Film: Medical Renaissance - the Secret Code

Press Release:

Medical Renaissance-The Secret Code is an engaging, moving documentary quickly drawing in the audience to the common, frustrating medical dilemmas of the depression of two of its three main characters, Judy and Kevin, and the severe migraines of Rae. 40% of the U.S. population suffers from long-standing depression. Ultimately the film casts a message of hope and practical ideas for those wrestling with chronic medical problems of all kinds.

Conventional drug treatment has failed Judy, Rae and Kevin; two of them have continued to work despite their debilitating problems. The Medical Renaissance audience gets to know them quickly in tightly depicted intimate interviews. The audience then is drawn in closely and sometimes grippingly to their two weeks of intense treatment at a holistic health center. The emotional ups and downs of Kevin, Rae and Judy during this time are unsparing; as the conclusion nears, however, the long-term outlook is hopeful.

Set in summer 2007 amid the pastoral, scenic tranquility of a Midwest treatment center, Medical Renaissance features a cast of well-respected “stars” in the holistic health field including Drs. Caroline Myss, Belleruth Naparstek, Gladys McGarey, Carl Hammerschlag, Roger Cady and several world-renown researchers.

The creative medical force behind the film is C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D. a conventionally trained (Massachusetts General Hospital and Duke University) neurosurgeon with an impressive professional resume. Over several decades, he has treated non-surgically over 30,000 chronically disabled patients with an 85% success rate at his facility, the Shealy Wellness Center. Several of these patients appear in the film; some have remained healthy for as long as eleven years. Their original complaints included migraine headaches, depression, hypertension, and chronic pain from many causes.

After viewing the popular film, What the Bleep Do We Know?, Dr. Shealy felt compelled to answer that question. Medical Renaissance: The Secret Code, a professionally produced documentary, provides audiences hope and practical resources for resolving their personal health dilemmas. Not the least of its messages, Medical Renaissance reveals its “secret code” for a life lived well. The movie will debut at 5:00 p.m. Friday, February 22, 2008 at the Long Beach Health Freedom Expo. The world premier will take place at 7:30 p.m. April 5 at The Springfield Landmarks Trust/ Gillioz Theater.
