I had stopped watching documentaries for awhile after I noticed how many of them were faking presenting reality while truly imposing an underlying agenda. This film is no different. It presents several truths to gain your trust. Are drug companies big money making machines influencing what doctors prescribe? Yes. Are doctors trained to treat diseases rather than focus on prevention and keeping patients healthy? Mostly yes. Are pain pills addictive and cause problems to many people's lives? Yes. Anyway, a critical thinker can pick up on the pattern of agreement being established. These truths lead you down the path to believing what else this documentary wants you to believe. Do vaccines cause autism? No, absolutely no scientific evidence whatsoever. This information was faked and is still being spread around. Latest evidence is starting to show connection to women who have polycystic ovaries and children born with autism. Does Dr. Bruzynski's cancer tx work? There is no evidence that his tx have been effective contrary to what the film presents. Please read the numerous patient testimonies and feedback regarding this. And of course, the film is pushing chiropractic medicine. Unfortunately the scientific evidence is lacking there. Chiropractic medicine is worth trying first for patients who are considering back surgery to solve their back pain and/or patients who are on a path developing a reliance on addictive pain medicine. Is Western medicine perfect? Of course not, there are many problems with the system and many doctors have let patients down with the approach to push pills and surgery. This film plays on that aspect to convince the viewer of the other false information that the film presents. Any treatment a patient ever receives should be based on scientific evidence whether it is natural, eastern, or western based. I fully support "natural" or "alternative" medical treatments and approaches beyond prescription drugs as long as there is scientific evidence proving its effectiveness.
