Entertainment Support for Healing

Searching for alternative ways to heal ourselves or our loved ones can be an extremely difficult undertaking.  Our society doesn't support our bucking the system to do what's best.  Most of the time we are pretty alone in our choice.  Fear, desperation, sometimes hopelessness can bring out self doubt and can lead us to failure.  Sometimes we need confirmation that what we're doing is right.  Society doesn't usually give us that.  But, there are a few sources of information, and great entertainment which take on that challenge. 
 
These following films have helped me continue with inspiration and hope.  They have the heart of what healing is about.
 
Anyone searching for a way to take care of themselves, family, or friends in an alternative healing approach is a hero in my eyes.  These films give a unique and controversial perspective, and let you know what you are about in this challenge.
 
There are not too many films I rate as a 10.  There is no film I rate as a 10 unless it makes a difference in affecting  our society for a positive change.  These films are all based on true stories.
The films on this list are a true 10.
