Reeve gives eerie relevance to health documentary

..."She was buying Christmas presents for her son that day, and really had a tremendous amount of energy."In her introduction to the first segment of The New Medicine, Reeve tells viewers: "Your emotional state has a tremendous amount to do with sickness, health and well-being.
