I Love Movies

I just watched a real deep movie called, "First Do No Harm." It's based on a true story. Meryl Streep plays a mother dealing with the hospital sys. when her son is diagnosed with severe Epilepsy. The drugs he's given nearly kill him with awful side effects. She talks to the doctors about putting the little boy on a special diet that she had researched that had helped a lot of people, but the doctors all try to talk her out of it in favor of medications and surgery. At the end he's put on the Kensington Diet which saves his life, and in the credits a lot of the actors are profiled as using the diet and never had a seizure or took a anti-seizure pill ever again. (And I apologize if I've ruined the movie for anybody). The point of the movie seems to be that the medical industry doesn't want people to use natural remedies, but wants to make money off of all the medication and procedures they administer whether it ruins people or not. Very disturbing idea and it is one I've heard before. What do you think? Is the medical sys. that evil?
