FORKS OVER KNIVES examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting animal-based and processed foods.

The major storyline traces the personal journeys of Dr. T. Colin Campbell, a nutritional biochemist from Cornell University, and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, a former top surgeon at the world renowned Cleveland Clinic. Inspired by remarkable discoveries they made, these men conducted several groundbreaking studies. Their separate research led them to the same startling conclusion: degenerative diseases like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and even several forms of cancer, could almost always be prevented – and in many cases reversed – by adopting a whole foods, plant-based diet.

The idea of food as medicine is put to the test. Cameras follow “reality patients” who have chronic conditions from heart disease to diabetes. Doctors teach these patients how to adopt a whole foods plant-based diet as the primary approach to treat their ailments – while the challenges and triumphs of their journeys are revealed.

The film features leading experts on health and tackles the issue of diet and disease in a way that will have people talking for years.

If you can’t eat it don’t put it on your skin

Human skin, the body’s largest organ, has the remarkable ability to absorb applied products either partially or completely into the bloodstream. In fact, about 60% of the products we use on our skin are absorbed and deposited into the circulatory system. An average woman absorbs about 30 pounds of these ingredients contained in just the moisturizers used over the course of a lifetime. Many of the preservatives and chemicals used in topical skin care products are potentially carcinogenic or hormone altering. More importantly the safety of which have been never tested to assess long-term health risks. Among the most concerning of ingredients are the parabens, titanium oxides, sodium lauryl sulphates, and petroleums. Parabens were recently shown in the Journal of Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology to have estrogenic activity that would have subsequent effects on the human endocrine system. This should be of obvious concern for women at risk for breast cancer. Another study done in the UK on the hormonal effects of parabens illustrated how the subcutaneous administration of butylparabens had a positive estrogenic response on uterine tissue. Imagine how much potential hormonal disruption occurs over a lifetime of just paraben consumption from all the different avenues (lotions, creams, cleansers, toners, shampoo, conditioners, oils, etc.). Another common ingredient is titanium dioxide, a chemical that is contained in many “natural” sunscreens, lotions and shampoos. This metal has been implicated as a potential problem in humans because of its ability to cause DNA damage in healthy human cells, meaning it can be potentially carcinogenic. This has been documented in numerous studies from various agencies around the world.

What is Ozone?

Ozone is a chemical compound consisting of three oxygen atoms O3 (i.e. triatomic oxygen), a highly energetic form of normal (diatomic) atmospheric oxygen (O2). Due to it being an extremely powerful oxidizing agent and a highly effective disinfectant, it is used throughout the world to destroy germs in water treatment installations supplying drinking water. Medical ozone is prepared from pure medical oxygen via silent electrical discharge for use as an ozone/oxygen mixture at an exact concentration and dosage.

History behind Medical Ozone Therapy

The first use of ozone intravenously was done in the 1940s and its development is credited to Dr. H. Wolff. It is the most common ozone treatment today and is used by thousands of physicians worldwide in countries like Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, France, England, Canada, Russia, India, Eastern Europe, Cuba and Mexico.

How does Medical Ozone Therapy work?

Medical ozone has highly pronounced bactericidal, fungicidal and virostatic properties, and is thus widely used in disinfecting wounds, as well as, in bacterial and viral diseases. Ozone’s ability to stimulate circulation is beneficial in the treatment of various circulatory disorders and makes it valuable in revitalizing organic functions. Ozone is a potent regulator of the immune system. This unique property makes the therapy effective in both over and under active immune systems. Ozone also activates the body’s own antioxidant systems and free radical scavengers by stimulating glutathione and superoxide dismutase and is thus useful in diseases that involve chronic inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Over time, our skin begins to display the effects of aging. Factors like sun, gravity, diet and hormones can actually speed up the aging process. The collagen found in our skin begins to break down and results in fine lines around the eyes and lips, deeper lines and grooves in the brow, and much more.

Add Collagen Building Infusions to your treatments for enhanced collagen stimulation by delivering key vitamins and minerals directly into the blood stream. For example, collagen is comprised of vitamin C and magnesium… so why not supplement with these nutrients to maximize treatment response.
