      Jonathan Curiel San Francisco Chronicle It's Michael Moore without the truculence, PBS without the pretension, CNN without the commercial grandstanding. Rated: 4/4 Jan 9, 2009 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Comes off mostly like a hybrid of retro-style educational film and late-night infomercial. Rated: 2/5 Nov 26, 2008 Full Review Tim Grierson L.A. Weekly [A] condescending, manipulative film. Nov 26, 2008 Full Review James Plath Movie Metropolis Caveat emptor really applies here, because your health is at stake. Do your research, do your homework, and use common sense. Rated: 6/10 Apr 17, 2011 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice A powerful documentary that offers both a chilling expose of the toxins in our food that are causing so much disease and an affirmation of a plant-oriented therapy that has cured cancer in many individuals. Rated: 4/5 Nov 21, 2008 Full Review Eric Monder Film Journal International An unusual and sobering documentary which turns conventional wisdom about health matters on its head.

      Audience Member not a very well made film by any stretch of the imagination, but, the information contained within is... excellent. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Tell me something i don't know. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Omg everyone needs to see this and be an informed consumer!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a great documentary. I reccomend everyone watch it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Some good information, but it's very propaganda like. Sensationalizing and extreme. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member 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.
