 A must see for everyone! September 2, 2010
Misty
What a fabulous DVD. We are consistently frightened and begin cancer treatment with cut, burn and poison. If one wants to do their best in avoiding cancer this is the movie. If you have just been diagnosed with cancer, this is the movie. Do not let mainstream medicine make your choices for you. Until my last breath, I will spread the word of nutrition and its contribution to a healthy body.
Another great reference is Dr. Patrick Quillin. In his book, Beating Cancer with Nutrition, one can find access to Nutrition Supporting Dr.s and Oncologists throughout the US.

 Erronious and No Supporting Evidence for 'Facts' August 14, 2010

I would like to start off by saying that I enjoyed watching this movie. I thought it was full of interesting theories on using food and vitamins to cure ailments such as depression and cancer. However, after watching the movie I decided to take the advice of one of the so-called Drs. and take up to 3000mg of Niacin (B3). Never. Ever. Do. That. It was evening when I finished watching the movie with a local 'foodie group' and so I decided to only take half of that dose. The pills come in 500mg caps. 6 would be 3000mg. That seemed like an awful lot. But in the movie one of the main men interviewed kept stressing that vitamins have killed only 10 ppl in the last 23 years and that it's pretty much nonsense to think of vitamins, at any amount, as harmful. In fact, they say that many patients have been given up to 11000mg of Niacin to combat depression.
3 minutes after I took 3 niacin pills (1500mg), my skin felt like it was on fire, my fingers got tingly, my ears started to get red. Apparently, Niacin causes a condition called flushing. Never was this mentioned ONCE in the movie. The flushing got worse, my face swelled up, my lips swelled, every inch of my skin was swollen and burning like the worst sunburn you could imagine. I was still able to breath but I seriously thought I was going into anaphalactic shock and I was trembling all over. I have never had a reaction like that to anything. Long story short, I ended up in the ER, with the Dr. laughing at me wanting to know why in the world I would take THREE pills and all they could do for me was give me an IV flush and send me home with benedryl. Apparently it wears off eventually but I was miserable the entire night... my skin hot and itching and burning.
After this I did a lot of internet research on niacin and some other things that they said in the movie. In the film they say that the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous suffered from depression and was cured of it by taking niacin supplements. They name the founder of AA as Bill Williams. I believe this is factually incorrect. His name was Bill Wilson.
I'm pretty sure if you dug even a bit deeper, you'd find many holes in the documentary's facts and research. I wouldn't recommend this video to anyone unless you did a lot of your own research to make sure what you were getting from it was actually true.
I'm a big fan of most of the recent food documentaries but this one is careless and irresponsible in the information that it presents.
Booooooooooooooooo.
Cooked Food Bad For You? August 5, 2010

This doc. was so biased I could hardly stand to watch it. I am a Nutritionist and have read several studies contradicting their statements. One of the most shocking things were when they said cooked food is bad for you....Nonsense
A Must See... July 28, 2010
Big Sky 77
One of the best documentaries of our time. I have quite a few on this subject but will say this one is my favorite. Do yourself and your family a favor and get this documentary. You are what you eat, but most have forgotten that.
Movie is an eye opener! July 22, 2010
Elise (NJ, USA)
We loved the movie, even though it is a bit sad how we are destroying our dirt and mother earth. A definite eye opener that makes you want to make changes. A must see.
