Dallas Buyers Club

Excellent performances - thumbs up.

Matthew McConaughey stars in DALLAS BUYERS CLUB as real-life Texas cowboy Ron Woodroof, whose free-wheeling life was overturned in 1985 when he was diagnosed as HIV-positive and given 30 days to live. These were the early days of the AIDS epidemic, and the U.S. was divided over how to combat the virus. Ron, now shunned and ostracized by many of his old friends, and bereft of government-approved effective medicines, decided to take matters in his own hands, tracking down alternative treatments from all over the world by means both legal and illegal. Bypassing the establishment, the entrepreneurial Woodroof joined forces with an unlikely band of renegades and outcasts - who he once would have shunned - and established a hugely successful "buyers' club." Their shared struggle for dignity and acceptance is a uniquely American story of the transformative power of resilience

in real life........
there was a guy who was given 1-6 months to live
aids
so he was thinking the same way
except more like the bucket list
i've never had real SPICY HOT tai food
think i'll try it....

WELL it improved his condition so much
that he made it permanent in his diet

@ 2 years later .... he ran into some old friends
while OUT JOGGING....that
he hadn't seen for like....... forever
and they couldn't believe how great he looked
unaware of his Health condition... he wished them well
and sped off...

remembered from the book
how to double your immune sytem

Which movie was this?

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
