(Mardy's note... this blog and others ended up causing some ripples for me and Lumigrate in the fall of 2009 because as you can see here/below, I completely cut and pasted the contents of e-newsletters I received like anyone else who has done the symptom analyzer at Dr. Teitelbaum's website and I ended up being copied and send something some women had sent out on facebook actually having edited down what I wrote, said that I had written it as they were sending it out and saying they knew for a fact that the person (wouldn't use my name! LOL) had a website that was selling things!  (Oh, my.... in America, capitalism, Imagine that!).  It turns out they went on to do this to someone else who had a legal team that was taking these things seriously and I just want to remind people about that occurring HERE because those types of statements were false and they were damaging and actually really hurt some people's health.  Which I was very unhappy about and so.... please people, know that I'm reposting this stuff here for people who are looking in the future find the information that can help them.  And just because there were a lot of angry women who felt angered somehow because Dr. Oz and Dr. Teitelbaum didn't talk about 'fibromyalgia' when Dr. T said he would and I'd been repeating what Dr. T had said is just a really important example of the kind of negativity which I do not want to have in any way, shape or form at Lumigrate.com.  I've devoted all my time, energy and money to provide a website with quality information and did it with the opportunity for there to not be advertising involved if that would be what people would support.  Videos for $20 by an OTR might be very different than a clinic like Dr. Ts which people feel doesn't give out their information.  And you know what, that's their business to run the way they do it and I don't agree or disagree or really know that much about it.  I've met Dr. T once and he's a pleasant and knowledgeable man.  So please, go on and learn here, and if you see anything related to these types of things I do appreciate people letting me know so that we can track down the issues and offenders and do damage control.  But ever minute I spend on something unnecessary like that is a minute that I cannot move forward finding quality providers, supporters, information and write more.  Thank you ~~ Mardy)

Your Comments and Posts Worked ;-)

CFS to be on the New Dr. Oz TV Show!!!

My thanks to the hundreds of readers who left a comment at the Oprah website about the Dr. Oz article in the September Oprah Magazine, which discussed fibromyalgia and recommended our treatment approach. A few weeks ago, the producers for the new nationally syndicated Dr. Oz TV show flew me to New York to tape a 12-15 minute primary segment on fatigue, with a special segment on CFS! This suggests the topics of CFS and fibromyalgia are now being tested by Oprah’s production company, and we’ll be seeing more if we keep sending in positive comments!

It will likely play as the first segment of one of the new Dr. Oz TV shows in the next 3 weeks. We’ll send an announcement of the date as soon as we hear.

Stay tuned!!!

Here's a link to Dr. Teitelbaum's website where these letters are on file. 
www.endfatigue.com    This is a great site to keep abreast of and naturally, his book, From Fatigued to Fantastic is 'the granddaddy of them all'.  As is Dr. T!  I'm sure it will be a wonderful segment and I am very happy to see the Dr. Oz/Oprah spotlight start shining on this important and popular topic! 
I suggest everyone takes his free online symptom analyzer and receive the feedback about what you and your doctor could be doing related to where you are at with CFS/FMS and then you'll receive these e-newsletters yourselves.  He's very integrative regarding nutrition, supplements, and medications (and suggested the older/cheaper ones often are just as good or better as the newer more expensive ones!)
 
As always, we like to have people who have thoughts to share for others' reading and knowledge at our Forum area.  I have established many areas for medications and suppelements that have worked and not.  Here's the link for that area www.lumigrate.com/forum.  Thank you for helping us and others learn by writing -- thank you for allowing others to help  you by reading their contributions.  And then certainly, join us on facebook for daily discussions and some FUN if we're doing it right!  www.facebook.com/lumigrate
