“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.
“With access to better information people invariably
make better choices for their health…”
In what promises to be the most contentious idea put forward, the
filmmakers have interviewed several leading experts 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.
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.
