Buena Vista Home Video First DO NO HARM

Very good movie - was amazing what the mother found out available for her childs epilepsy to try before putting his life on the line with surgery. Drugs may help with things but not work & there's so many side effects which can be as big a problem or worse. I have had a bit of my brain removed for the hope of my epilepsy to stop - it hasn't. Thankfully, as scared as I was I didn't die, I didn't end up in a nursing home but I got put on so many medicines afterwards that they wouldn't try before it. Still had 4/5 a week & all the side effects that I don't want to live with. While trying to figure out what to do myself I saw the end of this movie on our tv station - I ordered it to see it. Amazed by this family & by the diet I have never been told of, I'm reading up on the diet & will give it a try - anything! When I mentioned it my specialist - she wasn't surprised - she knows of it (doesn't think I'll be able to do it) but I've seen her since I was 15 months old, I'm now 39 & never, ever has that been mentioned or tried. Very angry. Something like this would be good to try before brain surgery & the dangers involved there. Glad I got the movie & glad they told their story. Worth it :) "...First Do No Harm"

a very wonderful truth, is reported in this DVD, Big Phama, and the Medical Industry are hidding behind their pretence of Medical Cures through their Treatments and Vacinnes that are the problem of all medical problem today. Not only do their Medical Books and Papers state that cancer can be cured. And at the same time they say to you give me mony so i can fight this cancer, take this vaccine, so you will be healthy? But, do they tell you that ALL vaccines have, "MSG + ALUMINIUM + FORMAIDEHYDE + MERCURY" ask them and they will denigh all this, but in their Medical Books and Papers it will state that they lie to you. they did to me. and i do NOT get sisk, for i do what all people should do and that is, keep away from medical lies and drugs, treatments, for "IT IS A MEDICAL FACT THAT CANCER CANNOT EXIST IN THE BODY THAT HAS AN EFFICIENT 'IMMUNE SYSTEM'"and as for the children, they are giving vaccines to babies? and all Side Effects of treatment are killing them. NO MEDICAL TREATMENT SHOULD HAVE SIDE EFFECTS! when you have Side Effects it is your body telling you it shoud NOT be in your body. (and I will challenge any medical Treatment that TOXIFIES the body)

I first watched this movie years ago, it touched me, but at the time I had no idea how deeply it would touch me in the future. A few years after watching this movie my 2 year old son suddenly began having seizures, 100's of them. He went through excactly what First Do No Harm portrays, drug reactions, personality changes, near death experiences, non stop seizing...it was a nightmare. Then I remember this movie. I began researching the Ketogenic Diet, I talked with our specialist about it only to be told the diet was too difficult and it could not be done. I did not give up, I went to another doc and asked for my son to begin the diet. A few short weeks later my son was fasting, and I was weighing every bite of food that he consumed, mainly cream, oil, butter, etc...it was our miracle diet. after 2 weeks of the diet my Luke laughed for the first time in months! I'll never forget that day.First Do No Harm is a perfect movie and everyone should be blessed to watch it, it certainly gives an inside view to the world of severe epilpesy. Praying for all those affects with epilepsy.

This film proves that alternative medicine is sometimes a better tool to use than conventional medications in treating seizure disorders. Thank God that neurologists at the world famous Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Baltimore are willing to try such alternatives rather than life -threatening brain surgery (as doctors in Kansas City wanted to perform on poor Robbie ) when conventional medications fail to halt a patient's seizures. I have this film in my library. I have had seizures, too, but an anti seizure drug thankfully stopped them. Mine were grand mals. I have not had one in over 27 years. I thank God for that. I almost died!This film also shows that SOME PHYSICIANS love to throw their weight around with a sorry arrogant attitude of "HOW DARE YOU QUESTION ME!!! I'M THE DOCTOR AND I KNOW WHAT'S BEST!!!"

NON SI VEDE NIENTE

実際にあったお話で､メリルストリープの迫真に迫る演技が、素晴らしく思いました。大変な困難を乗り越えて行くシーンはとても心を打たれました。ヒポクラテスのFast　do　no　harmと言う言葉も強く印象に残り､自然に関する仕事をしていますが、植物にも通じると思いました。

A wonderful film portrayed by a equally wonderful actors. It is a very emotional film & a true story so beware some of you mums, because I am sure you will shed a few tears. I will not begin to explain the film details because it would be very easy to ruin the film completely, so buy it & watch it, not so much a film more an experience. The only real part worth a huge plug is wherever you live, lets say in the Western civilization, don`t complain too much about your health services. They may need improving, they may need an enormous injection of money, they may need a big kick with an even bigger boot, but if you for think for one moment that America has got it all right, then think again Gungerdin. ( not too sure if this is correct spelling, but i`m sure you get my drift ) !!!!!! John Crouch.

Heartwarming actress Merryl Streep plays the mother of an epileptic child. Movie shows the fateful experience of the family with a disregarding medicine and ignoring doctors. Fortunately this story has a happy end. I assume many many families are not informed by their doctors about this drug free chance of healing or at least improvement of epileptic condition.
