Food Matters

This film has little new info but is presented in a way that the viewer can't shrug off. The message is ridiculously simple but has been all but lost among the mainstream of our society. The idea that vitamins and superfoods have tremendous benefits should hardly be considered pseudoscience.

I highly recommend watching and then doing your own research. Watch with your friends and discuss. As you can see from the reviews you will either enjoy it or be offended. (Anyone in big pharma can't help but hate it. The number of individuals who die as a result of properly taken medications is astonishing.)

After watching the film I definitely had a conviction to look more into vitamins for my family's health. We have since started going to an Dr. who stresses prevention and has given us guidance with vitamins and supplements(there are a lot out there and some are completely worthless).

If you are a Dr. and stress the importance of vitamins with your patients good for you. Our country must start being more proactive with it's health, we've ignored it for far too long!

Such a bimodal distribution in the reviews ... wonder why? Look at the content. Those who are for it, are totally for it, and in every case it is because they have personally experienced what Saul is talking about.

Those against it are totally against it, abusive in fact, have never .. . let me repeat: NEVER tried Saul's recommendations. Also, in general they are squaking out of being completely offended because their pride has been hurt by Saul's accusations. Can you say "biased"?

Especially with regard to vitamin therapies. For every peer review with original data (not trumped up "comprehensive reviews" which is a ploy to cherry pick data to fit your desired outcome) ... original data that shows no benefit from IVC you will find NONE that followed the recommended protocol that would achieve a minimum of millimolar concentrations of vitamin C in blood serum. In otherwords ... they're all underdosed.

For those properly dosed (usually requires a minimum of 10g/dose of intravenous vitamin C) EVERY study has found at a minimum significant quality of life improvements from energy, to pain management, to organ function, to attitude and wellness for most of the respondents. There are at least 4 dozen peer reviewed studies all with original data, that show such findings ... and that's quality of life ... if you want to actually kill cancer with vitamin C you need even more. At least 50g per dose.

Not increasing blood levels of vitamin C up into the millimolar range has been a very effective way to create a study that pretends to show that Vitamin C is ineffective at killing cancer. Also, the convenient neglect regarding quality of life improvement from vitamin C is also very devious by those more interested in saving the reputation of their medical comrades than in looking deeper into the data to see how horribly underdosed their "proof" is, or how all the test subjects were stage 4 metastatic chemo resistant patients in their coveted anti-vitamin C studies.

Meanwhile many oncologists, not all mind you, will push experimental oral chemo drugs costing $10,000 per month to buy someone an extra %15 longer survival, whereas PROPER-protocol (emphasis on "proper) IVC (intravenous vitamin C) in general extends life far further for 1/8th that cost plus imparts a ton of quality of life improvements while the oral chemo makes people feel like crap and want to die.

These are the facts. And FYI .. that crap about super high dose vitamin C causing cancer ... beyond laughable. All the actual tests prove the opposite: higher dose more selectively kills cancer (while strengthening the normal cellular matrix). Don't believe me? then Look up the following ID numbers here (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed) if you don't believe me:

I am inspired. I am motivated. I love watching this documentary, even though it's the fifth time I've seen it. Watching this has been on my to-do list for a long time. And, am I glad I saw it! I showed it to many of my friends and we all wholeheartedly agreed that this is a documentary we want to see a few times a year. It's that good! Every time I see it, I hear something new. And for the stuff I've already heard, it just further ingrains it in my sub consciousness and I feel myself internalizing its details more and more. I walk away feeling strong, smart, and empowered about my lifestyle decisions, albeit a bit frustrated at times because not enough people know this information.

I pretty much hang on every line of Food Matters. I love the discussion of vitamins and the vital role vitamin C can play in helping fight illness at various quantities. It was fascinating to learn about the therapeutic effects of niacin, and its history as a cure for depression with the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous. There is so much more that I could write but you should see it for yourself. It's fantastic!

I am a mother of four kids, and our family has a slew of health problems. After my husband got out of the hospital for gallstones, we started reading up on natural ways to get rid of gallstones, and stumbled upon this movie. We were enchanted. The information in this movie is such an eye opener. I also recommend watching "The Beautiful Truth"...what an epiphany! I want to just give this movie to everyone I know so we can all start being healthy. Our family is no different from everyone else-food wise. We have always tried to eat well, buy our kids healthy things to eat, etc. Little did we know that buying organic food and eating uncooked food was the key! We have been eating nothing but organic food for a week and a half and we feel great! My husband's gallstone pain is GONE...completely gone! I can now eat salad without any pain (I have diverticulitis). Two of my kids have ADHD and ADD, and they are CALMER already! I can't believe we've been poisoning ourselves all this time. The food industry is just a big money making lie!!!! Please watch this and other documentary's on food, it's a life change!

I give this 7 and not a 10 because I don't know about some of the claims made within the program (healing properties, miracles claims). I'm really unconcerned with the smaller details and examples presented in the film, because the message is spot-on. This country is sick. Just look around. MOST Americans are fat. Yes, most. Most are unhealthy at best. The greatest thing one can do for health is to consume a vegetable-based, whole foods diet. This is not even a question. This is common knowledge. Construct a diet plan that focuses on real, raw vegetable matter, followed by fats (yeah, you need plenty of 'real' fats too) and proteins (appropriate meats. yes, you were also born to eat some meat. there are processes at work within YOUR body that are solely present within carnivores). This is obviously how we were born to eat, but people have gotten so far away from this for convenience sake, etc. At the end of the day, setting aside some of the film's details, the core message is absolutely correct: eat correctly in order to live longer and healthier. Common sense.
