[@WildeGray26]

Most genetically blessed family on KZbin. Not to mention lovely people xx

[@manuelramos5068]

Thank you for taking time to express such kind words. May you receive the love you're giving.

[@deelee4674]

I want to thank you Alba && Manny. You guys saved not only my daughters life but my life as well. Ever since my daughter was a few months old she has been suffering with digestive issues as well as developmental issues and my husband and I couldn't figure out why. We've seen sooo many doctors and therapists that couldn't provide an answer for us. From the moment I seen the first video with you guys speaking on a healthier lifestyle, I completely changed everything from what we eat to our daily activities and we have experienced much success! My daughter is finally smiling and not crying and I couldn't thank you enough for changing our life. Sorry for the grammatical errors...I'm trying to type with tears in my eyes! Thank you for being such an inspiration to me and my family! May God continue to bless you guys abundantly!!

[@manuelramos5068]

I am stuck speechless.... It's you who made the choice to go against the grain. We were just passing along a message we received and you decided to take it to the next level. Thank you! Your journey and outcome is so inspirational and we will use it as a reminder to get through hard times. Thank you so much

[@heenap88]

What a good dedicated man you have..some men couldn't care less..love to your beautiful family from New Zealand

[@manuelramos5068]

My strong kind hearted wife and my beautiful son deserve all the credit for me to be able to consider myself a man today. Thank you so much for your kind words

[@only1nany]

Manuel Ramos you guys are amazing! great couple and family 😊

[@samiraismail4176]

My heart melts when you guys talk about your son, can you guys look after me as well LOL

[@samiraismail4176]

don't worry about me a fully grown adult, well 19

[@chicaincharge3568]

Alba, can you talk about being from a Latina background and dealing with family questioning your choices? I have been vegetarian for more than two years and my Puerto Rican family scolds me for "rejecting my culture." And when I tell them why they say I'm brain washed. Can you talk about how to deal with these cultural issues?

[@jltdqw]

Yes, I agree with you that Alba should give some advice about being Latina and changing the way we eat. My sister gets angry with me because we eat a lot organic food, I took away dairy, red meet and gluten from are diet

[@rollodolo]

My Cuban family disapproves of my vegan diet as well. Just have to follow your path - Not everyone's truth is your truth.

[@zomyari170]

I am Puerto Rican too, and you know how are Puerto Ricans eat 'carne carne and carne ' but i think you need to tell them more about being a vegetarian and how it helps you in a healthy way. Plus its your body 👍

[@chicaincharge3568]

Zom yari ***** its sooo frustrating! Every family event is like a struggle for me. The questions of: "Quuee?? Tu no comes carrnneee???" -_____-

[@NaomiSeifullah]

I'm also Puerto Rican and I can relate lol. Not only do I not eat pork but I'm Muslim and Ive experience the cultural rejection. Unfortunately its some of our people that have been brainwashed and are in denial. Knowledge is empowering but its also something not everyone will understand :)

[@ZLSdrums]

I think what we need to ask ourselves is not why organic produce is so expensive but why is non organic produce so cheap? I think you guys are great :)

[@ZLSdrums]

lol! I wrote this before watching all the video!

[@jltdqw]

You are completely right about why organic is expensive and the GMO is cheap. In the long rung you/me/any body don't get good benefits from the cheap foods

[@1DreaJ]

Yes, that was awesome food for thought!

[@nanayaa-ansah]

Gmo/ cheap foods are subsidized by the government. Go figure

[@nikkitak8360]

You two are really inspirational. A lot of marriages crumble when a child needs more attention, or life didn't turn out exactly how they thought, or what is "the norm". Your marriage, bond, and family has seemed to grow more through this process. Strong beautiful family and couple. Love you guys xoxo

[@justcandyandbeauty]

Yes I agree ! My husband and I eat 90 percent organic foods ! When people say that's expensive we say .. "Better to pay more in grocery bills than doctors bills !!! 👍"

[@manuelramos5068]

You just made me wanna eat an organic banana with that comment!

[@vianneygonzalez4064]

Omgosh Alba, your son is so handsome! His hair is beautiful!

[@manuelramos5068]

Thanks! He gets his looks and hair from me ;-) (kidding)

[@GotMyBenz]

You two are amazing parents! I love what you said at the end about respecting your child and connecting and building understanding. I think that's so important! Although I don't have a child with autism, I parent my children this way as well, and I think most parents should! Rather than wanting your child to conform to whatever is "appropriate"...when you build trust and respect and understanding you're able to have a truly pure relationship with your child & that helps them learn how to interact with the world around them. I admire the changes you've made to your lives in order to keep all of you healthy, and I wish you all a lifetime of happiness! Your little man is so lucky to have parents who take the time to help him be his best self!

[@manuelramos5068]

Thank you! What you just said is what I want to express to so many. The way we are with our son is how we should be whether he's dealing with something or not. We feel any child can benefit from any of these approaches no matter the case. It's beautiful to hear this is what you have chosen to do as a parent.

[@anikadiamond007]

It's so good to see a kid with "old school" toys and tools to inspire creativity and mind enhancement. You have not just stuck an iPad in his face to keep him entertained. Good job!

