In many ways, his very life-simply the fact that he was allowed to have it-stands as a testament to his work.

You almost had me, until "Big Pharma", then I knew what the goals of the movie would be. As a cancer survivor who believes wholeheartedly in lifestyle changes, I also believe in what "big pharma" did to save my life. You can not demonize medications, it makes people take huge risks and lose their lives because they no longer trust science and medication.

One of my TOP 5 health and food documentaries. Really exposes our issues with this almost epidemic and clearly rising health concern as we battle our "food borne illness" - and are losing. AND a very nicely done documentary/story.

Wow. What an eye-opener! A simple shift in perspective... instead of looking for a miracle cure for cancer, this film looks at prevention from a whole life approach. They explore our lifestyle patterns as a society and how they correspond to cancer rates. But it doesn't stop there. It also explores what we can do about it in our lives today.
