Escondido en nuestros intestinos, 100.000 billones de bacterias nos mantienen saludables al producir una variedad de moléculas. Aunque son invisibles a simple vista, podrían revolucionar el futuro de la medicina, si nuestro estilo de vida no los elimina primero.

Ocho años después de estudiar a varones en situación de riesgo, se revela el impacto de los disruptores endocrinos sobre la fertilidad, Sylvie Gilman y Thierry de Lestrade toman de nuevo la alarma al revelar el impacto negativo de estos contaminantes en nuestra inteligencia y la salud mental y cuenta con la participación de investigadores como Barbara Demeneix, la especialista en tiroides y bioquímica estadounidense Arlene Bloom, que lleva desde los años 1970 una feroz batalla contra el uso de retardantes de llama (mezclas químicas añadidas a una amplia variedad productos industriales tales como plásticos, textiles y equipos eléctricos o electrónicos para hacerlos menos inflamables). Sus estudios y otros nos alertan sobre un problema de salud pública que legisladores, bajo la influencia de los lobbies industriales, están dejando de lado.

Durante generaciones, hemos creído que el ser humano se movía por un despiadado interés propio. Sin embargo, existen razones biológicas para creer que la cooperación puede vencer al egoísmo.

While life expectancy is increasing in Western countries, cases of diabetes, hypertension, obesity and cancer are increasing, and the use of medication has exploded. Does this mean that in order to live to a ripe age we are condemned to swallow more and more drugs? What if there was another way? For half a century, in Russia, Germany and the U.S., doctors and biologists have been exploring a different therapeutic approach: fasting. The results are amazing. Soviet researchers have provided a body of clinical studies of exceptional health…only published in Russian, and thus unknown in the West. Young biologists from the University of Los Angeles have overturned conventional wisdom and used molecular biology to demonstrate the powerful effects of fasting. This research suggests a wide-ranging potential, which could include treatments for the disease of the century, cancer. If these scientists are right, maybe our approach to disease and treatment will need a rethink.

Spared by cancer, diabetes and possibly Alzheimer’s, men and women of small stature are intriguing scientists that are trying to postpone age-related illnesses. What mechanisms protect these small Ecuadorian from certain illnesses? From Quito to Los Angeles, via Tel-Aviv, the film follows the revolutionary research, step-by-step, that is attempting to understand and prevent diseases such as cancer. And outlines ways to live in good health… for as long as possible.
