Director of the Fibromyalgia & Fatigue Centers, Inc.]
We appreciate that Dr. Oz and Oprah are now starting to address the hidden
epidemics of CFS and fibromyalgia, bringing hope to the approximately 12
million suffering and often disabled Americans (mostly women), who till now
have been rendered invisible by our healthcare industry.
Dr. Mehmet Oz, who is wonderful, begins his column by addressing this issue
head on in his brand new O, the Oprah Magazine column. It says volumes that
this is the first topic he chose to cover, and that he began by interviewing
4 key researchers in the field who have very different perspectives, to give
readers an overview. We are also very honored that of the 4, he noted: "I'm
more impressed by Teitelbaum's supplement regimen, and not only because he
has tested his theories: I've put patients on this program with very good
results."

Let's encourage Dr. Oz and Oprah to continue covering CFS/FMS. You can help
by reading the article at the link above, then leaving a note thanking them
covering this topic. Ask friends who have or care about CFS/FMS to do the
same. Oprah's website measures responses to articles, and an outpouring of
positive response will encourage Oprah's team to increase coverage of
CFS/FMS. Let's see if we can move this to their "Top Read" articles
section!
