We have posted many videos in this blog, most involving sufferers who tell their story on television networks in the United States and United Kingdom. We have had numerous videos of Arun inviting us or telling us about the various meetups in the UK, and I’ve enjoyed myself creating videos of meetups in the UK and Nashville, TN, US that I’ve attended, as well as beautiful places I’ve visited. But I must say, some of my favorites are the “home made” videos done by sufferers in their own homes with their cam cameras sitting at their computers. Those are relatively unrehearsed or coached, and they come straight from the heart.
Here is a video of a beautiful young lady, Crystal Y from the Serendip Body Odor group, who just wants to ‘come out’ to us, and to tell us her story. Crystal told me that she would love for others to see her video and is honored to have the opportunity to inspire someone else. These are her words:
Hi María,
I appreciate the amazing feedback on my video! I absolutely do not mind if you post it,...In fact, I want others to see it. I'm honored to have the opportunity to inspire someone else; if I could inspire just one person in the smallest way, that would mean a great deal.
Thank you again and I look forward to connecting with your community as well.
Sincerely,
Crystal Y
I know everyone will enjoy the experience of meeting Crystal in this video. She says that would love to hear from us too, and she gives us her email address, sweetlady2222@hotmail.com in case anyone would like to write to her.
We have a page in MEBO’s blog called “COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT,” and I invite everyone to browse through the "COMMUNITY FORUMS AND BLOGS" and to visit some of the various community forums and blogs it lists from around the world of the English speaking communities as well as the "DIVERSE LANGUAGES BODY ODOR FORUMS AND BLOGS". This page also has a section on "BOOKS WRITTEN BY SUFFERERS", including an anthology written by the former MSN Body Odor Support Forum that was closed and we migrated to the new Body Odor Support Forum bought for us by Arun Nagrath. This page also lists "INTERVIEWS WITH EXPERTS" that have so kindly given of their time to explain to us about body odor conditions and their recommendations.
The last but not least section of this page in our MEBO Blog invites sufferers to "MAKE YOUR OWN BODY ODOR/HALITOSIS VIDEO" as Crystal has done. We also have another sufferer who did a 3 Part video that we posted, “Filipino gentleman talks about his TMAU on CNN Ireport website”. We can all see how healing and inspiring their videos can be for many of us.
MEBO’s hope is to bring the whole international community together, to unite in sharing with each other so that we can support each other, and when research opportunities come along, there will be plenty of us to help the scientists help us on a voluntary basis only.
