Movie Description
In this ground breaking program based on the popular book, holistic health expert Dr. Andrew Weil, M.D. puts forth his views on healing the body by concentrating on a state of health rather than on specific disorders. This approach to increasing general well-being focuses on stimulating the body's own ability to heal, through diet, alternative therapies, and mind/body methods, such as meditation.
Synopsis
Self-help writer Dr. Andrew Weil moves from the page to the screen in this examination of health and nature.
The physician discusses humanity's innate capacity for "healing" and nature's abilities to improve our "wellness." First schooled as a botanist, Weil also shares his dismay about modern medicine's alienation from the environment.
In turn, he surmises that the critical issues facing America's health care system are not ones of economic inequity, but fundamental misunderstandings in medical treatment.
