Plot

In the heart-wrenching narrative of "First Do No Harm," Lori Reimuller finds herself embroiled in a desperate fight for her young son Robbie's life, who is suffering from the debilitating condition of epilepsy. Initially, Lori places her faith in the experienced hands of the hospital staff, but Robbie's rapidly deteriorating health forces her to question the efficacy of their methods. Consumed by desperation and frustration, Lori dives headfirst into the vast ocean of medical literature, seeking alternative treatments. She stumbles upon the Ketogenic Diet, an unconventional approach pioneered by a visionary doctor from Johns Hopkins. Yet when she proposes this alternative, she is met with stringent resistance from Robbie's obstinate doctor, who is hell-bent on pursuing his preferred treatment pathway, even if it means resorting to legal measures to keep Robbie within the hospital's grasp. "First Do No Harm" is a compelling critique of the medical profession's often one-sided approach to treatment options. The film is punctuated by the poignant performances of several minor characters, who are portrayed by individuals whose lives have been dramatically transformed, even cured, by the Ketogenic diet. This movie serves as a beacon of hope for those who dare to challenge conventional wisdom in the pursuit of health and happiness.
