FMTV Live - A free Food Matters event

I joined Food Matters on Facebook a while back, and I noticed a post about FMTV Live. It was free to sign up and here's the way they set it up:

Day 1 it was Food matters, a documentary providing amazing information. They talk about our food, that local is better because when it gets shipped to us, it can be days or weeks before we actually eat the food which by then the food loses a lot of nutrients. One thing they mention that really makes you think is in a 23 year study, there are 2,438,000 people that died from a drug reaction (medical prescriptions) but only 10 people have supposedly died from having a reaction to vitamins. That's a huge difference!  And the word supposedly is used because it was never proven. There's so much more information provided in this movie. I love this documentary I have watched it a few times, and if you haven't watched it, I highly recommend it!
Day 2 is a live Q&A with Dr. Andrew Saul. He has his own book called Doctor yourself (natural healing that works). He started by saying how vitamins can be used to cure disease and food does matter but vitamins as well. Niacin (B3) was mentioned many times in helping lots of things like anxiety, depression, heart disease, high cholesterol, and many more, but it has to be a no flush niacin, which I didn't really understand what that meant, but I plan to look it up. The way they had this set up, is they were taking questions through facebook, and I posted my question since I felt like I was catching a head cold, so asked what's best to fight off a cold, and here's what he said; to take some Vitamin C, and everyone is different on how much to take. Juicing is very good as well, and cut down on food, liquids are best. Something he also mentioned is that most people fall short in the following vitamins: Vitamin C, Vitamin E (100 units a day), B complex (especially when under stress). There was a lot more information provided, but it was really amazing and glad I was able to take part in this.

Day 3 is Love Bomb, another documentary, that I have never seen before. They started with talking about 9/11, and the awakening that can happen in the wake of  something like 9/11 can encourage us to want to do something more positive with our life. Rhea Zimmerman Komarek knew that she can help more by becoming a chiropractor to help others around the world. 3 people set out in 2012 to Peru to help them, and once they got there, they got started right away. They explain how chiropractors can help, and also about their journey there, showing beautiful people and beautiful views of Peru. Everyone explains and sees love in many ways, and when we love we release a chemical called dopamine and growth hormone and that's what gives nourishment and maintenance to the cells and at the same time we release oxytocin, all those chemicals say bond, stay together, and it's nature's way to say that she really wants us to be in love. Love causes us to be at our best. I recommend you watch this documentary, it was very inspiring.
  Day 4 is a live Q&A with Dr. Rhea Zimmerman Komarek. At 9 years old her dad was diagnosed with cancer, and that's where her life changed. She decided to live life to the fullest, and had a spark before 9/11 that change her life. 9 months before she quite her job, she got into a mountain bike accident, had no use of her left arm, and reached out to a friend, and went to see a chiropractor, and she just knew that's what she wanted to do. There were quite a few questions that were asked and one was about if yoga and just moving/stretching has the same effect as going to see a chiropractor? Her answer was no because with a chiropractor they go within, at the spinal cord, and you just can't replicate that, it's a big force and big adjustment, and you won't know if you need an adjustment until you get checked. Someone else asked a great question, which I replied to saying I would love to know as well, which is would a chiropractor help a child that is autistic and she said yes that there's a  positive response with autism. Another questions was how often and do I have to have something wrong in order to see a chiropractor?  No you don't have to have something wrong, you can see one to see if you need it, to make sure you have a great working spine. And how often; the chiropractor will know your case and will tell you how often you would need to go. Dr. Rhea's documentary was released 3 weeks ago, and she's hoping for community screenings with volunteer opportunities, and they do have love bomb t-shirts on their website. She is so amazing and it was great to be part of this live Q&A.

There's still more documentaries and Q&A's coming up (10 days total), I will put them on another post to share some great information, and hopefully get you watching these amazing documentaries.
