    Storyline

    Edit
    Master filmmaker Steve Kroschel, intrigued by a stunning statement from his last documentary, sets out to find hard evidence of the effectiveness of the Gerson Therapy, a long-suppressed natural cancer cure. His travels take him across both the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans, from upstate New York to San Diego to Alaska, from Japan and Holland to Spain and Mexico. In the end, he presents the testimony of patients, scientists, surgeons and nutritionists who testify to the effectiveness of the Gerson Therapy in curing cancer and other degenerative diseases, and show the hard scientific evidence to back up their claims. The question that remains is, "Why is this powerful curative therapy still suppressed, more than 75 years after it was clearly proven to cure degenerative disease?"In his film, Mr. Kroschel interviews top nutritional and agricultural experts, two surgeons, a Japanese medical school professor who cured himself of liver cancer over 15 years ago, a lymphoma patient who was diagnosed as "terminal" over 50 years ago, as well as noted critics of this world-renowned healing method who dismiss it out of hand as "pure quackery". The viewer is left to decide for himself which is the truth. —Anonymous

      Himself - Presenter: I moved here several years ago. It is a land where you can touch the pulse of Nature's rhythms in the raw. It is a place where one is able to step back and collect your thoughts, to contemplate, contemplate life and what matters.

    Really refreshing, and full of hope...Nicely done!
    It is hard to be objective when evidences starts to pile up and you're getting more and more angry, but he has somehow managed to stay true to the course and objectively approach every single goal he has set until the final one.

    Very nicely done, it is refreshing to see for a change a documentary in which facts are presented as they are, without bias toward either side and without director constantly trying to convey a single message to the point where it gets so annoying and you say "Al right i got it, i got it.. can i please see the rest.."

    I get the feeling that he was filming this movie for his own personal records, so that someday, in 20 years from now, he can lean back in his sofa with his wife and watch it in the evenings, and remember where we were once..

    Surely we will all watch it one day as a historical footage, while trying to explain our grandchildren how we had our reasons to let powerful people become what they are now...
