   I find it very interesting that quite a few comedians suffer from depression…I guess the comedy is a coping mechanism??

   Also, gets me so mad that almost all the links I found for Jeremy Piven’s mercury poisoning automatically doubted his diagnosis and assumed he was just trying to get out of work or was tired from partying too hard. Very frustrating. Why doesn’t America take mercury poisoning seriously – almost all of us are at risk between the amalgams in our mouths, the fish we eat, and the coal-powered electricity plants that spew out mercury into our air.

   Another name you might add, although I’m not sure how open she is about it, is Whoopi Goldberg with “perfume allergy”.
   It is severe enough that when they had a actress come to The View to promote a new perfume, Whoopi suddenly realized that she had to protect herself; the actress, and all the audience members, had to sign contracts saying that they would not open the bottled perfume while on set, and that the actress would not wear her new perfume to the set that day!
   With those kinds of protective measures, it certainly sounds like mcs to me!

   Thanks Lady…in order to add a name to our list, we must have a published story link to go with it; the celebrity must be “out” about their illness. I’ll do a search for this online and if you find one before me, send it over and I will post it. Thanks so much for mentioning it! J

   RE: Health Challenged Celebrities

   They forgot a few obvious very famous ones such as

   Cancer: Sandra Schmirler #81 Greatest Canadian, Terry Fox # 2 Greatest Canadian,

   Mental Illness: Robert Munsch # 78 Greatest Canadian though American born, Romeo Dallaire # 16 Greateat Canadian,

   Athma: Jacques Plante (inventer of the facemask), David Suzuki # 5 Greatest Canadian,

   Flesh Eating Disease: Jim Henson (the Muppets and Sesame Street), Lucien Bouchard (first leader of the BQ, PQ Priemier, Diplomat – believe it or not, it is funny when a separatist has a leg amputated)

   Traumatic Brain Injury: Robert Munsch (the two are a bit related in his case), Chris Benoit (see fifth)

   Except for Christ Benoit, who probably had no clue what was wrong with him before he died, they all meet your criteria as “out”

   You really make it appear so easy together with your presentation but I to find this topic to be really something that I believe I
   might never understand. It kind of feels too complicated and
   very large for me. I’m taking a look ahead for your subsequent put up,
   I will attempt to get the hang of it!
