Unresearched post:
There seems to be a daily TV program (a medical Oprah-type show) made in California which is always looking for sufferers of various ailments to appear. They have a form page where they are constantly looking for body odor sufferers to appear on their show.

At the moment little is known about the program but this is posted in case anyone is interested. One thing they certainly won't be expecting is metabolic body odors such as fecal body odor. Perhaps they will have heard of trimethylaminuria but consider it rare (despite estimates suggesting 1% could be 'at risk') .
first impressions on potential impact:
helping the sufferer who appears : almost zero chance
helping publicity : reasonably good but probably no great impact due to nature of audience
