The Beautiful Truth

I went and saw a very interesting movie tonight called The Beautiful Truth. It's about the Gerson Therapy and how it's cured many people who were written off as "lost causes". It was interesting to hear their stories and  learn about Dr. Gerson, described as "one of the most eminent geniuses in the history of medicine" by Dr. Albert Schweitzer. Another emphasis in the film was the importance of a good, healthy, organic diet and the importance of juicing. And while you get to hear about an alternative perspective to treating life-threatening diseases, you also get a plethora of information regarding the pharmaceutical companies, farming companies, and the overall medical view of treating disease in America. Definitely worth watching!
