    And now the British government are appointing Coca Cola & Macdonalds as advisors in the food industry,
    Good Idea?
    YES?
    NO?
    DON’T CARE?

    I enjoyed listening to Morgan Spurlock once again. I bought the Super Size Me dvd a few years ago and that dvd inspired me. Thanks Morgan for having the passion to send your health message throughout the world!

    I have always believed that food has a major impact on our health. I have MS and have learned that when I eat certain things I cannot hardly walk at all. But other things suddenly
    seem to make things much better. My doctor says that can’t be true and my husband gets very angry when I start believing something other than what my doctor says. My doctor ‘seems’ to have medicine that can make everything better.

    It is wonderful to know that someone else believes the way I do!

    THANK YOU!!!

    I’ve been following David Wolfe’s advice, slowly as it does take some time to get accustomed to this diet. My sinuses have improved and my skin is getting clearer than it ever was.

    This video is outstanding. Our health is our most valuable asset… Education and prevention is the key; if more people would just stop wrecking their bodies and give raw and “true” nutrition and exercise a chance they would experience the most awesome change in the way they feel, think, basically an awesome improvement in all facets of their life. This is so important for the health future of our country. Hopefully, collectively we will increase the education and peoples experiences, will combine to dictate to the processed food purveyors of sickening food, that we don’t want to feel bad and sickened any longer, and hence we reject your processed, chemical ladened, nutrition stripped, toxic foods.

    Back in the 60′s I began to read Carlton Fredericks, then went on to Adelle Davis, Norman Walker, Paavo Airola, and the great Bernard Jensen. All of them preached the value of raw foods. However, it wasn’t until the 21st century that I learned from Dr. Linus Pauling’s teachings that all bodily functions are dependent upon the body’s pH, which must be kept alkaline in order to maintain a healthy body. The truth is we all are living on the edge, a marginal existence, due to the lack of minerals in our diets. Therefore our bodily pH (outside the bloodstream) is acidic, which allows disease and infirmities to take hold as we grow older. The condition has nothing to do with the stomach,of course, which is normally acidic. However, the acid build-up throughout the body is undetectable because it causes no pain or suffering until the damage is done (arthritis, ulcers, diabetes, cancer, etc.). The origin of the problem is that all food turns to uric acid when it is metabolized for our survival, and the acid must be neutralized before it can be transported to the kidneys or sweat glands for removal. Free acids are not allowed in the bloodstream, or death will shortly ensue. The body must depend upon the mineral content of the food we eat in order to neutralize the acids, and if there is not enough minerals, the acid is deposited in the flesh of the body where it slowly debilitates the surrounding area. That is the nature of the beast, and why we need whole organic natural foods. It all comes down to the realization that our cooked, canned, and processed diets lack four major nutrients: 1) minerals 2) enzymes 3) antioxidants 4) proteins, and two minor nutrients: omega oils and probiotics. We must take supplements for each of those nutrients regardless of the quality of the foods we eat. Nevertheless, eating whole raw organic foods is the only diet we should follow as our primary source of energy, and the use of blender drinks is the most efficient method of consumption because we can always add supplements to the mix, and it goes down easily while I’m eating my steak or fish. See phionbalance.com and thedietsolutionprogram.com.

    Addendum to my previous comment: The fly in the soup is Monsanto’s GM seeds, etc. It amounts to poisoning the well, because those demon seeds have caused death to animals and destroyed normal crops bordering on them. 90% of all soybeans are now genetically modified, and the list is growing. Please support responsibletechnology.org and centerforfoodsafety.org as much as possible and ASAP.

    Hi Morgan
    I know what you are saying is 100% right and it seems you’ve been called to deliver the message. That is absolutely wonderful for the world and incredibly challenging for you. I think I’ve been aware of this for about 50 years way back when I started reading books in the health food stores about raw food diets. There are lots of old books out there about natural healing through eating raw food and natural food but most people don’t see them although we are more aware now. We need you to continue making movies about this and all that goes along with it. It’s a noble pursuit and people are aware, but not committed and obviously not convinced. It’s when they get sick they are at greatest risk (and weaker in resolve) to make the right decision about drugs versus changing their diet. That’s when it would be great if their doctor told them to change their diet. Not all doctors are bad people and they are starting to make the connection between lifestyle including diet, stress, exercise etc. Even more interesting are the books on energy eating. Read Anastasia and The Ringing Cedars of Russia, and books on Sunlight energy and drinking water energized by sunlight. Thanks for all you are doing to correct our illness inducing diets and return us to healthy minds and bodies. Keep up the great work and I look forward to a movie on this topic. Regards, Mary

    Very Informative

    I read that a chemical used in research to induce diabetes in mice is also used to bleach white flour1

    this is a wonderful video. i wish people would know now how easy it is for people to live healthy and reduce the cost of health care.if only our health care plan would focus more on preventive medicine and health education, then it would be a win win situation for every body.

    Thank you Guys for coming together and sharing Truth…. you Guys Rock!

