DESCRIPTION: A similar exponential increase in carotid artery plaque buildup was found for smokers and egg eaters. This is the same prestigious research team that wrote the landmark review I based the videos Egg Cholesterol in the Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/egg-c...) and Avoiding Cholesterol Is a No Brainer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/avoid...) on.
The 25,000 cigarette study is detailed in What Women Should Eat to Live Longer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/what-...) and it's the opener to my 2012 year-in-review video Uprooting the Leading Causes of Death (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/uproo...), in which I explore the role diet can play in preventing, treating, and reversing our top 15 killers.

One Of The Most Important Scientists In The World: “Most Cancer Research Is Largely A Fraud”

One Of The Most Important Scientists In The World: “Most Cancer Research Is Largely A Fraud”
advertisement - learn more
“Everyone should know that most cancer research is largely a fraud, and that the major cancer research organisations are derelict in their duties to the people who support them.” (source)
The above quote comes from Linus Pauling, Ph.D, and two time Nobel Prize winner in chemistry (1901-1994). He is considered one of the most important scientists in history. He is one of the founders of quantum chemistry and molecular biology, who was also a well known peace activist. He was invited to be in charge of the Chemistry division of the Manhattan Project, but refused. He has also done a lot of work on military applications, and has pretty much done and seen it all when it comes to the world of science. A quick Google search will suffice if you’d like to learn more about him.
This man has been around the block, and obviously knows a thing or two about this subject. And he’s not the only expert from around the world expressing similar beliefs and voicing his opinion.
Here is another great example of a hard hitting quote when it comes to scientific fraud and manipulation. It comes from Dr. Marcia Angell, a physician and long time Editor in Chief of the New England Medical Journal (NEMJ), which is considered to be one of the most prestigious peer-reviewed medical journals in the world. I apologize if you have seen it before in my articles, but it is quite the statement.
“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of the New England Journal of Medicine” (source)
The list goes on and on. Dr. John Bailer, who spent 20 years on the staff of the National Cancer Institute and is also a former editor of its journal, publicly stated in a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science that:
“My overall assessment is that the national cancer program must be judged a qualified failure. Our whole cancer research in the past 20 years has been a total failure.” (source)
He also alluded to the fact that cancer treatment, in general, has been a complete failure.
Another interesting point is the fact that most of the money donated to cancer research is spent on animal research, which has been considered completely useless by many. For example, in 1981 Dr. Irwin Bross, the former director of the Sloan-Kettering Cancer Research Institute (largest cancer research institute in the world), said that:
“The uselessness of most of the animal model studies is less well known. For example, the discovery of chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of human cancer is widely-heralded as a triumph due to use of animal model systems. However, here again, these exaggerated claims are coming from or are endorsed by the same people who get the federal dollars for animal research. There is little, if any, factual evidence that would support these claims. Practically all of the chemotherapeutic agents which are of value in the treatment of human cancer were found in a clinical context rather than in animal studies.” (source)
Today, treating illness and disease has a corporate side. It is an enormously profitable industry, but only when geared towards treatment, not preventative measures or cures, and that’s an important point to consider.
Another quote that relates to my point above was made by Dr. Dean Burk, an American biochemist and a senior chemist for the National Cancer Institute. His paper, “The Determination of Enzyme Dissociation Constants (source),” published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society in 1934, is one of the most frequently cited papers in the history of biochemistry.
“When you have power you don’t have to tell the truth. That’s a rule that’s been working in this world for generations. And there are a great many people who don’t tell the truth when they are in power in administrative positions.” (source)
He also stated that:
“Fluoride causes more human cancer deaths than any other chemical. It is some of the most conclusive scientific and biological evidence that I have come across in my 50 years in the field of cancer research.” (source)
In the April 15th, 2015 edition of Lancet, the UK’s leading medical journal, editor in chief Richard Horton stated:
“The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Science has taken a turn toward darkness.” (source)
n 2005 Dr. John P.A. Ioannidis, currently a professor in disease prevention at Stanford University, published the most widely accessed article in the history of the Public Library of Science (PLoS) entitled Why Most Published Research Findings Are False. In the report, he stated:
“There is increasing concern that most current published research findings are false.”
In 2009, the University of Michigan’s comprehensive cancer center published an analysis that revealed popular cancer studies are false, and that there were fabricated results arising due to conflicts of interest. They suggested that the fabricated results were a result of what would work best for drug companies. After all, a large portion of cancer research is funded directly by them. You can read more about that story here.
There is so much information out there, and so much of it is coming from people who have been directly involved in these proceedings. There is really no shortage of credible sources willing to state that we live in a world of scientific fraud and manipulation.
All of this can be attributed to the “corporatocracy” we live in today, where giant corporations owned by a select group of “elite” people have basically taken control over the planet and all of its resources.
This is precisely why so many people are flocking towards alternative treatment, as well as focusing on cancer prevention. Much of what we surround ourselves with on a daily basis has been linked to cancer. Everything from pesticides, GMOs, multiple cosmetic products, certain “foods,” smoking, and much much more. This is something that is never really emphasized, we always seem to just assume that donating money to charities will make the problem go away, despite the fact that their business practices are highly questionable.
That being said, so many people have had success with alternative treatments like cannabis oil – combined with a raw diet or even incorporated into their chemotherapy regimen – that we should not feel as though there is no hope for the future.
