FOOD THAT MATTERS 8 MIN CLIP
"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 overcoming illness naturally.
"With access to better information people invariably
make better choices for their health..."
In what promises to be the most contentious idea put forward, the
filmmakers have interviewed several leading experts 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.
