If you are up for some great topics to get your mind moving, give this film some time. You'll be challenged in your thoughts and actions regarding diet, supplements, toxicity, politics, education, medicine, and even theology. While I can confidently say that I do not support or agree with many of the claims, and even more so, the underlining worldview that this film is based on, I am motivated to research more and make changes.
A few things I am now wanting to give time for study:
Increasing our whole foods diet to include a larger percentage of raw foods.
Learn more about juicing. (ACK! I SO do NOT want to go there.)
Increase our supply of vitamins and supplements.
Find a reliable source for those vitamins & supplements.
Research and find reliable tools for healthy cleansing of our bodies.
The issue I always run in to regarding all of this controversy surrounding nutrition and medicine is the difficulty in finding trustworthy sources. On either side of the issue someone stands to gain in some way. Therefore, I find it almost paralyzing, knowing how to move forward.
For now, the best option is to give this serious prayer and study in God's word. That is our only, true and reliable source. From there, I will weigh my research against His truths and act accordingly.
I know that He has given us a powerful tool in our bodies. It is strengthened when it is fed according to its original design. So, I can assuredly move forward with increasing our fruits, vegetables, and vitamins as I learn and pray through the rest.
Great stuff. I'm grateful for the freedom and access to the wealth of information out there.
Hi, Tracy! Yes, I find it hard, too, to find RELIABLE stuff out there. I hope you won't mind me sharing a couple websites with you. You had mentioned more *raw food*. This woman is a Christian raw food eater. While I do NOT eat this way, her website has some great stuff in it. She also usually lives in an RV! :o) Okay, here's her foodie website:

She doesn't update it too often but she has lots of good info on it, including lots of green smoothie recipes and juicing stuff, too!
One more website. This woman has 6 kids and is very into healthy eating. Her blog is not exclusively about health, but if you search under her topics, you will find a TON of good stuff!
Okay, that's all for now! :o) I hope you don't mind me sharing. I have found those 2 websites extremely helpful in my health journey. I'm on temporary hold right now as we're fostering a darling 11 week old boy for a week - and I'm TIRED!! :o) Keep going, Tracy!!
