In DYING TO HAVE KNOWN, filmmaker Steve Kroschel goes on a 52-day journey to find evidence supporting the effectiveness of the Gerson Therapy -- a long-suppressed natural cancer cure. His travels take him from Alaska to Me... more »xico with stops in San Diego, New York, Japan, Holland and Spain. In the end, he presents the testimonies of patients, scientists, surgeons and nutritionists who testify to the therapy s efficacy in curing cancer and other degenerative diseases, and presents the hard scientific proof to back up their claims. Testimonies include: 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 from noted critics of this world-renowned healing method who dismiss it out of hand as pure quackery. So 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 diseases? The viewers are left to decide for themselves.« less

I know, I have said it before...we pay our doctors backward. We should pay them every day we are healthy, not when we are sick. What incentive do they have to keep us well when we pay them when we are sick??? Same with Big Pharma...why should they find a cure for cancer when they make their money off treating it?
This is a very enlightening look at some of the things that are wrong with our medical system.

Empowering!

"This is a powerful film that documents the underlying reasons why the medical establishment ONLY pushes drugs, chemotherapy and radiation for the treatment of cancer and not only dismisses alternative healing but the medical insurance companies won't even cover alternative therapy. The reason? There's no MONEY in treatments that actually eradicate disease! There's simply too much money to be made in the cancer industry! This is a chilling reminder that ignorance is not bliss! The American Medical Association and the National Cancer Society are merely organizations to ensure that the truth doesn't get out! They are in place to CAPITALIZE on the cancer BUSINESS! Truly a life changing film! I prepared myself a fresh fruit smoothie after watching it!"
Excellent

"This was a really powerful movie. Very well done. It explores the Gerson therapy and the narrator interviews many conventional doctors as well. I went right home and juiced a carrot/apple/greens drink! He makes an excellent case for food based health care as opposed to the traditional chemical based health care that we have in this country. I did not want the movie to end, it was so enjoyable."
MUST See T.V.

"Like the other reviewers I have started vegetable juicing since watching this movie. So the movie is convincing and informative enough to cause a change in lifestyle just by watching for 1 1/2. That's pretty impressive. I have been interested in "alternative" health information for 20+ years but had never directly learned about Max Gerson and his work. In hindsight I am incredulous that such an important and exhaustive body of work has eluded me. This DVD along with it's 'companion' piece "A Beautiful Truth" presents the story quickly and well. Well or Sick, EVERYONE SHOULD SEE THIS MOVIE AT LEAST ONCE IN THEIR LIFETIME. Now is better than later. As an aside, A Beautiful Truth and Dying To Have Known both appear to have been produced by the same people and at the same time and either one can present the story. Each has some unique information and some similar/overlap."
Highly recommend!
