Eating You Alive to be Distributed by Gravitas Ventures per Agreement with The Purjes Foundation
(Salt Lake City, Utah) ‐‐ The Purjes Foundation, the owner of the gripping documentary, Eating You Alive, today announced that it has entered into a long-term distribution agreement with Gravitas Ventures, a Red Arrow Studios company, Eating You Alive will be released on DVD, Blu-ray and on-demand on December 4, 2018.
Eating You Alive (www.eatingyoualive.com) is a film that has saved many lives by showing how deadly chronic diseases can be reversed naturally. Diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, and other debilitating diseases are reversed to the point where patients are completely healed, with no symptoms and no need for medications. Patients and doctors describe how these seemingly miraculous results are achieved simply by converting to a whole foods, plant-based lifestyle.
Eating You Alive has prompted thousands of viewers to become healthy and vibrant. Recently, a projectionist wrote to the filmmakers that, unbeknownst to them, after watching the film from the projection booth, she converted to a plant-based lifestyle and lost 100 pounds in 8 months, while also reversing chronic ailments.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has estimated that half of all adult Americans, about 120 million people, suffer from one or more chronic diseases, and that worldwide there are 2 – 3 billion people suffering from at least one chronic disease.
Eating You Alive was Executive Produced by Dan Purjes. The film was directed and co-produced by Paul David Kennamer and co-produced by Merrilee Jacobs. Attorney Mark Litwak represented the Purjes Foundation in its contract with Gravitas Ventures.
