A very interesting TED Talk from Christopher McDougall about barefoot running and his theories on the evolution of man and our abilities to run. He also talks about how wearing shoes makes use heal strike which is far less efficient. The mechanism he refers to is call POSE Running and can be seen here.

I watched The Beautiful Truth documentary about Max Gerson and his alternative approach to cancer treatment. I got the pointer onto it from Glenn who is the cameraman on Diggnation. Anyway, there is a lot of interesting information in the documentary including some of Weston Price‘s research about nutritional impact. Also some interesting cases were highlighted around mercury fillings and there potential dangers. It is interesting if you combine this information with the Blue Zone work.Trailer for The Beautiful Truth:Blue
