Below is an email sent to me that was written by a person named Krista in TN.
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:
