Conference

[Guest guest]

Robin,

I saw on CNBC last night...the Live..( I have no idea how to spell

his name), but he had a special about mental illness of all degrees, even

depression, where the doctors only wanted to put people in a home and not

try to find a drug to treat them with. He also had Tipper Gore on there. She

is in with the mental health division now. This might be another good idea

for an invitation. If they don't want to come, with their interest in these

kinds of problems..it might just be another way of getting the word out.

Especially when we have so many of our loved ones being diagnoised with

depression, or some have been admitted to mental wards, or doctors being

afraid of giving them strong drugs for aggitation or hulluciations, in " fear

that they would become addicted to them " . There might be a lot of cases that

these people that actually had CJD. The medical field really needs to

educate themselves on CJD. The symptoms of this disease mimicks many, many

different diseases, before being diagnoised. If I had the time to work with

this, I would send them, but they really need someone to talk to if they are

interested in coming. Just a thought!
