My question too--

Are we going to get a "surprise" when we click on the link to watch?? So far nothing has been free. I'd hope Judy wouldn't participate in that habit of his. I hope this is "for real!"

I know! I was astonished it was listed as FREE too.....but I am sure we'll all get follow-up e-mails afterwords. I wonder if it will be just a total recap of Mikovits' last prohealth talk? Or if something new will be covered?

Oh, you guys are so cynical. :Retro tongue: (only joking)

I'm pretty sure it will be free for all but I guess we'll have to wait and see to know for sure.

I was his patient for years:sofa: so you can understand the cynical attitude,;)

I do respect his dedication and he really fought for me with insurance companies. He's a good man, but I guess he's got to make $

Not to be cheeky here but you know he has a new heart right? That news astonished me. Then I went to looking at his site and all and it was all pay for this pay for that. Wow have a heart Mr.
most of us have been financially crippled by this disease along with the other "benefits" this disease brings.

I had a friend who went to him, I chose Lapp. We use to kid each other about my doc is better (anybody remember that movie Brazil, what happened to you, my complication had a complication)
Now since we're still friends after seeing his charges and knowing I stuck with the right doc I kid her at least my doc has a heart. Cruel I know but inside jokes are like that.

So that's 6pm to 7pm GMT? (please correct me if I'm being a dunce) :Retro redface:

Much better time for us Brits, the last one was too late for me I was :In bed: zzzzz

Now I wonder if the live feed will work..... has the cheneyresearch.com site done this sort of thing before? Surely THIS one will be okay!

I also wonder if they'll be any new information or if it will be largely the same as before. Let's hope for some more good news!!

I didn't see an option for sending in questions this time?

Just in case someone hasn't seen it already... From the Cheney Research website:

Questions?

Is this free?

Yes, this is completely free.

Will the presentation be made available after the live event?


Yes, the presentation will be made available within the Public Blog area of the Cheney Research website.

What do I need to watch the live presentation?

You will need to ensure you have the latest version of Flash installed.
It seems that Dr. Mikovits is going to have to watch Dr. Cheney demonstrate his Echo-Terrain Mapping technique. So there is the element of free advertising for Cheney. :D That's OK, I've been wondering what the heck that stuff is anyway.

Wednesday 1pm - 2pm EST.

:)


Like the other cynics I was surprised this is free too LOL. You don't get Cheney and free in the same sentence often enough....so let's enjoy this one!

And Rachel...a transcription would be the icing on the cake for many. Looks like it will be available on Cheney's public site soon afterwards. Unless you transcribe live? :eek:

OK 7am (on the 11th) where I am. I can manage that.

Rachel...so you'd need my speed X 100 then! LOL. Watch and enjoy - sounds like a good time for those in the UK.
