In the 1920s, former coal miner Harry Hoxsey claimed to have an herbal cure for cancer. Although scoffed at and ultimately banned by the medical establishment, by the 1950s, Hoxsey's formula had been used to treat thousands of patients, who testified to its efficacy. Was Hoxsey's recipe the work of a snake-oil charlatan or a legitimate treatment? Ken Ausubel directs this keen look into the forces that shape the policies of organized medicine.

2023

SeriesDocumentary

Changing of the Gods focuses on the “world transits” of the planets Uranus and Pluto, which together archetypally reflect “revolutionary transformation.” Each time these planets have come into axial alignments, a zeitgeist has manifested on Earth in concentrated periods of revolution, upheaval, and social breakthroughs that have changed the course of world history. About the Series During these periods, observers regularly see massive transformations in the areas of scientific and technological innovation, social and economic justice, women’s rights movements, black liberation movements, and the emergence of new paradigms that change how we view ourselves and reality as a whole.   Sound familiar? The last time it happened was the 1960s.   What is the revolution today? What is the transformation?
