I may be dating my self but I believe the county western singer Donna Fargo had TM in the late 70's but think she has gotten quite a bit of return.  The guy on Montel was Allen Rucker.  Nice guy and I enjoyed his book.  He might be someone to contact about contacting Opra, 60 minutes, ect.Larry

Naomi, Thank you! I also wrote to Cody Unser. She and her Mom both emailed me back. Cody is very interested in doing this. I know this has been tried before, but it can't hurt to try again. I think we need to bombard Oprah with requests. Take care, Kevin ps: Here's the Oprah link to

It almost sounds like an allergic reaction to something. You might try an antihistamine (if it's ok with your other medicines) and see if it helps. I had hives (itchy whelps) once while on amoxicillen. I'd taken it with no problem before. It was miserable -- itchy red whelps everywhere --
