I have to agree, food does affect your body's condition. There have been multiple studies that show that diet and overall health are directly correlated. The food that one consumes has multiple components that may or may not affect you in a negative way. Food is everything; your energy source, your health, etc.

I agree with you because food plays a big role in our life.the saying " we are what we eat." Is not only true but it complies with a lot of factors and if we eat good, healthy, natural foods we will have more energy, more active and engaged in numerous of projects. Food Is not only good for us we need it, for a healthier life style.

I agree with that statement Trevon however ,to further elaborate on the video I agree with the overall idea as well. Healthy food provide vitamins and minerals that create comfort and energy for our bodies. Certain foods such as tomatoes, grapefruit, kale, and broccoli prevent cancer and having a balanced diet prevents diabetes through out the video the food listed is not common and not very appealing, however, they help us stay healthy and live longer.

I fully agree that whole, organic foods and juices can heal terminal illnesses. The information presented to me in this video seems liable and I am able to do further research to my personal needs. I take this position because I have seen first hand how a change in diet can affect a person in a positive way. Additionally, I have realized that the pharmaceutical industry is heavily based off of propaganda and therefore makes me skeptical as to what I am in taking. There is always one way to approach problems and the fact that so many Americans are restrained from this information is sad. Furthermore, knowing that the information is restrained makes me further believe that there is something the pharmaceutical industry is hiding from the public.

I like your comment, the idea of using natural medicine and that traditional medicine is surrounded by propaganda is interesting. I see traditional medicine as a way for people to feel more secure because it comes from a medical place. The natural side of medicine can really help in the long run.

Ms.Dawson I very much agree with your statement and the fact that you mentioned how pharmaceutical industries raise questions in consumers. Consumers begin to wonder the trustworthiness of professionals whom our lives so heavily depend on now more than ever.

I agree with the video revealing about how healthy foods can heal the body and that the abundance of natural treatment is a good alternative to other traditional medicine. I chose to agree because many medicines in the medical world have bad side effects and can really do more harm than healing due to the substances inside of it. A more natural take on healing is not only healthy for you but for your mind too, as when people tend to use natural or nature's healing powers it feels more organic and real. Another good thing i found in the video was that the natural juice is a good way for a person to maintain their body hydration system while staying healthy. The connection i felt to the natural state of using more of nature's healing powers has changed my view on using medicine, but not completely because still feel as if some medicine needs other medical substances. The video did help me see that using natural medicine is overall more better for the body.

I agree with this video ,healthy can heal the body. And it can be better than the medication we get when we go to the doctor . I agree because the medication we get from the doctor sometimes add more problems to the illness we already have. Letting your body heal by it self is much better because don't have to worry about anything else after you are better

J.grant

3/2/2017 10:47:08 am

I agree with your comment because the ways to keep your body together depends on what you eat . If you eat poor you get poor results and side effects. That why i agree because healthy can heal your body .and medication from doctors can also kill you because its not natural product. Thats why its important to eat healthy

Healthy food cannot heal terminal illness.Healthy food is good for your body but has nothing to do with a illness

J. Vela

3/2/2017 07:36:54 pm

Considering that many of today's medicines were developed based on the chemical structuring of various fruits and vegetables, healthy food does have a lot to do with our bodies. The simple fact that humanity has walked the earth this long proves it! How do you think people before the Neolithic revolution fought the common cold? In third world countries, why are impoverished people surviving with only a simple soup while those of us living in developed nations die after fighting against our health care systems for years?

I don't agree with that ...healthy food can heal illness and it can do a lot more things for your body etc..people doesn't do enough research if they have any illness problems of eating healthy.

J.Bonilla - 1st

3/5/2017 01:44:34 pm

An illness is more likely to be cured by what these organic foods contain. Now a days, more people are seeking medical attention because of their bad eating habits. Medical help is trying to imitate what these remedies have but price it higher because, "if its more expensive it must be better correct?".

J.Grant

3/2/2017 10:42:59 am

I agree with the whole video because eating healthy, make your body stronger and you live longer .I also agree because the medication we get from the doctor sometimes add more problems to the illness we already have. Food is everything; your energy source, your health, etc. the way you eat is determines your life . Also doing the research scientist has did research on different food you are supposed to eat , but its up to you to live right .

J. Wegscheider 1st

3/4/2017 12:39:56 pm

I do agree that is is entirely up to the person to live a healthy lifestyle. Food is imperative for all living things to strive and be healthy in all environments. Medications we get from doctors are often just given to make the person think they their health is improving, but in true reality, it may not be.

