you're right FG.
they didn't tell US anything. but maybe putting something before the public will help with some awareness.

they hardly have time for the news let alone anything in depth on another topic.

it was poorly done.
it's too bad that i've seen nothing on tv about the capitol etc.

CNN showed the Senate testimony of Weyman Johnson, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National MS Society on Capitol Hill last week and there were some who complained about his testimony. You can't please everyone, I guess. He was very good!

Saw this segment too. I don't usually watch the news on NBC, but was interested to do so when I saw this thread earlier.

When they presented the ideas behind why they think more women than men get auto immune diseases, my hubby went haywire. He said some things that I will not repeat in polite company.

I agree it was very poorly done. I wish they had done the focus a little differently. They are getting the info out there, but this has added another thing we may have to explain when trying to educate others.

I am not the only one who thinks it was poorly done and posted a comment.

I guess I didn't miss much. I don't think in terms of NBC, ABC, CBS. I'm more of a "channel 11, 13, 2" kind of guy. I don't know which one of our local channels is NBC.

Yes, but did you see that very young Dr. Ari Green? Is he older than 29? No wonder we cannot find a cure--our doctors are still children! How come as I get older the doctors get younger and younger?

They mentioned ms on NBC again tonight in connection with vitamin D. The story was about breast cancer and vitamin D, but then they interviewed a doctor who suggested that lack of vitamin D is the cause of ms. If only it were that simple!
