SYNOPSIS
Diana, Princess of Wales’ many struggles with depression led to her recurring eating disorder, bulimia nervosa. Manuel Uribe Garza, the world's fattest man, weighs 1,235 pounds, his extreme corpulence largely attributing to challenges he faces like inability to move and walk. Kurt Cobain, an American musician, best known for his roles as lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter for the rock band Nirvana, struggled with severe despondency, persistent bronchitis, and acute physical pain due to an undiagnosed long-standing stomach affliction. Many doctors guessing that it was either a result of some form of childhood disease or stress related, with none being able to pinpoint the specific cause by the time of his death.
Whether dis-ease of the mind causes disease in the body, or the reverse, the public’s fascination with medical mysteries is at an all-time high as they continue to give audience to such televised docu-dramas as Discovery Health, Diagnosis Unknown, and Mystery Diagnosis.
Life Without A Fork is a 131-minute runtime documentary film that follows the real-life accounts of Vanessa Williams and co-stars, Emmy award winner, Deb Whitcas, Brian Holden, Shelline Ross, Heather Campbell, Jacqueline Griffin, Meredith Fallow, Bonnie Williams, and Solstice Jensen as they live with the rare non-hereditary form of the condition known as chronic Angioedema.
Chronic recurring idiopathic angioedema is an orphan's disease that has been given very little analysis and research, and is idiopathic in that physicians do not know what causes it. This life-threatening condition is triggered by medications, dyes, environmental components, foods, trauma, and other elements that act as allergens, releasing histamine into the blood stream, and oft times causing anaphylaxis shock.
In addition to an extremely stripped down diet (usually mimicking anorexia and other necessary avoidances) the major treatment to date is large quantities of antihistamines on a daily basis; and when exacerbated, epinephrine injections and steroids (although these drugs prove to be ineffective for the rarer, Bradykinin form of Angioedema).
From the humorous to the emotional and from the practical to the educational, Life Without A Fork’s segments range from how to’s on maintaining a healthful lifestyle, history and timelines, food limitations, excessive weight loss and its physical impact, relevant support groups, and medical practitioners as well as information describing the need for and the process in getting legislature to recognize the rights, limitations, and special needs of sufferers of all forms of angioedema and mast cell disorders. There are testimonials from fellow sufferers, family, and friends and endorsements from such featured celebrities as Dolph Lundgren, star of the $350,000,000 grossing film, Rocky IV;Quinton Aaron, star of Oscar award winning movie, The Blind Side; Doug E. Fresh, a renowned founder of hip-hop and the iconic human beat box; Amin Joseph, star of Baywarch and The Expendables;Chef and Food Network All Star, Debbie Lee, and more.
There are many people who have fallen prey to this condition and whose lives may be saved by making this infirmity as publicized and important as the more reputed diseases of Parkinson’s, Fibromyalgia, Diabetes, Cardiovascular, and Cancer.

Organized by
#ActivismThroughFilmmography | Life Without A Fork was founded by Vanessa Williams in 2009 initially as a documentary film project to bring awareness to the rare, potentially fatal condition from which she was diagnosed in 2006, idiopathic angioedema. Since then, her efforts have grown to her becoming, inarguably, the world’s leading advocate for Recurring Idiopathic Angioedema (RIA) and creating the Idiopathic Angioedema Global Advocacy Group. Executive Producer of the feature length film which started this movement, Life Without A Fork also does ongoing research and outreach for Bradykinin Mediated Angioedema (BMA), Mast Cell Activation Disorders (MCAD), idiopathic anaphylaxis (IA), urticaria (hives), mental health diseases–“Dis-ease of the mind causes disease in the body,” her mom, Katie Tucker often told her–as well as other, seemingly overlapping conditions.
We hope you get the answers to your many questions about idiopathic angioedema–particularly those of which, ‘you do not know, you do not know’ as they are often the toughest to ask, yes? and gain the support of a global community of fellow-sufferers who understands the many extremities of your ongoing, ever challenging, and far too frequently changing circumstances.
May our outreach efforts, Idiopathic Angioedema Global Advocacy Group, feature length film, , documentary, {see trailer with the film’sstars, Vanessa Williams and Leading Angioedema Specialist, Dr. Marc Riedl of –UCSD}, and abundance of many other resources–yes, we’ve been doing this long time, help be your roadmaps in finding guidance as to why, how, and where to seek the best and most current in qualitative medical treatments the world over as well as help find the reassurances you may need in knowing that, although absolutely, ofttimes relentlessly, bizzaro and potentially fatal, with proper care, these conditions can be manageable and usually survivable.
