WANTED: Crohn’s End (WCE) is a documentary about people with digestive conditions who use alternatives when nothing else works. They have listened to their gut and are taking a proactive approach to improving their condition. WCE tells patient stories of adversity and triumph while using alternative medicine, such as Helminthic Therapy, diet, supplements like Colloidal Silver and THC Oil. Some are controversial with family and doctors, while others are clearly illegal, but should they be? When the pharmaceutical industry spends twice as much on marketing and advertising than it does on research and development for cures, how can we the patients trust that they have our health in their best interests?
