A Documentary Every American Needs To Watch

I take it that you are a member of this forum because you are serious about your health. But how serious are you, really? Watch this movie. It has proved to be the single most eye-opening, informative and educational learning tool for me as far as what is safe for me to consume.

Check it out, you'll be glad you did. It's free to watch this week only:

P.S.

I'm 28 years old. I've spent the last two years of my life feeling like i total crap. Everyday, just completely run down, physically and mentally. I've spent the last 3 days of my life eating grain-free, GMO free, and purely organic. I've never felt so alive, energized and happy. The change was almost immediate.

Not just every American but every Canadian as well! I used to work for an organic certifying agency (and loved it and learned a LOT) so am very aware of the dreadful GMOs. However, this video held a sense of urgency and renewed my disgust in what we unquestioningly accept. It was also helpful to see the latest 2012 information. This video really could be lifechanging. Shame on Monsanto. :angry:

Thank you for sharing this. Highly fascinating.

I am with L2T on this. I was sick at my stomach watching this. A very well done film.

I have sent it on to a number of people.

For those of you who don't have time to watch the whole thing, believe me, if you did watch it you would definitely do everything you can to avoid GMO foods. During the last ten minutes of the film they mentioned this site: Open Original Shared Link

I just added it to my favorites bar.

BridgeOfSighs, I can't thank you enough! (Great screen name too by the way.)

Thanks for posting the web link Bartfull, I was going to try looking for that.

And Bridge thanks for posting the video. It's kind of long but definitely worth watching. I'll be looking for non-GMO next time I shop.

Thanks for posting. I already watched it. I hadn't understood before that one reason for the development of GMOs was to enable the use of massive amounts of round up. That might be more responsible for the problems than the genetic modifications.

It would be interesting to compare the numbers of people (and animals) with each of the different medical problems in Europe and in America. I'm not sure all of that info is available on the web, and I don't have time today to look these things up, but maybe on Monday I'll take a look.

It might well be the Roundup causing the problems, but I suspect it is a combination of both. I know that I was reacting to pesticides before my gut healed, and I imagine herbicides are just as bad. But because they not only modified these plants to withstand Roundup but they also inserted pesticide genes into them, I'm pretty sure we are all ingesting pesticide with each bite of GMO food we eat. It CAN'T be good for us!

I never knew anything about GMOs killing animals, or workers in South Africa getting sick/dying from eating the crop they feed their cattle, or new-found organisms created from it that are killing animals. Thank you for posting.

The scariest thing to me is that despite there being government controls to avoid us ever getting something toxic or harmful from into our food, that nevertheless they have not prevented it in the least. Theres reasons I never really gave a thought about GMOs being harmful.

I imagine some of those organisms they've found in animals that kill them can be found in people.

I just thought this might explain what I think might be a reaction to processed corn yet why the corn on the cob I eat is fine. I eat the local corn on the cob only. I eat whatever for processed corn. I will have to look into this further.

Wow, very eye-opening, and I've been getting their emails for a few months now. I was 20 minutes into it and paused it to email the link to my brother, wish I'd have watched it earlier in the week. As soon as my budget allows, I think I'll buy the dvd.

I watched this last night and I threw out all of my gluten free food which is GMO. I was horrified to learn about the history of the implementation of genetically modified food into our food chain.

      Your frustration is completely understandable—after 13 years of strict gluten-free living and mostly normal antibody levels, it’s disheartening to still see biopsy evidence of lingering damage, especially without clear guidance from your GI. The subtle improvements (like "focal" vs. "patchy" changes) might suggest some healing, but the persistent villous blunting and lymphocytosis raise valid concerns about ongoing low-level inflammation, cross-contamination, or even refractory celiac disease (though your normal antibodies make this less likely). It’s especially frustrating when your symptoms (nausea, pain) are dismissed with generic advice, and communication feels like a game of telephone with nurses. Switching to a more engaged GI is a great step—someone who’ll actually discuss your biopsy results, explore potential hidden gluten exposures (e.g., medications, shared kitchens), and investigate other culprits (like SIBO, motility issues, or food intolerances that often overlap with celiac). Hang in there—you’re advocating for yourself the right way, and your dedication deserves answers, not canned responses. Hope the new GI provides the clarity you need!

      Thanks for the post on Vitamin D.  I have been living in south Florida and have been taking moderately higher doses of vit D. I am considering the Mushroom supplements and exporing Real Mushrooms, the brand. Not sure. If you have any thought, please share. I am curious about all things homeopathic.

      About 9% of celiacs react to the protein in oats (avenin) like they do gluten. The dairy protein casein is also known to damage small bowel villi like gluten does in some celiacs. In addition to that, many manufactured gluten-free food products contain difficult to digest polysaccharides like xanthan gum that are famous for causing digestive distress.

      Your  post is excellent. Thank you!! I have been trying to keep my diet "truly gluten free," but as you know, it's a  sneaky allergy, especially if you have a heightened sensitivity. So ironically, and sadly, no medical person told me to stay away from "gluten free oats.".  To my own fault, my lack of awareness led to years of eating  massive bowls of gluten-free oatmeal, sometimes twice a day. Awful right?  I am sure this added to the recovery time. I think I have been super vigilant for the last 12 months, but I wonder. I  haven't gone to a restaurant in a long time. My wife is frustrated with my social situation but truthfully I need to get this condition over with. Thanks again.

      Thank you so much for the caring reply. It really helps to be getting feed back on this. Thank you Celiac.com!  The skin lesions are in the last stage. Some are larger and take more time but much better. I look at photographs from 2 years ago and I shudder.  The stomach issues prevail,  although incrementally improved, even after a stay at MayoClinic this past year. Thank you again