If people choose to take eat cheap junk food instead of “overly-priced” fruits and vegetables, they should also prefer nature’s harvest instead of excruciatingly costly artificial medicine. Documentaries like Steve Kroschel’s “Dying to Have Known” are renowned for advertising the cheaper yet more valuable solution to our horrible health crisis. As time passes, more people are dying from terminal diseases, and the probability that a new medicine will be developed drops. Regardless of this fact, I have always enjoyed eating apples and broccoli more than pizza and chips. However, in many regions around the world, fruits are no longer falling. Even in certain cultures like Mexico’s that values the nearness of a fruit tree to a home, organic foods are seen more as decoration than as food. I have always loved eating healthy! I simply assumed that if my relatives were perishing and ingesting anything, including medicine, other than fruits and veggies, then I should just do the opposite. I may have never seen fruit save a life, but that doesn’t mean that a life’s worth of organic foods accomplish it.

Organic Foods Have Really Changed and shaped the good game. More and more people are switching to organic food groceries to help with their health situations. There are many promblems in regular food, but with organic food it is many pros for the food source. Less calories and a smoother digestive way of going about the food.

E.Valdez- 4th period

3/3/2017 07:20:35 pm

Organic foods and juices can heal terminal illnesses even when pharmaceutical and scientific experts say otherwise. The video informed the public the power of what natural products can do to the body. Scientific experts only mention what they think is beneficial without even mentioning what antibiotics and other manufactured products are doing. I believe that organic foods and juices do have the potential to heal someone's health because of the history behind it. For instance, for many years natural herbs and remedies have played a major role in healing discomforts. It was only because the pharmaceutical industry provided fast solutions that people became ignorant about natural products. In addition, it is unethical not to share information about natural products that have saved many people because of the benefit of pharmaceutical industries.

Organic foods may have higher nutritional value than conventional food. The reason: In the absence of pesticides and fertilizers, plants boost their production of the phytochemicals for example vitamins and antioxidants that strengthen their resistance to bugs and weeds. Eating organic food actually do helps with your illness. People just have to do their research on things about their illness with health food because unhealthy food not gone do no good but make it more worst. Now days nobody doesn't really know what their eating in these restaurants etc.. that's why it pays to be careful of what you eat.

B.Criss 1

3/3/2017 10:27:11 pm

I have to agree with the video why would people take made up stuff instead of just turning to what they started with? All the nutrients needed to get better and stay healthy are found in fruits and vegetables. Your food diet should consist of them anyway these vitamin filled are what keeps us going. They also help us with everyday problems and prevent news one from happening such as carrots you are suppose to eat carrots to keep good eyesight and pineapple to get rid of headaches. If not dying means eating less meat and more fruits and vegetables I'm all for it.

J.Nelson

3/3/2017 10:44:58 pm

I agree because organic food is food that has been grown or processed without synthetic pesticides, chemical fertilizers, irradiation, industrial solvents, or chemical food additives. And believe it or not the food we eat effects our brains and the way we think and operate

A.dewberry 4th

3/3/2017 11:24:49 pm

I agree with this statement because what we eat does have an effect on our Brains and most food in grocery store have been processed with chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Another thing I learned from this videos is that the food industry does not look for what is best for the consumer but what is best for there company and their money. Now we had consumers have to be cautions about what we are buying and making sure we read as we shop.

A.Dewberry 4th

3/3/2017 11:18:21 pm

I agree with the information in the video about how healthy foods could cleanse your system. The strategic method of the vegetables you put together can cause a greater outcome than just through fruits and vegetables together. Where we buy our food products from is very important as well. Since the ground has become a determining factor to how healthy we are and if our good is truly organic or not test are constantly being ran. A lot of groups would be ignored in industrial businesses because industrial businesses were looking for what would sell best. Many of the items that sale best, the public is unaware of what is actually in and on that fruit. The public is mostly ignorant to the fact that US soil were industrial crops are grown have been tampered or contaminated with in some way or from. But if you have the right combination of your fruits and vegetables and living with awareness than you could be cured of illnesses. I take this position because after watching these series of food health videos I have gained more knowledge and I am less ignorant to what is happening to the food before it enters the grocery store.

J. Wegscheider 1st

I agree with the video discussing the fact that healthy, organic foods can help heal the human body of illnesses and diseases. The body has its own healing mechanisms, but at times it needs assistance in recovering and fighting certain illnesses. I believe that chemotherapy only works to a certain extent, and it is still up to the body to fully recover or not. A healthy diet and proper care of the body should do the trick as far as healing and possibly preventing hereditary diseases that have been around for several generations. As discussed in the documentary, some people do not even have cancer, or if they do it is not very life-threatening. A lot of times these cases can be treated by the method mentioned, and often times medications and chemotherapy are not needed because of a possible misdiagnosis.

