“That Vitamin Movie,” created by award-winning producer and director Michael Beattie and sponsored by the Natural Bridge Medicinal Centre, features a long list of vitamin experts and health professionals in the complementary medicine field discussing the healing potential of vitamins. Beattie was inspired to make this film after Trevor, a close friend of three decades, told him he’d turned his life around; finally getting a handle on the depression that had plagued him. Removing sugar from his diet was the first step. Taking niacin (vitamin B3), was the second.
This tip was something Trevor had gleaned from watching the film, Food Matters (see Thursday 10 and Friday 18 November) in which Andrew Saul, Ph.D. talks about the usefulness of niacin in the treatment of depression.
His curiosity peaked, Beattie then heard about cases of people being brought back from the brink of death with the use of high-dose vitamin C and how many chronic diseases appear to be outgrowths of various nutrient deficiencies.
But if vitamins are so effective for treating disease, including mental disorders like depression, why aren’t doctors prescribing them instead of drugs? Together with Trevor, Beattie set out to investigate the truth of the matter.
Dr Margaret Buring who is head of Medicine at the Natural Bridge Medical Centre and will give a short introductory talk on the importance of Vitamin C, particularly as it affects our immune system, and how it fights infection, chronic illness, diabetes, obesity, aging and cancer.
