Food Matters (2008)

Pseudoscience at its best
29 September 2014
Just to clarify - my review is not financed by one of the evil pharmaceutical companies that intends to rule the world. I'm a reasonably health conscious individual but that doesn't mean I can't spot quacks when I see em.

This documentary is filled with (il)logical arguments only someone fluent in ancient Indus Valley language can decipher :- 1) Max Gerson used to hang around with people like Einstein - Einstein was a genius - that makes Gerson a genius as well. 2) "Good health does not cost money, so there is no reason to promote good health". The concept of economic cost of disease to the society does not exist at all 3) Medical journals do not cite one of their alternative medicine journals because they are "afraid" these would prove effective and ruin them trillions of dollars (and not because they are quack of course) 4) The testimony of doctors with dubious qualifications is sufficient for something to work while everything scientific and proved is a conspiracy - "I had a patient who was sick - treated the patient with my prescription - he/she was able to get super human abilities including ice breath, an extra arm and the ability to control intestinal bacteria. I can't prove these naturally, but if I made a documentary on it - it must be true right?"

People who appear in this video must first treat themselves to a 6th grade science text book and understand what scientific testing means. I had multiple brain farts sitting through the whole video.
