Heal

Heal seeks to answer a question that most of us ask ourselves daily: now that I've married this billionaire, what shall I do with my time? "Director" Kelly Noonan answers this question boldly as she speaks with "authors," many of which she appears to chase while on their lunch break in New York City. One man talks to ghosts and seems disappointed when Noonan doesn't have a terminal illness. The rest of us are disappointed for other reasons. All jokes aside, this is a gold digger's fantasy ride. Please don't be tricked into believing it.

The amount of absolute nonsense pseudo-science in this "documentary" is insane. Unproven claims, ridiculous claims and, quite frankly, dangerous claims with zero peer reviewed evidence behind it. All of it aimed at the most gullible amongst us.

Avoid.

Typical case of a chick married to a billionaire and gets him to waste his money funding a crappy documentary.

What started as an overview of alternative therapies to diseases conventional medicine doesn't have an acceptable solution ended ... with no conclusion. Two severely ill cases are presented throughout the whole movie, alongside their therapeutic journey encompassing a wide array of alternative therapies. Yet only one of them is followed until the end of the disease, the other one being somehow lost in the eternal dilemma of choosing between harmful on long term conventional therapies and insufficiently proved unconventional ones.

Also quite bizzarre "match" between the lifestyle that some characters pretend to have ( yoga, ayurveda, meditation - which should balance and put one in deep connection to the real self), and their unnatural look ( obvious plastic surgery, underweight, hair dying in men, elegant hairdos etc).

Basically the movie just touches very sensitive areas of therapeutics without showing you clearly solved cases. It left me in an overall impression of shallowness.

Too bad. The topic deserves a better approach.

The full realization of the human psyche's degree of plasticity, together with the deepened understanding of its extraordinary malleability, adaptability and resilience;

the introduction of the concept positing that by re-arranging one's mental make-up and by re-directing one's frame of mind's accent and focus, one could acquire the capability to transform, re-shape and, by doing so, drastically improve one's existential well-being - i.e. financial and social circumstances,

is among the few MOST UNDERVALUED AND UNDERRATED scientific breakthroughs in human history.\

This documentary could give you the perspective why that might be, as it did for me.
