Cori explains her choice: "Memoirs and poetry offer a departure from the often dry, journalistic approach to very difficult subjects.

Sometimes, subjects lose their humanity without the use of a different format. I choose this combined format of spoken word audio, visual text, and pictures to help reveal a more complex level of detail."

On one level, "Through the Shadows" is a scathing indictment of allopathic medicine. On another, it is a rare, vivid glimpse into a life affected not just by one poison, but by a root philosophy that threatens everyone.

While speaking to her past, Cori lays before us the very early discoveries of a world slowly losing its authenticity and sets light to the grotesque manifestation this world has become.
