Stories of survivors of cancer, AIDS, and other life-threatening illnesses, who, after being given a death sentence by conventional doctors, went on to heal themselves solely with natural means (herbs, diet, etc).
SynopsisAward-winning BBC filmmaker Len Richmond interviews survivors of cancer, AIDS, and other life-threatening illnesses, who, after being given a death sentence by conventional doctors, went on to heal themselves solely with natural means (herbs, diet, etc). Len also speaks to renegade medical doctors, Ayurvedic healers, and Chinese herbalists who firmly believe that there is another way, a better way. AKA 'Everything Bad is Good'.
Director's Statement From All Movie Guide: With an extended television background that includes writing work on such popular shows as Three's Company in the U.S. and Agony in the U.K., writer-turned-director Len Richmond honed his storytelling skills on the small screen for just over two decades before opting to step into the director's chair for the comedy A Dirty Little Business. His award-winning television series, Agony, has been broadcast in 36 countries including twice on PBS.
Its American spin-off, The Lucie Arnaz Show, ran on CBS. A subsequent move to Paris found Richmond lending his pen to the French detective series Le Chinois, starring Charles Aznavour; with a stint on the highly-rated U.K. beauty salon comedy Split Ends following later that same year. In the decade following his work on Split Ends, Richmond eschewed television writing in favor of penning articles for such well-known magazines as Cosmopolitan and Forum, where he served an extensive stint as a popular sex-advice columnist.
Though his editorial work on The Gay Liberation Book and the publication of his first novel, Naked in Paradise, may have signaled a shift away from his original career as a television writer, film reviews for The Time Out Film Guide as well as celebrity profiles in Time Out Interviews showed a writer still very much taken by the entertainment industry. Richmond cemented his devotion to the screen by writing and directing, A Dirty Little Business. An independent comedy starring Michael York as a Russian entrepreneur in search of the American dream. A Dirty Little Business offered a gleefully irreverent behind-the-scenes look at the American sex-toy industry and featured a bouncing pop soundtrack by London techno-pop duo Erasure. More recently, he directed the documentary, "What if Cannabis Cured Cancer"~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

"HEALING YOURSELF: IN A WORLD OF MEDICINE GONE MAD highlights the many successful alternatives and solutions people have for their health problems. This film will transform the way you think about your health and inspire you to take control." -Dr. Julian Whitaker, M.D, Air America Radio “The powerful truths revealed by Len Richmond and the interviewees contain the solutions to the current medicine-caused health crisis. Enlightening, provocative and essential viewing for anyone who wishes to be healthy!” -Andreas Moritz, author “HEALING YOURSELF: IN A WORLD OF MEDICINE GONE MAD is very, very, moving, and very, very true. The system is corrupt and the present template of treating cancer is a dismal failure. It is all about nutrition, eliminating stress, eliminating chemicals, detoxing the body, and most of all eliminating pharmaceutical drugs. Len Richmond’s film is noble and important. If enough of us yell about this and create a grassroots movement, things can turn around. Otherwise the slow poisoning of ‘us’ will truly be the end of mankind. -Suzanne Somers, actress and author “I enjoyed the film enormously. The interviewees are most eloquent and well-chosen. Len Richmond has rendered a real public service.” - Michael York, actor and author "The message of his film reminds me of the old 1970s adage: Question Authority. Somebody needed to tell people there might be another solution to their health problems and Len Richmond has done this with heart and chutzpah. Bravo! - Doug Witkins, Amazing Movies
