Meryl Streep at her finest - First Do No Harm review by CM
Her son, has epilepsy, meryl seeks an alternative cure, as the 'cure' medication and surgery makes this little boy sick.
Well played as a determined mum taking on conventional medicine.
The 'diet' ketogenic saved this boys life, An old film worth watching!!!
Meryl the absolute queen of actresses