The official stance on cannabis is a great example of the very practice of misinformation that I’m talking about. Its anti-tumoral properties have been demonstrated for decades, yet no clinical trials are taking place.
I am going to leave you with this video, as I have done in previous articles. It provides a little food for thought. Ignorance is not the answer, although this information can be scary to consider, it’s nothing to turn a blind eye towards.

Meroll Singapore
There is only one real cure for most of the 300 DT (Deficiency Toxicity) chronic illnesses. Healthy food and healthy lifestyle (HFAHL). Pills and surgeries are usually only temporary solutions and may even be a dangerous and detrimental distraction from real cure.
Most people should try healthy food and healthy lifestyle (HFAHL) for the following health conditions before spending thousands and even millions of dollars on medications and/or surgeries: diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arthritis, back pain, toothache, eczema, dementia, alzheimer's, thyroid disorder, asthma, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, infertility, stroke, anxiety attacks, chronic cough, migraine, prostate disorder, stomach ulcers, joint pain, kidney stone, gallstone, etc. There are over three hundred DT chronic illnesses that can be reversed by HFAHL.
When you are diagnosed with early stage diabetes, your doctor may suggest that you learn to eat healthy and exercise. The amount of research and testimonies are countless, showing that healthy eating habits and healthy lifestyle is the most or in many cases the only effective cure for common DT (Deficiency Toxicity) chronic illnesses today. This is because DT chronic illnesses are caused by deficiency and toxicity in the foods we eat. The only way to reverse this is obviously by learning and practicing to eat the correct way.
Medication and surgery can be very effective and useful in some cases but it still needs to be combined with a healthy food and healthy lifestyle. When surgeries and medications are recommended, it is always wise to seek a second and a third opinion. You need to understand clearly why this procedure is absolutely necessary, instead of blindly jumping into it. All surgeries have risk of death, stroke and complications. Many surgeries have irreversible and permanent damage that will affect you for the rest of your life. While seeking a second and third opinion and waiting for surgery, work with a Meroll HFAHL specialist. There is a very high chance that your body will heal itself just by eating healthy food and a healthy lifestyle thus making the risk of surgery unnecessary.
People who eat correctly and lead a healthy lifestyle will also have a slim body, a slim face, look younger, less wrinkles, a beautiful complexion, beautiful hair and plenty of energy. They will think better, remember better, see better and will get up in the morning feeling fresh everyday.
When you start eating real healthy food and lead a correct healthy lifestyle, your toothaches for the last 5 years may suddenly disappear, bleeding gums for 25 years may recover, 30 years of severe hip pain that required hip replacement may heal without surgery, diabetic symptoms disappear, blood pressure and cholesterol goes back to normal, colorectal cancer heals by itself, heel spurs vanish, tinnitus disappears and anxiety attack is gone. You slim down by 15kg, look younger, your hair stops dropping and starts growing again, you start to wake up in the morning fresh and are now able to fall asleep easily at night and you suddenly have the energy of a twenty year old. It is normal for all the DT chronic illness to reverse simultaneously when you apply the correct HFAHL. No surgery and pill can achieve this.
Everyone should invest their time to study healthy eating habits and lifestyle as early as possible in life. It will help to improve your life tremendously. If you have kids who have eczema, asthma, type 1 diabetes or epilepsy, eating healthy can show you a noticeable difference within a few weeks.

Meroll shows you how to enjoy eating at a higher level. You get to eat from a large variety of food choices and try many delicious foods that you have never eaten before. You will also learn to improve your taste buds to increase the enjoyment when eating. You do not need to starve yourself to slim down and you will learn how to increase your metabolic rate giving you plenty of natural energy to want to develop enjoyable and addictive exercising hobbies.
Nowadays, most people in developed cities place health as one of their priorities in life. They spend a lot of their time researching, reading, discussing and learning about health. Many drink lots of water, eat very little carbohydrates, eat lots of salad and exercise a lot and yet they are still over weight and sick. Why?
In the mass media there are millions of articles and videos that are commissioned by for-profit establishments using the best talents in the world for one objective: to convince those who read a lot and are constantly exposed to mass media education and the internet, and give the impression that eating their processed or unhealthy food is ok and even healthy.
Learning what is the truth on your own is not as easy as most people think it is, every month millions of people losses their life from guessing the wrong solutions on reversing their DT chronic illnesses. Finding out the different between toxic process mash potato and ice cream that causes chronic illnesses and natural delicious mass potato and healthy ice cream that heals your body is just one of the few thousands lessons you need to learn and understand. To learn a simple subject like this without guidance for most people is already very hard, imagine you have a few thousands of this lessons to learn. Meroll help by simplifying the learning process to less than 1% of what some people may have to face.
After learning the simplified Meroll version of HFAHL, it is not the end but only the beginning. The next stage is to change a few hundred toxic habits and develop new healthy addictive habits. In many case here you will need, one to one consulting, counselling, coaching, mind CV training, distraction training, support groups, reminder services, subliminal messaging and many more. Some cases only 30 days rehabilitation away from home is the best solution to start.

