FoodMatters

Last weekend, my husband and I watched the documentary, FoodMatters. Whoa. What an education! Here is a excerpt about the film:

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.

I appreciated that the panelists were not angry at the medical community and even complimented it on the developments for acute conditions, illnesses, and circumstances. Personally, I am very indebted to the medical community in the way of child birth! However, we can help ourselves far more than we do in the way of chronic health issues.

Now, Philip and I take a powerful, patented nutritional supplement called Reliv, which has done wonders for us. Which convinced me that these people have to be right. FoodMatters was encouraging to make some additional changes as well. Here are the changes that I/we are trying to implement:

1. Drink 1 liter of water first thing in the morning. When you get up in the morning, before you have coffee, tea, breakfast, anything else - drink 1 L of water. It really gets things moving, if you know what I mean.

2. Eat 51% raw. Cooking food actually changes the chemical composition and our system reads it as a foreign body it needs to fight off! Our bodies think we are sick and it initiates the immune system.

And you can actually watch FoodMatters for FREE Oct 2-8! Follow the link to register and you can also watch the first chapter of the film. The FoodMatters site said that the film was controversial...I will stand by my recommendation, though.

Let me know your thoughts if you have watched it!!