[@LYP7]

The time for the video is 29:11 and when I saw that Jeremiah 29:11 came to mind, and the scripture says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." I believe that is what GOD is doing for y'all! You both are incredible parents and I believe God is working with both of you in finding the best for your son Manny! God sees everything that y'all go through, sacrifices y'all have had to make and all that you are doing to give him a better life, and he will bless you for that! God bless you and your family!

[@Chelssology]

You guys are beautiful. And not your guys obvious physical beauty, but your guys compassion, wisdom and humbleness. Your love for both each other and your son is so genuine and refreshing. Thank you for the positivity and grace you guys exude. I wish great health and happiness for both of you. Literally goals!!

[@Ceyycil]

Hope you realize how inspiring you are. You are inspiring health, love and balance so easily, so naturally. Some people in this world are gowing up with you, following you or just visiting your KZbin channel. That's awesome, actually you and your beautiful family also are awesome. Keep doing it, you are awesome. xOxO

[@dominikakras-tp8xv]

that's true 💗

[@quixote1814]

I just needed to comment and say, keep doing these videos. You're open and very informative. I don't even have kids but want them in the future. I just find it very interesting to know the methods you used to find what suits your son best. Your lifestyle is very refreshing and positive. There's only 'goodness' or 'positivity' that can be taken by your videos, if people take anything at all. Take care.

[@Kimlauren313]

This might be long lol but you guys are really inspiring! I been trying to change my life keeping everything organic and being more aware of what I'm eating because of health issues. I love ur videos you guys are so genuine and down to earth. from the beginning i remember sending ur videos to my cousin who has curly hair she also fell in love with u, I love that you embrace your curls they are gorgeous. The whole eating organic being expensive is true but I rather invest in it and feel good about myself and feel healthy. Fast food really makes me feel like blah and depressed. I ended up losing a lot of weight and honestly feeling more happy &more positive less depressed (mashallah) the vlog you posted awhile ago is what inspired me I threw out all my things with harmful chemicals etc got me some apple cider vinegar lol I always wanted to but you guys gave me that extra push sense I don't really know anybody like you guys & a lot of ppl think I'm being over dramatic I ended up losing a lot of weight ppl said I look "sick" and put me down but then realize after awhile they were same ppl to come back around asking what have I been doing . but anyways keep doing what you guys are doing you guys are great parents I really wanna do the same for my future children.

[@manuelramos5068]

Thank you so much! I just want to say for the record I taught Alba everything she knows about curly hair (kidding). I feel like we are all here to inspire eachother. Let's keep pushing!

[@Kershelle_Deterville]

I don't normally comment on videos but I do pray that your son will get better and remember that the Heavenly Father can heal everything; so please do not hesitate to go to Him. May the Father truly work in your situation.

[@VastiaPascale]

I love this your family is so cute! Seeing this warms my heart. I miss you guys. But I see the West Coast is treating you guys good. 💋

[@manuelramos5068]

Vastia! Imagine, if we were able to talk for a hour on a random corner in brooklyn on a cold day, how many hours would pass on a corner in LA... Next time I'll have some foldable chairs ready. Hearing your experience that day was so inspirational. Thank you so much.

[@VastiaPascale]

Lol funny thing is Kalea said she's been looking at homes in California and I had to ask her if she planned on running away cause of all this cold weather. 😂😂 but man oh man the talks we could have. You guys are so authentic and family oriented I admire that about you guys so much. Next time we will have the unfolded chairs and sit and talk. So much good energy spews from the both of you and even little manny

[@paytonmechelle2882]

You guys have really helped my family I have two brothers who are autistic and I have problems with my immune system and your lifestyle videos have given us a lot of hope and we are getting much better everyday you have seriously changed our lives with all of the information your giving continue to do what your doing and God bless you

[@manuelramos5068]

Wow, just when I read one comment in awe another follows right after. Thank you! You have changed your lives, it could've been anyone passing the same message you decided to agree and do something. Thank you!

[@fatimanofal3676]

Omg!!! That little cutie is soo lucky to have such great parents as you!! you guys are doing an amazing job, I am so amazed by you!! I have a cousin who has autism, he is only 2 years old! He lives in Morocco "north africa" and sadly people there have no understanding or whatsoever about autism!! I try so hard to search and learn about autism as much I can to share with them so that they also could understand their son more and get to care for him better!! My aunt is so depressed and just does not know what is wrong with her son, he does not talk nor look at her in her face nor she love!! And she doesn't know what to do!! I went last year to visit and she had him in a room facing a window all day long! They don't talk to him nor play with him because they don't know how to do it!! So I try to share anything that I can find with her and they both are doing so much better even with the little information I share with them.Thank you so much for this video, and please keep sharing with us!! You are helping so many parents understand autism!! Including me, my aunt and her son. You are an inspiration and I can't wait to share your experience and advices with my aunt!!

[@loukat126]

i love how you guys are each other, you guys aren't just two people, you guys are one and thats beautiful!

