I agree-if you watched the "uncensored"" part, he talks about how it's in insurers best interest to deny chronic lyme, so they only have to pay for 30 days.
I thought it was a good show.

I disagree....I felt the girl on the stage came accross like she was an addict. The other two were totally credible I wish they would have done a more in depth look into them.

My computer is ancient. I wish I could have seen the "uncensored" part.
He is clearly on the side of Chronic Lyme.

I don't believe the model came across as a drug addict at all. She's ill and she needs help.
Spent $70,000 and all the help she is getting is la la gas? That is so sad.
TBTG that Dr B from the show is going to help her pro bono. Miracles happen everyday and today we seen one.
I don't believe that young model would have been around much longer stuck in her lyme hell.
So sad!!!!!!!!!!

I think featuring the girl who is taking the pain meds was to help people understand how painful this disease is and how desperate they can become, especially when they can't afford treatment.
Dr. Phil asked the LLMD to treat this girl "pro-bono", and the doctor agreed.

Did you hear the amount she's taking of the whippits daily? She sounds addicted. Is that even legal because if it's not her credibility went out the window. Im not saying she's not really experiencing these things. Im in pain too, i totally understand that aspect.
How does it look to totally healthy people who've never heard of lyme? I worry that came accross wrong. That plus the amount of time Dr. Phil spent on whether she was "faking" her seizures..even asking how come she's screaming during them.
The other two guests and the doctor B was amazing!

Whippits are not illegal. It's the same gas that's in a can of "Ready Whip". Hence the name Whippit...
I have one of those steel canisters for making whipped cream. I use a whippit cartridge for that.

I haven't seen the show yet, but it sounds like there was "some" good information and just not enough indepth information/time given.
Why not FLOOD Dr. Phil's website with comments to get him to look at devoting an entire show to the issue!!
It may have not been perfect, but it is a start and maybe we can get some momentum out of this for the good!

I think that Dr Phil has done the best job of anyone on any kind of talk show, ever, who has discussed chronic lyme.
PLEASE go to his website and sign up and leave a positive comment for him (He said he reads them!) and encourage him to do another show tackling the subject of the political/financial/insurance/conflicts of interest aspects of the chronic lyme issue.
I agree that Dr Phil is clearly on the side of chronic lyme, so lets be positive and encouraging....he had the guts to talk about this when no one else would on their talk shows.
I think that the Johns Hopkins Dr looked discredited.
