Trailer | Forks Over Knives - The Official Movie Website
From the official website:
What has happened to us? Despite the most advanced medical technology in the world, we are sicker than ever by nearly every measure. Two out of every three of us are overweight. Cases of diabetes are exploding, especially amongst our younger population. About half of us are taking at least one prescription drug. Major medical operations have become routine, helping to drive health care costs to astronomical levels. Heart disease, cancer and stroke are the country’s three leading causes of death, even though billions are spent each year to “battle” these very conditions. Millions suffer from a host of other degenerative diseases.
Could it be there’s a single solution to all of these problems? A solution so comprehensive but so utterly straightforward, that it’s mind-boggling that more of us haven’t taken it seriously?
FORKS OVER KNIVES examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the so-called “diseases of affluence” that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods. The major storyline in the film traces the personal journeys of a pair of pioneering yet under-appreciated researchers, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn.

My health odyssey (part 2)
After seeing the piece about Rip Esselstyn and The Engine 2 Diet on TV that fateful Sunday morning it was off to the internet and particularly Amazon.com to search for answers.
The answers are here:
In addition to The Engine 2 Diet from Amazon, I ordered:
- The Mcdougall Program: 12 Days to Dynamic Health
- Eat to Live: The Revolutionary Formula for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss
- The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health
- Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease: The Revolutionary, Scientifically Proven, Nutrition-Based Cure
My health odyssey (part 1)
This was what changed my life (health) for the better.
Like most people, I suppose, I had always thought of myself as a fairly healthy person. Oh, I could tone up a bit, maybe drop about 20 lbs. Then it seemed that once I hit the big five-oh, I started breaking down. I was starting to feel old, tired, with chronic aches and pains. Was this normal aging? Was this the way it was going to be for the rest of my life? Hopefully another 30+ years...
Then things took a turn for the worse. I was having circulation problems in my right leg. I could barely walk 50 yards without serious discomfort, and that distance was shortening. Ok, this was getting serious and I was beginning to get worried- my mind was racing to remember those damned drug commercials (I hate those!) about PAD. I finally, stubbornly, went to my doctor. Diagnosis- atherosclerosis, prescription- surgery, stent. Done.
That was in March of 2006. Jump forward almost 3 years- the problem returns. Worse. This time it has extended to the left leg, too. Surgery, two stents. Done. Follow up prescriptions- statins, Plavix. Was this the way it was going to be for the rest of my life? Hopefully another 30+ years...
Then, one Sunday morning I saw this on television...
After seeing this story I pondered my own declining health and came to the conclusion that this might just be the real answer.
