    Amazing and necessary documentary

    This film could save your life or that of a loved one and is a definite must watch.

    It aligns with my experiences in eating. That is the more quality fresh food that you eat and this next bit is my own take "by eating less or smaller portions" the better you will feel. Life extensionists will attest to the eating less formula.

    The broad picture is nothing any of us don't already know essentially that eating healthy will make you healthy. You are what you eat! The film explores high dosages of nutrients in combating cancer and that this methodology has proved successful. Watch the film to catch reference to studies.

    After watching this ANYONE who has loved one(s) who are sick and dying of cancer will be searching furiously for the studies that show nutrition supplementation AND a wholesale change in lifestyle and diet might just be what can save their life.

    How the medical industry calculates "cancer survivors" which is another scam pushed on to the public is also covered, as is the excellent discussion on the disease industry which is more about needing sick people to care and prescribe drugs to rather than preventing illness.

    Don't Throw Out the Baby with the Bath Water

    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.

    Amazing eye opener

    A beautiful well-laid out, all covering documentary of the problems associated with diet and the real ways to heal everyone. I don't understand the ignorance of people when they still believe standard medicine will heal our modern days wealth related diseases. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that if modern medicine was successful we would not be having more deaths by cancer, diabetes, heart diseases etc.

    This is a basic introduction to a topic that needs more discussion!

    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!

    Tells the Truth & Nothing But The Truth

    Nothing New Age about it! The types of people trying to get the message across that food matters, have been around for AGE's. It's just that most people can't handle the truth and choose to see it as new age baffle. A lot of emphasis goes on the Pharmaceuticals and money changers, but I think the public is just as much to blame for turning a blind eye.

    Is what it is...It tells the truth and most of the people telling it simply don't get the recognition they deserve as their credentials are not recognized by the very firms that poison us to begin with. How can they only 6% of doctors in medical schools are only being taught about the importance of nutrition.

    The System is a Joke and most people are laughing their way, to their own graves. Since viewing over 12 months ago I have personally recovered from a host of illnesses. Its change my life around and I know it's True.

    Well worth the watch, you'll be thankful you did!