KIND CURE: KIMBERLY BEATS INFERTILITY
http://thekindlife.com/blog/2014/11/kind-cure-kimberly-beats-infertility/?utm_source=TheKindLife.com&utm_campaign=f2bb02f25e-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_99b6eceae0-f2bb02f25e-30202237
Kind Lifer Kimberly recently shared her story with me… Thank you so much Kimberly for sharing this and taking action to help others!!
Seven million women in the United States each year find themselves not able to conceive. They want a child desperately, more than anything in the world, but for some reason their bodies are not cooperating. I found myself in this same situation. I was in my mid-late 30’s and was diagnosed with unexplained infertility. Basically, that meant doctors had found no medical reason why I was unable to conceive. I tried conventional fertility treatment, but still no baby. I eventually gave up and came to grips that my husband and I would be a childless couple. We would travel. We didn’t travel much more, but that’s what people say to make themselves feel better and we were no different.
Time passed after giving up on becoming pregnant, when I stumbled across a new way of eating. A whole foods plant-based diet, specifically raw food for me, and in less than three months of eating this way, I found myself pregnant! What I discovered was the same diet that helps cure diseases and conditions such as heart disease, cancer, migraines, etc. cured my unexplained infertility. You can only imagine my happiness and joy after years of not being able to conceive and learning that food balanced my hormones and increased my health to a level that allowed me to give birth to a beautiful baby boy. I felt compelled to share my story with as many women and families as possible. I want to help women learn what good nutrition is and how it can change their lives as it did mine.
I’ve recently published a book, Passing the Pregnancy Test, which is the story of my journey to better health and the ability to conceive. The book also includes 11 interviews with experts in the field including Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Pam Popper, Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Brendan Brazier, Joe Cross and more.

Sun is good, Sunscreen is bad.

Scientists Blow The Lid on Cancer & Sunscreen Myth
According to a June 2014 article featured in The Independent (UK), a major study conducted by researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden found that women who avoid sunbathing during the summer are twice as likely to die as those who sunbathe every day.
The epidemiological study followed 30,000 women for over 20 years and “showed that mortality was about double in women who avoided sun exposure compared to the highest exposure group.”
Researchers concluded that the conventional dogma, which advises avoiding the sun at all costs and slathering on sunscreen to minimize sun exposure, is doing more harm than actual good.
That’s because overall sun avoidance combined with wearing sunscreen effectively blocks the body’s ability to produce vitamin D3 from the sun’s UVB rays, which is by far the best form of vitamin D.
In the USA, vitamin D deficiency is at epidemic levels. Ironically, vitamin D deficiency can lead to aggressive forms of skin cancer. A ground-breaking 2011 study published in Cancer Prevention Research suggests that optimal blood levels of vitamin D offers protection against sunburn and skin cancer.
Additionally, vitamin D protects the body from diseases like multiple sclerosis, rickets (in the young), tuberculosis, inflammatory bowel disease, type 1 diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjogren’s syndrome.
According to the Vitamin D Council, researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham recently reported that “lack of sun exposure may lead to cognitive decline over time.”
A dissident dermatologist
Bernard Ackerman, MD, (deceased 2008) was one of the world’s foremost authorities on the subject of skin cancer and the sun, sunscreens and melanoma skin cancer risks.
Below are Ackerman’s views excerpted from an article in The New York Times (July 20, 2004), titled “I BEG TO DIFFER; A Dermatologist Who’s Not Afraid to Sit on the Beach”:
The link between melanoma and sun exposure (dermatology’s dogma) is unproven.There’s no conclusive evidence that sunburns lead to cancer.There is no real proof that sunscreens protect against melanoma.There’s no proof that increased exposure to the sun increases the risk of melanoma.
A 2000 Swedish study concluded that higher rates of melanoma occurred in those who used sunscreen versus those who did not.
Sunscreens: Cancer-Causing Biohazards
Elizabeth Plourde, PhD, is a California-based scientist who authored the book Sunscreens – Biohazard: Treat as Hazardous Waste, which extensively documents the serious life-threatening dangers of sunscreens not only to people but to the environment as well.
Dr. Plourde provides proof that malignant melanoma and all other skin cancers increased significantly with ubiquitous sunscreen use over a 30-year period. She emphasizes that many sunscreens contain chemicals that are known carcinogens and endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC).
Environmentally, she notes: “In areas where there has been much exposure to ED [endocrine disrupting] chemicals, coral and other sea populations have died off and the prevalence of dual-sexed fish has risen.”
Dr. Plourde’s research on mice and sunscreen exposure also showed increases in both pup and maternal mortality as well as reproductive issues in subsequent generations.
Additionally, the book documents how sunscreen chemicals have polluted our water sources including oceans, rivers and municipal drinking water. Worse yet, testing revealed that 97% of Americans have sunscreen chemicals in their blood!
Dr. Plourde’s book also has a chapter on the importance of vitamin D3 to health, and she posits that the widespread vitamin D3 deficiency is linked to overuse of sunscreen combined with sun avoidance in general.

Some of the health benefits of black pepper include:
1. Health Benefits Of black Pepper: Blood Pressure
Black pepper has major compounds that regulate blood pressure levels in our bodies. It is also rich in vitamin C which helps prevent hypertension by increasing the excretion of lead from our bodies. The high levels of essential minerals like potassium, calcium and iron in black pepper are blood pressure lowering compounds. The major underlying cause of high blood pressure can be attributed to very high levels of sodium in the body. Black pepper contains an insignificant amount of potassium, which is very potent in minimizing the effects of high sodium levels in the body.

