Re: Please write to Dr. Oz

[Guest guest]

Thank you for posting this, Janet.

I share your concern about the lack of response to this opportunity for national

attention.

I believe that Dr. Oz is specifically wanted to hear stories about those who

have received

treatment and are still having treatment. Hence, we can impact the current

apathy and

ignorance about chronic lyme disease within the medical community.

My best,

Jen

So I'm confused about where to post. I sent an email to the site that

is called plugform, where you can have up to 2000 characters. I also

posted on another site that only allows about 160 characters. This

other site that counts now 72 replies does not have my email, so

which one are they checking? If they're checking all the sites, then

they probably have a lot more than 72 replies...

Do I have to post on this last site (community thread)also?

It's a little annoying.

The thing is that if they would do the show then and only then would

tons of people know what disease they have - he needs numbers well do

the show and see what happens after the show - people would start

coming out of the woodwork - If I would of seen a show about lyme

disease years ago I would of know what was distroying my

family......... millions of people that he wants to hear from have no

idea what they have because doctors have no idea what they have.

I pray they will do a show on this -
