The Business of Disease

THE BUSINESS OF DISEASE is a documentary about the power of self-healing and the forces aligned to prevent people from exploring a holistic approach to healing. The film presents a compelling case for individuals to be self-aware and take control of their overall health and healing.

The documentary explores what the producers call the “hypnosis of marketing” – a belief system that has evolved over many decades about healing that is generated and perpetuated by the marketing arms of the drug and medical industry. Alongside a group of spiritual leaders, speakers and doctors, the producers present an alternative view of self-care and a holistic approach to healing. The film aspires to educate people about healing and the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

The documentary traces the reasons why individuals and society have abandoned self-care, the marketing of disease, and the social and environmental systems that teach people to avoid self-care and holistic approaches. The purpose is not to dismiss the contribution of science but to understand the limitations of science as compared to a holistic approach that encourages self-care with a deep rooted understanding of the body, mind and spirit.
