Hey all -

Guess what? It appears we DO git Lyme in Texas!!

Members of the Houston support group appeared in a PBS interview a few months ago.

One member in particular was interviewed at length about the 'basics'.

This is a very good educational primer about Lyme disease and both the reporter and the interview subject were quite articulate.

Clearly, the interviewer did her homework and asked some great questions.

AND the GREAT news is that none of the naysayers were interiewed!

FINALLY a story that tells "our" side without hearing all the bull.

Please visit this link; watch the video; and then contact the station thanking them for the story and asking if they would consider passing this along to YOUR local PBS station.

The MORE hits the station gets on this link, the more they realize there is interest in this subject matter!

LET'S SHOW THEM THERE IS INTEREST - NOT ONLY IN TEXAS BUT NATION-WIDE.

It's been said for years that we don't git Lyme in Texas -- but if there's a program talking about Lyme in Texas, maybe others will start to think that maybe there's Lyme in YOUR state too.

HELP!

Get thee to this link:
Living Smart Interview #210

After viewing the program - please send a thank you & a plea for wideR distribution of this program to: [email protected]

BTW - at the end of the program, they give a 'plug' to Lymenet - giving the addy for more info!

Here are some emails which you may use to thank them and beg for wider distribution:

LivingSmart dept: [email protected]
Patricia Gras (the host): [email protected]
John Hesse (General Mgr): [email protected]
Ken Lawrence (Dir. Programs): [email protected]
Ann Crider (Ed/Outreach): [email protected]

All it takes is ONE email from you - copy all those people...then you can feel like you've helped make some progress today.

(And if you haven't signed that LDA petition..you could do that too!)

Thanks in advance for all your interest & cooperation.

Together we can make a difference!

Hugs & [kiss]

It's actually a full television interview, Betty. I'm so sorry it would take you so long to download. I think it's definitely worth seeing.

I sent it to everyone I know. I hope it gives them all some better understanding.

I also just received a brief thank you e-mail from Patti Gras. It made me cry. [Roll Eyes]

I'm glad I took the time to do that.

[Smile]

Thanks again, Wiseass!