3. Health Benefits Of black Pepper: For Colds and Flu
Black Pepper has anti-microbial properties that help destroy cold-causing germs and pathogens, thereby clearing nasal passages and relieving congestion. Black Pepper helps keep the flu bugs away by inducing sweating which helps dislodge mucus in the chest and nose. Hot spices like black pepper are known to give people runny noses. This is just a way of removing the excess mucus lodged in the chest cavity. Vitamin C, that is an excellent fighter of colds and flu, is an active vitamin contained in black pepper. In India, a common remedy for colds is taking a hot soup called rasam, that is prepared using herbs and spices like tamarind and black pepper.
4. Health Benefits Of black Pepper: Heart Disease
Two active ingredients in black pepper: Piperine and Chromium contain anti-inflammatory properties that are essential in healing inflammation in the walls and arteries of the heart. Black pepper may also help regulate blood cholesterol and suppressing bad cholesterol which eventually ends up clogging arteries surrounding the heart, thereby causing cardiovascular problems. Sprinkle a dash of ground black pepper to your fresh salad for a healthy well-functioning heart.

5. Health Benefits Of black Pepper: Anti-Cancer
Black pepper, when combined with turmeric is said to significantly lower the odds of cancer by fighting of the growth of cancerous cells. Piperine, the primary anti-inflammatory phytochemical found in black pepper suppresses cytokines (substances produced by cancerous cells)thereby, reducing the harmful activities of cancerous cells and their growth into tumors. Black pepper also contains potent anti-carcinogen and anti-bacterial values that protect the mucus membranes lining the stomach, preveting microbial and bacterial attack.
6. Health Benefits Of black Pepper: Cooling the Body
You can beat the summer heat by adding hot spices including black pepper to your diet. Since black pepper is a hot spice, it helps cool the body by increasing blood circulation and also by inducing sweating which releases the excessive heat from our bodies. Black pepper also helps to rapidly raise your body temperature then lower it at intervals and this eventually cools down your internal body temperature. You can toss a couple of black peppercorns to a wide range of spicy foods from hot Indian curries to sizzling Mexican summer salads.

Black pepper also helps to rapidly raise your body temperature then lower it at intervals and this eventually cools down your internal body temperature. You can toss a couple of black peppercorns to a wide range of spicy foods from hot Indian curries to sizzling Mexican summer salads.

Cancer Documentaries
Documentaries
"Only 5–10% of all cancer cases can be attributed to genetic defects, whereas the remaining 90–95% have their roots in the environment and lifestyle."
While I've been a vegetarian and organic consumer for 3+ years, my astrocytoma has been around 10 to 20 years. My three years of eating an organic, plant-based diet very likely delayed the inevitable seizure and reduced the growth rate of my tumor (when partially removed on Feb. 14, it was the size of a small tangerine). Now, my goal is to reverse the glioblastoma with nutrition, diet, and natural supplements (metabolic therapy), among several other potential treatments. I will be leaving no natural stones unturned.
Over the last decade, these documentaries have helped me form a different perspective on the cancer industry and it's methods of treatment. I'd like to share them with you. Watch one, watch all, or watch none - my intention is not to force information on anyone.
Some of these documentaries are quite sobering (such as Cancer: The Forbidden Cures and Burzynski: Cancer is a Serious Business) when considering I now have terminal brain cancer. Life should always precede profit. Well, the health care system tells me my only option is a painful, drawn out death that just so happens to make them rich! I do not accept my death sentence, nor do I accept being treated with 'medication' (radiation) that happens to cause as much cancer as it cures, and I certainly do no accept the recommendation of taking chemotherapy for the remainder of my life! Because natural remedies cannot be patented, no clinical trials for these treatments are conducted...no patents, no profits, no trials.
But without further ado, here are some documentaries that have steered me down this path of attacking terminal brain cancer. Please, family, friends, and others, practice cancer prevention with a nutritional, organic, gmo-free diet. As of 2000, one in three Americans now gets cancer.
Health Care & Illness Prevention
Cut Poison Burn (2012)
The Film tells the grim tale of the half century War on Cancer and focuses on the character of Thomas Navarro. In 1999, the four year old boy was diagnosed with brain cancer and thrust into the system of Surgery, Chemo and Radiation and not allowed to be treated with a proven method by Texas Doctor Stanislaw Burzynski. The war between the Navarro Family and the FDA is perhaps this country's greatest evidence as to why there should be medical freedom and how since the War on Cancer began in 1971, the war is still failing in 2009.
Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare (2012)
The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare tackles one of the most pressing issues of our time: what can be done to save our broken medical system? The film examines the powerful forces trying to maintain the status quo in a medical industry designed for quick fixes rather than prevention, for profit-driven care rather than patient-driven care. After decades of resistance, a movement to bring innovative high-touch, low-cost methods of prevention and healing into our high-tech, costly system is finally gaining ground. ESCAPE FIRE follows dramatic human stories as well as leaders fighting to transform healthcare at the highest levels of medicine, industry, government, and even the US military. The film is about a way out, about saving the health of a nation.
The hidden story about vaccines, autism, drugs and food... Americas health has been BOUGHT.
