Nancy, Even, and Lucas Korn

The story of a mother desperately trying to save her son and a doctor passionately trying to save humanity. The journey of a boy with autism.

Nancy Korn had one dream in life—to become a mother. She and her husband Evan wanted a big family. After six years of trying, they finally got pregnant and gave birth to a healthy little boy, Lucas. His development was normal. But when he approached his first birthday, Lucas began to act strangely. By age two, Lucas was diagnosed with autism. Nancy and Evan were devastated.

They set out on a mission to bring their son back. Finding few answers in conventional medicine, they turned to alternative therapies. Some helped. Nothing cured. Lucas was still autistic. He still could not talk. One day, Nancy read about a doctor in Los Angeles who was using a centuries-old medical system, homeopathy, to treat autism. The physician, Dr. Luc De Schepper— affectionately known as ‘Dr. Luc’ — is a medical doctor, licensed acupuncturist and homeopath, an author of 15 books, and a respected teacher and lecturer worldwide. Despite his impressive credentials, the method—and the doctor—were controversial. But Nancy had a feeling. A week later she and her mother-in-law found themselves flying across the country to meet with Dr. Luc. After starting homeopathic treatment, Lucas begins to improve. The film follows their story over the next year to see if Lucas becomes free of his autism.

Dr Luc De Schepper. Growing up in Belgium, Dr Luc had a difficult childhood which planted in him the seed of caring for the underdog. He has devoted his life to helping those who are suffering. Driven, he became a licensed MD in three states and two countries, a licensed acupuncturist and homeopath in Europe and the United States, an author of 15 books, and a respected teacher and sought after lecturer worldwide. Laced with compassion, brilliance and intensity, his account of love for homeopathy is infectious.

Marc Wishengrad, a New York City filmmaker, who had been documenting various forms of medicine around the world, turned the camera on himself when he contacted the potentially lethal “Super Bug” or MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.)

Samuel Hahnemann the founder of homeopathy in the 1800’s was a true visionary. Some think he may be the greatest genius in medical history. Although there are many books written about him, Hahnemann’s story has never been told on film. With the use of  animation, he will be brought to life.
