“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.

“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 curing disease naturally.

If we can help people become more aware of the choices available to them, they can start to reduce their reliance on the ‘sickness industry’. It’s about education not medication

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.

“We need to get this message out there. It will change people’s lives,” says Laurentine.

The documentary film comes at an appropriate time where health care is high on the agenda in many industrial nations. As the US approaches elections, major health care reform is a hotly contended issue. The American health care system has received a great deal of scrutiny after Michael Moore’s exposé, Sicko, in which he voices the views of around 50 million Americans who don’t have access to health care insurance. But will giving people access to a system that is already in crisis solve the problem?

This is exactly what film makers James and Laurentine bring to light in this new film. “If we can help people become more aware of the choices available to them, they can start to reduce their reliance on the ‘sickness industry’. It’s about education not medication,” says James, “with access to solid information, people invariably make good choices for their health.”

In a departure from traditional distribution models, the film will be made available to viewers all over the world, using streaming technology provider Vividas, on a pay-per-view model. Using this cutting edge solution, the film will be accessible to an unlimited number of simultaneous viewers at exceptional quality. This same technology helped the producers of the 90-minute feature film The Secret expand their exposure worldwide contributing to their enormous international success.

“The internet is a ready and accessible medium for us,” says James. “People all over the world are able to receive this message and apply it to their own lives immediately.”

The production has remained independently funded from start to finish. “We wanted to remain as unbiased as possible in the way that we presented this information to the public,” says James, “especially on such a sensitive topic.”

This has also been part of what has attracted others to the project with the team having recently joined up with the acclaimed Australian Triple Platinum ‘John Butler Trio’ who will be contributing music for the film. “We’ve been extremely fortunate to have John Butler on board; it will go a long way to help get the message out there,” says Laurentine.

Here is my analysis and cure protocol for my grandma’s current sick condition.  I stress that my grandmother is sick, not old.  She is sick because bad habits have caught on with her, not age.

My grandmother is a self drugging, drug junkie.  She accumulates prescriptions and never sees an end to each drug and drinks one on top of the other making absolutely no sense at all.  She believes in television and all the lies of their drug commercials and junk food commercials and unhealth stupidities.  She keeps her rubbing alcohol, her advil, her vicks, her salonpas, her or creams and lotions and petroleum jelly, and her drug laxatives that don’t work.  She is addicted to biscuits.  I told her they cause constipation, yet she eats one in front of me.  She is addicted to chocolates and offers chocolates to my children.  She likes imported, pesticide ridden foreign imported grapes and shuns local in season the most nutritious native guavas.  She is a carb junkie always on rice and biscuits so she suffers from blood sugar spikes up and downs throughout the day and night, just like any carb based junkie.  She is continuously constipated because of her drugs and because she is not the water drinking type.  When she runs out of coconuts, she does not go out of her way to buy more coconuts.  Coconuts are the only good hydrated food for her.

My grandmother is so very afraid of the discomfort of cayenne, with that being her only hope of improving circulation and the hope of making her walk again, she refuses to take even one drop of cayenne tincture.  As Dr. Schulze says, if a person thinks cayenne is to hot and refuses, then let him be sick and die, it’s his choice.

A week ago my grandmother suffered from constipation.  Suffered for 6 days.  She didn’t call me.  She was too proud and depended on the new drugs her doctor gave her.  Ha and double ha.  Drug laxatives are idiotically weak and ineffective.  My grandmother’s sister was threatening to rush her to the hospital if she hadn’t pooped yet.  What was ridiculous is I gave her a batch of Barefoot Herbalist MH’s LBB capsules and it worked in the past beautifully for her at 8 to 10 capsules dose a day.  But she forgot about it.  She also had virgin coconut oil in her room that I gave, but she forgot about it.  And the sure fire way she used to call me for emergencies was Dr. Tam’s Miracle tea, but she forgot about it.  Yes, she has gone back to being drugged again and is now forgetful once more.

Being drugged is not funny.  You lose your personality, your intelligence.  You are dumbed down and unhealthy.

I visited my grandmother last Saturday afternoon and spent a good deal explaining to her what I thought her problems were and how to cure them.

#1 Low Magnesium, as analyzed in the Heart Center emergency room with the ER doctor explaining to my grandmother why she wasn’t given any drugs when my grandmother demanded drugs:  The ER doctor said, “You don’t need any drugs,  you need magnesium.”

solution: green supplements and green leafy vegetables.  My grandmother flat out refused green supplements I gave her.  I brought her green leafy vegetables.  But she doesn’t eat raw vegetables.  So since she will be eating cooked vegetables, there is little usable magnesium there.

#2 Cannot Walk, Cannot Stand.  this is a problem of blood circulation and low magnesium.  Poor blood circulation can be remedied by dipping legs in hot, then cold water back and forth.  Then supplementing with cayenne tincture several times a day everyday as instructed by Dr. Schulze.  I have cayenne tincture.  I gave her 2 small bottles of the cayenne tincture I made which is a big hit in our household, with my in-laws and with my employees.  But my grandmother refuses to take even one drop because she dislikes hot cayenne period.

#3 Aorta Calcified, atherosclerosis, as diagnosed on the 2D echo.  This is caused by vitamin C deficiency and other vitamin deficiencies and the eating of inflammation causing foods such as nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, bell pepper, egg plants), grains (corn, wheat, etc.) and beans.  And not eating enough animal or plant fats.  And the ingestion of cooking oils like “vegetable” oils, canola oils, corn oils which are all inflammation causing.  And she has to give up all forms of frying for her food.  The solution really is a raw paleolithic diet, high fat / low carb in the homo optimus diet proportions of 1 part protein, 3 parts fat, and 0.8 parts carbs.  My grandmother won’t do that, she is so cholesterol myth stupefied and too inflexible with diet at her age. I supplement and delivered to her native guavas and native indian green mangoes.  The native guavas she initially refused because she says her false teeth have problems with them.  I told her native guavas were the best in vitamin C, bar none,  I don’t really know how much she ate of it.

#4 Constipation.  Is caused by her drugs.  When she was off the drugs, she had zero constipation.  Now that she is back on drugs she is constipated.  Oh, so obvious.  But since she worships drugs, she will have to live with constipation.  The constant use of laxatives depletes magnesium and we refer you back to problem #1, low magnesium.

So this is a no win situation folks.  A sick person you cannot teach and won’t learn because she’s too pig headed, and on drugs.

I wrote down my analysis and my solutions to her problem.  She won’t do cayenne period.  Good luck 83 year old young grandma.  My 98 year old grandfather on my father’s side on the other hand took in loads of cayenne tincture when he was dying of pneumonia and couldn’t breath.  Why?  He wanted to live.  He wanted to get well.  And he did.

And what of the drugs my grandma is taking?  They prevent her heart from pumping enough blood so she can have better circulation to allow her to walk.   They cause constipation which poisons my grandmother, death from your own stuck poop.  Drugs cause constipation in your veins and blood vessels.  But she’s happy with the drugs.  She believes in drugs.  But those drugs will never let her walk again.  Not in her wildest dreams.

Me, I will just try in vain to shove some cayenne tincture in front of her face hoping one day she will take it.