[@tayelorturner9205]

I absolutely love what you guys are doing and the way you chose to help your son and yourselves. I've been trying to change the way I eat and the things I use in my everyday life and you guys are a huge inspiration. I was born with many allergies that soon led to asthma and as I got older the lost of allergies have increased. I just recently realized how closely related this was to the food I was eating. But because I am a college student the transition hasnt been the easiest, college tuition is CRAZY high, but im gradually make the changes I need to be a healthier me. Im not on your level yet but I do hope to be there soon. Thank you guys for letting for allowing yourselves to be vulnerable and showing this part of your lives its really opening doors for alot of people.

[@manuelramos5068]

I haven't experience what you're going throught but can only imagine. I don't think there are different levels just different paths going in the same direction. thanks for the positivity !

[@debramitchell]

I BEG you two to start a eco-conscious/holistic living consulting business, complete with meal planning, products and and other services. You could impact SO MANY lives (on a one-to-one and personalized basis).

[@makeupfiendxo]

Literally the most beautiful family inside & out! So inspirational ❤️

[@lameezkhumalo86]

I don't usually "idolize" couples but this couple... actually this family seems beautiful inside and out.

[@Amrietaa]

lil' manny is so blessed to have y'all as his parents

[@yalonmishael]

Can you make a video on tips on how to transition into a organic eating lifestyle. I'm having a hard time staying away from fried foods and junk

[@Mrs.AlbaRamos]

Small changes at a time can lead to a great start for significant changes. Incase you haven't seen our Eating healthy basics video we speak on this there. You don't have to change it all at once little by little improvements in your shopping and your interest will change. There are important things you can change first to prevent harmful ingredients like the ones in the video I mentioned above.

[@yalonmishael]

Thank you!

[@nathaliefischerx3]

I absolutely loveee the vlogs, so helpful and informative. Showed my friend the previous one and it has been helping her a lot since she's a first time mom, so thank you. God bless, hope to see you soon when you come to NYC :D

[@Sarah7MUA]

you guys are truly amazing! It's really admirable how mature and level headed you are. The sacrifices you make, the way you choose to see things positively and continue to move on and doing it as a team! I wish you the best of everything life can offer and hope that you see your amazing little man grow up healthy and happy and live life to his full potential.

[@aryannarose8158]

It really makes me want to cry when I see the love you both express to your son and his needs. My older brother has ADD and ADHD and he just wasn't expressed the support and love for his illness and it shows later on in his life (he is now 24). He now has a son and the way he acts toward his son is how you both act towards yours and it seriously just warms my heart how great of people you are. I hope I can grow my channel and be able to share my stories and love just as you and your amazing husband do!

[@ChrisBHoni]

I think you and your husband's lifestyle is amazing. I've always been a relatively healthy eater (no fried foods, no sodas/only 100% fruit juice, etc), but lately I've started taking it "to the next level" with juicing. I'm still a college student and I live with my parents, so sometimes I don't have a choice but to eat certain things, but when I move out on my own, I definitely want to eat like you guys do. Like you guys said, it is more expensive, but hospital bills and diabetes medication costs more right? Anywho, thank you for sharing your life with us & im sending positive thoughts your way. God bless

[@khalilkoleva]

Your son is adorable!!!! Beautiful family. God bless.

[@yahmie001]

Little Manny is so cute and I love his hair. God Bless you as parents and changing your lifestyle for the betterment of your child that is freakin awesome. You guys should look into getting a Kangen water machine if you haven't already. They are really expensive but that water has helped me be able to function normally with my uterine fibroids. I eat mostly organic too and moved from New York to Florida 3.5 years ago because of the same thing you all mentioned, the Vitamin D. Keep up the good work and it's reassuring to see like minded people like yourselves.

[@manuelramos5068]

Thank you for sharing such postivity and wisdom. Vit D is enough of a reason to move anywhere. We received an email after posting the last video mentioning Kangen water and briefly looked into it but decided to go with a Live pristine hydro filter. Will definitely keep it in mind and let you know how out filter turns out as well. Thank you again and please don't be a stranger. We can use any information like minded ppl can share

[@yahmie001]

Your welcome and thanks for responding and I won't be a stranger. I'm an open book and love to share information with others that's the beauty of social media, we can help each other by sharing our experiences and exchanging information!

[@iresine31]

As a professional musician, I highly recommend that you expose Manny to music, through group lessons or preferably private instrumental music lessons. Some of the most brilliant musicians of all time have been on the autism spectrum and it can be an amazing outlet for his creativity and for his sensory awareness. Not only is music a wonderful activity for the brain, it is an emotional outlet that can help people regardless of ability or even disability. I love your channel and I'm so glad you're sharing this journey. Also, props for not having a sitter. My parents had a sitter for me less than five times throughout my childhood and I think it made a hugely positive impact on my life!

[@wrkin90044]

your husband kinda looks like obama

[@Juliyakay]

Lol you're right

[@makkahkhadija2604]

Lol he does

[@CreoleKing1986]

i was thinking the same exact thing, and figured someone must've written this already

[@mysterious2007damn]

OMG I thought the same thing

[@Limzoya]

The cutest most handsome obama ever haha

[@jennyrios3916]

I have a five year old and i admire what you guys are doing and the time and effort you put into your child. May God bless your family you guys are an inspiration.

