Part III, "Healing from Within," examines preventive medicine, meditation, support groups, and lifestyle in patients with serious illnesses, including AIDS.
"The Art of Healing," the fourth segment of the documentary, looks at the doctor/patient relationship and the role of education in healing. The last part, "Wounded Healers," explores the difference between being cured and being healed at a visit to the Commonweal Cancer Self Help Program in Bolinas, California.
