Special
showing of the film “Doctored” explores the broken healthcare system.  Rhode Island premier.

 DATELINE: NEWPORT, RI…

 Your food, your medicine, and your healthcare have all
been "doctored" according to this documentary film of the same title.  “Doctored” is scheduled for a special showing
at the Jane Pickens Theater, 19 Touro Street, Newport on Tuesday, September 24,
7 p.m. Admission is $10.  This is the
Rhode Island premier of this breakthrough movie.

This film is brought to you by a group of local concerned
several local Doctors of Chiropractic and the Chiropractic Society of Rhode
Island.  The movie follows patients and
healthcare providers struggling with a broken healthcare system.

This screening is also sponsored by The Green Grocer, A
Market, and two chiropractic suppliers - Dee Cee Labs and Foot Levelers, Inc. Local
chiropractors who helped sponsor the event include Dr. Michael Gottfried of
Aquidneck Chiropractic; Gordon Gibson of Easton Pond Chiropractic, Alan Post
Chiropractic Health Services and Ron Marsh of Ronald Marsh, DC.

There will be a short introduction to the film and a
voluntary 15 minute question and answer session at the end.

The film explores some common healthcare myths, including
“Your back pain will require SURGERY”, “Without these pills, you face life-long
PAIN” and “Your child’s behavior requires MEDICATION”.

Doctored reveals the unseen tactics of these
“influencers” in an investigation that leads to the highest levels of the
American Medical Association (AMA) and reveals an alarming portrait of
deception and criminality. Along the way we wonder: Is much of what we “know”
about modern medicine just slick marketing from companies that profit when
we’re in pain (or by putting us in pain)? Why aren’t we being told about the
successes of natural therapies? Why do so many people think chiropractors are
“quacks,” nutritional supplements a waste of money, and acupuncture a fringe
therapy?

Is it because the “Medical Monopoly” spends millions a
year attacking, ridiculing, and trying to discredit these natural therapies?
The answers are almost beyond belief, until Doctored takes us into the
courtroom with five chiropractors who, having been labeled “an unscientific
cult,’ fought back and won a landmark verdict. Because of their bravery, the
medical industrial complex is no longer blocking access to safe natural
alternatives, pill popping is giving way to preventative care, and purveyors of
sickness are being shoved aside, resulting in a healthier life.

Seating is limited to 300. Tickets can be purchased at
the theater’s website, www.JanePickens.com
or at the door.  Parking is available
both behind the theater and on street.
