Doctored (2012)
The story begins with the AMA's attack on their non-drug providing rivals, the chiropractic profession. Interviews and historical footage expose the AMA's clandestine campaign to eliminate chiropractic services, which culminates in a 15 year legal battle known as the Wilk case. This story, and the following stories of patients seeking or forced into alternative treatments, act as 'a small doorway into a large room'.

A Masterpiece!
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
I had stopped watching documentaries for awhile after I noticed how many of them were faking presenting reality while truly imposing an underlying agenda. This film is no different. It presents several truths to gain your trust. Are drug companies big money making machines influencing what doctors prescribe? Yes. Are doctors trained to treat diseases rather than focus on prevention and keeping patients healthy? Mostly yes. Are pain pills addictive and cause problems to many people's lives? Yes. Anyway, a critical thinker can pick up on the pattern of agreement being established. These truths lead you down the path to believing what else this documentary wants you to believe. Do vaccines cause autism? No, absolutely no scientific evidence whatsoever. This information was faked and is still being spread around. Latest evidence is starting to show connection to women who have polycystic ovaries and children born with autism. Does Dr. Bruzynski's cancer tx work? There is no evidence that his tx have been effective contrary to what the film presents. Please read the numerous patient testimonies and feedback regarding this. And of course, the film is pushing chiropractic medicine. Unfortunately the scientific evidence is lacking there. Chiropractic medicine is worth trying first for patients who are considering back surgery to solve their back pain and/or patients who are on a path developing a reliance on addictive pain medicine. Is Western medicine perfect? Of course not, there are many problems with the system and many doctors have let patients down with the approach to push pills and surgery. This film plays on that aspect to convince the viewer of the other false information that the film presents. Any treatment a patient ever receives should be based on scientific evidence whether it is natural, eastern, or western based. I fully support "natural" or "alternative" medical treatments and approaches beyond prescription drugs as long as there is scientific evidence proving its effectiveness.
Very interesting and yet shocking. Actually a must see, in my humble opinion!! The documentation presents historic facts on so called "quakery", media critic and the real facts on chiropractic profession by means of patients, who could be helped, who gained hope again. Did you know, chiropractic professionals are the only MDs who touch their patients?!The criminal influence of the American Medical Association (AMA) is disgusting. They don't care about patients, so it seems, they don't care about health. On the contrary, the industry does their best to create addicts, new addicts, even young children get hooked!!! Unbelievable!!A shame other countries get infiltrated by this kind of industry.Everybody should learn about how the medical industry works, because sooner or later everybody needs to see a doctor for some reason or another....This movie is a start.
