Ron wasn't sent the original newsgroup post. Jim Brady also posted the same
article as the below to the MS group. Note he is also willing to take phone
calls. Note the focus is on stories. Don.

Newsgroup: alt.med.fibromyalgia
Subject: Oprah Show looking for undetected illnesses

We are interested in hearing from people who had MS, Lyme disease, a thyroid
disorder, leukemia, ovarian cancer, colon cancer or another disease that went
undetected for a long time.

If you or someone you know has been recently diagnosed with a serious illness
after a long time without anyone correctly deciphering the symptoms, please
call me or email back.

We have ample research and good experts, so please understand we are looking
only for actual stories.

Thanks in advance for your help!
