One of our ILADS doctors and Brooke Landau, emmy award winning newscaster, have taped a show on Lyme Disease on Dr. Phil. The show will air on Friday April 13th. Check your local listings. This is a huge breakthrough for our cause. I thank this physician and her courage to bring national attention to this cause.

Wow, I'd like to know who the LLMD is (I know, don't post here). What network is he on? Easy to find out, I'm sure.
Posted by sk8ter (Member # 8671) on :
He is national. here in Los Angeles it will be on CBS at 3 pm on April 13th.

Why can you not post the name when she is going on national television anyways?

I was wondering the same thing
What LLMD is is?
Posted by Milagro (Member # 37023) on :
It's the rules, as I've been told.
You couldn't even post the names of LLMD's that were in UOS if asked.
Seems extremely silly to me, but thems the rules.
Probably shouldn't have posted Brooke Landau's name or Dr. Phils either.
We've got to be careful you know, the IDSA is watching. They probably don't know anything about the Dr. Phil show or who's going to be on it.

Brooke has been amazing at raising awareness!!!! a real trooper.
Posted by seekhelp (Member # 15067) on :
Yes, you can't mention Dr Phil's name. It's not like anyone could find the LLMDs number in the Yellow Pages. Kidding.

That is fantastic!! Thanks for this great news!
Posted by nefferdun (Member # 20157) on :
I just wrote my story on the site MattH gave.
Everyone please post something for Dr. Phil to see so he can announce on his show how many of us have responded.
When you are waiting for rescue and the helicopter flies over, scream!

Can't wait!

Does anyone know if someone from the IDSA side of the argument will be there? Not that I want them there but I would expect Dr. Phil to present a balanced argument.

Not so silly after you see our LLMDS persecuted and comments made about them on a forum used against them. It sounds insane but the other side will use anything they can get their hands on. We can't give them ANY ammunition.

Neither of them treat lyme so there is no problem using their names.
"Among the guests are Lyme survivor/TV weathercaster Brooke Landau, two additional Lyme patients, Lyme-literate doctor B, MD, and the IDSA�s Dr. Paul Auwaerter."
(FYI Not the famous Dr. B that everyone thinks of when they hear Dr. B)
I alsways feel annoyed when I have to listen to the IDSA rhetoric but I'll watch it anyway. Hope it goes well for us.

Posted by TerryK (Member # 8552) on :
Looks like she's talking about the IDSA doctor since he is mentioned in most of the articles she posted.
I'd agree with her.
Posted by RDaywillcome (Member # 21454) on :
Dr. Auwaerter. I thought you would've figured that out but sorry if I didn't make myself clear.
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
I saw the name, but no one above was talking about him, were they?
Sorry if I missed something!
Posted by TerryK (Member # 8552) on :
You are forgiven tutu haha
per my post above "Among the guests are Lyme survivor/TV weathercaster Brooke Landau, two additional Lyme patients, Lyme-literate doctor B, MD, and the IDSA�s Dr. Paul Auwaerter."
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
That's what I get for speed reading a thread! We all know that no IDSA dr is going to say anything good.
I hope Dr Phil sees right thru him. He's good at doing that!
Posted by RDaywillcome (Member # 21454) on :
No Problem. It's o.k.. Posted by RDaywillcome (Member # 21454) on :
A veteran such as yourself, you are totally forgiven.
I should've been more explicit. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Sorry.
