Please write to Dr. Oz

[Guest guest]

I received this message on my local Lyme email list and wanted to post it

here. I wrote to Dr. Oz. Please do so if you are reading this!

I am concerned that not enough people have commented on Oprah's Dr. Oz

forum page. I just visited the site to make sure that the comment I

wrote last night was approved by the monitor and posted - and their are

only 34 comments! I remember someone saying that Dr. Oz wanted to see

how many emails or letters he would get about the topic after his radio

show to base whether or not he would try to get Oprah to do an TV show

on Lyme.

Maybe people are writing letters/emails directly to Dr. Oz and/or Oprah,

but if the low number of comments on Oprah's " community forum " is any

indication of the number of letters going directly to them, then we are

in trouble... I personally wrote a direct letter to Dr. Oz and then

posted almost the same letter on the community forum page.

There are thousands of us chronic Lyme patients! This is our biggest

and best opportunity to get massive media attention, but I feel we have

to convince them with numbers - that this is a huge problem that

deserves their attention. As we all know, Oprah and her show is no

stranger to personal tragedies, but I believe it is the number of our

tragedies that will most influence their willingness to give us a forum.

I don't want to see this opportunity pass us by - as there probably

won't be another train coming by like Oprah's for a long time...

Here is the link to email Dr. Oz directly:
