Product Description
Let thy Food be thy Medicine and thy Medicine be thy Food Hippocrates. That is the message from the founding father of modern medicine echoed in the controversial new documentary film Food Matters from Producer-Directors James Colquhoun and Laurentine ten Bosch. With nutritionally-depleted foods, chemical additives and our tendency to rely upon pharmaceutical drugs to treat what s wrong with our malnourished bodies, it s no wonder that modern society is getting sicker. Food Matters sets about uncovering the trillion dollar worldwide sickness industry and gives people some scientifically verifiable solutions for curing disease naturally. In what promises to be the most contentious idea put forward, the filmmakers have interviewed several world leaders in nutrition and natural healing who claim that not only are we harming our bodies with improper nutrition, but that the right kind of foods, supplements and detoxification can be used to treat chronic illnesses as fatal as terminally diagnosed cancer. The focus of the film is in helping us rethink the belief systems fed to us by our modern medical and health care establishments. The interviewees point out that not every problem requires costly, major medical attention and reveal many alternative therapies that can be more effective, more economical, less harmful and less invasive than conventional medical treatments.

This should be vital material to watch if you're in the medical or nutrition/physical fitness world and have an impact on teaching others about how to take care of and heal themselves.
This is what the mainstream schools miss and don't teach, even though after the movie you'll feel like you've just seen something that makes such plain sense, but is not widely held as truth.
I encourage for people to have viewing parties with this and spread the message. Why else is cancer affecting 1 in every 2 people, neurological diseases going through the roof and diabetes out of control for our children and adults.
Encouraging you to quit reading this review and grab the movie (I think it's on netflix as well or you can download it from their website). I am a PT and this was information that I can easily use to pass onto my patients. It's good common sense information that can make you stop and realize that what you eat is much more important vs. how much you eat.

This is a great movie that everybody in the industrialized world should watch, especially America. It's probably not going to keep you hanging on the edge of your seat since it's mostly interviews with various people. However, the information contained within is priceless. If you read lots of health books it'll probably help reinforce what you already know and if you don't it will probably inspire you to start. If you're new to the kind of info presented in this documentary you might want to check out these books:
1. Ultraprevention by Mark Hyman and Mark Liponis
2. Empty Harvest by Bernard Jensen and Mark Anderson
3. 50 Secrets of the World's Longest Living People by Sally Beare
There are countless other great books but this is a start. I hope this movie and others like it inspire more people to start taking responsibility for their health.

This was one of the MOST informative documentaries that I have ever watched. Everything I saw shocked me in a good way and sparked a change in my lifestyle. Everyone who has health issues should watch this, and get educated about nutrition. It makes a BIG difference.

Not accurate on science/nutrition; hysterical quackery
