I thought you would be interested in the story of KGTV/ABC Anchor - BROOKE LANDAU. She will be appearing on "Good Morning America" with Diane Sawyer on Tuesday, August 28th. (Most likely between 8-8:30AM but time subject to change).
Brooke says they did over 5 hrs of taping with her in San Diego this week and she thinks it's going to be a FANTASTIC story! She spent a great deal of time talking about the most difficult obstacles we're all facing and the current political/medical controversy, and urged them to include this since it is the MOST important part of the story. On Tuesday she will go live on the set in NYC to discuss the topic further.
Brooke's 12 year battle is almost unbelievable. She literally went to bed fine one night and woke up unable to move from the waist down and neck up -- she wouldn't walk again for over a year and a half. Brooke then lost hearing on one ear, began to go blind, lost her short-term memory, 1/4 her body weight, developed heart problems, spinal menegitis, gall stones, colitis, and a myriad of other problems that finally just resolved this year...after receiving an experimental treatment that was not FDA approved but saved her life. Unfortunately doctors, including Brooke's, are being prosecuted for the treatment of Lyme -- several have lost their licenses!
The story is incredibly important for the millions of others suffering. And now that this horrific disease has affected the President, it seems to be a hot topic of the moment.
Prior to KGTV, Brooke was a producer for the "E! True Hollywood Story", a reporter for ESPN, Evening Anchor for CBS in Arizona and an EMMY winner for a piece she co-produced on her incredible ordeal. She was also a successful high fashion runway model.
Tune in on Tuesday!

Everyone should contact everyone they know on this. They need to know that Lyme is serious business. If you have family/friends that don't get Lyme, maybe this will reach them.
We also need to ask our senators, congressional delegates, and governors to watch. The IDSA is contacting them to tell them NOT to enact legislation on our behalf -- we need to let them know that they are lying when they say that Lyme does not respond to long-term treatment.
Brooke is living proof.
