Hey guys….PLEASE register at the Oprah Winfrey website and let her know how much you would like to see her do a show on Lyme disease. Dr. Oz thinks the “UNDER OUR SKIN” documentary is wonderful but a show about Lyme won’t be done unless she sees lots of interest. Request that LLMDS and patients be the guests so that we can be heard. Also, Daryl Hall would make a great guest. WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER !
God Bless,

Chemtrails are destroying the biological nutrients, supporting all plant life, and weaking immune systems. Do your research. It is complicated, if you do not educate yourself. Many people, carry this, and do not get sick. A weakened immune system allows for it to wreak havoc in the first place. Chemtrails are a valid issue. They are not a “Conspiracy Theory!” And it is a bit more complicated, than a bacterial infection. Arrogant idiot.

Thank you for having the courage and compassion for speaking out about this disease. It is so widespread. Thanks again, please stay with this fight for everyone who is suffering from this disease. Bless you.

No…it is a bacterial infection transmitted through insects. Don’t try to make things more complicated than they already are, please. The Lyme situation is politicized enough.

Has anyone considered? that the heavy spraying of Chemtrials, may have contributed to our susceptability to Lyme Disese?

This is well done. There are answers… search “chronic lyme disease success story” and watch the videos. Only people who beat lyme can show you the way. Keep looking creatively until you find answers. There are answers, but maybe not where you would expect them. If a mainstream medicine can’t do the job, then you’ve got to look elsewhere.

A dear friend from high school had Lyme disease and ended up having to drop out of school and live as a recluse at home. She gave up her dream of pursuing her dream of studying Shakespeare because of this horrible disease. This is an incredibly beautiful and truthful speech on the disease. Thanks to Ms. McDonnell for using her celebrity to bring this to the light.

I think this video of Mary Mcdonnell was very informative and says a lot regarding Lyme Disease and it’s debilitating effects on “all” person(s) involved. Thank you, Thank you, Thank You for her and every other person(s) support in fighting this horrible, sad, and sometimes forgotten ‘chronic’ disease.

Thank you, Mary, for using your celebrity to shine a light on something that we are far too ignorant about. As a chronically ill person who always has to justify my illness to everyone, I am so grateful for such a powerful and intelligent presentation. Mary is amazing.

Thank you Mary. More people that are able need to take a stand. For my area, I made up a comprehensive brochure that was approved by 2 Lyme specialists. I was overwhelmed by emails requesting a brochure. Currently, I am in the process of having this brochure scanned so I can start email to anyone interested. Whatever you can do to educate others, do it. Neighborhood meetings, church gatherings, etc. Direct people interested in Lyme disease to youtube as this is a great resource.

go get’em Mary! I want to become an avid Lyme Disease advocate like you as soon as I have enough energy and immunity to fight the non-believers. I had Lyme Disease for a minimum of a year before being properly diagnosed and treated. I’m still undergoing treatment. I made a believer out of my primary doctor after seeing an ILADS physician, but there are many more to crack on the mis-conceptions they are taught in medical school and by the medical community such as the CDC. Go Mary!

Im going through this now, it took me two years for diagnosis. Now im being treated but Noone thinks I have it except for my lyme doc and me, it sucks because im almost out of money. I can’t afford to be sick, I don’t know what to do, and noone wants to help me out because of what other doctors said, its all in my head or it only takes 30 days on the IV what a joke.

Thank you for showing this video. My husband is in the hospital now after he stopped breathing and had to be put on a ventaltor. He’s off now and conscious. Diagnosed with Lyme two years ago, after eight years of misdiagnoses and 48 doctors. Hospital knows nothing of Lyme and thinks we are nuts when we know more, all tests of course show nothing..because it is due to Lyme. Thank you Mary!!!

The truth is that many of our docs who are lyme competent have HAD the disease. We are glad they are there but that is the truth. Our medical system is broken…. from poor science due to politics. Socialized medicine will only make it worse… You won’t be able to get care even if you pay out of pocket… practicing “outside the system” will be ILLEGAL! If you know anything about goverment, know it is all about politcis and nothing about the stated task.

Shock, that 9 year old girl is being told that she has depression or being told that she lies to avoid school. But that is realty and that is how doctors describe failure in treatment of Lyme disease.