J.Green

I agree certain foods that you eat does affect your body, based on if they are healthy or unhealthy. Organic foods are probably the best food you can eat because they are healthy and they do not have any chemicals on them or in them.

The American government has a habit of hiding the truth because they feel like they can control and manipulate people. There are many healthy cures that are inexpensive and can be obtained easily, but because it is convenient for a vast majority of people the truth is hidden from everyone. For example the Gerson’s treatment was said to cure by hundreds of people yet doctors did not want their patients to take that treatment. These doctors would implement ideas in their heads trying to scare them into getting chemotherapy instead of getting treatment naturally. The statistics were there, and those patients doing what they thought was right were brought down, told they were “foolish”, and that they were basically becoming “suicidal”. Before such medicines were created natural home remedies were used, there were many cures and more people had a healthier life. Organic foods can help end terminal illnesses faster and more efficient, rather than man made procedures. Like stated in the video the illness rate is going now a days, but why would that be an issue if there are many sources of antibiotics? Antioxidants are used to help maintain the body healthy; plants are the only substance that can produce such chemicals. Doctors may try to replicate it, but it can never compare to the original product.

I agree with what you say about the government because it is true. They harm more than they help and the government is only here to take advantage of the ill and their money. They take as much as they can

M.Rowe 3rd

I agree that organic juices in a way does heal terminal illness. There are many ways that can cure, or at least contain these diseases. I think healthy foods can go a long way into helping people sustain better lifestyles and maybe even a long lasting one.

M. Rodriguez

3/5/2017 06:35:20 pm

I agree with the information provided in the video as to how an organic whole food and juice diet can heal terminal illnesses. Even though I would like to be able to see it happen first hand, I completely believe that just by changing your diet, it can be life changing. The way I see it is that the major pharmaceutical companies only feed you medicine or harmful treatments to keep people down and to collect their money. A organic whole food diet can turn your whole life around and with all these testimonies about how the Gerson therapy I don’t understand how people are still skeptics. They are living proof that the treatment works, and i personally believe that if you have nothing else left to lose, why not try?

S.Moncivais 1st

3/5/2017 10:19:17 pm

I agree with you Ms.Rodriguez, I would like to see that happen in fist hand too because it will make me realize that it possible and i could tell the world that is true. Also the way that people give their testimony saying that they need more prove about what happens make me thinks that they are not open minded and everything is possible in this world.

S.Moncivais 1st

3/5/2017 10:09:36 pm

I agree with the information provided in this video that whole organic foods and juices can heal terminal illnesses. The way they talk about Gerson’s treatment, and how it cured many people when he was in Germany and after he came to U.S. is believable because having a healthy diet when you sick help you be more alive in some way. The reason why I take this position is because the information provided seems liable. Having a healthy diet change your life in many ways, you will be able to live longer because you won't have a disease caused by a bad alimentation or fast food. If you have a disease like cancer you can go to the doctor how will tell you that you need therapy and that will be expensive and you may not be able to pay it all. Gerson’s treatment can be an options for you and it won't be so expensive, that can give you a healthy life. Also knowing now this information it gives the people more options to know what to do when they are sick or someone close is.

K. Maple 4th

3/5/2017 11:55:54 pm

I also think that the information is liable. And you mentioned that doctors and treatments are expensive. Maybe we are taught that this is the best way as a way for the government to control the economy.

D,Moseley-1st pd

3/5/2017 11:25:49 pm

I agree with the information in the video because the government does tend to be secretive when it comes to anything dealing with health/healthcare. Organic foods are the food for the soul in which we can sustain our life. Terminal illnesses usually come from when our intake is bad whether it's food wise or medicine wise. With more organic choices, we could avoid those types of problems as well aiding those small curable problems as well. I believe personally by just changing your diet to better choices, it could save your life. I have even witnessed first hand that eating better will make you feel and look better inside and out.

K. Maple 4th

3/5/2017 11:54:17 pm

Eating certain healthy foods most definitely a factor in a person's bodily health. I stand behind the information in the video mostly because I have seen the same things happen in front of me. My father never takes medicine or goes to the doctor. One year he was becoming extremely ill with a severe cold and my grandmother made him some sort of concoction of herbs and fruit. He immediately began to get better. Because of this I know that certain foods can heal your body better than medicines or doctors.
