I know there is major XMRV stuff going on this week, but maybe some of you can catch a non mainstream TV interview broadcast 2:00 EDT Monday AUg 23. They usually post shows shortly afterwards on http://ctstv.com/ontario
Dr Alison Bested is the Canadian I think of when hear Canadian Consensus CFS/ME definition. When Dr Bell was in Toronto earlier this year he joined the podium with her. She is the undisputed hero for ME patients in Toronto area. Has published two books on ME. Been a key part of my current (knock on wood) 80% remission.
She is a practical practitioner first (kind of like Bateman except with no Singh) who blends Western medicine with an open mind to alternative treatments. Lately she's rolled up her sleeves and found time to lead on the activism part, to get Govt attention. She has a lot of things to say and I'd love to find ways for it to reach more people... in Canada, everywhere.
I am also personally plugging this a bit because she has agreed to do an interview for a university radio show I do and then try to spread the link. We agreed that we could do a follow up to this TV episode and I would try and invite additional questions. I sense that she doesn't want to guess where the latest research is headed but rather focus how to best cope with what's available now.
The MEAO is sort of Ontario's much smaller/younger version of the CFAIDS Assoc America.
I will try and get a copy of the TV show and store it on my blog (and then add a link here, or figure out how to use the Blog section of P.R.)
Also, I would be happy to hear comments from this forum about who's interested in such local proceedings in Canuck-land.
