Additional InformationDocumentary filmmaker Lee Fulkerson explores the possibility that so-called 'diseases of affluence', such as heart disease, can be reversed by simply adjusting our diets to include less processed and animal-based foods. Back in the 1960s, Cornell University nutritional scientist Dr. T. Colin Campbell was working to find a way to feed the citizens of impoverished Third World nations when a trip to the Philippines forever changed the way he thought about food consumption. There, he discovered that the rates of liver cancer among affluent children who subsisted on diets rich in animal-based foods were notably higher than in children consuming plant-based diets. Meanwhile, surgeon Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, head of the Breast Cancer Task Force at Cleveland Clinic, was also discovering that many of the diseases he was seeing in patients were practically nonexistent in areas of the world where people were primarily consuming plant foods. Several subsequent investigations by the researchers, including a groundbreaking study in China by Dr. Campbell, led them to the revelation that a whole-food, plant-based diet could prevent, and even reverse, such degenerative conditions as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and some forms of cancer. In this film, Fulkerson examines Dr. Campbell's and Dr. Esselstyn's theories by following the two doctors' individual, yet very similar, story arcs, from their farm-based upbringings to their astounding discoveries. The film also records the experiences of a group of patients suffering from chronic maladies as they participate in an experiment in which their diets are substantially altered and wholesome, plant-based food is, essentially, used as medicine.

  • A must watch!

    An excellent DVD, that shows a clear relation between food and health. As much as animal welfare is a priority to me, this DVD does not really delve to deeply into that area, it is mainly a health issue. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to live a healthy life, or wants to improve their health. Lots of useful information and research, a good DVD to help people eat healthily and aim for a vegan diet

  • Watch this film and save your life!

    Everyone should see this film. It is absolutely life-changing and it is true what it says on the cover, that it could literally save your life. It is considered to be a foundational documentary in the whole-foods plant-based movement. Very highly recommended.

    A very interesting and thought provoking DVD. The facts and research in this film seem to speak for themselves. I liked the information relating to eating habits before and after the war and the effect on cancer statistics. I enjoyed the DVD and will certainly watch it more than the once.
