   Have you found any correlation between the Guardasil vacine and cysts? My daughter had the vaccines this past year and then developed an abnormal cyst in her breast resulting in surgery. Results were negative, but I am now wondering if there is any info about this happeneing to others.

   On that show The Dr’s it is quite upsetting to me on the subject of vaccinations for HPV they can make light of the risks by saying you take a risk when you take a tylenol. there is no comparison there at all. People don’t die from a tylenol and many people have died from vaccines and doctors are well aware of it, but for they sake of not scaring ppl they say that it is safe.

   I am wondering what causes the development of moles. Over the last five years I have “grown or developed” multiple moles of different sizes, shapes, and colors, on several places on my body, to include my eyelids. Is there anything that can be done to stop these, and who would I see to get the ones on my eyelids removed?

   I have a 16 year old daughter who has had really bad periods every since she began having them.She has really bad blood clots and what she calls excruciating pain every time she has a cycle.Is this normal, and is there anything to help her.she tries taking tylenol or the otc menstrual medicine but nothing seems to help,it’s to the point that she has to stay home from school every month during that week.she takes p’e and soccer at school so she gets plenty of exercise.Is there anything I can do to help her.

   Is Lipotropics injections safe to get or is it more harmful to the body? If safe, how many injections at one time can be injected?

   they are right, taking tylenol is dangerous, it can also kill you, my daughter died from tylenol

   I was in tears watching today’s show, the one on the Gardasil Vaccine. I have a 17 year old daughter that has been through pure hell since recieving the shot on May 22. Before the shot, she was a top ranked runner, running an average of ten miles a day. Since the shot,(which most of her doctors confirm) she has developed pericarditis, mono, hand weakness, and has started having severe, blinding headaches, fatigue so on and so on. She will randomly swell up, has chest pains, shortness of breath etc. You can not tell me that a completely normal and physically active, otherwise healthy girl, just randomly started experiencing all these health complications. You also can’t tell me that these girls, all over the country that pass out and have seizures immediately after getting this shot are just afraid of needles. The statistics they mentioned today that only 6% of girls develop a severe reaction, which according to them breaks down to 1 in 27,000, is not a high enough number to do something about this poison that is being injected into innocent young girls on a daily basis. The lady from VAERS stated that TWENTY FIVE percent of ALL new claims coming in are now due to this shot. You can’t tell me that the fact that the MANUFACTURER of this drug is the ONLY one to do a study and then having it “fast tracked” thru the channels to have it approved isn’t somehow related to the fact that MERCK, is having to pay out tons of money to the VICTIMS of Vioxx and that this is not somehow related. Don’t you think tha they possibly wanted to recoup some of their losses? Which, by the way, the earnings of this so called miracle drug is 1.5 BILLION dollars to date. I also have an issue with the fact that, once again, according to the show today, this drug was ONLY tested on 11,000 girls, that doesn’t make sense…if 1 in 27000 girls will be effected, shouldn’t the test group have been larger than that number?!! Think about the size of the town you live in, is there more than 27,000 people in it? If you had a 1 in 27000 chance of winning the lottery, you would think those were pretty good odds, wouldn’t you?! Well, reverse that, is it worth taking a chance that your daughter,niece or granddaughter will be THAT ONE in 27000. With all the problems that my daughter is having, we are still lucky, she’s still alive to have these problems, some girls aren’t!

    Regarding the 16 year old having really bad menstrual cramps. I would think that she has endometriosis. I think you should take her to your physician and find out what is going on.

    I’m watching the show on Home Birth vs. Hospital Birth. I was very disappointed to hear all the negative discussion regarding home birth. The “Drs” were very enthusiastic to share all the “scary things” that could happen with a home birth, but really neglected to share the facts. That statistically maternal deaths are lower with home births. That babies and mothers are given exceptional extended home care by a qualified midwife who is specifically trained in delivering babies and to watch for and react to the changes that can happen in labor.

    I didn’t hear any statistics on the unnecessary interventions that happen in hospitals and result in costly medications, procedures and even injury and death to mom and baby. I didn’t hear how the C-section rate in North America is considered dangerously high by the World Health Organization…yet we still are encouraging the general population to have hospital births!

