We are what we eat, but are we what we think, feel and act...

I have been watching the most amazing Dvd over the past few days and it has really got me thinking...the Dvd is called Food s Medicine and it is about an American man called Jerry Brunetti. It is not an unusual scenario... he developed cancer and was given 6 months to live if he didn't undergo 30 aggressive cemotherapy treatments, he chose to fight the cancer nutrionally and completely rid himself of the cancer. It wasn't the information on nutrition and the benefits of certain foods that blew me away but more his attitude to the world, our bodies and our the western approach to medicine... this man just makes so much sense! His background was in natural treatments and supplements in agricultural and lifestyle management, so he did have a headsup when he questioned the doctors about the type of chemicals they would giving him during the chemo..truly disturbing...but Brunetti's min point I think is that we are too eager to give away our power when it comes to modern medicine rarely question a doctor's advice or asessing what we put into our bodies and expect to get out of them. Do we just expect someone else to fix things for us or do we really beleive doctor's are gods and have all the answers? Nothing that Jerry says is really that new to me, but he encapsulated it so well, even those of us who are fairly aware can become complacent sometimes...
Lets not...Let's support awareness about good food and good living for ourselves and others out there doing the same
