3/10
Poorly executed

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.
