ok, at first I thought this interview was really pretty bogus, with dr. oz and the guy from under our skin. Dr. oz actually compared us to aliens, and even laughed when the guy said his sister was so sick and on the couch and they couldn't find out what was wrong with her.

I got this email today, going to share it here with you all, as it DOES make sense. I know many of us have written oprah, seemingly unnoticed, but hey, what can another letter hurt, please read:

Colleen Nicholson

Oprah, Dr. Oz and Lyme-VERY IMPORTANT

FYI from Sheila: reposted from another list:

We have just heard that we are on Oprah's radar.... that is a big deal. But

so far, there has not been an impressive enough response to Dr. Oz's show.

We need much more. Get your friends, family, co-workers, doctors, nurses,

anyone and everyone you know to write Dr. Oz. There are Lyme groups around

the world -- everyone needs to be passing this info along and getting

everyone to email in. Can everyone post it everywhere.. email in. Can everyone post

it every friends and people who know what you are going through to contact

Oz.

Getting on Oprah would be a very huge deal.

Here is the info again:

EMAIL DR. OZ:

Try this link:

https://www.oprah.com/plugform.jsp?plugId=495

It worked for me. I think the extra on the end in Jaime's might have been the problem, not sure why it showed up like that.

Also, I noted that some people had trouble getting their emails to go through so be prepared. The server gets bogged, also shorter messages sound like they go through more easily, but don't know for sure yet, but it does list a 2000 character maximum so I don't know if some people were going over that perhaps. Still working on mine. Wink

Oh, you're most welcome, glad to help!

I think every little bit helps, absolutely! With every added voice, the volume gets louder, right? Don't discount yourself,.. EVERYbody's voice matters in this. Wink

PLEASE PLEASE when you're emailing these people include major facts, you can find some in the fact section. I would hate for this to be a "fluff" show. include that thousands are undiagnosed, misdiagnosed, that over 300 medical conditions can be related to lyme, etc....what we need is Bruscanno to go against Wormser, even Raxlen is a good one and Jemsek, let's get Wormser in his little old hole he belongs in!
