Guest guest Posted February 17, 1999 Report Share Posted February 17, 1999 carrie, correct me if i'm wrong, but i thought that's exactly what she doesn't. she had this ex-farmer on her show which resulted in a court case, when the guy was telling truths about the farming industry... but i believe that she'll only do it if there are loads of requests. i'm pretty sure if we all inundate her with that request, she'll eventually wake up to it. just my opinion. love and light claudia --- DeMaio <austinsmom@...> wrote: > > : > > A bunch of us at psoup on the AP board wrote to Oprah last year asking > about featuring attachment parenting as an alternative parenting style. > She hasn't done it yet.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 1999 Report Share Posted February 17, 1999 : That's the only show I've seen of hers that's been like that - this may have been a personal issue with her which is why she did it. I can't see " tons " of people writing in and requesting a show on the farming industry because most people are ignorant. She usually does shows that the " majority " of people want to know about, and AP and vaccs unfortunatly are in the minority. I mean, the other day she did a baby shower one and featured a new intercom that allows you to talk to your baby without having to go into the room!!!! I was SOOOO disgusted that everything these days is so " don't let your baby interfere with your life " oriented, and was very disappointed that she would help perpetuate that mode of thinking. . Can you imagine your baby hearing your voice " long term " and never feeling your prescence?? She has never talked about other modes of parenting besides the norm, although I guess she's talked about alternatives to spanking, etc - but again, it's a personal agenda because she's very anti-abuse, so she can see the " other side " on that.. Oops, this is an AP issue though, not a vaccine one :-) ~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 1999 Report Share Posted February 17, 1999 carrie, i've only ever seen a couple of her shows, and read about her occasionally in the papers etc. but what i'm counting on is the effect a massive write-in would have! considering the massive bullying the government is exercising to get as many people as possible vaccinated, just so that at the end of the day the cash is right, my true belief is that we should try everything we can to get the issue into the media. 20/20 was a brilliant start, and eventually result in more media coverage, but we have to work for it. and, unlike the government & co., we don't use any dirty methods, all we do is try to get this issue, which, no doubt, is in our hearts, for the future of our kids, publicized. and how much effort is it to write to these chat shows, in the age of the internet? it doesn't even cost anything, all we have to do is send a quick e-mail to her. there are nearly a hundred people on this list, out of those hundred, at least half will be on other related lists, plus know a few people personally... if we all do it, if we all ask our friends to do it, if oprah suddenly gets a thousand or so e-mails from people all over the usa, all asking the same thing, she might just start thinking about it. if nothing happens within, say, 3 months, we'll do it all again, and she might just put a show on about the vaccination issue, and we'll be given a chance to speak up. even if she never puts on a show, but she's bound to have friends/acquaintances with little kiddies, and if she mentions this issue, this might get those parents thinking and doing some research. even if it helps in a little way, even if only 10 kids will not be vaccinated because of our effort, then it will be worth it! every little effort helps, and might lead to one less person vaccine-injured, and then it'll be worth it. just my humble opinion. love and light claudia --- DeMaio <austinsmom@...> wrote: > > : That's the only show I've seen of hers that's been like that - > this may have been a personal issue with her which is why she did it.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 1999 Report Share Posted August 11, 1999 Great idea, a. Right now I am currently assembling a media list to help me inform influential members of the media and entertainment, including Oprah, about LPA and individuals with dwarfism. People on this list will receive a packet about LPA and some suggestions for future story ideas. One particular aim of mine is to encourage the media to talk to people with dwarfism about topics beside their stature. (Our members have lots of interesting stories to tell.:-)) I'll let you know what happens. Cara Egan LPA Public Relations Re: Ignorant " average " Parents From: AIS1INFO@... I tried with all my might to get Oprah to do a show on dwarfism. The only thing she has had on the subject is a book from her book club, " Stones from the River. " A novel written by Ursula Hegi. I am reading it as we speak and I suggest it. I have been so into it, it is hard to put down. It has 525 pages. After she read the book and had the Author on, she ran a short segment on a little woman and her daily life. I thought she needed to be enlightened as to the fact that so many babies are born to average statured parents. Because most people still think it does not pertain to them. But all my attempts have failed. Anyone else tried? Let me know. Maybe we can bombard her with e-mail on the subject? a --------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 1999 Report Share Posted August 11, 1999 You know how they always do those " makeover " shows? back to school " makeovers " etc.? Well I would love to see a show where they do makeovers on LP!!! You know there are certain styles that look better on LP than other styles and it would be so great to have designers make clothes to compliment the different body shapes of LP. My