Your health, your family’s health. Now brought to you by Wall Street…
“If you thought they hurt us with the banks, wait till you see what they’re doing to health care.”
Vaccines. GMOs. Big Pharma.
Doctored (2012)
Medical Inc. reveals the unseen tactics of these "influencers" in an investigation that leads to the highest levels of the American Medical Association (AMA) and reveals an alarming portrait of deception and criminality. Is it because the "Medical Monopoly" spends millions a year attacking, ridiculing, and trying to discredit these natural therapies? The answers are almost beyond belief, until Medical Inc. takes us into the courtroom with five chiropractors who, having been labeled "an unscientific cult," fought back and won a landmark verdict. Their heroic story forms the backdrop of one of the most personally compelling documentaries ever. Because of their bravery, the medical industrial complex is no longer blocking access to safe natural alternatives, pill popping is giving way to smarter preventative care, and purveyors of sickness are being shoved aside, resulting in a healthier life for us all.
Cancer: The Forbidden Cures (2010)
In the last 100 years dozens of doctors, scientists and researchers have come up with the most diverse, apparently effective solutions against cancer, but none of these was ever taken into serious consideration by official medicine. Most of them were in fact rejected out-front, even though healings were claimed in the thousands, their proposers often being labeled as charlatans, ostracized by the medical community and ultimately forced to leave the country. At the same time more than 20,000 people die of cancer every day, without official medicine being able to offer a true sense of hope to those affected by it. Why?
Forks Over Knives (2011)
FORKS OVER KNIVES examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods. The major storyline in the film traces the personal journeys of a pair of pioneering yet under-appreciated researchers, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn.
Dr. Campbell, a nutritional scientist at Cornell University, was concerned in the late 1960’s with producing “high quality” animal protein to bring to the poor and malnourished areas of the third world. While in the Philippines, he made a life-changing discovery: the country’s wealthier children, who were consuming relatively high amounts of animal-based foods, were much more likely to get liver cancer. Dr. Esselstyn, a top surgeon and head of the Breast Cancer Task Force at the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic, found that many of the diseases he routinely treated were virtually unknown in parts of the world where animal-based foods were rarely consumed.
These discoveries inspired Campbell and Esselstyn, who didn’t know each other yet, to conduct several groundbreaking studies. One of them took place in China and is still among the most comprehensive health-related investigations ever undertaken. Their research led them to a startling conclusion: degenerative diseases like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and even several forms of cancer, could almost always be prevented—and in many cases reversed—by adopting a whole-foods, plant-based diet. Despite the profound implications of their findings, their work has remained relatively unknown to the public.
The filmmakers travel with Drs. Campbell and Esselstyn on their separate but similar paths, from their childhood farms where they both produced “nature’s perfect food”; to China and Cleveland, where they explored ideas that challenged the established thinking and shook their own core beliefs.
The idea of food as medicine is put to the test. Throughout the film, cameras follow “reality patients” who have chronic conditions from heart disease to diabetes. Doctors teach these patients how to adopt a whole-foods plant-based diet as the primary approach to treat their ailments—while the challenges and triumphs of their journeys are revealed.
Money & Medicine (2012)
Watch on Netflix or Purchase
Money & Medicine investigates the dangers the nation faces from runaway health care spending as well as the dangers patients face from over-diagnosis and over-treatment. In addition to illuminating the waste and overtreatment that pervade our medical system, Money & Medicine explores promising ways to reduce health care expenditures and improve the overall quality of medical care.
The Affordable Care Act that the Supreme Court recently upheld extends health care coverage to over 30 million uninsured Americans but actually does very little to make health care affordable. Since 1970, health care spending has grown 9.8% annually, more than twice the rate of inflation. Medical costs now consume 17.3% of our gross domestic product. That’s $8,086 for every American or about twice as much per capita as most developed countries spend. Although we pay more for medical care than any other country, America currently ranks 19th in the world in preventable death, 26th in life expectancy, and 31st in infant mortality.
A World Without Cancer (2010)
Individuals unfamiliar with B-17's remarkable results often scoff at such alternative medical "lunacy". Two caveats may aid the hard-nosed skeptic. As Griffin admits candidly, B-17 isn't a magic cure-all; it is a key component in a holistic regimen that requires serious lifestyle changes and genuine sacrifice. The mere fact that the FDA outlawed laetrile is not prima facie proof that it fails to cure cancer; an open minded individual might ask, "Does scientific evidence proving that laetrile cures cancer exist?"
Griffin provides this evidence. His thesis is that cancer is a vitamin deficiency disease analogous to scurvy and that mainstream "treatments" such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery are quackery analogous to colonial bloodletting. The book is divided into two sections, one which defines cancer and its cure, and a second that explains how and why this knowledge was suppressed.
Some complain that the first portion of the book is boring, excessively technical, and textbookish. This isn't Harry Potter or Danielle Steel! It is an explanation of complex biological processes. Amazing claims require stringent proof, and Griffin takes the time to make his case fastidiously, in terms laymen can understand.
Griffin explains that cancer is caused by fast-growing quasi-embryonic cells which are used by the body in healing. The body uses enzymes secreted by the pancreas to turn this process off when healing is completed, but these enzymes are also used in digestion, and moderners who deviate from our intended hunter-gather diet squander them breaking down processed food. In the absence of these prohibitive enzymes, the quasi-embryonic cells grow unchecked. This is cancer. To cure or prevent it, one reverts to a diet that does not drain the enzymes, and supplements their supply by ingesting an external source--B-17. Mainstream treatments are a failure because they do not address this underlying cause of cancer; Griffin explains why chemo, radiation, and surgery victims who survive do so spite of these procedures, not because of them.