[@MalaikaMalz]

Awwwww little Manny is toooooooo beautz! He looks like you alba! X

[@malarican]

Love to you all from a teacher and autism mom. There is so much research documenting how too much "screen time" at an early age can be detrimental to young children. I love that you have noticed the difference in limiting screen time. Steve Jobs famously didn't let his children use technology. Walking outside with your son and keeping him active, engaged with others, and involved in social skills will continue to help him. For a lot of families with autism, staying "hidden" is easier because you don't have to deal with stares and extra work (my 15 year old doesn't talk). But that becomes counterproductive because autistic children withdraw more if they don't get social opportunities. Keep up the great work, and it is work, but your son deserves it! And I know my partner and I support each other because it can get stressful. May you continue to find strength in each other.

[@annaobrajero68]

Manny and alba i love your vlogs because their REAL!! 😊 Alba do u speak spanish idk im just wondering?

[@amandajoyr1]

I totally respect your way of eating, everyone needs to learn that "you are what you eat". So much of my health problems was contributed to my previous junk food diet. When I changed my diet my health improved so drastically.

[@BronzetteStyles]

I love you and mannys out look on life you guys are such pure good hearted people and just so inspirational it really touches my heart how you guys started this life style because of your son and you guys are just opening so many peoples eyes on this lifestyle and sharing your story and motivating people of how it's benefiting you and changing your lives love you guys. Bless 😘

[@manuelramos5068]

It's people like you that inspire us with your postivity. Let's continue to inspire each other

[@amandarozon5663]

Hello! I'm 22, not a mother, still in college living in Long Island NY, and I still have found this video so helpful! I had a rough day, nothing crazy, but I was feeling really down. I started to watch this video and felt so overwhelmed with emotion and I felt so encouraged and motivated through your own words and efforts with little Manny (p.s he's a cutie!) I've started reading Earthing, and I'm loving it. Thank you for being so positive and true in a world that can sometimes leave one feeling discouraged and hopeless! You two rock....oh and I'm a fellow Dominicana ;)

[@cmycamellroze8218]

P.S. If you haven't started one, begin to keep a journal about your journey regarding your growth n learning experience. It could lead to a great book for parents n caretakers travelling the same path. A book from a father's perspective would be wonderful.

[@Staruwishupon]

Please continue making these kinds of videos. They are so helpful. Because of you guys i want to change my whole life around. I want to become a healthier person. I am 24-years-old and I don't have any kids yet, but before i do i want to be at the point where you guys are today. All 3 of you bring such an encouragement to my life and i thank you so much for that. I now am so alert about the things that i eat and stuff like that. You see, because of all the fast food that i used to eat i ended up gaining so much weight and because of that i now have some unhealthy stuff going on in my body as well. Even the food that i buy is not good for me at all. They have soooo much chemicals. But watching your videos and hearing your story and how healthy you guys are being for your son Manny and yourselves and how much it has improve your lives is such an amazing thing to know. I am constantly surrounded with all of these advertisements, places, and things that don't care about our health just our money. But you guys don't know what a change you have made in my life. Thank you again so much for sharing your story. May God keep blessing you guys each and everyday and may he keep guiding you in the right path, in Jesus Christ, Amen. :)

[@ikranabib3337]

hey alba keep doing what your doing x YOUR AMAZING XX love from England xxxx

[@bethanyoliviahernandez]

