Every day millions of people are diagnosed with a chronic disease. With the best of intentions, doctors prescribe medication, diet and lifestyle changes, or surgery, but are often unable to offer reasons or cures for the disease. The Connection considers whether there is a missing link in our approach to healthcare and reveals that modern science is demonstrating a direct connection between our minds and our health. The film features the world's leading scientists, researchers, writers, and physicians, as well as notable true stories of people who added mind-body medicine to their prescriptions and recovered from severe back pain, heart disease, infertility, cancer and multiple sclerosis. American experts featured in the film include Dr. Herbert Benson, Jon Kabat Zinn, Dr. Dean Ornish, Dr. Esther Sternberg, Dr. David Spiegel, and Dr. Andrew Weil.
