#120. Okay, so I am supposed to be doing my homework this morning, when I decided to check my email in-box first. I have a message in there from one of my cancer group Moms, who forwarded a link to this documentary that can be watched in its entirety for free until June 20. I click the link, thinking I would watch for a few minutes and file it away on my "to-be-watched-someday-in-the-future-when-it-hits-netflix-streaming" list. That didn't work out so well. I was immediately sucked in, and I couldn't stop watching. This film is disturbing on so many levels. This did not change my views about the FDA and my opinions about the pharmaceutical industry having far too much power....in fact, it reinforced my views. This movie is about a Doctor who discovered a valid treatment for certain types of cancer. This treatment IS being used in some clinical trials and the success rate seems to be very good. The fight this man has had to try to get this treatment to patients in the US is a crime and just disgusting to me. Please take the time to watch this movie. It can also be purchased at Whole Foods stores across the country. I think we need to know what kinds of things are happening in this country as far as the FDA is concerned. We need to become more proactive in this fight that is really out there. I used to get angry about stuff like this, but now that I have been in the trenches with Chloe....I feel the need to speak my mind about it. To share when something this powerful comes along that I think everyone needs to watch. It is free to watch until June 20, so take a few moments and check it out, then please share if you feel so moved to tell people. You won't be sorry.
