2013-08-19 21:59:48 - Your food, your medicine, and your healthcare have all been "doctored"
according to this documentary film of the same title. "Doctored" is
scheduled for a special showing at the Jane Pickens Theater, 19 Touro
Street, Newport on Tuesday, September 24, 7 p.m. Admission is $10. This is
the Rhode Island premier of this breakthrough movie.
This film is brought to you by a group of local concerned several local
Doctors of Chiropractic and the Chiropractic Society of Rhode Island. The
movie follows patients and healthcare providers struggling with a broken
This screening is also sponsored by The Green Grocer, A Market, and two
chiropractic suppliers - Dee Cee Labs and Foot Levelers, Inc. Local
chiropractors who helped sponsor the event include Dr. Michael Gottfried of
Aquidneck Chiropractic; Gordon Gibson of Easton Pond Chiropractic, Alan Post
Chiropractic Health Services and Ron Marsh of Ronald Marsh, DC.
There will be a short introduction to the film and a voluntary 15 minute
question and answer session at the end.
The film explores some common healthcare
myths, including "Your back pain
will require SURGERY", "Without these pills, you face life-long PAIN" and
"Your child's behavior requires MEDICATION".
Doctored reveals the unseen tactics of these "influencers" in an
investigation that leads to the highest levels of the American Medical
Association (AMA) and reveals an alarming portrait of deception and
criminality. Along the way we wonder: Is much of what we "know" about modern
medicine just slick marketing from companies that profit when we're in pain
(or by putting us in pain)? Why aren't we being told about the successes of
natural therapies? Why do so many people think chiropractors are "quacks,"
nutritional supplements a waste of money, and acupuncture a fringe therapy?
Is it because the "Medical Monopoly" spends millions a year attacking,
ridiculing, and trying to discredit these natural therapies? The answers are
almost beyond belief, until Doctored takes us into the courtroom with five
chiropractors who, having been labeled "an unscientific cult,' fought back
and won a landmark verdict. Because of their bravery, the medical industrial
complex is no longer blocking access to safe natural alternatives, pill
popping is giving way to preventative care, and purveyors of sickness are
being shoved aside, resulting in a healthier life.
Seating is limited to 300. Tickets can be purchased at the theater's
website, www.JanePickens.com or at the door. Parking is available both
