You know, I have been mulling this today. One of
the things that sticks in my mind is that Montel raises the issue of the small
number of reported MS cases. I think he criticized the number of like 350,000 in
the US. Its a number like that that he disputes as being lower than
reality. Anyway, he maintains the federal govt reports a low number so it does
not have to prioritize MS for funding and research.
My point here is the we are under the "MS
umbrella" according to Dr. Brian Weinshenker of Mayo Clinic and presenter at the
TM symposiums. It was Weinshenker who did my second opinion and he does a
very good job describing TM and other neuro syndromes and diseases that parallel
MS. If Montel did a show that recognized all the MS 'like' diseases people
would see the whole spectrum.
I think we can all benefit from the same
research. Its more about the similarities than differences. In the
old days we would probably all have an MS diagnosis. Now with technology
and all we have more specific names.

Dr. Kaplin is on the board of medical advisors to
the Transverse Myelitis Association (TMA) and the Montel Williams MS
Foundation. Maybe he could do something to get Montel to do a show on
TM.

write to Montel during that time frame, perhaps that would be more
beneficial than a few straggled throughout the year.

That is an excellent idea!!! If he will put a dog on
that lost it's front legs and walks in the upright position, I would HOPE
that he would give us a shot. Let me know if anyone has
tried.

Hi,
Since
Oprah has ignored all requests sent in the past,has anyone approached the
Montel Williams show?Since he has MS,maybe he would be interested in
having a show on TM.Just a
thought.