The Beautiful Truth (2008)
A troubled 15-year-old boy attempting to cope with the recent death of his mother sets out to research Dr. Max Gerson's claims of a diet that can cure cancer as his first assignment for home-schooling in this documentary from filmmaker Steve Kroschel (Avalanche, Dying to Have Known). Garrett is a boy who has always been close to nature. He lives on a reserve with a menagerie of orphaned animals, and over the years he's become especially sensitive to the nutritional needs of the diet-sensitive animals he's charged with caring for. When Garrett's mother suffers a tragic and untimely death, the boy falls into a dangerous downward spiral and nearly flunks out of school. Increasingly concerned for Garrett's well-being and determined to strengthen their bond despite the many challenges on the horizon, his father makes the decision to begin home-schooling the distressed teen. Garrett's first assignment: study a controversial book written by Dr. Max Gerson, a physician who claims to have discovered a diet that's capable of curing cancer. Is Dr. Gerson's therapy truly the legitimate, alternative cure it appears to be? In order to find out the truth behind this long-suppressed treatment, Garrett interviews not only Dr. Gerson's family members, but various doctors, skeptics, and cancer patients as well. His studies completed and his findings revelatory, Garrett now sets out to tell the entire world about The Gerson Miracle.
Burzynski: Cancer is a Serious Business (Part One)
Watch on Netflix or Purchase
Burzynski, the Movie is an internationally award-winning documentary originally released in 2010 (with an Extended Edition released in 2011) that tells the true story of a medical doctor and Ph.D biochemist named Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski who won the largest, and possibly the most convoluted and intriguing legal battle against the Food & Drug Administration in American history.
Read More on the Burzynski Movie site. Part two of the documentary is now out!
Burzynski: Cancer is a Serious Business (Part One)
Watch here!
A compelling follow-up to the award-winning documentary, Burzynski; Burzynski: Cancer is Serious Business, Part II explores a controversial cancer therapy in clinical trials by USA's FDA--and cancer patients experience using this therapy.
Dying to Have Known
In this documentary, Dying to Have Known, Steve Kroschel spends 52 days looking for evidence supporting the effectiveness of Gerson Therapy. He travels all over the world and get testimonies of doctors and scientists as well as real patients who assure us that this therapy is effective in curing cancer and other diseases. This documentary offers proof and hope.
Th biggest question this documentary brings ups is why is Gersons Therapy being depressed? Is it possible that the medical industry doesn't want us to learn the truth because there simply is too much money to be made in the cancer industry!This film is very eye opening!
The Gerson Miracle
THE GERSON MIRACLE introduces us to the physician who developed The Gerson Therapy more than 75 years ago a therapy that has proven to cure cancer and most other chronic and degenerative diseases. Through his own painful struggle with migraines, Dr. Max Gerson conceived a treatment based entirely on nutrition and the body s own ability to heal itself. He cured his migraines and summarily concentrated on other methods that prove to naturally boost the immune system this is the real miracle. Nine current and former patients speak passionately about their successful recoveries from the most deadly cancers. Their first-person recovery stories are the greatest testament to the therapy s efficacy. And it is through Dr. Gerson s daughter, Charlotte, that the therapy is still alive in the face of almost insurmountable opposition from the American Medical Association and most major pharmaceutical companies. This film offers a path to a healthier life, in tune with our bodies and environment, not in conflict with them.
The New Medicine explores the need for medicine to move away from an entrenched culture of drugs and surgery to focus more on prevention and engaging people as active players in their own healthcare.
The program also reveals that medical education is also changing in response to these needs. The show takes viewers to Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia, one of a growing number of medical schools where there is renewed emphasis on teaching some of the skills of pre-modern medicine — the importance of listening, comforting, and encouraging the body’s own healing abilities.
The traditional doctor-patient relationship is undergoing a shift from paternalism to partnership, as practitioners and consumers alike have begun to promote a more holistic form of healthcare called integrative medicine—seeking to heal the whole person, rather than simply cure a disease.
Fat, Sick, & Nearly Dead
100 pounds overweight, loaded up on steroids and suffering from a debilitating autoimmune disease, Joe Cross is at the end of his rope and the end of his hope. In the mirror he saw a 310lb man whose gut was bigger than a beach ball and a path laid out before him that wouldn't end well— with one foot already in the grave, the other wasn't far behind. FAT, SICK & NEARLY DEAD is an inspiring film that chronicles Joe's personal mission to regain his health.
With doctors and conventional medicines unable to help long- term, Joe turns to the only option left, the body's ability to heal itself. He trades in the junk food and hits the road with juicer and generator in tow, vowing only to drink fresh fruit and vegetable juice for the next 60 days. Across 3,000 miles Joe has one goal in mind: To get off his pills and achieve a balanced lifestyle.
The Science of Healing
Author and medical researcher Dr. Esther Sternberg examines the role the brain plays in healing. The program addresses some critical questions: What is healing? Is there a mind/body connection? What happens in the brain when healing occurs? What role does emotion play? Dr. Sternberg uses her own story of illness and recovery as a parallel to her investigation of what scientists are learning about the mind/body connection.
