Heal

Let me start off by expressing how much I despise social media, smart phones, smart TV's, and the internet in general: I despise it. I hate being harassed by ads all day every day while trying to network for my business, but alas, that is the world we live in. But I also hate feeling like google, Netflix, Facebook, Instagram, amazon, Disney, and whatever other monopoly is left standing (chick-Fil-a?) read my mind and know EXACTLY what to show me because of what I've been researching or saying out loud.... But once again, I digress. I have been studying and practicing self-healing, meditation, NLP, Chakras, the endocrine system, similarities in religions, and physical ailments for just a few months now but I have soaked up A LOT of juicy connections amongst ALL of these topics and beliefs. I've been a skeptic...of EVERYTHING my whole life, but now I'm finally piecing so many different sources together. I've never been a fan of modern-western medical science and for good reason. There IS proof in this stuff and it's even beginning to be explored by modern-western science (but fancier words so you feel more convinced!) so please do not disregard this as pseudo-science mumbo-jumbo, because it can save your freakin life! Of course, there is much, MUCH more to the power of belief and the strength behind the connection of our pituitary gland, pineal gland, thyroid, thymus, adrenal glands, reproductive glands, and so on and so forth...but don't take my word for it! Try it yourself! Wahoo!

My Rating : 7/10 It talks about how a placebo effect can be just as effective as taking a pill to cure chronic illness/pain through training the mind to believe so. It's a good discussion and I'm sure there's some credibility to the whole concept. Good watch.

While I appreciate the sentiment of this documentary I feel it lacked in so many areas. As someone living with chronic illness and who has tried many alternative therapies there's so much the documentary missed out. They documentary briefly touches on energy medicine theory and mention there is an impact from nutrition they failed to dig deeper. We should have been given an insight and overview into a few of the many therapies available such as Bodytalk, Reiki, Homeopathy, acupuncture etc. We could have spoken with more practitioners and been given more successful case studies and seen what's involved with these treatments. Also there were maybe 3 people who we speak to who struggle with illness one of which over came her cancer with chemotherapy and wheatgrass we are told. We see a man receive treatment from a "divine healer" we are told he has cancer but we never find out if his healing session worked or what happens to him after treatment even though he says he feel different. We follow a lady with a mystery skin condition who receives some treatment and nutrition information but her condition never clears up This does not give people a lot of faith in the treatment of these conditions through energy medicine as we actually do not see a sic evil treatment on this documentary which is sad as there are so many case studies out there which could have inspired hope in these modalities. There's is a brief mention of nutrition but the documentary failed to go further into it or mention how unhealthy meat,dairy,eggs and fish are to the body (Watch What The Health) and only kind of mentions a whole foods plant based diet but doesn't talk about the supportive evidence of this or the science about what this does to your body. Overall I was pretty disappointed as this could have been done so much better in a way that would inspire people to change their way of thinking about medicine and energy.

I am relatively healthy, and I've been exposed to most of the concepts discussed in this documentary. Nevertheless, I found it immensely inspiring. I find myself making healthier choices in my daily life, even though I'm not dealing with dis-ease myself.

There's a lot of negative reviews from people discrediting the information provided, or claiming the individuals interviewed are just trying to sell their book or knowledge. If only these people realized that the pharmaceutical industry is driven by profit. Now, I'm not saying Western medicine is wrong. There is a certainly a place for it, and it has certainly saved lives. But these alternative remedies cannot be ignored. Nothing is more powerful than the mind, and this documentary is just trying to explain the miracles our bodies can perform. As someone with a chronic health condition, I have relied on Western medicine at times of crisis. However, living everyday focusing on nutrition and positive mindful practices is what truly allows me to heal. I urge everyone to absorb this with an open mind and an open heart. Much of these practices can be performed at no cost to you, and there are some really amazing people working in the fields of alternative medicine.
