I read a few days back about the research study that Montel Williams was in and it showed a video of it. I thought I had saved it but I quess not. Does anyone still have it and knows what the name of who came up with that study. It would be appreciated.

It's called The Wisconsin Project. If you go to Montel's website there is a video clip and more info. Nahlie posted it here if you go back some, I think the post is called "You have to watch this!!!". Sorry I can't post the link, I don't know how to on my iPod!

someone posted a thread, more recent that this one, but I could not find it. The thread was about Montel William's MS research project, and saying that the phone number for contributions was disconnected and folks were wondering if the project closed down and why the number wasn't working. Well, I found out where Montel has been lately!

He has been on Home Shopping Network selling his latest gadget, a high speed, fancy smanshy blender! Yep, Montel is off selling on HSN!

The project has not been closed down but they also did not get published as they had hoped due to huge discrepancies in their research data. I talked with one of the researchers and he said that what we saw that day on Oprah was the good - the bad and the ugly were omitted and that he would be in contact with me after publication to let me know of other centers taking this new exciting research on! I guess game off now. So, moving on I guess. Guess MOntel will have to keep pounding the pavement with his healthy living book and his juicer. Hey at least we had hope for that brief fleeting moment! As my new neuro says "we manage to cure a lot of rats."!

MORE POWER TO MONTEL...he can still work any.

I would start rapping in a heartbeat with that annoying "Sham-Wow" Australian if my body was up for it, so I could work any. HA! I so would!

The second my body is "up" for anything, I hop on the opportunity. I don't get many opportunities with this disease, so I relish what, if anything I can do now...even if I do it seriously crappy, like walking...still hobbling along!

Now get me the rapping Australian S.T.A.T. before my body gets worse. HA!

Take care,
Stay sane!

P.S...I loved montel's video on his website about the MS study. It was very hopeful & heartwarming. 2 things we so desperately need.