    Where was the professional opinion to represent the other side to the story? Besides having an OBGYN for the hospital side if you truly wanted to show both sides you should of had a reputable, qualifed and respected midwife such as Ina May Gaskin who is credited for developing the “Gaskin Maneuver” for help babies with shoulder distocia. Midwife Ina May Gaskin is invited all over the world to teach OBGYN’s her technique for helping babies with this condition.

    I’m just disgusted and disappointed to see again another lopsided discussion on this issue. I fully believe that the medical system has a place and in case of an emergency or high risk pregnancy, there is no one that I would want caring for me or my baby than a highly trained and compassionate OBGYN. However, for a normal healthy pregnancy a educated, caring, midwife is the safest choice! I’m a mother of 2 and have had both of my babies at home in the tub under the competent and exceptional care of trained midwives.

    Watching the Doctors today they mentioned regarding pain medicine to only get it from one doctor. I am upset they did not say anything about it being a FELONY FOR DOCTOR SHOPPING AND IF YOU DO GO TO MORE THAN ONE DOCTOR AND GET NARCOTIC PAIN MEDS YOU ONLY NEED TO SHOP ONCE AND THEY WILL CATCH IT SOONER OR LATER AND YOU WILL GO TO JAIL!! THIS IS NO JOKE. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A LAW ABIDING CITIZEN NEVER EVEN A TICKET AND I DID IT ONLY ONE TIME AND THE NARCS CAME TO MY HOUSE AND ARRESTED ME. DON’T BE FOOLED THE PHARMACY HAS TO GIVE THEM RECORDS ON WHO IS GETTING THESE MEDS AND THEY DO WATCH YOU. DONT MAKE THE MISTAKE I DID. IT WAS HORRIBLE TO GO THRU. STICK WITH ONE DOCTOR ONLY FOR YOUR PAIN MEDS AND IF YOU ARE ADDICTED CHECK OUT THE MED SABOXEN. (NOT SURE OF SPELLING, ASK YOUR DOCTOR) IT HELPS ADDICTS GET PAIN RELIEF WITH OUT BEING ADDICTING. I PLAN ON STARTING THIS TREATMENT FOLLOWING MY LAST MAJOR SURGERY. GOOD LUCK TO ALL. I HOPE THE DOCTORS TELL ALL THE VIEWERS HOW SERIOUS IT IS TO DOCTOR SHOP.

    Dear Dr. Phil ( & Others),
    I saw your show of the little people having brain operations. I really wish I could have helped in any way ( which I cannot do since I am not a dr). I just wanted to tell you that i’ve had epilepsy since i was born & it took until I was 33 yrs old that an operation was done on me ( in an emergency case). I was 1 of the first people they tried it on & it had worked for me, but it took a few years before it all disappeared & I got back to normal. My case was different than what I saw on TV — mine was left side of brain ( pituitary — left temporal lobe). I am on disability now & a lot better than before, yet it may still bother me many times since i am still restricted at some things or still fear some stuff. I wish these operations were known a long time ago. I really wish I could see or just talk to 1 of you to let you know the stuff a person goes thru & the recovery & memory losses, etc. I saw 2 different shows ( with you guys ) about this! It just struck me right away! I really wish I could tell you what happened back when I went thru all this trouble, then finally got the help I needed. I cannot work, yet I do talk to others with familiar trouble & do lots of stuff that people think we cannot do — plus how shocked people are when we tell them the medical trouble we have & cannot believe it since we can do what they do. I cannot explain it. I have seen so many high drs here in Canada & read so much stuff on all of this. I can explain a lot of stuff to other people with same trouble. I know that some people cannot be helped — depending on which part of brain is effected. I just wish I could talk to you guys to let you see how these new operations do help. I am restricted to certain things yet & am on just a couple of pills now, but I am a lot older now & have other trouble with old age, etc., so I do not work. these drs here have helped me for years & I can still talk to them if I want for any reason. It has been 22 yrs now. I wish there was a way I could talk to you of this stuff & how the new stuff REALLY does help. Please remember ( as I was told over & over) — change your pills after so many years ( or you can go off of them slowly), get your sleep & rest & watch what you eat or do! I could say so much stuff, but you guys probably know all that i’d like to tell you. To me — I wish this would have happened when I was still real young instead of when it was too late – I may have worked my life instead of being on disability. I even had nervous breakdowns & a stroke or other injuries during seizures — you probably wouldn’t even know it if you just saw me walk down the street. I keep wishing I could have helped long time ago after I had that operation. I did in some ways, but it is not enough for me yet. I do prove that we can do just the same as others, yet in some cases may stil be restircted just a bit. I wish I could tell you more & more. But there is just way too much. If you guys were up here, I would have went just to talk to you ( not publicly) to tell you all that I went through & let you see how I am now. Keep up the good work! Help those others that need it & try to get it done real soon before it is too late. Let them know they are just as normal as others. I would not be able to go see you because of $$ & restrictions of help right now. I hope to see you 1 of these times thinking I can help you with any info since I went thru it all 22 yrs ago. Please write back if you want to. My e-mail address is at the top. Please do not give it away or tell anyone of me — this is between you & me right now. Thank you. I will keep watching you!

