Forks Over Knives - Warning! This movie could save your life

Documentaries like Forks Over Knives are rarely shown in the movie theatres in Sweden unfortunately, but this one should not be missed and it will come out on DVD shortly. Forks Over Knives examines the topic about diseases being controlled and reversed by changing our diets. The movie follows two researchers; Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn as they present facts how a bad diet and how animal-based foods affect our health. I find it quite funny that some non-believers just dismiss the documentary as "vegan propaganda" and I don't think you'll see a single pair of Birkenstocks in this movie, just a lot of facts that speak for themselves.



For most of you, there's no secret that fast-food and a all-out bad diet affect our health. In the US, this generation is the first to be stand a chance of being outlived by its parents. Scary, right? Obviously for the "sickness industry" this is great as "good health makes a lot of sense, but not a lot of $$$".

Yes, there are as always two sides of the story but as my plant-based diet completely changed my health, stress tolerance level, temper (I had a very short fuse before changing diets) and made me an even happier person I let the results of change speak for itself.

I can't wait for this movie to get available on DVD as I am confident it will knock most people of their feets. At least those with an open mind to change their lives to the better.

Bee Pollen - Don't let it vanish

Vanishing Of The Bees is the title of a 2010 documentary by George Langworthy and Maryam Henain. Until I saw the movie, I was unaware how big importance the Bees have to us all, regardless if you are on a plant-based diet or not. The DVD can be purchased through the website and is worth every penny.


Bee Pollen is an absolutely amazing Superfood and is a great source of vitamin B12. "Wait a minute! Did you say vitamin B12? Isn't that only available in meat?" No, it's not. It's available in Bee Pollen, Spirulina and other great superfoods. In fact, Bee Pollen has five to seven times more protein than beef. It is also a natural antidote for fighting allergies such as hayfever which is very common in Sweden during the spring and also sinusitus, which I get quite often. On top of that, it also works anti-aging and increases mental and physical capabilities.

By protecting our Bees, which are in great danger of being extinct, we can grow and get this awesome superfood. I order mine through Raw Food Shop in Sweden.

Good health makes a lot of sense, but it doesn't make a lot of $$$

We call it the sickness industry, because you know what? Big pharmaceutical companies makes more money off you sick than healthy - plain and simple. Makes sense doesn't it? Diabetes, (Gl)Obesity and Cancer is one of the best factors to a booming economy. Andrew W. Saul, Ph.D. says in the movie "One quarter of what you eat keeps you alive. Three quarters of what you eat keeps your doctor alive." While this might not be the case here in Sweden, it's a very disturbing thought (or fact).

I watched the documentary Foodmatters about a year ago and it super-interesting and thought provoking that I'd like to call it a must-see for everyone regardless what or how you eat. Here's the trailer for this awesome documentary.
