Filmmaker, Stephen Kroschel, sets out to find hard evidence of the effectiveness of the Gerson Therapy, a long-suppressed natural cancer treatment. His travels take him across both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, from upstate New York to San Diego to Alaska, from Japan to Holland and Mexico. In the end, he presents the testimony of patients, scientists, surgeons and nutritionists, who testify to the effectiveness of the Gerson Therapy and shows the hard scientific evidence to back up their claims. The question that remains is, "Why is this powerful curative therapy still suppressed, more than 75 years after it was clearly proven to cure degenerative disease?" The best movies are those that we do not want to end. For a documentary to meet that criterion is unusual. One that definitely does is Dying to Have Known, a revealing, well constructed, interview-based presentation of the benefits of the Gerson therapy. The movie, which premiered in Manhattan at the New York International Film Festival, records experts’ statements as they make them, pro or con, guarded or otherwise. It is also entertaining and persuasive cinema, a movie with a mission. That mission is the unabashed promotion of nutritional cancer therapy, still controversial seven decades after Max Gerson, M.D., first employed it. As you watch the film, skeptics and detractors repeatedly state their demands for placebo-controlled testing of the Gerson therapy. It appears they consider this to be their strongest point. In fact, it may be their weakest. The majority of medical procedures have never been adequately placebo tested. An example might be radiation therapy for cancer. Picture this: a sick, scared patient is told with confidence that, of course, radiation treatments are the best way to kill a given tumor. The patient is then subjected to long waits in waiting rooms with other believers; to high bills for the procedure; to awesomely large equipment with dials, lights, technicians and mysteries; and finally, to being placed nearly naked under or into an imposing machine. Dying to Have Known is natural healing right up there on the silver screen where it belongs. It is powerful, fast paced and compelling. If you are skeptical about alternative cancer treatment, see this movie. This film might do more than change your mind. It might change your lifestyle, change the world, and even change modern medicine. If this documentary is not immediately suppressed, millions of chronically ill people will get well. Good heavens, what a concept.