I would just like to say thank you to Alba and Manny for speaking out on the things that they feel so strongly about knowing that there's always a chance for negative feedback. I wish you both the very best for you and your son. You'll definitely be in my prayers. I'm Puerto Rican and about 5 years ago I slowly started adjusting my eating habits along with my family. About two to three years ago I participated in the Daniel Fast for religious purposes. I am a Christian. It was 41 days long. During that time I never got a cold, I had an abundance of energy, my skin cleared up, and my sensitive stomach was no longer a problem. Not only did I see the fruits of it spiritually, but physically as well. The original fast is normally 21 days, but I decided to double it. During this time I was going through a lot and I cannot begin to explain how much eating right helped my body and my spiritual walk. After the fast ended I very slowly tried to incorporate other foods back into my diet, but my body would get so confused. I no longer craved processed sugars the way that I used to, and as much as I love chicken my body wasn't really asking for it anymore. So I had to listen to how my body was responding and continued to eat the way that I had been eating for those 41 days. My family and friends thought that I was trying to lose weight and would constantly question me. At family gatherings I was always in the spot light as everyone was eating arroz con gandules, pernil, and drinking cups upon cups of pepsi and cola champagne (yes, I still miss that cola champagne). Eventually I started incorporating regular food back into my diet because I was young and felt guilty that my food was financially a lot to handle for my parents although they always supported me. Within no time at all I developed acid reflux also led on by stress. I wanted to stay away from medicine, but there was so much going on in my life. My parents were getting divorced, and eventually I ended up in the emergency room with severe abdominal pain. Ironically, they handed me a paper listing what to eat and what not to eat which was very similar to the Daniel Fast with certain exceptions. I'll never forget the piercing pain that would radiate throughout my stomach up to my sternum and esophagus, or the taste of the clear "liquid" that they made me drink. Or the cocktail of three "medicines" that they prescribed me. 4 days after taking the medicines exactly as directed by my GI my body went into shock and could not handle what it was receiving. I was in my bed and my blood pressure had dropped to approximately 80/60, I had a fever of 103, I had cold sweats, and was hallucinating. My mom told me so was almost certain that I was going to flat line that night as she checked my BP on our machine that we had at home. I could barely keep down vegetable broth let alone chicken broth. It may sound like an exaggeration, but I truly thought that was going to be my last day on earth. I was only 17 years old. Immediately I stopped taking the medicine. My mom called my doctor, not even an apology on their behalf. Just a follow up appointment and an over the counter prescription which wasn't "as strong". All of this was during pre-season for lacrosse. I almost couldn't play. Since then I've figured out which foods I can handle, how often, and in what amounts. I still suffer from acid reflux, but not nearly as much. The only thing I know for sure being 20 now is that my life and my health are far more important than what anyone else could possibly say about me, be it family, friends or strangers. I've experienced eating "normally" and it's nothing to be proud of. Feeling tired, sluggish, worn out, never having enough energy, always breaking out, feeling bloated. For me it had nothing to do with weight. I simply wanted to LIVE. I wanted to live without having a stomach ache 24/7, or a headache, or anything like that. I'm slowly returning to a clean eating life style and it's one of the most comforting feelings. It hasn't been long, but I'm already feeling the positive changes. I know that financially it's going to be difficult especially being a college student, but it's something that I need to do. Knowing what lies ahead and the energy that I'm going to have will be completely worth it. I'm so grateful that God gave me a second chance at life. Even if it cost more money or more time, I will not mess up this time. Life is too precious. If you're considering eating healthy and somehow just read this long essay lol, please trust me when I tell you it's worth it. Your health is not a game. Take care of your body. It's the only one you've got...

[@tarynmoore8805]

You guys are so amazing! Praying the Lord continues to work in you and through you! This is so inspiring and impacting!

[@missgood5648]

I can't tell you how refreshing it is to see a beautiful young loving couple putting their family values first! It's so inspiring to see the entire family living a wonderful holistic lifestyle. We need more positive family images like your family!!!

[@RocsGirl]

wow wow wow thanks so much for every bit of info. i am, as a mother of 4, very very proud of both of you. You two are another gateway for educating parents about the quality of parenting for your child and not everyone else. God bless you all. I have more to say but I need to go to the grocery store and take care of mind LOL Love from Italy!

[@manuelramos5068]

4 kids! I want 4 kids! Lol Thank you!

[@silemochoa]

I can't express how much you guys have helped me… Alba, you are so inspiring and you have helped me completely change my mind about my hair. I never liked my curly hair until I started watching your videos and you gave me a greater and fuller understanding on how to take care of it. I was also born in DR and coming from a Dominican family, my mother has always permed her hair and she's never known how to deal with my hair. Because of you, my hair is as healthy as it will ever be. I decided to get rid of our WiFi and now that you guys have started your About That Life series, I've been reflecting on how much my family has been affected by the Internet. We are now spending more family time together and I can't thank you guys enough for your advice.

[@MariselaAvina]

Your family is beautiful

[@Yaab1]

You can tell she is supporting wife, even tough the husband went offline a little bit but she acknowledged by nodding her head so to show appreciation of his mind. Welldone ! best family ever.

[@KimorasMommy]

Wow everybody is in Cali now, shamelessmaya, itsmyrayeraye, and andreachoice, all of you guys should do a video together...

[@nikiconway79]

I'm so happy that I found your family. Our son is on the autism spectrum diagnosed with Aspergers. It's a constant challenge for him but we have done the behavioral modification and therapy sessions. Also great contact with the school and support from the teachers and staff. He has overcome so much and is our little hero. The positive helps so much. I will enjoy watching your family and learning along with you guys.

[@majasusic6658]

I was so excited when I saw your new video, you"re wonderful people and you 2 done some great progress with that little boy.. No one is born perfect, life is progres and hard work but when you have kids that life and progres is some time hard and takes forever, but I see your love, and love that you have 4 one fore another, children teach us how to be strong, I wish you all the best and keep the good yob, Me and my family are sending you a bunch positive energy and love

[@manuelramos5068]

Thank you so much! It takes someone to be very aware to notice such things. Positive energy and love to you. We love your picture as well!

[@theMVAC19]

Hi guys! I study child development and interact with a lot of children and parents frequently, and I have to say that I really commend you guys' effort in raising your child in the best way possible. It's also incredible that you are constantly seeking alternative methods for your son's Autism instead of feeling defeated by it. You seem like really wonderful parents and I wish you the absolute best! Little Manny is in great hands!!

[@manuelramos5068]

Thank you. It means a lot. Sometimes it gets hard so it helps to hear this.

[@vebonczynski]

Will you put your kid to school (or is he already)? Or you believe in home education?

