Synopsis

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.

Reviews

tessturberfield Most of the claims in this documentary are false, and some are down right dangerous! (You CANT eat as many vitamin supplements as you like, you can overdose and get adverse side effects, get your vitamins from fruit and veg and they're completely safe though) The 'experts' in this clearly have no idea what they're talking. It's a shame because healthy eating is an important message, but they've warped this message so much. Eating a plant based diet is incredibly good for, especially making your own food instead of eating processed food, but most of the 'science' in this is completely false. And vitamins are good for you, eat as many as you can, but in the form of fruit and vegetables! This is in no way dangerous and the best way to uptake vitamins.
David Austin 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:QOL (quality of life): 24500406 22021693 PMC2693571 PMC4199254 PMC3691494 14606098; Prevent sepsis & organ failure: PMC3937164; Corrects cancer-caused scurvy: 15068981 19284416 15690864; Decreases Inflammation: PMC3751545 PMC3968960 PMC3480897; Strengthens Immunity: PMC3202620 PMC4015650 1590939 7772741 PMC3111558 18468413; Improves chemo-effectiveness: 21402145 19254759 10559547 10067654 15523102 17283738 17405678 PMC3260161 17367938 15514298 PMC3128375 PMC2363673 PMC3482496; Inhibits the spread of cancer: PMC2820478 15166494 PMC2562367; IVC achieves cancer-killing concentrations: 22332036 PMC1224653 PMC1885574 4430016 PMC2363673 18678913; Relatively extremely safe when done correctly: PMC2898816.Find out for yourself.

Desertman84 Food Matters is a documentary about nutrition, exploring malnutrition and cancer causes.It examines the current state of America's food supply, and suggests that the over-industrialization of food production is making the nation more ill by the moment. Also,it analyzes the proliferation of chemical additives in "natural" foods; looks at the relationship between the lack of nutrients in the American diet; and the nation's rising health care costs, and offers tips for system detoxification.The film is presented in the style of a documentary, containing interviews, animations, and footage of various therapies and practices. It presents the thesis that a selective diet can play a key role in treating a range of health conditions such as diabetes, cancer, heart disease and depression,often without the need of medical treatment. Furthermore, it tends to label the medical industry as a "sickness industry" profiting from sickness as opposed to health, and goes up to the point of accusing the medical and pharmaceutical industries of a conspiracy to perpetuate poor health, and thus, maximize their profit. 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. It promotes vitamins and a raw food diet; other claims are depression treated with vitamin B3 (niacin) and cancer cured with vitamin C.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 was one of the most informative documentaries ever release about health and nutrition. Everything in it will encourage a change one's lifestyle and take responsibility for one's health.Anyone who has health issues should watch this and be ready to get educated.It will really tell you how food really matters.
dkynaston88 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!
