"Bring the power of plants to your body"This is a quote from the documentary that I just watched, The Beautiful Truth, and what this documentary portrays it is truly a beautiful truth. It came out in 2008 and portrays the vital importance of eating natural foods and taking care of your health. It claims that using the Gerson therapy may help prevent and miraculously cure cancer. After doing more research on this Gerson therapy, however, I am not so sure that it cures cancer as successfully as it seems to portray in the documentary. Of course, most documentaries one-sided, as information is left out and bias is an influencing factor. I do know, however, that eating a plant based diet IS great for your health and eating processed food does contribute to the many health problems in the world.
Here is a synopsis: "This documentary follows the journey of Garrett Kroschel, an animal-loving teenager raised in Alaska who, after reading a book by Dr. Max Gerson, is inspired to investigate its premise that diet can cure cancer and other diseases. Garrett travels across the country, visiting with physicians, scientists and cancer survivors to discuss Gerson Therapy -- and Gerson's claim that the medical industry has suppressed natural cancer cures for years."

I highly recommend watching the documentary. I certainly know that I will be changing my health habits and become even more conscious of what I am putting into and onto my body.