[@felihappy412]

Oh thats an interesting question....:) Actually I would love to make home schooling but here in germany it isnt possible...

[@demiwashere]

UNSCHOOL

[@manuelramos5068]

We read about a family who fled Germany because they were homeschooling I believ you can google "Romeiki family homeschool" and more info will come up. We are trying to be as careful as possible and only want the best life for him. We are applying the son-rise program at the moment which encourages the child to be homeschooled but doesn't require it. He is 5 years old and we might choose to homeschool this school year depending on his progress and what he feels most comfortable with.

[@vebonczynski]

Manuel Ramos Thank you for your transparency :D

[@KaleiLag]

My daughter LOVES green juice too! Kale, spinach all of it! And she rarely gets sick like I do too! The last time she had a fever was about 2 years ago! Green juice and eating clean has amazing benefits and I'm so happy to watch the lifestyle you live! It's refreshing!

[@Ezrm24_]

Can you guys please all do a "what I ate today " like what little manny and just all of you eat on a everyday basis if you can , thanks.

[@hayleylambert1682]

Me and my husband are parents to a 11 month old baby girl - she is truly the light of our lives. Since the day I found out I was pregnant, we have been trying to change our old food habits for new pure healthy organic ones and looking at other ways to improve and better condition our lifestyles. Well done you two!!! You have given us so much inspiration. You guys are fantastic parents and what a beautiful little boy!!! Keep it going, never give up, feel the positive change!!!!! X

[@babygiirl0931]

You guys should do genetic testing just in case you want more kids. It is expensive but is worth it. It can inform you on a lot of different diseases that guys might be prone to or your offspring. It's good tool for preventative measures and a great way to change your lifestyle and diet even more.

[@RSS2828]

I love how you two are raising your child, I hope I can be a parent like that one day!

[@jasmarier]

I almost feel like my input would be irrelevant to share because you guys know a lot more than I do about living a clean and organic lifestyle... But I like a lot of Michael T. Murray's books, so if you haven't checked out any of his work you should give it go And I just want to say I really appreciate these vlogs! I really learn off something from this. My grandfather has been living an organic lifestyle for such a long time (and it got a little stricter when my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer). My grandmother did pass, but I feel like my grandparents living in Hawaii and living a healthy lifestyle really made her live beyond her expected years. I actually plan to visit my grandfather this summer to receive some insight from his lifestyle because this man is really in shape (mind and body). I really look up to people like yourselves, and hope to achieve a happier and healthier way of living Sorry for the blabber haha...Thank you so much! I love you guys :)

[@AjsGirl70]

God bless all three of you! This is when it goes beyond youtube, it's about people helping other people. That is a gift that keeps on giving!

[@lester2588]

God bless you guys 👪❤️

[@ShelbyMercedes46]

Such an inspirational family.

[@rah.r5830]

LOL lil' manny looks like a young Bruno Mars

[@Anivre22]

You guys are amazing. My mother has type 2 diabetes, congestive heart failure, suffered a stroke & now she's in the hospital because she had a seizure. I take care of her all by myself & it can be so stressful. Thank you guys so much for sharing your story & motivating me to live a healthier life style. Peace, love & God bless.

[@sorana87]

beautiful people inside and out one love

[@beeeeeep96]

Your lifestyle and decisions for you son is truly inspiring! Thanks for sharing this ☺️

[@sexciistef]

I really appreciate you guys.

[@Mrs.AlbaRamos]

Thank You! We appreciate you too :)

[@chica212]

Where do I begin? I watched the first video without sound so I didn't know what was going on and later on learned about little Manny through your Instagram posts. Thank you for sharing this information and pls continue to share. I went to the doctor on my birthday and the doc said I may have lupus because there's inflamation in all of my muscles. I instantly started to blame myself for what I eat and basically not taking care of myself. Then I decided I don't want to deal with traditional doctors, I wanted to take the natural route with everything but did not know where to start, typical me I just froze and didn't want to deal with the situation at all. Thank you so so much for all these alternative lifestyle tips, I am slowly doing a 360 with my lifestyle, eating habits, etc... Getting that water filter and the ceramic pans. The farmer's markets are so far from where I live but I'm going to make it my business to make it there every week. Thx again for sharing ❌⭕️

[@Dzkb5]

U should give us some food recipes please 😉🌱

[@kkeanisie]

I couldn't possibly be more thankful for these two vlogs you've posted! Despite not dealing with the same circumstances, it's incredible how sharing what you've done for little Manny and yourselves can spark such a yearning to do the same for us. My little brother was born two weeks ago, and from the moment he was born I knew I wanted to take the initiative to help raise him such as you raise Manny, health-wise. Thank God I have parents who are eager to learn these ways too, they just watched your videos and were so happy to learn about what you guys had to say! - Also, of course, I can't wait to start changing my lifestyle for my own benefit! I'm only 19 but I deal with PCOS and other things that could potentially threaten the way I want to live my life in the future. I'd love to see how my diet could play a vital role in curbing the toll these things take on my body! The mere fact that what we put into our bodies becomes of us is enough to inspire me for a lifetime. So, THANK YOU TWO! It's because of you that I've began doing my research and reading books on all relatable topics. You've helped plant the seed and I'm ready to do the work in order for it to grow and flourish in my life and in the lives of the loved ones around me! God Bless yall!

