What the documentary is advocating IMO is self knowledge and doing your own research and experimentation rather than getting a doc to throw you a pill and considering that due diligence. But there is a lot more to that video than this IMO.
And since I've been doing my relaxation work and diet change I can't help but believe it's really seriously helping me. It's likely helped reduce my pain by half at least. I'm going to cut back slowly on my Gabapentin and see (see the video) if that so called "side effect" of inhibiting urination might be the cause of my bladder issues. I'll let you all know one way or the other.
But even if it wasn't helping much with pain my psychological health has improved dramatically also and was happening before the real pain reduction kicked in. I'm handling my life better in all areas.
Am I right, will it work for others? I'm not sure ultimately, things could come roaring back any minute. But they haven't and not for a while so I think I'll keep on keeping on until my body shows me I'm not on the right track.

My wife has contracted cancer twice now from taking pills to help Psoriasis.Humira has it listed as a side effect but the advertisements seem to downplay it and smooth it over. Anything IMHO that allows you to get off a med without much loss of quality of life is the right track. I used some serious pain meds for a while. They have their place IMO as a bridge that you have to use. I feel that each idividual would have a different reaction to a stress reduction. Some more profound than others but all definitely positive. Anything you can think of to be more happy, right?P.S. Wife's lung nodule deemed scar tiki issue, woohoo!!!!
