http://www.turnto23.com/health/31122357/detail.html . Here is another ‘spin-off’ of the article to which you refer, Diana. No responses on this one. CNN really ‘gets around’. Ugh!

Anyway, if you google CNN and Ehlers Danlos – you get pages and pages of the initial article that you posted, Diana. It appears that every newspaper (at least published online – I have no idea about the paper copies) in the country has ‘caught on to’ this article. It’s clearly been released by TONS & TONS of local newschannels throughout the US have picked up CNNs article and re-printed and circulated it throughout their local communities.

Good luck to those who are seeking much needed medical help for Ehlers Danlos. Ugh! Go buy some acetaminophin and hope it doesn’t rip up the GI tract, I guess – at least according to the doctor they interviewed. I’m sure we all know how much good this doctor’s advice is.

There should be legal accountability (in my opinion) since many of the statements were blatant falsehoods. There should be a retraction, no question (imo).

“Dr. Diana will always hold a very special place in my heart for her selfless devotion to helping everyone, not just the Ehlers-Danlos community. I hate to think what my life would be without her insight and guidance.”