[@mychanneleeezey]

Have you guys looked into a raw vegan diet and the benefits of it?

[@ClaudineT1]

Said it before, said it again, but you guys are an inspiration. I'm studying naturopathic nutrition so know about most of the things you're referring to, but I struggle to keep up with all the reading, all the research, making a decision about what to implement and then actually doing it! And I only have myself and a full time job to maintain. How you do it, plus KZbin, plus consciously raising a healthy family is amazing. To find two people who love each other, who fully support each other and are like minded when it comes to putting their health and their family first is truly a blessing also. Final point, I live in London and having just come back from where my dad was born in the Caribbean I've decided I need to move closer to the sun and a more natural way of living too. The vitamin D just feels so much more vibrant, I actually glow! Thanks for sharing your story. Wishing you all the best. Manny you are great and so heartfelt. Love you too, Alba 😊x

[@VulnerableVoicezPodcast]

May I ask about the WiFi being harmful? I'm curious now lol. I don't want it affecting me or my family

[@creolan]

***Edit: To be clear... There's not much evidence from peer-reviewed scientific research that supports that WiFi, or radio waves, pose a danger to human health. If you're curious about the research, take a look at the study below, as an example. Mice exposed to radio waves over a long period of time, did not exhibit differences in development, memory, or learning. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25251701 If a WiFi signal can pass through walls, it certainly can pass through living things. The thought is that WiFi exposure can affect the biology and chemistry of living things at the cellular level, similar to X-rays or UV rays from the sun. I can see how this would make WiFi signals sound dangerous to most. However, a WiFi signal transmits energy in the form of radio waves (radios and cell phones also transmit waves of this energy type) and radio waves are very low energy. They have much much much less energy than visible light waves. So given that they're low energy, the likelihood of any radio wave causing damage to cells or organisms, is extremely low. And still, most living things have repair processes in place to fix any damage to the cell. Even if WiFi exposure could harm one's health, we should be much more concerned about visible light waves since they're higher energy (so, would that mean we should always keep the lights turned off???). This comment is not at all to negate any of the life style choices Alba and Manny are making. I think this video was fantastic and a great example of taking control over our own (and our family's) health! Researching everything is key. Since research evolves and our thought process evolves as we attain more knowledge, empowering ourselves towards optimal health is an ever changing and dynamic process. Thanks again for the video and best wishes with your family's new start in LA!!

[@greatbrittanyy]

Interesting

[@BeautyntheKinkssisters]

Very interesting Xoxo

[@creolan]

***** Unfortunately it's impossible to eliminate exposure to radio waves because they occur in nature (produced by lightening, the sun, and other celestial objects) and are critical for a lot of man-made technology. You can reduce your exposure but you'd likely have to make significant lifestyle changes (no technology that's "wireless", no GPS, nothing that requires an antenna or receiver, no cell phones, no going to places where any of these things exist). I'm not sure if that's feasible or worth the effort in most parts of the world...

[@aavalestormiconicperformer]

Ms Woods Bonjour, I know that cellphones held to your ear for long periods of time is harmful.

[@ElizabethGomez11]

Beyond beyond grateful for your vlogs concerning your son. I am always open to hear what other parents are doing. It makes me frustrated with myself because I realize how much I've dropped the ball with my son. Sometimes we take the easy way..."yeah go watch spongbob"...that's the worste. But life gets busy blah blah.....your so inspiring. The commitment. Learned so much. I would like to learn more about that vinegar drink u make. Perhaps food tutorials of snacks u make Manny. I think that is the hardest struggle besides technology in my house. I want to throw the tv out the window right now.

[@Jasminebeautifysoul]

are you guys into religion? I never hear y'all talk about y'all faith, I love y'all little family I think you guys are truly amazing, you guys would be even more amazing if y'all had Christ in y'all life, make Jesus the center of y'all life and watch everything else will fall into place.

[@yeahhottie]

So What about those people whos Live never fall into place. Some people have terrible things happen To them..I Guess christ just picks his favorites.

[@ynellatitus7972]

They are into religion they just don't want to offend anyone on their channel while talking about God

[@daylynr8278]

You guys are on the right track :) I completely changed everything in our lives when my son was diagnosed at age 3. His grandmother would write him letters from the U.K to our home in America so he could read them at night to his baby dolls and me. I completely went back to the basics on everything and its done wonders. Our son is now 10 and is doing great. He's been placed in a school for gifted children and one thing I'm so grateful for is all the awareness now on Autism. God Bless your family :)

[@dreamcatcher121000]

you are both such loving, strong parents. I'm a special school teacher and you see so many kids go through that have never had any help or guidance or had anyone understand them. its so important to start implementing things early on to help them be the best version of themselves, and i commend you both on being so dedicated. you're a gorgeous family and I'm so glad i stumbled upon these videos. one bit of advice, i understand technology can be over stimulating and can become a bad habit however there are some amazing aps for kids that either struggle with speech for example, or simple learning aps that can build skill and strengthen neural path ways. its not for everyone, but i have seen its benefits :) its all about patience and love x

