Origin Story
Daniel E. Kennedy created Healthy Long Life for two reasons:
- He wants to put a stop to cancer in his family as he has lost his grandmother, uncle, aunt and brother-in-law to cancer. His father had two types of cancer but died of congestive heart failure after living for years in pain and countless surgeries, medical procedures and pills. Daniel dreams of a cancer-free life for his children, grandchildren and future generations.
- After working for twenty-seven years in cancer treatment, he is convinced that the only cure is prevention. In this documentary, he has traveled the world and is sharing with viewers the preventive power and wisdom of food and lifestyle he observed in various cultures and traditions.
Pedro Batiz is one of the executive producers. He invested in the filming of Healthy Long Life as an action of gratitude because his father, Raul Batiz, survived cancer and will turn 96-years-old in November of 2020. In the late 1990s, Raul was diagnosed with advanced stage cancer of the kidney and was given three months to live by his oncologist in San Diego, California.
Raul’s grandchildren were friends with Dr. Francisco Contreras’ children who told them about the Contreras Oasis of Hope Hospital. Raul went to Dr. Contreras and beat cancer and he has lived cancer free for more than twenty years.
The Batiz family also learned about the importance of producing organic produce from Dr. Contreras. They set out to change over much of their farming in Mexico to organic farming. They are major suppliers to of organic produce Whole Foods, Costco and Pavilion.
