I've been watching the documentary https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001B3XZAW/?tag=pfamazon01-20. It seems like quackery to me! It makes the very suspicious claim that eating a proper diet will not only prevent all illness but can cure all current illness. A proper diet is defined as: raw, organic, low sugar, low sodium, vegetarian.
Certainly it seems as a obvious statement that an improved diet will result in improved health, but their claim seems to go a bit overboard. They claimed to have cured cancer with http://www.nutritionaltherapy.com/" alone (100g of vitamin C). Also claimed to cure a persons depression with 11g of Niacin a day.
They also state that doctors receive almost no training in nutrition.
One of the main speakers is Charlotte Gerson from the http://www.gerson.org/". A well known institution with a gray reputation.
Are we too dependent on medications? Could we be doing more with food and supplements? What are your thoughts on the Gerson Method and Nutrition Therapy?