[@Aliccccee]

As an Occupational Therapist I love how proactive you are, keep up the incredible work you're doing. The sensory toys and books are great, something I would suggest is allowing him to do an activity involving lights/music at least once a week or so, in order to prevent him from becoming overwhelmed when he does come across these things in public or later in life. By what you said about the plane experience, it sounds like he is learning to self-regulate which is fantastic :)

[@h.o.y.o]

I love that you two are completely aligned. Also, a lot of these influencers are a cookie cutter of one another. You two are so genuine and the only beauty /lifestyle account I follow. I came back to this video but this time with a child who potentially has this illness. Wishing you guys all the best

[@TinaWinaYo]

you two should come out with a book all about your healthy lifestyle. :) I would love to be as knowledgable as you guys are when it comes to health! so inspiring!

[@gabytm0717]

I think it's amazing how you and your husband have really put your child first!! Not alot of parents are willing to give up almost everything they have known for the benefit of their child.God Bless your Family! I seriously admire the strength you guys have!!

[@dahrendie]

Awww, may God continue to bless you and Your family. You have a precious little boy with a very bright future ahead of him.❤

[@lizziee6559]

Little Mannys laugh is so precious. You all are such a wonderful family, I love the support you both give to each other and your son.

[@zamzamabdi5055]

You guys are so inspiring!! I am only 19 and you inspire me already to one day become as an amazing parent like you. This is literally what role model is about, seriously. The part of supporting your adorable son, not just physically (through organic lifestyle) but also through mentally support... I just agree with everything! Keep spreading that message guys! Dealing with health issues myself (bedbound by CFS and Fibromyalgi) for several years, along with ADHD, it made me rethink about what I put in my body. So, organic lifestyle associated with daily detox, did not only reduced my physical symptoms, it also minimized the frustration and the "everyday-lacks" caused by my ADHD. I no longer have to worry about the future anymore! And it's amazing. Can only thank God for! Now I feel somehow free, calm and satisfied both with what life has to offer and with myself, for the first time. (Sorry for "the essay", just wanted to share and emphasize that this practicing in the form of health really outweigh everything else in long term. At least for me:)). Wishing you all the best!

[@Jagnant28]

There is so much love within this video I could cry. When I have children in the future, I will love them just as much as you two love little Manny. Beautiful family inside and out. Stay blessed.

[@prettyinpink9893]

your authenticity and transparency is extremely refreshing.

[@ThatEarthyJoint]

Little Mannys skin is flawless! Such a beautiful complexion!

[@christianmommybillionaires]

new subscriber for this video. I just started my channel after finding out I'm pregnant. I want to raise my kid on fresh food with no preservatives. and yes organic label means nothing thanks for bringing light back to this situation. blessings to your son! and you guys

[@christianmommybillionaires]

and thanks for sharing your story

[@Casey93Renee]

Keep up the good work! It's nice to have people to relate too, but not always possible. Especially when you're doing things out of the "norm." Just stay strong and confident, and know that you're doing the right thing

[@ravrav19]

I love how you pointed out that organic food are expensive, but rather why conventional food are so cheap! I started following you about 2 days ago and I've binge watched all your videos; love them, keep it up!!

[@UKCurlyGirl]

I love you guys!! Thank you for sharing this info a lot of your lifestyle is something I have always aspired to have! To watch you guys live it and share your tips is so inspiring reminds me how important it is to make a change. Health Is Wealth! xxx

[@HadiaDiallo]

Amazing parenting and so many great sacrifices. His blessed to have you guys in his life. I use to babysit a 6 year old boy with autism for like a year and everything about him made me smile. I totally found this video inspiring.

[@Helene08817]

You and your husband are such an inspiration. God doesn't make mistakes. You two were chosen for this and you are doing an excellent job in providing the different avenues people can take who are faced with this. Thank you!

[@belindae5250]

You are so blessed to have and support each other. And little Manny give you the opportunity to see the world through different eyes, that's priceless! Much love and strengh to all of you and keep going!

[@rollodolo]

Alba - I just have to tell you this. You three make up such an incredibly beautiful family. Inside and out. It's rare I get affected by videos - But it warms my heart as to how your family interacts with each other, eats healthily, etc. Love and light.

[@NaturallyChea]

Little Manny is just the cutest kid ever! You have such a beautiful family Alba, both inside and out. I love the natural approach that you and Manny are taking in raising your son. Although I can't really relate with your situation i just want to let you know how much I've learned about living a more natural lifestyle through your channel. My father passed away from cancer in 2012 so it really made me reevaluate my own lifestyle and what I put in and on my body because I never realized how many harmful chemicals are in stuff that we use and consume on a daily basis. My husband and I always discuss how we will be raising our future kids with a similar natural approach to things and I'm constantly bugging my older sister telling her all negative side effects about all the fast food and crap she feeds my nephews smh. So thank you for inspiring people to live a healthier lifestyle
