Found out that it's called 'Environmental Illness' in the San Francisco Focus
Magazine (KQED's answer to the TV Guide), and it was on 4 times - I only saw
two of them in the regular TV guide, and was going to tape the second time, but
it was on at 11, and I fell asleep (my VCR is flakey on timed tapings).  I'll
go ahead and call KQED to see if they'll run it again (I feel guilty since I
don't subscribe to them...).

Anyway - if you want to call your local stations and request it be shown, it
was called Environmental Illness, and it was a KQED special report (apparently
not even shown on the other three local PBS stations).  It was first shown
on December 30 at 8 p.m.  The blurb about it is:

A growning number of people believe that chemicals in the environment are
making them sick, but the medical establishment considers their symptoms
psychosomatic.  This documentary examines the phenomenon of environmental
illness: the people, including Elayne Minor, pictured, who suffer from it;
the doctors who treat it; and the skeptics who question its existence.

P.S.  I don't know how many of you are also interested in disfunctional family
shows, but if you are, and you are a follower of John Bradshaw (Bradshaw on:
The Family and Healing the Shame that Binds You), KQED had such a positive
feedback to those shows they taped their own series of him called Bradshaw on
Homecoming which aired in December.  I don't know if KQED will distribute them,
but keep an eye out for them.  The little I saw was as good as the prior series
had been.  dg