    Hello. I suffer from Trigeminal Neuralgia. A painful neurological disease that has affected my life. You never hear anyone talk about this illness but it is extremely painful and many many people suffer from it. I have had three different surgeries to alleviate the pain that I have bilaterally and still I have to take many pain killers every day just to get out of bed. It would be great if this could be a discussion topic just so that more people knew about TN. I am also considering a Motor Cortex Implant but would like to hear more info on this.

    I wish to comment on your segment about ECT. This treatment saved my mothers life 6 years ago. I did a lot of reading on this at the time, as my mother was so depressed she couldn’t make decisions for herself. I had to obtain power of attorney to make the decision to have this procedure done. Many medications were tried prior and nothing worked. After two ECT treatments she responded and with meds. she regained her life back. Now, 6 years later she is 78 years old and the life of any party. I was irritated by Dr. Masterson’s very negative opinion about ECT. Afterall, she is an OBGYN, I doubt if the subject ECT comes up in her field very often.
    It does have its’ merits and can be an option that works.

    I am 52 and disabled. I have diabetes, hbp, and have lost 80% of kidneys. I also have depression, sleep apnea and grade 4 arthritis in both knees. I have had a heart attack, cataracts removed and fluid removed from knees several times. I did weigh 196# at 5′6” when I got out of hospital a little over 2 years ago. Now, I am hovering around 240#. I also have diabetic neuropathy in both hands and feet as well as high cholesterol. I take about 10 different medicines, including thyroid medicine. I used to walk, but my knees have gotten so bad, it is hard just getting out of bed. The psychologist I saw to be determined for disability said I have the body of an 83 year old woman and he would be depressed if he was me. I want to get healthy again and have a good life. I used to work 7 days a week for 20 plus years raising my 3 boys and now I am too tired and hurt to much to enoy them or my grndchildren. I have tried 1/2 of the phen phen, ionamin, xenical and south beach diet and weight watchers. I used to go to curves until my ortho doctor took me off the knee machines. I want to have lap band surgery, so that when I need the kidney transplant, my stomach fat is gone (which my doctor said needs to be done). Is there any hope for me?

    I watched your show today for the first time and i had saw a commercial when you went to break about MY HIGHBRIDGE MOUTH and i was wondering if you could send me some information on that because i am a 33 year old woman and my teeth are in terrible shape i am constantly popping Advil for the pain because everytime i go to the dentist they make me cry everytime i leave. I wish i had taken better care of my teeth, when i was twelve yrs old i had braces i also had a tooth at the roof of my mouth so i had a thing attached to my roof so that the tooth could move back into place i also grew up on a farm where i drank well water which i had heard is actually not good for your teeth and that is what i think also contributed to me having weak teeth. I’m not quite sure though. I am very ashamed to smile i cry all the time because of my teeth and i think i am actually causing more problems to my health because of all the Advil i pop when i do have pain. I just want to live a normal happy and healthy life with my children and my husband, I wish that i had someone could sympathize and understand what i am going through and i also wish that there was someone out there who is willing to help i don’t work but my husband does and we do have coverage but it’s only $1500.00 and the work that needs to be done on my teeth is worth alot more than that i am also fed up with root canals and i have just basically given up because i know that without help, sincerety and understanding from someone who knows what i am feeling and going through without it always coming down to money especially when it also is affecting your health which i think is more important than money
    COULD YOU PLEASE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I AM VERY DESPERATE

