In the documentary Food Matters the main argument was about medicated drugs and vitamins. They talked about how vitamins could be just as effective for humans and better for us then medical drugs. They talked about how people use medicated drugs to heal themselves but the body heals itself naturally and all it needs is the proper nutrients to help the body heal itself. The people in this film believe that if more people were to eat healthier and have the proper nutrition the body needs then they would not need to take medical drugs which only help with one area of the body. Were as Vitamins help with every part of the body so you would not have to go back and take another medical drug after another. When things in your body stop working you just eat right and take your vitamins and your body will be okay. I do agree with the things that were said in this movie. When they talk about how vitamins help with the body I have a personal experience with that. When I was younger my mother used to give me cod liver oil. What this did was it helped with the immune system. Taking this oil as a child I noticed that I didn't get sick like the other children in my school and I was not back and forth to the doctors. It was not until I got older and I stopped taking this cod liver oil that I began to get sick more often with the common cold. I also started to realize that there are a bunch of different medicines that are used for the same thing its just that some are more than others. In the movie they talk about doctors not studying nutrition. Now I don't know if this is true or not but when I go to the doctors and tell them whats wrong with me they always direct me toward a medical drug that will help with the problem I am having. And the medical drugs always has side effects of things that may happen if I take that drug. But they don't tell me about a vitamin I can use to help with the problem I am having and how that is better for me because it does not have any side effects that can hurt me unless I am allergic. So this movie got me thinking about questions i want to ask. Is money more important than health in America? Are doctors not informed about vitamins and nutrition?
