ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The trailer for the new short film, "The Cause is the Cure," was released today by Maximized Living, a multinational network of wellness doctors.

The short film, which tells the true stories of people who have successfully overcome cancer diagnoses without chemotherapy or radiation, will premiere October 5 at more than 450 Maximized Living locations throughout the United States and Canada.

In the film, real patients who had been blindsided by their cancer diagnoses explain their fears, decisions and other experiences while fighting the notorious disease—including why they chose to refuse conventional medical therapies. These patients will be surprised with a grant for one year's worth of Maximized Living care, courtesy of the Maximized Living Foundation.

"I was given one year to live if I didn't choose to do chemotherapy or radiation," said Andrea Thompson, founder of Moving Beyond Ministries and cervical cancer survivor. "After learning the principles of Maximized Living, I knew I was in the right place."

The principles of Maximized Living are its 5 Essentials, which specifically address stress, nutrition, fitness, nerve supply and toxicity.

Instead of demanding a drastic lifestyle overhaul, the 5 Essentials empower people to make subtle and sustainable lifestyle changes that have an immense positive impact on their health, both short- and long-term.

"Research has shown that you can reduce your chances of getting cancer as well as dramatically increase your chance of overcoming it if you're dealing with this disease already," said Dr. Ben Lerner, New York Times best-selling author and co-founder of Maximized Living.  "By making proactive, intelligent lifestyle changes, the average person can significantly reduce their risk of contracting this notorious disease."

Showings of the film will coincide with Maximized Living's official makeover-style event entitled, "Be a Cancer Killer." This event is open to the public and will demonstrate how people everywhere can utilize the 5 Essentials to boost quality of life and avoid illness.
