On A Scale of 1 to 10; The Silent Epidemic
Chronic Pain affects 1.5 billion world wide – This film takes the viewer on a journey across North America, exploring various holistic therapies, modalities, mind body connections and lifestyle approaches to better deal with this crucial issue. In the process, they’ve interview top experts who often challenge our traditional beliefs around chronic pain and open our minds to our bodies’ innate power to heal. I was one of those experts interviewed and am excited to see the film have its premiere in March 2019 in Canada and June 2019 in Los Angeles, CA.
A message from the producer
“Governments are putting pressure on doctors to reduce or stop prescribing opioids in cases of chronic pain without offering any alternative. This only alienates people who are suffering, and leaves them scrambling to find solutions. With this film, I want to give them hope. We are living in extraordinary times when cannabis is being rediscovered for its medicinal properties all over the world, mind body medicine is getting more and more validated, new therapies are emerging like Floating, sound and light, virtual reality… We are moving away from a Newtonian concept of medicine to Quantum Physics and Epigenetics and we are discovering the power of our emotions and our minds to positively affect our lives.” – Jennifer Unruh, Producer

It was a pleasure working on this film with other great experts and also being apart of their amazing conference in 2018. This film will be helpful for the public as well as anyone seeking solutions for chronic pain. All treatment options are on the table. What you decide to do for the chronic pain condition(s) you are living with should be decided between you and your care team. I am excited the filming portion has wrapped and that the two year journey to create this film is moving onto the next steps of helping others.
