If you are what you eat, then healthy is a good place to start according to Penticton Mountie Cpl. Dan Moskaluk.

Diagnosed with stage four kidney cancer in November 2013, and given  only two years to live, Moskaluk was unable to complete his treatment at which time he turned to what for him was a last resort, a whole-foods, plant-based diet.

Today he鈥檚 healthy and back on the beat.

And soon, coming to a theatre near you, everyone will have a chance to see Dan and wife Sheanne鈥檚 (she lost 130 pounds on the same diet) stories in the documentary film .

A pre-release screening of the production which also features the likes of celebrities actor/producer Samuel L. Jackson, Oscar-winning director James Cameron and popular magician and entertainer Penn Jillette, is scheduled for Oct. 26 at the , it鈥檚 only Canadian stop.

In addition to the film officials and the screening there will be food tasting and a question and answer session during the evening which will be emceed by the Moskaluks.

鈥淲e became part of the cast of Eating You Alive, as a result of my reaching out via direct message to the producers on Facebook back in February, after seeing the trailers with the teaser 鈥榗oming soon.鈥� Eating You Alive resumes the story of whole-foods, plant-based  nutrition in similar fashion as , but in a much, much bigger production,鈥� said Moskaluk.

Launched in 2011 as a feature documentary, Forks Over Knives, backed by scientific research, presents a radical case (at the time) that diseases can be prevented and even reversed by not eating animal-based and processed foods, and opting for this alternative.

鈥淚n the message I simply asked when the movie was coming out explaining that we were big advocates of whole-food plant-based nutrition (clean vegans),鈥� said Moskaluk. 鈥淚 gave a brief description of our situation with Sheanne鈥檚 weight loss and my recovery and within 20 minutes Merilee Jacobs, the co-producer, called me and we talked.鈥�

Although the production was finished Jacobs was so taken by the couple鈥檚 story she asked Dan to send a clip via YouTube.

Three days later they were on their way to Atlanta, Ga. and then to Chattanooga, Tenn. where the additional filming took place.

According to Jacobs the producers felt the Moskaluk鈥檚 story served the purpose of the film and decided to include it. Dan is not sure how much of the movie they will be in but added: 鈥淚 know we didn鈥檛 end up on the cutting room floor.鈥�

The day-long shoot in Chattanooga went well and was quite emotional for all involved according to Moskaluk.

He recalled the artist who wrote the movie score had tears in his eyes after learning about the Penticton couple鈥檚 journey.

There will be two premiers, one in New York City and the other the first week of December in Los Angeles which the Moskaluks plan to attend.

鈥淚t (the diet) saved my life and saved Sheanne鈥檚 life too, we鈥檙e walking proof of it, there鈥檚 no two ways about it,鈥� said Moskaluk.
