The other day I watched an awesome documentary called “The Beautiful Truth”. The film follows a 15 year old kid whose mother has just passed and eventually finds his life going in a downward spiral. After flunking out of school, his father decides for his son to be home schooled. His first assignment was to research a controversial book called “A Cancer Therapy” by Max Gerson published in 1958. The book covers over 50 different case studies of terminally ill cancer patients that were all cured by diet alone.  Wondering why he and the modern world were unaware of this information, the boy began to do his research. The documentary follows this kid and his journey in his pursuit for the truth as he interviews cancer survivors and thoroughly researches the subject.
This documentary got me thinking, “how come I’ve never heard of this type of treatment.” Since the book was published, thousands of more patients have been cured by the Gerson therapy. I think that’s evidence alone that there are alternative ways to go about things to be healthy. Obviously preventative health care is the easiest way. Simply by eating right, and exercising, one can stay healthy and disease free. But eating healthy has been difficult do to genetically modified food which is sold to us, fed to the livestock which they feed on and we end up eating. There even teaching fish to eat corn now! (If your oblivious to this info watch the documentary Food inc. )
I wish I was like all the other skeptics, and I also believed that the medical and food industries in the world were filled with honest people. Unfortunately, after continuous inhumane behavior by the big corporations as of lately, I have grown more and more weary of such honesty.  I think when it comes down to it, the medical and food industries in the United States are profiting industries. The more sick people there are to take care of, the more profits there are for the multibillion dollar medical and pharmaceutical corporations.
I encourage everyone to watch this documentary and decide for yourself what to believe in. Are we being mislead? Basically is the question. I think it’s evident, that the majority of Americans are not healthy. The less healthy you are, the harder it is for the brain to function optimally, therefore making the general public dumb. There are toxins in our food, in our air, and in our water. What are we to do?