    I have not watched this show until today, I am aware of it and just wasnt interested in the “fluff”. The reason I watched this time is due to one guest that has a rib deformation that is caussing her physical and emotional pain. The doctors fix; acupuncture and pain management? Give me a break. The same show they shows some real medical marvels involving the brain and they cant even at least mention maybe fixing this womans rib physically?

    The show should educate about Celiac. I have Celiac (unable to eat gluten) and our country seems to ignore the need for better food labels. By the way Celiac is an Auto Immune disease and not an allergy therefore labels can fail to say gluten as a ingredient. It also down plays the importance of the diagnosis. It affects many parts of ones life and body. For example fertility can be a issue, or bone thinning and even cancer. Celiac was discover late in my life and it has taken away my health in many regards. Educate and inform, the show has a great purpose and platform for debates in health care. Thank you.

    Ever since I was very young (I am 69 y/o now) I have had spasms in my legs which the doctors now refer to as Restless Leg Syndrome. What causes this, and is there a cure for it besides a “pill”. Now the spasms are also in my arms and back at night. It usually starts in when I am sitting. It feels like consant electric shocks shooting through my body especially as soon as I go to bed so that I cannot get to sleep. Sosme nights, no pain pills, hot showers, anxiety medications, or othing else stops them until I am so completely exhausted. I would like a reply as to what I should do to get relief. Thank you.

    I caught a few minutes of your show for the first time recently; it was an episode on home birth vs hospital birth. I had my first two children in the hospital and my third (in May) at home. I realize that doctors are watching with horror the growing popularity and attention to home birth, but are not understanding how to effectively address the trend. The young lady doctor can talk about the inherent risks of childbirth and the accompanying statistics endlessly, without making dent on the other side. The reason for this impasse is that doctors are failing to discuss healthy birth; birth as a natural physiological process. Eroding the trust of women towards the medical community are the high rates of intervention and c-sections. It is incredibly concerning to a healthy woman with a healthy baby. These trends indicate to us an ignorance of how to treat the vast majority which are low risk women. There is no doubt that you can handle every conceivable emergency, but can you respectfully sit on your hands and leave well-enough alone?

    Your daughter sounds like she has similar pains like I do. I suffered from bloating, painful heavy periods, and many other things that finally made me go to the doctor. The doctors told me I have a condition called endometriosis. Its where you develop scar tissue on organs in your body due to your period. It is very painful especially during your period. If I were you I would have your daughter checked for this because if it goes untreated then she can become infertile. Usually they prescribe birth control for this. It can help in most cases, others may need surgery like I did. Hope this helps.

    I was disappointed regarding Lisa Masterson’s discussion with the three pregnant women and elective c-sections. She should not be advocating elective c-sections. A woman is perfectly capable (medical issues aside) of delivering a baby vaginally. Promoting c-sections is a serious issue in this country. When c-sections happen, a woman is likely to have a repeat. Many insurance companies are denying coverage because of previous c-sections. She didn’t mention that the recovery time for a c-section is double that of a vaginal birth. Many times she demeans any form of natural birthing. She also gave a very dry view of selective termination in the case of multiple babies. I have to aplaud Dr. Travis for saying that a couple should take responsiblity when they now that fertilization can lead to multiple births and that we are playing God.

    I am concerned about some of the advice Dr. Lisa is giving about prenatal care. She advocates prenatal sex, and the use of drugs during childbirth – but these can be very harmful to the mental health of the child later in life. It is all covered in the book “Dianetics”. I hope she (and the show’s viewers) will familiarize themselves with this information.

