was cloves.... get him to chew on cloves. She also gives them cod liver oil (which is fine, I actually grew up on it), but she says that it heals cavities.
- She tried to convince someone in her family with cancer to stop treatments and try homeopathy.
- At Christmas one year, she made us watch "The Secret" and is still strongly promotes it.
- For a living, she practices Reiki healing. Apparently people pay for it, but I am pretty sure that her folks are subsidizing her.
- She home schools all the kids, which in itself might not be that bad, but with 4 of them, it will be like ground zero for an epidemic of future lunacy I fear.