Food & Agriculture
The World According To Monsanto
Genetic Roulette: The Gamble on Our Lives
Food Inc.
The documentary reports many controversies surrounding the use and promotion of genetically modified seeds, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), Agent Orange, and bovine growth hormone. Cases in the United States (including Anniston, Alabama), Canada, India, Mexico, Paraguay, the United Kingdom (Scotland) and France, are explored, claiming that the corporation's collusion with governments, pressure tactics, suppression and manipulation of scientific data, and extra-legal practices aided the company's attempts at dominating global agriculture. Scientists, representatives of the United States Food and Drug Administration and the United States Environmental Protection Agency, civil society representatives, victims of the company’s activities, lawyers, and politicians are interviewed.
In March 2008, French journalist Marie-Monique Robin released the results of her three years of worldwide research into Monsanto. A book was published by La Découverte, a French editor, and a video documentary, Le Monde selon Monsanto (The World According to Monsanto), was released on DVD and shown on Arte, the Franco-German culture TV channel.
Robin travels to India, Mexico, Argentina, and Paraguay to see how Monsanto's genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have affected local farmers using it for their crops. The documentary claims that GMO use has increased suicide rates of farmers in India. However, research by IFPRI has shown that this is not the case.
Genetic Roulette: The Gamble on Our Lives
Never-Before-Seen-Evidence points to genetically engineered foods as a major contributor to rising disease rates in the US population, especially among children. Gastrointestinal disorders, allergies, inflammatory diseases, and infertility are just some of the problems implicated in humans, pets, livestock, and lab animals that eat genetically modified soybeans and corn. Monsanto's strong arm tactics, the FDA's fraudulent policies, and how the USDA ignores a growing health emergency are also laid bare. This sometimes shocking film may change your diet, help you protect your family, and accelerate the consumer tipping point against genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Don't miss this film! The main feature film Genetic Roulette is 85 minutes. The package also contains a bonus DVD with: Seeds of Freedom (28 min) Narrated by Jeremy Irons, produced by The Gaia Foundation and African Biodiversity Network, this landmark film shows how the story of seed at the hands of multinationals has become one of loss, control, dependence and debt. More information about the Seeds of Freedom can be found here. The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods (42 min) Jeffrey Smith presents a concise, hard-hitting talk to more than 800 healthcare practitioners at Andrew Weil's Arizona Center for Integrated Medicine conference in 2011. The Politics of GMOs (16 min) This presentation excerpt describes the unholy alliance between the US government and Monsanto, as well as some highlights of Monsanto's dark history. 12 Short Public Service Announcements All content in the bonus disk can be played on television without charge or special permission.
Food Inc.
Documentary filmmaker Robert Kenner uses reports by Fast Food Nation author Eric Schlosser and The Omnivore's Dilemma author Michael Pollan as a springboard to exploring where the food we purchase at the grocery store really comes from, and what it means for the health of future generations. By exposing the comfortable relationships between business and government, Kenner gradually shines light on the dark underbelly of the American food industry. The USDA and FDA are supposed to protect the public, so why is it that both government regulatory agencies have been complicit in allowing corporations to put profit ahead of consumer health, the American farmer, worker safety, and even the environment? As chicken breasts get bigger and tomatoes are genetically engineered not to go bad, 73,000 Americans fall ill from powerful new strains of E. coli every year, obesity levels are skyrocketing, and adult diabetes has reached epidemic proportions. Perhaps if the general public knew how corporations use exploited laws and subsidies to create powerful monopolies, the outrage would be enough to make us think more carefully about the food we put into our bodies.
The Future of Food
THE FUTURE OF FOOD offers an in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled U.S. grocery store shelves for the past decade. From the prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada to the fields of Oaxaca, Mexico, this film gives a voice to farmers whose lives and livelihoods have been negatively impacted by this new technology. The health implications, government policies and push towards globalization are all part of the reason why many people are alarmed about the introduction of genetically altered crops into our food supply. Shot on location in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, The Future of Food examines the complex web of market and political forces that are changing what we eat as huge multinational corporations seek to control the world's food system. The film also explores alternatives to large-scale industrial agriculture, placing organic and sustainable agriculture as real solutions to the farm crisis ...
Home (2009)
We are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth's climate.
The stakes are high for us and our children. Everyone should take part in the effort, and HOME has been conceived to take a message of mobilization out to every human being.
For this purpose, HOME needs to be free. A patron, the PPR Group, made this possible. EuropaCorp, the distributor, also pledged not to make any profit because Home is a non-profit film.
Earthlings
Using hidden cameras and never-before-seen footage, EARTHLINGS chronicles the day-to-day practices of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit.
King Corn
KING CORN is a fun and crusading journey into the digestive tract of our fast food nation where one ultra-industrial, pesticide-laden, heavily-subsidized commodity dominates the food pyramid from top to bottom -- corn. Fueled by curiosity and a dash of naivete, two college buddies return to their ancestral home of Greene, Iowa to figure out how a modest kernel conquered America. With the help of some real farmers, oodles of fertilizer and government aide, and some genetically modified seeds, the friends manage to grow one acre of corn. Along the way, they unlock the hilarious absurdities and scary but hidden truths about America's modern food system in this engrossing and eye-opening documentary.
