jw, good deal!
Tonight could be anytime with people replying to your post....so to not confuse folks, could you edit/PENCIL icon your post.
Go to topic line, add 6-22-06, 8 pm Eastern! Now, we know it's tonight & WHAT TIME so we can program our VCRs or make sure we're sitting down watching it.
Thanks again for this up; many here have this, and I hope they are able to read this.
I know of someone I will sent this info too since I don't know if she reads the board daily.
I hope others who know these patients will forward this info too! Thanks everyone.

Hi Betty, Thanks for the guidance. Hopefully, the Paula Zahn program will offer a balanced and informed approach that will give Lyme folks a yardstick to compare their symptoms with those who have Morgellons.
For now, reports indicate that more than 90% of those with the Morgellon symptoms test positive with Lyme disease.
At the least, Morgellons victims may get some much needed recognition and valida- tion, not just the usual callous DOP diagnosis from 10 paces away.

Hi John,
Also tonight, Morgellons is on Coasttocoastam, and JeffRense.com, so I guess it's really starting to pick up momentum.
It should also call more attention to Lyme disease as well.

Morgellons pre-empted by domestic terrorists, who are a threat to no one and have already been apprehended.
For some reason that disappoints me. My priorities must not be in order. Maybe another time.

Write to the show and tell then how you feel. I did. I couldn't believe they filled an entire hour with nonsense! I was really looking forward to seeing what they woudl do on Morgellons.

Hi Bettyg, It's interesting that the same video on Morgellons was also on CNN.com:
It's the first really balanced report that I've seen-- the naysayer (who sounded much like a duck) was NOT credible.

Glad they did the piece, I wish I had gotten to see it.
But you would think CNN transcripts would atleast have the names spelled correctly. Huh?
It seems there are about 400 more households registered on the MRF site since it aired.
Glad it didn't keep mentioning delusional over and over like every other report has in the past.
Good job, CNN!

Hi Gael, I missed the interview with Cliff Mickelson, Greema, and another Morgie. Someone said it went so well that it will air again this coming Wednesday.
Most of our herbal success is posted in the General Health section of Lyme- Busters. Here is a thread on Herbal Treatment that gives most of the details:

John, thanks for the link; watched it that way, and forwarded to those on my lyme list. Thanks for sharing. Bettyg Posted by snowflake (Member # 8950) on :
Thanks for posting the link to the CNN story. I was surprised they didn't mention the possible Lyme / Morgellons connection.
What is with this COLUMBIA duck?? Fallon, get rid of that duck at Columbia who doesn't believe in Morgellon's. "All in their heads." Geesh, sounds familiar.
