Movie Review: The Beautiful Truth

April 14th, 2009 by Kristen

My husband and I watched this movie recently, and both thought it was excellent! The Beautiful Truth follows one 15-year-old on a far reaching homeschool project.

These topics are thoroughly covered:
Fluoride
MSG/ Food Additives
Genetically Modified Foods (GMOs)
Organic Foods
Large Chemical Companies
FDA
Conventional Cancer Treatments
Gershon Therapy

From The Beautiful Truth Movie:

Garrett is a 15-year old boy living in the Alaskan wilderness with a menagerie of orphaned animals. Growing up close with nature has given him a deep understanding of nutritional needs required by diet sensitive animals on the reserve. Unfortunately, the untimely and tragic death of his mother propelled him into a downward spiral and he risked flunking out of school. This led to his father’s decision to home-school Garrett. His first assignment was to study a controversial book written by Dr. Max Gerson.

Written over 50 years ago, Dr. Gerson found that diet could, and did, cure cancer. Controversial at the time (and even today), Garrett took on the challenge of researching this amazing therapy, which drew the interest of his neighbors in the small Alaskan community. With the help of Dr. Gerson’s daughter, Charlotte Gerson, and grandson, Howard Strauss, they gave him the ammunition needed to go in search for the truth – a truth that would affect not only him, but his entire Alaskan village – all of whom wanted to know if these claims were true.

After a number of cancer patients, who were diagnosed as terminal, shared their stories and their medical records with Garrett, it became abundantly clear that, contrary to the disinformation campaign spear-headed by the multi-billion dollar medical and pharmaceutical industry, a cure for virtually all cancers and chronic diseases does exist – and has existed for over 80 years!

Garrett’s mission now is to tell the world.

Kristen’s Notes: I have not studied Gershon’s therapy. I have however studied: MSG, GMOs, Chemical Sprays, Organic Foods, and Coffee Enemas (hehe)…. and their affects on the body.

    Did you buy the movie or rent it? I have not heard anything about this movie. Looks interesting.

    We streamed it from Netflix.
    Streaming is watching from your computer. through the Internet. But, I imagine you could rent it from other places too.
