In this documentary, directed by Bert Marcus and Cyrus Saidi, they gush about the genre’s milestones and metaphorically high-five one another while trying not to bore the uninitiated into a drugless stupor.

In my case, I longed for the drugless sleep I enjoyed before I began having to take the sleeping pill Ambien. Ambien can cause amnesia, confusion, missteps and falls.

And when it is generally known that most of a physician’s medicines are given as placebos, do you wonder that the claims of “drugless healers” receive such serious consideration?

Sleep is the only drugless manner in which to temporarily release oneself from a troubled mind, providing of course, that the subconscious does not wreak its own havoc through the presence of nightmares.

If more people knew of the research supporting the effectiveness of such drugless, low-cost therapy, I’ll bet we wouldn’t be seeing the other Times stories covering the scary emergence of “superbugs” and resistant viruses.
