"Food Matters is a hard hitting, fast paced look at our current state of health. Despite the billions of dollars of funding and research into new so-called cures we continue to suffer from a raft of chronic ills and every day maladies. Patching up an over-toxic and over-indulgent population with a host of toxic therapies and nutrient sparse foods is definitely not helping the situation.

In a personal quest of discovery James and Laurentine together with a film crew and the editorial and production expertise of Enzo Tedeschi have set out on an independent mission to uncover the wholesome truth. The filmmakers have interviewed several world leaders in nutrition and natural healing who claim that not only are we harming our bodies with improper nutrition, but that the right kind of foods, supplements and detoxification can be used to treat chronic illnesses as fatal as terminally diagnosed cancer.

‘Food Matters' seeks to uncover the business of disease and at the same time explore the safe, cheap and effective use of nutrition and supplementation for preventing and often reversing the underlying causative aspects of the illness. With the premise of the film being: access to solid information helps people invariably make better choices for their health." -foodmatters.tv

Paul Stamets is a well-known mycologist, who has authored many books on mushroom biology, composition, and use, “This talk is going to center on the psilocybin active species.” In this presentation, Paul discusses cultural artifacts that resemble the venerate use of mushrooms in earlier civilization. He displays his work on spores and germination using scanning electro-microscopes, and explains that, “In 1980, I started a business called Fungi Perfecti ... I would be a very wealthy person had I chosen to sell spore prints of psilocybin mushrooms.”

Stamets claims that the greatest achievement of science in this century is the acknowledgment of our ignorance and elaborates on the significance of numerous species, of which he is affectionate,

“There is no site specific orifice for the digestion of nutrients. The entire surface area is a membrane for the release of enzymes and acids, which break down plant material. It is the entire foundation of our ecosystem. Without fungi, all of the plants would quickly die because, there would be a lack of nutrients. It’s the recycling of dead plant material and other organic complexes back into the ecosystem that is made possible by the mushroom mycelium. I believe this mycelial network is a neural network for the Gaia’n consciousness.”
