Back in 2009, I started an email letter writing campaign to Dr Oz, requesting that he do a segment on his show about CFS and XMRV. I connected his producers with the WPI, and even helped Dr Donnica with her talking points. What resulted was the segment below. (The only youtube video of it that I could find has French subtitles, but at least it's available for viewing.)
Some people on this forum were quite vocal in their anger at Dr Oz, because he talked a little bit about exercise at the end of the segment. But overall, I think Dr Oz was very empathetic about CFS. The fact that he was willing to address both CFS and XMRV on his show was pretty amazing. He was the ONLY mainstream media talk show host that I contacted who was willing to do so. Oprah wasn't. Neither was Dr Phil, or 60 Minutes.
When I spoke with Donnica Moore about half a year ago she said she didn't think Dr Oz would be interested in doing another CFS segment any time soon. But maybe once we have more studies, that will change.
