Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

In general I support a lot of the "emotional tone" of this movie. I do think in many cases the medical industry has turned into the sickness industry. For an example of that you can watch a movie called the "Widowmaker" about a man who developed a scan to determine if you have cardiac disease risk and it was ignored.A lot of stuff that is cheap and effective, such as diet, is being ignored so we can keep playing this food drug pusher game with people and making them sick.There is that going on in the world, and in our country.But, you have to go at something like that very carefully and factually. Right away in this movie the woman Charlotte Gerson talked about there being 52 nutrients that plants need to survive. Well, science only knows about 18 of them. I listed them, they are well known, and it is not mystery how they were found.She did not mention any of the elements outside of the 18, but insinuated that lack of these nutrients causes cancer and disease.That is when I turned the movie off. When a writer or director does not vet their guests or their facts, and decides to go with statements made in this movie without qualifying them or explaining them, I think that is disinformation and manipulation.There is a lot of that in the nutrition industry. There are people that tell you that any and everything can cure cancer, or cause cancer.I gave this movie a 2 because it is not super-terrible or unwatchable, but it is dishonest in my opinion and did not check or explain its facts. Skip it and watch other movies, but more importantly, keep you thinking cap on, and anything that sounds fishy, look up and try to find out more about. Don't believe anything based on authority.2/10

Don't waste your time. Aside from being a poorly made, tedious documentary, I can't seem to find any evidence supporting the very outlandish claims that the people interviewed make--I can, however, find plenty of evidence that contradicts these claims. And I don't know about you but I'm going to need a good amount of evidence that someone lost 15 lbs in one day and didn't die, and that Vitamin C can cure cancer. They do make some points that seem okay like eat vegetables, take your vitamins etc. but who didn't already know that?What little evidence that does come up is not verified by the documentary at all, the viewer is left on their own to find it, and for all the major points that the doc makes I cannot find anything(with the exception of Linus Pauling's study on vit c done back in 1968, but it has been contradicted many times since (see the citations on the wikipedia pg of Linus Pauling) and Pauling's study was found to be bunk anyway. (ibid)). Also, I can't seem to find credentials on anyone interviewed here (well, not any credentials they would want to brag about anyway, like how Dan Rogers got his MD from a University in Mexico). Andrew Saul does write the occasional paper in the journal he mentions but he only has a small handful of citations and only then because he cites his own papers. There are also many logical fallacies. For example, Andrew Saul is being interviewed and says "Doctors say you shouldn't take vitamins". (or something to take effect) But I've never heard of a doctor doing that. Classic Straw-man fallacy. After all, if that were true how could Centrium claim that it's the "#1 Doctor recommended". All the doctors I've spoken to recommend multivitamins, with few reservations.Alright so to sum it up. Very strong, outlandish statements, and no evidence to back them up, not even if you look for it.

OK, so I have been researching a lot of this for some time. I've watched all of those Netflix movies, Food Matters, Food Inc., The Gerson Therapy, The Beautiful Truth, Etc. I've read documentaries, I am even about to read Max Gerson's book. As of right now I am completely on the fence as to whether this is all BS or not, so if you want an unbiased opinion, hear me out.It has always been my philosophy to always question things, to doubt what may be true, and to consider things that may seem far-fetched. This debate is no different, and here is my opinion on both sides of the debate:For Food Matters and Nutritional Therapies: It seems so simple, and so easy to understand. Being healthy can of course make your life longer, and can probably prevent diseases such as cancer. If this is the case, why can't good health also REVERSE the effects? Also, why would all of these people go to the trouble of putting this movie together, and then putting it on the internet to see for free? As for the whole "corporate invaded health care" I don't see any reason why this wouldn't be true, there are so many other things our citizens don't know, why can't this just be one more?Against Food Matters and Nutritional Therapies: The first thing in my head wasn't to doubt the movie, I actually full heartedly believed it for a day after I watched it. Then I began questioning. Think about it, this is basically a conspiracy against 90+% of doctors, who ALL don't know ANYTHING about nutrition. It doesn't make much sense now, does it? And why would any doctor knowingly not release this information, realizing how many people it could save?The point here, don't take sides and call it a night. Research it. Some of it could be true, some false. ALL of it could be true! Who knows? The information is here for you, books are here. Research. I know one thing is for certain, good nutrition is key to leading long healthy lives.A vegan diet is actually best for us, because we once were herbivores and just recently began eating meat. Non-cooked foods are of course better as well. I personally recommend eating an organic vegan diet, BUT do not do so without knowing what nutrition, go to a nutritionist if you need to, but you'd be better off eating a diet filled with red meat than eating a vegan diet that has no nutritional value. Be smart about it, and remember to always question, and don't always just blow off those conspiracy buffs.

Nothing New Age about it! The types of people trying to get the message across that food matters, have been around for AGE's. It's just that most people can't handle the truth and choose to see it as new age baffle. A lot of emphasis goes on the Pharmaceuticals and money changers, but I think the public is just as much to blame for turning a blind eye.Is what it is...It tells the truth and most of the people telling it simply don't get the recognition they deserve as their credentials are not recognized by the very firms that poison us to begin with. How can they only 6% of doctors in medical schools are only being taught about the importance of nutrition.The System is a Joke and most people are laughing their way, to their own graves. Since viewing over 12 months ago I have personally recovered from a host of illnesses. Its change my life around and I know it's True.Well worth the watch, you'll be thankful you did!
