What the Health (2017)
Brilliant, Courageous and a Revelation
A followup to their game-changing documentary, "Cowspiracy: The Sustainabiliy Solution," the long awaited "What the Health" tackles yet another aspect of our cultural addiction to an excess of meat, dairy, eggs and other animal derived foods: their impact on our health and the willful neglect of our for-profit health care industry to make it more clear that eating lower on the food chain and minimizing or eliminating processed foods makes a huge difference in the many chronic diseases now epidemic in modern societies. Unfortunately, most doctors know less about nutrition than many of their patients, due to its woefully truncated role in medical training. But those who have bucked the trend, including doctors in this film such as John McDougall, MIchael Greger, Garth Davis, Milton Mills and many others, have found the key to truly curing their patients, not just suppressing symptoms with expensive and profitable drugs and surgeries.
Some 35 people from our potluck group crowded into our house to watch this one shortly after its release.It's a film whose time has come, and if you haven't seen it yet, now is the time to do so. Also, please, be mindful that this is a big game with much at stake and there are trolls afoot seeking to undermine the ratings and credibility of this film and others like it.
Wake Up (2010)
Fascinating, touching
I really liked this documentary and plan to watch it again shortly with my husband. It is a refreshing look at a courageous man grappling to come to terms with unusual abilities that come to him. Other reviewers doubt the authenticity of his experience. That did not occur to me, honestly. It seemed believable, and, yes, it would have been nice to have more explanation. But what I got was that there really was no explanation, and that is a fact of life, that it's full of mysteries. Mostly, however, it's a journey from a fundamentalist Christian origin to a journey of open spiritual exploration and the realization that we are evolving to a world where spirituality transcends religion.
