My own sister even called DSS on me. My daughter is exceptionally healthy and thriving. I wish everyone would leave me alone, because I believe that the diet that we are eating is without a doubt the best diet for both me and her. I would like support on this from other mothers who are raising their children similarly, and from doctors and professionals who advocate a living foods diet. What can I do to provide reassurance to family that what I am doing isn't "crazy"? I want whats best for my daughter, and I want these ignorant family members off my back! Please help, thanks!

There is nothing you can do to stop them from saying what their are saying, let a lone to accept your philosophy or life style.
What they think of you "is not" you business. And "Do Not" make it your business.
Like this, misery likes company.(gain some loose some).
There are people out there, that can not do what you are doing, do not undesrtand what you are doing, and do not allow you to do it either. (ignorance is bless for many others).
If you accept what you are doing for you and your daughter,with the best possible understanding and accept it as true and correct, tell them all, (what they think of you is NOT your business.
I went through the same with my daughter, and told them to go and fly a Kyte.
