1. What drove you to make this documentary? My own grandchildren’s early deaths, food allergies, neurological problems and my desire to see everyone live a healthy, full life, free of toxicity in their food, water and air.
2. Why a docu-series? We plan to look at the relationship of nutrition to several diseases such as MS, Parkinsons, diabetes, cancer etc. Because our base of operations is in Prescott, Arizona and this place has a special relationship with the recovery community, we decided to lead with a look at nutrition and addiction.
