Summary

The Big Secret is the latest work by five-time Emmy Award-winning producer Alex Voss and multi award winning film maker and integrative physician, Dr. Susan Downs. What started as a personal journey to regain his health, Alex came face to face with with the sad reality concerning the influence that big money has on our health and well being. The Big Secret looks at the history of medicine in the US and the influence that wealth and power have on the decisions that your doctor makes concerning your medical care. This shocking documentary is the result of research and personal interviews with leading experts in the fields of medicine and nutrition. "Our goals," says Voss and Downs, "are to empower people with knowledge and start a conversation that will ultimately lead to life-saving changes to our personal health, and reform in our healthcare system." The Big Secret is only the beginning.
