I am an assistant producer at a television production company called Betty. I am currently working on a brand new television series for Channel 4 called ‘The Food Hospital’ (working title). The idea of the programme is to explore the possible benefits of everyday foods in targeting a wide range of medical conditions and symptoms.

There’s plenty of evidence to say that our health and our diet are closely linked and current scientific research shows that certain foods can be used to treat some illnesses and / or their symptoms.

Patients attending ‘The Food Hospital’ will be advised by our team of medical professionals, including a GP, a specialist medical Consultant and a leading Dietician. Using evidence-based, cutting-edge scientific research, the team will prescribe specific diets for the treatment of the patients’ conditions or symptoms. The team will welcome patients with serious illnesses and everyday ailments alike. The treatment that the Food Hospital will offer is intended to be followed in conjunction with the patient’s existing medical regime, and the Food Hospital medical team will endeavour to work collaboratively with the patient’s current medical advisors.

We are currently looking to speak to anyone who is going through / about to go through the chemotherapy treatment and who might be interested in hearing more about ‘The Food Hospital’ and potentially being involved in the programme.

I can be contacted at foodhospital@betty.co.uk (Please mark for the attention of Andrew).

With many thanks,

Andrew
