Dear All TMers, I would disagree with the original e-mail. Barack Obama will be a great president. He has an IQ of 140. He is physically fit. I would direct ypu to Google Colin Powell's endorsement of Obama. I have already voted for Obama, as I'll be here in Montreal through election day. My grandfather- A liberal organizer ( In Canada)- told me to vote early, and vote often!! So get an absentee ballot, if needed, and vote! Thank you for your time. F
Re: [TMIC] Guidelines
The guidelines need to include political messages We are one group united by our common factor TM. but when a member spouts political rhetoric we are divided into the right and the left. There are tons of groups devoted to this type of political banter but only one for TM sufferers! I happen to be very politically active (even volunteering for my party) but I respect the rights of my fellow TM family members to have their Own Opinion politically, I respect that they were not born yesterday, have a lifetime of experiences shaping their views and have a sovereign right to their opinions! keep politics out of this one please!

RE: [TMIC] OT: New Company Policy
Hello all, I rarely post these but do want to comment on the whole Obama issue. I'm with Frank, Obama will be a great president and I suspect the entire world will see him as an improvement. I actually believe that most of the planet would see my cat Nemo as an improvement to the current administration. I also must concur with the view that political rants should go to forums other than the tmic. Otherwise folks would be subjected to rants from socialists such as myself who believe in wild things like publically funded healthcare, good jobs with fair wages, a woman's right to choose, separation of church and state, decent pension plans, good public services for all, a fair tax system where the rich pay their share.I could go on and on but I won't. If I did go on I might slip and say something as political as that, in my view even Obama isn't far enough to the left for medangerous Canadian socialist that I am. So! Let's stick to the pleasant subject like how terrible we feel everyday!!

Re: [TMIC] Guidelines
I would have to disagree. I have yet to see a political post that was strictly informational and documentable that compared without bias, each candidates stand on TM and its survivors. (The issue of abortion is not going to heal my spinal cord!) The only political posts I want to see here are ones regarding health based legislation which will directly help TM survivors that I can then encourage my Congressmen, Senators and president to support!

Re: [TMIC] re:guidelines
It's been generally agreed on in the past that speaking naturally of religion in terms of what helps you in dealing with TM is ok, but inspirational forwards or Bible-thumping is over the line. For many of us we could not make it without spiritual undergirding. To me a request for prayer is a far different thing than slamming someone's political views.

[TMIC] MS drug /maybe??
My daughter saw this article on Yahoo and sent it on to me. Very interesting since some of us have TM/MS I thought you might want to read it... It's certainly an improvement over what's being going on with some of the TM'ers on this list. :) Frank. welcome back!! you certainly arrived with an agenda!!! Now read this article tell us what you think and then have your martini... There is always Hope! Trudy – Researchers at the University of Cambridge said they have found that alemtuzumab, a drug originally developed … LONDON (AFP) – Researchers at the University of Cambridge said Thursday they have found that a drug originally developed to treat leukaemia can halt and even reverse the debilitating effects of multiple sclerosis (MS). In trials, alemtuzumab reduced the number of attacks in sufferers and also helped them recover lost functions, apparently allowing damaged brain tissue to repair so that individuals were less disabled than at the start of the study. The ability of an MS drug to promote brain repair is unprecedented, said Dr Alasdair Coles, a lecturer at Cambridge university's department of clinical neurosciences, who coordinated many aspects of the study. We are witnessing a drug which, if given early enough, might effectively stop the advancement of the disease and also restore lost function by promoting repair of the damaged brain tissue. The MS Society, Britain's largest support charity for those affected by the condition, said it was delighted at the trial's results, which must be followed up with more research before the drug can be licensed. This is the first drug that has shown the potential to halt and even reverse the debilitating effects of MS and this news will rightly bring hope to people living with the condition day in, day out, said head of research Lee Dunster. MS is an auto-immune disease that affects millions of people worldwide, including almost 100,000 in Britain and 400,000 in the United States. It is caused by the body's immune system attacking nerve fibres in the central nervous system, and can lead to loss of sight and mobility, depression, fatigue and cognitive problems. There is no cure, and few effective treatments. In the trial, 334 patients diagnosed with early-stage relapsing-remitting MS who had not previously been treated were given alemtuzumab or interferon beta-1a, one of the most effective licensed therapies for similar MS cases. After three years, alemtuzumab was found to reduce the number of attacks the patients suffered by 74 percent over the other treatment, and reduce the risk of sustained accumulation of disability by 71 percent over interferon beta-1a. Many individuals who took alemtuzumab also recovered some of their lost functions, becoming less disabled by the end, while the disabilities of the other patients worsened, the study in the New England Journal of Medicine said. Alastair Compston, professor of neurology and head of the clinical neurosciences department at Cambridge, said alemtuzumab was the most promising experimental drug for the treatment of MS. He expressed hope that further trials will confirm that it can both stabilise and allow some recovery of what had previously been assumed to be irreversible disabilities. Alemtuzumab was developed in Cambridge and has been licensed for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. _ You live life beyond your PC.

This will serve to give those of you who are underachieving a "fair shake." 2. All low level workers will be pooling their wages, including overtime, into a common pool, dividing it equally amongst yourselves.

Thanks for the update Jenna. I also talked to Pam last night - I guess right after you called - and she is in good spirits, and of course just wants to get the surgery done and start the healing process. She is one strong little lady.
