Being a cancer survivor myself I truly appreciated this film that gave me hope throughout my chemotherapy treatment. As my type of cancer was particularly aggressive with the highest mortality rate during the 1st chemotherapy cycle I followed mental and emotional processes discussed in this documentary to actively participate in the killing of my disease. 8 months down the line I was in complete remission. Healing is a process that equally requires a scientific and a spiritual process - drugs and hope - and simply this is what this documentary is trying to teach us!!

Loved it!!!

Now similar to another documentary this tells us there is one powerful weapon we seldomly use: the power of will. The power to imagine something and to make it come true through sheer will and the power of ... well positive energy I reckon. Do you believe in it? Or is sarcasm winning over? Now I personally think there is truth to it.

And the same is true for all those people affected in this documentary. It doesn't mean that all is well as long as you think positive, but it is one step in the right direction. There is more we don't know yet, about many things, so why not go for some positivity. And if you take anything away from this (there is even an actress in this, you may recognize from a former hit TV show),hopefully it is something positive

Greetings again from the darkness. Self-healing has been done in many futuristic and science fiction films, and in the recent BLADE RUNNER 2049 we watched Ryan Gosling instantaneously recover from severe wounds. Of course, most of us aren't replicants, so we follow along with what our doctors typically do … treat the symptoms rather than the cause. Director Kelly Noonan Gores explores the theory that our bodies are quite capable of self-healing even when serious disease is involved.

The Mind-Body connection is explored through case studies and interviews. It's the intersection of science and the spiritual that forms the basis of the thoughts from experts such as Deepak Chopra (who seems to be in every other documentary these days),Marianne Williamson, Anita Moorjani, Bruce Lipton, Michael Beckwith and others. They subscribe to the notion that your thoughts, beliefs and emotions directly affect your health. Change your perspective and it allows your body to heal itself. We've always believed that illness is inevitable, but maybe it's time to question this.

It seems logical, and has been proved, that we can activate our immune system through a regimen of exercise, nutrition, and supplements. The film covers this and more, including stem cell research, alternative treatments, and the use of healers – holistic energy for chronic pain and disease. As we would expect, the effects of stress are key to any film or study on healing. It's a known evil and the depth of its impact is only now beginning to be understood.

There are some interesting discussions regarding "fight or flight" and "rest and repair", and the belief that toxins are affecting newborns. These toxins likely lead to future disease and are the key to finding the cause, as opposed to treating the symptom. Director Noonan-Gores follows at least three people on their journeys of discovery and healing, providing hope that self-healing may become a true path for many.