daughters (teens) are both LP too, and I've been trying to teach them for the last few years, that some clothes that look good on the 'average' teen doesn't look flattering on them. Designers could discuss clothing styles that would 'camoflage' some features and emphasize and enhance other features. You never see the handicapped / physically disabled on those back to school makeovers and our LP teens often really need some encouragement during those rough teen years in high school. Might even be a good idea to do something similar at an LPA Convention. Reba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 1999 Report Share Posted August 11, 1999 I like this idea too.............good luck with it. Maybe if enough of us who were interested, emailed Oprah and the likes with our interests and career involvement, other than those being centrally related to being just dwarves, then maybe they would listen. I know Oprah has an email addy out there somewhere, that we could all get our hands on...........Ok here it is:- http://www.oprah.com/email-oprah.html I hope you don't mind me doing this Cara, but maybe this would get Oprah's attention also, as well as what you yourself are aiming to do, with PR.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2000 Report Share Posted February 19, 2000 Dear , I watched the Oprah show about explosive kids and felt that she handled the subject with a great deal of sensitivity. I found myself nodding my head and saying " YES " out loud when I heard Dr. Greene talking and other mothers saying things like " go with your instincts " and not just listen to what one doctor might tell you is going on. But I think I agree also with what Dr. Greene meant when he said that violence/inappropriate role models on TV might affect these kids more that others. Yes, they may have been born with tendencies to these behaviors but given the exposure to these negative types of behaviors on TV, they are just more susceptible to taking them on board than other kids. (I am not one of those censorship people..my son watches all sorts of weird things because I know he is OK with it and it actually helps with some of his ert). I guess it is just like anything else in parenting, keep an open mind and access what is best for your child. Since my son was diagnosed with OCD, and my parenting has instinctively changed to meet his needs, I try never, never to judge how other parents " parent " their kids. So I guess that is what Dr. Greene meant in a way...these types of shows might " role off the backs " of some kids, but they might affect other kids in a more negative way. Well, anyway, a lot of what he said made sense to me as did what the other two doctors who wrote The Bipolar Child. I belong to a support group in my community comprised of mothers who have children in Special Education. One of the mothers has been struggling with getting help for her son for the past few years. The psychiatrist they have been seeing has been treating him for ADHD with different meds with no real success. He is extremely explosive. Recently, she met the Drs. who wrote The Bipolar Child at a social gathering and they reviewed her son's case afterwards. It seems that her son may be bipolar as well as ADHD or just bipolar and misdiagnosed for all these years. They have started him on a new med and so far he seems to be improving. I just hope that until there are more knowledgeable doctors out there to treat our children, we have the strength and courage to keep going until we find what we know in our hearts is right for our child. I don't write too often but when I do, I know I just go on and on. Noelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2000 Report Share Posted February 21, 2000 HI Patti: Thanks for the clarification, I didn't think there was any refereed scientific research showing that watching violence on TV increases Bipolar Disorder in children. I have heard anecdotal reports from my kids preschool teachers that violent shows get reflected in the behavior of the kids in school. I think kids acting out what they see on TV, or read in books, or hear spoken about in the community is one thing, but saying these things cause BP is a stretch. I am glad Dr. Greene did not say this. Unfortunately the taping setup did not work on my VCR so I never did get to see the show :-(( Hopefully one day soon the cause of BP and other NBDs will be understood and this will really help how these disorders are treated.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2000 Report Share Posted July 15, 2000 Uma, Great idea! My fathers friends widow, whom I assisted through a rough battle with a malignant brain tumor just flew out from El Paso to Los Angeles to be with Oprah. I needed to call her up to see how stimulating her trip was. I will ask her how to connect with Oprah. I do know that Oprah's web site has an email address for suggestions, but asking Freddie will probably be more effective. I will post the results later.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2000 Report Share Posted July 15, 2000 Hi , I'm thrilled by your interest in this. I will support and help you in any way I can manage within my health boundaries. I can write, do some research, or whatever you would like, but I do have cognitive problems that slow my former skills way down. Thank you so much for looking into this. Before we have talked about sending short personal stories of families and children with CFIDS to Oprah's web site email. The opportunity you suggest is wonderful!!! We can even have a " Remembering Spirit " segment for Oprah. We can easily find families and children with CFIDS/ME through all the groups online. There's that terrific doctor in California who treats CFIDS children primarily and has worked with ADD etc before that. Can't recall his name. Is it Goldberg? Thank you again!
