1 HEAL Synopsis Director Kelly Noonan Gores' documentary takes us on a scientific and spiritual journey where we discover that our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions have a huge impact on our health and ability to heal. The latest science reveals that we are not victims of unchangeable genes, nor should we buy into a scary prognosis. The fact is we have more control over our health and life than we have been taught to believe. This film will empower you with a new understanding of the miraculous nature of the human body and the extraordinary healer within us all. HEAL not only taps into the brilliant minds of leading scientists and spiritual teachers, but follows three people on actual high stakes healing journeys. Healing can be extremely complex and deeply personal, but it can also happen spontaneously in a moment. Through these inspiring and emotional stories we find out what works, what doesn't, and why. Rob Wergin uses manual healing techniques on Roger as a means to remove the blockages that prevent him from healing fully.

2 Patty works on Eva with an emotional freedom technique that allows one to go the place of the most feared emotions. Director s Statement People wonder why I did this film. Did you lose someone to cancer? Do you have a serious illness? they ask. Thankfully, I did not have to endure either of these all too common tragedies. I am just passionately curious about understanding how the Universe works and I have a deep desire to help people who are suffering. I have always been curious. About life, about psychology, about science. When I started learning about quantum physics, spirituality, and nutrition in my 20s I became passionately curious about our ability as humans to actively create our life experience. Reading The Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton about 8 years ago, I was elated to find out that we are not victims of our genes, but that our thoughts, beliefs and lifestyle choices are what turn on and off genes. We DO have more power over our lives and health than we have been led to believe! If Bruce s book planted the seed of this film in my heart, it was when I read Dying To Be Me by Anita Moorjani in 2014 that the seed cracked open and the film HAD to be made. After battling Stage 4 lymphoma and slipping into a coma, Anita had a near death experience during which she had an epiphany that FEAR was the cause of her cancer. When her deceased father told her to go back and live her life without fear, she came back into her body and left the hospital CANCER FREE 5 weeks later. With a shift in consciousness and no longer fearing death (or life for that matter), her body healed quite spontaneously. This proved to me the human body is capable of miraculous things. For the past 10 years I ve been increasingly shocked at how common cancer has become and by how many people are taking medication for a chronic illness. I ask myself, has our world become so toxic that illness is inevitable? I refuse to believe we are victims in a hopeless epidemic. Why do some people heal and others do not? This film is about empowering people with awareness about how powerful the mind body connection is. It is about inspiring people to take their health back and not fall victim to the downward spiral of fear that comes

3 with a scary diagnosis. There are so many powerful stories of healing and legitimate scientific evidence that proves the body is capable of healing from virtually any disease. It s a film about possibility and hope. From a storytelling standpoint, I thought it would be compelling to document a few real people on actual healing journeys. It s easy for someone to interview experts and understand the science, but to ride the emotional roller coaster with someone going through the intense pressure of transformation adds a dimension to the very complex picture. I knew it was a risk because, what if one of the people didn t heal? Would that discredit my theory about how powerful mind body medicine is? I had faith that whatever was meant to be revealed on their journeys would ultimately help the audience, so I took the risk. The message of this film is not anti medication or Western medicine. The intention of this film is to raise awareness that our bodies are brilliantly designed to heal and our mind and hearts play a powerful part in the body s ability to do so. With scientific evidence, inspiring stories, spiritual insights, and a dash of humor, I hope to not only help people in need of healing but also help shift the medical model from one of symptom management and surviving, to one of true wellness and thriving.

6 Featured Stories Eva A middle aged single parent, Eva is struggles with mystery illness. Her story exemplifies the current Western approach of throw medication at disease and see what sticks. In HEAL we show the power of a holistic approach that includes thought, mindfulness, deep emotional exploration, sound healing and more. Through Eva s story it becomes clear that this fight-or-flight background stress has been pervasive for years, and there is no quick fix. Eva s case is not a simple Hollywood ending, as the path to her root cause is less travelled for a reason it takes responsibility and time, the opposite of what we, as a society, has been conditioned to disregard and instead, quite often, the suggestion is a quick-fix pill. Liz Liz is a seemingly fit, healthy yoga practitioner whose life is uprooted as she faces Stage 4 cancer. Her scientist brother says You ve been juicing your whole life Liz, this is stage 4, you need to do something different. Through her story, we explore the mystery behind the true cause of her disease and what, if anything, can help save her life. We witness Liz going to a spiritual psychologist in addition to applying Western medicine (chemotherapy). While prepared for death, Liz starts to find miracles. Her conclusion: Emotions, stress, and more need to be considered for true whole healing.

16 Bruce Lipton, Ph.D. (Santa Cruz, California) Bruce Lipton is an internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. Stem cell biologist, bestselling author of The Biology of Belief and recipient of the 2009 Goi Peace Award, he has been a guest speaker on hundreds of TV and radio shows, as well as keynote presenter for national and international conferences. Dr. Lipton began his scientific career as a cell biologist. He received his Ph.D. Degree from the University of Virginia at Charlottesville before joining the Department of Anatomy at the University of Wisconsin s School of Medicine in Dr. Lipton s research on muscular dystrophy, studies employing cloned human stem cells, focused upon the molecular mechanisms controlling cell behavior. An experimental tissue transplantation technique developed by Dr. Lipton and colleague Dr. Ed Schultz and published in the journal Science was subsequently employed as a novel form of human genetic engineering. In 1982, Dr. Lipton began examining the principles of quantum physics and how they might be integrated into his understanding of the cell s information processing systems. He produced breakthrough studies on the cell membrane, which revealed that this outer layer of the cell was an organic homologue of a computer chip, the cell s equivalent of a brain. His research at Stanford University s School of Medicine, between 1987 and 1992, revealed that the environment, operating though the membrane, controlled the behavior and physiology of the cell, turning genes on and off. His discoveries, which ran counter to the established scientific view that life is controlled by the genes, presaged one of today s most important fields of study, the science of epigenetics. Two major scientific publications derived from these studies defined the molecular pathways connecting the mind and body. Many subsequent papers by other researchers have since validated his concepts and ideas.

18 Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, D.C, BFA (Carlsbad, California) Dr. Jeffrey Thompson began experimenting with sound and its effects on the body and brain in 1981 at his Holistic Health Center in Virginia. His experiments involved using exact sound frequencies to make chiropractic spinal and cranial adjustments, to stimulate and normalize organ function, and to balance acupuncture meridians. His clinical research with thousands of patients and volunteers led to groundbreaking discoveries in how sound frequency patterns, built into musical soundtracks, can entrain brainwaves and trigger numerous health benefits. Dr. Thompson continued his scientific clinical research at a graduate school and research center in Encinitas, California, for many years. A member of the faculty, he taught behavioral psycho-acoustics and clinical neuroacoustic therapy courses, recognized by the state of California as part of the core curriculum for the clinical psychotherapy and human science master's and PhD programs.
