Dr. Phil “Deadly Consequences” Aired on April 13, 2012
I will have to say I was a little nervous and skeptical about the Lyme disease episode being viewed by millions. I was hoping it wasn’t one-sided and showing the IDSA as the victor. I just finished watching the episode and although I wish more information was exposed on the show such as coinfections, it was still a win for us Lymies.
I applaud Dr. Phil for exposing the world to Chronic Lyme disease. Chronic or Late-Stage Lyme is all too real and a living nightmare. It will change lives in the worst way and break the strongest person down. Thank you Dr. Phil for educating the public and exposing our suffering. I hope to see more media coverage of Lyme disease in the future.
A HUGE thank you to Brooke Landau, Stephanie Vostry, Dr. Phil’s staff member and Chitra Bhakti, MD (Lyme Literate Medical Doctor/ LLMD).

Again, thank you so much for spreading Lyme awareness. We cannot do this alone. This is just one small step forward for the Lyme community.
