“Real N’ Raw” is a solutions based feature film about reclaiming our health and well-being. The Director, Matthew Wilson was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis at age 5 after being symptomatic for two years. At age 12, he was told if he did not have his bowel removed and replaced with a colostomy bag he would have cancer by age 19 and not live to see 30. Today he is 35 and is a picture of health. This is a story that gives hope to us in understanding that disease is not a mystery. Health is here if you want it.

The films includes interviews with some of the leading lights of the raw food movement including David Wolfe, Mike Adams and Juliano.

If you enjoy the film, consider purchasing a copy for yourself or as a gift to anyone you know who has a health challenge or perhaps you might consider having a local screening for friends or the community. Profits go to the trust: Food for Our Children.

Comfort foods may not be all that comforting, it turns out. Although researchers have looked at the link between certain nutrients and depression, not many have studied the connection between overall diet and depression. Until now. A new study in the The British Journal of Psychiatry found that people who eat more whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables and fish, are less likely to be depressed later on. But those who eat a lot of processed meat, chocolate, sweetened desserts, fried foods, refined cereals and high fat dairy products have a higher risk for depression.

Why?

The researchers suggest several mood-boosting possibilities: the high folate content in certain cruciferous vegetables, leafy greens and legumes; the high omega-3 fatty acid content in fish; the high antioxidant content in fruits; or all of the above (i.e., the foods and nutrients work in combination).

What’s clear: Sales of many natural ingredients for an enhanced psyche have risen over the past year even as consumers pinched pennies during the worst recession in 60 years—or perhaps because of it. Some popular ones, like fish oil, 5-HTP, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and S-Adenosyl methionine (SAM-e) got a boost upwards of 15 percent in the conventional channel, according to SPINS, a Schaumburg, Ill.-based market research company.

Mine is an 11 on a 10 scale

(NaturalNews) If you talk to many people about health, medications, toxic chemicals and food, you’ll quickly come to realize that most people have very little knowledge of reality in these areas. And yet, ignorance is often bliss because these people can just wolf down a cheeseburger, get vaccine shots, drink fluoridated water and take all sorts of toxic chemical medications without even a hint of concern (that is, until a few years later when all the toxic build-up starts to kill them).

So as a public service to those individuals who might want to rid their minds of any knowledge of true health and live their lives as members of the ignorant masses (a la being “plugged back into the Matrix”), I’ve put together a mind wiping recipe that you can freely use to join the ranks of all the doctors, journalists, politicians and consumers who think there’s nothing wrong with exposing yourself to an unlimited number of toxic chemicals from multiple sources.

Just follow these simple directions and your mind will be wiped clean in no time:

Step 1:
Stand in front of a mirror, with your hands placed calmly at your side.

Step 2:
Look into the reflection and focus on your own eyes. Take three deep breaths to eliminate any tension.

Step 3:
Repeat the following mantras three times each:

“America has the best health care in the world.”

“The FDA is my friend.”

“Synthetic chemicals are good for me.”

“Pharmaceuticals are priced in a fair way that helps drug companies afford to find new cures.”

“Food comes from factories, not dirt.”

“Food and drug corporations are looking out for my best interests.”

“Vaccines protect me from evil germs.”
