"Powerful and well produced film on an incredibly exciting and important new frontier of medicine"

"A very interesting documentary with appalling decision making from those at the top. Corruption by seniors in the Psychiatric profession who I suspect are in bed with the medical insurance industry. Deny it’s a disease and they save billions. Interestingly this illness has now been proven to be a biological disease, not in the mind at all. What an utter tragedy for those poor people inflicted with it."

"Please watch this film. This disease affects 2.5 million people in the US alone and we are suffering in silence. We’re invisible. No treatment, no cure. Doctors have no idea what to do with us as research is very low due to uncannily low funding from NIH and CDC. Please help us, it will have to come from an outside source like yourself, someone with the interest and means to finally unveil the urgency millions of us need but are going without. You can help us get our lives back. Thank you."
