Today I went to the Durham Fair in CT. It is the biggest fair in the state and THOUSANDS of people pass through. I was all excited when I saw the Hartford Courant with a booth. They were giving away free papers to anyone who signed up for a raffle. 5 responses were included in this issue along with Dr. Phillips's article calling for a medical conference.

Again it took up a whole page. I am so proud of the Hartford Courant. Maybe everyone should write to thank them again for bringing this most crucial issue to the forefront. After all...it's not just what is labeled lyme that is involved but it also includes many of our degenerative diseases.

I am so thrilled that this particular issue was available today because thousands more people will see the paper and this Lyme page than they would have normally.

I was going to ask if it was one of these:
HC

HC-Readers React

But I found what you were talking about:
HC - Steven Phillips, MD

WOW! [Smile]

So, what did the other four letters say?

That's the way to advance things - I like his style. Just stay on the truth for the greater good, and never 'put down' the 'opposition'.

You don't have to if you just hold the issue accountable to the facts and aren't afraid to state them.

I am grateful there were those who wrote letters. Looks like most were from out of state. I want to thank you.

The people's whose letters were posted in the hard copy are Alex Butensky, Maggie Shaw, Phyllis Mervine, Dr. Zemel, Marjorie Tietjen and then a whole section was given to Dr. Phillip's piece which was also online.

YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Author did an excellent job and the letters are fantastic.

Not to worry about the dopes who wrote the bad letters.

Nobody like them anyhow.