In Organic We Trust
Documentary filmmaker Kip Pastor puts the organic food movement under the microscope in order to determine whether it's truly about good health, or just a bunch of hype calculated to capitalize on our desire to maintain a well-balanced diet. Conversation with farmers, scientists and critics of the organic food movement offer a well-rounded look at the topic from a variety of perspectives.
Vanishing of the Bees
This documentary takes a piercing investigative look at the economic, political and ecological implications of the worldwide disappearance of the honeybee. The film examines our current agricultural landscape and celebrates the ancient and sacred connection between man and the honeybee. The story highlights the positive changes that have resulted due to the tragic phenomenon known as "Colony Collapse Disorder." To empower the audience, the documentary provides viewers with tangible solutions they can apply to their everyday lives. Vanishing of the Bees unfolds as a dramatic tale of science and mystery, illuminating this extraordinary crisis and its greater meaning about the relationship between humankind and Mother Earth. The bees have a message - but will we listen?
Fresh
Watch of Netflix or Purchase
The underground documentary that became a massive grassroots success, FRESH is the embodiment of the good food movement. FRESH outlines the vicious cycle of our current food production methods, while also celebrating the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are reinventing our food system, from a basketball player and former-executive-turned-urban-farmer to a poetic prophet of the fields who tells us: "We can raise everything we need without any of the industrial food system." Director Ana Joanes takes her camera coast to coast and explores the lives of amazing Americans who are redefining the way we eat and how we live. FRESH features urban farmer and activist, Will Allen, the recipient of MacArthur's 2008 Genius Award, sustainable farmer and entrepreneur, Joel Salatin, made famous by Michael Pollan's book, The Omnivore's Dilemma, and supermarket owner, David Ball, who continues to challenge our discount superstore-dominated economy. Both an enlightening documentary and a stirring call to action, FRESH transforms the way we look at food.
Food Fight
We need to double the amount of food we produce in the next fifty years to feed the world's growing population. Are GM crops the answer? Or are they a dangerous Frankenstein technology that could start an environmental catastrophe?
To find the answers Jimmy is on a journey that will take him from the vast soya plantations of Argentina to the traditional Amish farms of Pennsylvania; and from the cutting-edge technology of the GM laboratories to the banana plantations of Uganda.

The same people who bought us Food Matters are the makers of Hungry For Change. It’s shot in the same documentary style and features among others, Dr Joseph Mercola, Kris Carr, Joe Cross, Dr Alejandro Junger and my favouirte raw food avocate David Wolfe.
‘Hungry For Change’ exposes shocking secrets the diet, weightloss and food industry don’t want you to know about. Deceptive strategies designed to keep you craving more and more. Needless to say, if you are battling weight issues this film is a MUST see.
The film gave Sugar a terrible wrap. And MSG, I had no idea you were in 80% of modern foods; well I wouldn’t would I, because you are HIDDEN under 60 different names on the ingredients label! And last but certainly not least Aspartame – I am SO glad I never drank you, the side effects you cause are REALLY scary.
Farmageddon
Watch on Netflix or Purchase
Shocked by stories of government bureaucracies taking drastic action to shut down small family-owned farms that provide their communities with healthy, non-genetically modified foods, filmmaker Kristin Canty embarks on an eye-opening cross-country trip to find out why our right to seek out natural foods is slowly being stripped away. The result is a look at the ways that onerous regulations are having a detrimental effect on our health, and our freedom to choose what we feed to ourselves, and our children.
Genetic Chile
Watch on Netflix or Purchase
A look at the world of genetically modified foods through the lens of New Mexico's iconic chile pepper. The Chile pepper defines New Mexican cuisine and is considered a sacred plant by many cultures. Despite overwhelming evidence of gene flow, persistent safety questions, predatory multinational agribusiness corporations and potential economic damage, the State of New Mexico funded research to produce a GMO chile. It was the first time a state government directly targeted a crop for genetic modification. Because the funding is public, we were able to force a rare interview with a genetic researcher at NMSU. This film is packed with information about the harmful use of GMO technology and the ignorance shown by the proponents of GMO crops.
Food Matters
"Let Thy Food Be Thy Medicine, And Thy Medicine Be Thy Food." - Hippocrates That is the message from the founding father of modern medicine echoed in this brave new documentary film brought to you by Producer-Directors James Colquhoun and Laurentine ten Bosch. 'Food Matters' is a hard hitting, fast paced look at our current state of health. Despite the billions of dollars of funding and research into new so-called cures we continue to suffer from a raft of chronic ills and every day maladies. Patching up an over-toxic and over-indulgent population with a host of toxic therapies and nutrient sparse foods is definitely not helping the situation. In a personal quest of discovery James & Laurentine together with a film crew and the editorial and production expertise of Enzo Tedeschi have set out on an independent mission to uncover the wholesome truth. 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. 'Food Matters' seeks to uncover the business of disease and at the same time explore the safe, cheap and effective use of nutrition and supplementation for preventing and often reversing the underlying causative aspects of the illness. With the premise of the film being: access to solid information helps people invariably make better choices for their health. The 'Food Matters' duo have independently funded the film from start to finish in order to remain as unbiased as possible, delivering a clear and concise message to the world. Food Matters.
