03/11/2014 not a very well made film by any stretch of the imagination, but, the information contained within is... excellent. See more 04/25/2013 Tell me something i don't know. See more 12/22/2012 Omg everyone needs to see this and be an informed consumer!!!! See more 08/04/2012 This was a great documentary. I reccomend everyone watch it See more 05/24/2012 Some good information, but it's very propaganda like. Sensationalizing and extreme. See more 05/12/2012 A MUST WATCH if there ever was one. This film explicitly defines the ignorance and corruption of American society. In the face of a scientific truth, many parties continue to seek their own satisfaction rather than admit that Gerson therapy has cured many "terminal" diseases such as cancer. Ashamed.
