Food as Medicine – Jerry Brunetti – Part 1

on May 21, 2008

Part 1 of 2 videos – Part 1 video is 1 hour & 43 minutes long. Marty and I attended a lecture by him a couple of years ago and found it to be extremely helpful, so I believe these videos are entirely worth spending the time to watch. Part 2 of this lecture will be posted in a separate post.

This is Jerry Brunetti’s highly informative video lecture Food as Medicine (2005) where he lays out his experience with terminal cancer which he successfully overcame with eating healthy and different food than he used to eat until then. In 1999 he was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and given 6 months to live. He did not submit to chemotherapy, but rather, developed his own unique dietary approach to enhance his immune system. Jerry shares his personal experiences and provides his recipe for healthy living. You will learn about the crucial importance of minerals, which foods to choose for your best health requirements and what to avoid. After viewing this fascinating lecture you’ll realize the remarkable value of food in building good foundations, and providing buffers, to keep your body healthy. 3h long. A must see for everyone. Food as Medicine features: -The power of pigments -Make your plate a rainbow. -Protection from cruciferous vegetables. -The good oils. -Fabulous fermentation. -Eggs-The ultimate food. -Butter vs. Margarine-The power of raw milk. -What major minerals do-Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Phosphorous and Sulfur. -The trace mineral catalysts-Copper, Manganese, Zinc, Boron and Iron. -The forgotten five-Iodine, Molybdenum, Cobalt, Selenium and Chromium
