Always Proceeding with Caution--

July 6, 2007

Hi all--

I was upset by some of what was said in the whole Yasko debate (I

am not going to say who or what as I detest getting into lengthy

enegry draining diatribes).

I, however DO wish to make a point here about something I saw in a

well respected magazine (extremely excpensive to advertise in by the

way)in which most ads are for handmade cashmere sweaters and such.

The magazine does offer excellent journalism which is why I read it

although it has risen in price to be beyond my means.

As some of you may know, the woman who authored the book (from

which the movie was made)Seabiscuit did write an article for this

magazine (the magazine is called The New Yorker). The article was

superb and told her story of the illness, how she was able under

great duress to write the book and how she still struggles with the

illness.

I had been seeing Dr Enlander for not all that long at the time,

but I DO remember inquiring about this ad which they ran in that same

issue. The ad said that the doctor running the ad could 'cure chronic

fatigue syndrome in just 6 weeks!' The 'doctor' in question was none

other than Dr Teitlebaum.

Anybody here who was 'cured' by him in ANY amount of time raise

your hands!

Note; this article was in the same year that Seabiscuit came out;

most likely the same week --weekly magazine-- as it's premiere or

shortly after. He has clinics now and I have read some very mixed

reviews about the experiences of people who visit them on another

board. (CF Alliance if I am permitted to mention the board here.)

I would never visit his clinics even if someone decided to PAY for

all costs; my own health is too precious to me.

Our systems are all different as are the drugs and the amount of

activity we can tolerate. Some therapies work better for some more so

than others and that is simply how it seems to be .. so far.

I am still trying to be an optimist, ok? My brains are not quite

so scrambled some of the time, I do not HURT as much, and I do not

doubt it is due to my doctor. He really does take in what each case

presents as I am sure many of the doctors out there who are dedicated

to this do.

Thanks for reading this--

Jane, the one with the hound
