Nedra,
You are sound like a wet blanket, everyone has different opinions and that
is just fine we me, it is one of the things I like to see here. That way we
all learn from each other.

Subject: [epilepsy] Re: Revised Information For Casting For Life Chaning
Show
From Executive Producer Ryan Seacrest and World-Renowned self-help expert
Paul McKenna
--------------------------
I don't know if anyone has brought this up before and excuse me if someone
has, but please do some research on Paul McKenna and know what this will be.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_McKenna
Paul McKenna is a hypnotist and teaches self hypnosis techniques to reduce
stress, anxiety, and behavior issues. Now those can relate to seizure
disorder and could be a factor to some triggers. But this is a HUGE but in
my mind, I don't want to see this show spun as 'watch Paul McKenna cure
seizures'.
My point being that I have had some dealings with the media ( newspaper and
tv) and every time, EVERY TIME, they get stuff wrong, they present the issue
or some of the facts wrong. So while you are very excited about getting your
issue more attention, that isn't what the production company or writer is
interested in.
I am NOT saying do not do this. Please understand. I do think that this
might help. My son did biofeedback and it did help him learn to relax,
reduce some stress, and I prompt him when I think he is starting to stress
that might ( who knows, it is all anecdotal) go to seizure. Many people with
seizure have similar things they do. Paul McKenna has had tv shows in the
past in the UK and here in the US. I think he had one on TLC or one of those
cable networks. He is a great showman. But know what you are getting into.
It is kind of like reality tv, everyone thinks oh I will look great and
everyone will see what a wonderful person I am, but hey we all see, not
everyone looks like a wonderful person on reality tv. Why? Cause that
doesn't make great tv. Now this is to make Paul McKenna look great. That is
the main focus of this show.
Nedra, not wanting to sound like a wet blanket