    WOW!!! That was great, thank you so much for this insightful information. There is so much truth to what you say, its just amazing. Thank you once again Mr, Spurlock.

    You speak the truth & hit the nail on the head. As the gov’t right down to the parenting there isn’t any one teaching responsibility for any aspect of their health from child hood up. They figure that is what Health care is for & we should be able to feed the body anything like a garbage can & ‘they’ will have a magic pill to cure the problem. It just does not work that way. People forget that garbage cans contents rot so what do they think happens in the digestive tract?? People are so removed from nature & how things work that they are sure everything has to be proven ‘scientifically’ & treated with a chemical pill of some sort or another. The media is our (as a whole) is the general publics’ worst enemy. So many say what I believe in is what the ‘Health Watch” says on the TV. I am a herbalist & study nutrition as well, & only help those who want to help themselves. Other wise it is a waste of my time & theirs. I am not a Med Dr. so they don’t know if they can believe what I believe in. What they do not know is that a Med DR. only spends less than a week on nutrition & the diet in their seven yrs or so of training. They are not educated in what sustains health — good health!! In a hugh amount of the dis-eases (a lot created from Meds) the body will heal itself when fed the correct diet. Even advanced cases with persistance will come around to good health again. It doesn’t happen overnite but over several months. After all it has taken how many years to get to the state that it is in, so 6mths to a yr is not that bad to see great results. Being dedicated & presistant with the diet change is what will bring about change.We are a result of what our body absorbs in our choices. Life is what we make it.

    This video confirms what I already know and believe. I have had stage four colon cancer since it was discovered in March of 2000. I KNOW I would not be alive today if I had not taken the radical step of enrolling in the Kushi Institute’s “Way to Health” week-long seminar with the practical advantage of being fed macrobiotic food all week long at the same time I was being taught how to prepare it. While I am still dealing with cancer, I am continuing to cook as much as I possibly can from scratch with whole organic foods as the basis of my diet and as little animal protein as I can manage. I have come through recent treatments with my energy intact and hopefully can stay on the positive side of cancer survival in spite of my medical history. If I do it will be thanks to what I’m eating as well as thanks to the wonderful people, doctors and family, who are my support system and want me well. I recommend the Kushi Institute for anyone who needs a crash course in changing his/her diet overnight. I also recommend the Vegetarian Health Institute for a more nuanced online experience in understanding this new way of eating and the reasons why it works. My favorite reads are T. Colin Campbell’s The China Study and Dr. David Servan-Schribner’s Anit-Cancer, A New Way of Life. Both confirm and support what was examined during the video plus adding other insights.

    ty for sharing and just being honest and up front about health care…..i am 28 days raw and yes it has been a struggle but this gave me encouagment to keep going for at least 60 days and i am grateful i have Dr that suggested 30 days raw……well i really want 120 but do 30 then 60 then 90 then 120 and instead of a pill…….. ty again i hope more people listen ….

    This just confirms what I have thought for a long time. That our health care system aids the big drug companies, not the people.

    We have the means to grow the greens to make the green smoothies from your own planters at home. We are the Australian green for life group. We are using and getting great results with orgenic, no spray mineral filled, live greens. Good eating to all raw food eaters in America.

    Awesome video–love the speaker–he talks from his heart,,I will be sharing this with others.keep up the great work

    Thank you Guys for coming together and sharing Truth…. you Guys Rock!

    its fanstic Morgan. I am going to try it.keep up the good work.Thanks once again

    I have type 2 diabetes along with hypothyroid, hypertension, high cholesterol, fibromyalgia and on antidepressants. I am 58 years old.
    I have taken an old approach to healing myself…no processed foods(as much as possible)including flour, rice., no sugar other than in fruits, lots of veggies & greens. I exercise, I meditate. And I’m doing OK. I would love to go further, I sometimes don’t know what to eat, I need ideas for variety.
    I liked you video and am wondering if you may have your promo later on as I cannot, at his time, afford the
    purchase. I am Italian and so for me it was basically a case of North American Italian culture vs my Italian discipline and determination. I’m winning, I’m doing good, but I would like to get off the meds. This past July my glucose level was at 31.1 I’m now between 5 and 7 before meals and max 10 after. I do hope you will bring out another special on your videos in the new year. Oh and I am not overweight really, never was by much, it’s not true that slender people can’t have diabetes.
    regards

    great movie,
    hope everyone going to watch it!!!!!I LOVE IT!!!

    Excellent, but you may be preaching to the choir. How do we get this out to a more general population?

    I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 10 years ago. Both my family doctor and the endocrinologist he referred me to said my condition was incurable. I would just have to take these expensive little pills the rest of my life. I didn’t believe that, but it took quite a few years to prove them wrong. It turns out that diabetes is just a form of food poisoning. Alloxan – the bleaching agent used for white bread – kills the beta cells in your pancreas. The good news is that if you stop eating the poison, your pancreas will eventually start building new beta cells. I no longer have diabetes. Please tell all your friends.
