About the Project

In 1989, Jim Klages - former cornet soloist of "The President's Own" United States Marine Band - was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, which prompted his early retirement. After years of declining health and unsuccessful medical treatments, Jim tried Gonstead chiropractic treatment, which has reduced symptoms since then. However, Jim was not the only one to suffer from MS. His wife and daughter were also deeply affected. Healed explores the toll that chronic illness takes on its victims and caregivers: medically, emotionally, and in Jim's case, musically. In sum, how healed are Jim and his family from this ordeal?
