With doctors and conventional medicines unable to help long-term, Joe turns to the only option left, the body's ability to heal itself.

FAT, SICK and NEARLY DEAD is an inspiring film that chronicles Joe's personal mission to regain his health. In the mirror he saw a 310lb man whose gut was bigger than a beach ball and a path laid out before him that wouldn't end well- with one foot already in the grave, the other wasn't far behind. 100 pounds overweight, loaded up on steroids and suffering from a debilitating autoimmune disease, Joe Cross is at the end of his rope and the end of his hope.
