  MEDIA ALERT: Radio & newspaper coverage of CFS 



Advocacy Alert: 6/01/2007

CFS and the upcoming educational events in Houston are getting local press!

Writer Cynthia Lescalleet profiles CFS patient Jane Mostowitz in an article that serves as a “CFS 101” course for readers of the Examiner newspapers in Belleaire, Memorial, River Oaks and West University. In “When rest isn’t restful: Chronic fatigue, ‘constant recuperation’,” Lescalleet describes the illness and potential causes, and includes quotes from Association president Kimberly McCleary and local chiropractor Dr. Paul Breeding. The article includes a sidebar of symptoms and information about the upcoming “kNOw MORE” seminar and photo exhibit. (5/30/07) You can read it at:

This weekend, several local radio stations will air a 30-minute public affairs program featuring Kim McCleary who talks about a range of CFS issues with host Julie Takahashi. Listen in on the following stations:

     ESPN 97.5 "The Ticket"
     104.1 KRBE

(We regret that we don't have air times to share with you.)

Additional outlets are considering coverage; we'll keep you updated! Hope to see you at the InterContinental on June 9. Read more about the seminar at http://www.cfids.org/cfidslink/2007/050708.asp
