“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 the controversial new documentary film Food Matters from Producer-Directors James Colquhoun and Laurentine ten Bosch.
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.
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.
The focus of the film is in helping us rethink the belief systems fed to us by our modern medical and health care establishments. 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.

Altough the purpose of this Documentary is good, it misses alot of things!
Food as i vegetables and fruits are not as nutritious as animal products, and cooked food, contrary to what is said in this documentary realises nutrients and makes them more availibe for uptake.
The change from uncooked food to cooked food is what made the modern mans brain more than dubbel in size and made us live longer than to our 20s.
modern medicine has a big part of us living longer, just look at undeveloped countries and developed countries.
of course, if you eat too little or too much of anything its not good! as of the vitmans, nothing is mentioned about reactions of other substances they have in too large doses, ex vit c and iron and the problems that give.
people just have to learn that siting at home all day watching tv and eating stakes that leads to getting health problems are not cured by a pil IF lifestyle is not changed!