    I assume you have taken her to a GYN by now. He can diagnose what may be causing the clotting and pain. Sometimes he can put her a low dose birth control pill that will help ease the cramping and bleeding. That would be my first thing to do.

    Dr. Sear’s book on vaccines derives all of it’s information, according to the information in the books introduction, from the drug companies’ information packages. This is certainly not an unbiased source, especially since they are not required to report all of their findings to the FDA.

    A good book on the REAL story about vaccines and their ties to destroyed lives, disease, SIDS, etc., is by Hilary Butler called “Just a Little P Rick”

    Dr Lisa,
    You have a clear bias towards a medical intervention in pregnancy and labor. Needed or not. Clearly you think all women should have an epidural. Clearly you think that a C-Section is a better way to birth. It also seems clear to me that you have no interest in supporting women to make choices that are more natural. You are the kind of doctor who promotes fear of labor, rather than building women up, in a belief that it is something they can do.

    I don’t mean to show a bias on the other side, I mean, I got epidurals with my two births, I only wanted to point out that your bias is clear. Perhaps you wold consider finding a way to communicate more positively about the other methods of birthing a baby. I suggest a show on the may ways to cope with the pain of labor. Your show about home birth, was very discouraging. There are plenty of alternative options in which you and your baby can be safe, and the complications you spoke of were scary enough to detour a person from even considering other options, but the chances of them occurring weren’t mentioned and happen to very few people.

    I understand your concern for baby and mother…and I hope you understand my concern for a mothers mental well being, particularly for those considering a more natural birth experience.

    I have been having severe pain in my heart since 2003. Numerous EKG’s and Stress Tests has been performed on me however it all comes back normal. On September 5th I was taken to the Emergency room with chest pains. I was admitted and was given a Stress Test, Xray’s and Echo Cardio Gram Test was performed. While the ECG was being performed I saw on the monitor a loose skin flapping in one of the arteries as the blood was flowing against it. I asked the Technitian where that loose skin was and she told me in the artery. She told me the dr will explain it to me.
    The Dr. only told me my heart is functioning alright. Please help me because I am afraid this skin when it comes apart can block one of the blood vesels which can cause death.
    I was discharged from the hospital on Monday September 8th and I haven’t been able to sleep for the fear I might die. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I was disappointed in the Doctor’s response
    to ways to help painful periods. I no longer
    have them thank goodness (I am 56), but I suffered many years with very painful cramps with heavy blood clots, before finding relief. I agree that the heat pad works, but would like to add hot liquids like tea or warm milk and staying warm and taking Ibuprofen worked for me and made it possible for me to have a productive day at work or school. The old Modal, aspirin and tylenol never helped me. I realize that every woman reacts to periods in different ways. My PE teacher always made me exercise and didn’t understand it made my cramps worse. I wish I had known all of this when I was growing so I didn’t have to suffer so much. My mother and sister never had cramps, so they didn’t know how I suffered each month. Cold drinks of any kind only made my cramps worse.
    If Dr. Lisa’s advice didn’t help you try mine, I discovered it the hard way after many years
    of suffering.

    I was recently been diagnosed with bio-polar and have been perscribed nova-lamotrigine. The doctor said she perscribed this one rather then others as there would not be any weight gain. I have been training/body building for 17 years and she knew this would be a big deal for me. However, what happened when I started taking this medication, the one thing I didn’t want ..I gained 8-10 pounds. I would like to know is there something else I could take that is just as good as the one I was perscribed? I asked my doctor but she said this is the one that is most recommended..and did not give me an alternative. Also I checked out the side effects on line for this medication and weight gain is not listed for this drug. Can you give me an alternate that I could take, that has no weight gain…please, that would be great. I am at the point that I would rather not take the medication and I know that this is not wise..so help would be great.

I have taken a lot of medications and I am now on Fentnial patch 75mc. It works a little bit for the pain but not enough to were I am not in pain all the time. I also had two shots in my lower back they did not work. In fact the last shot I had made it worse. Now the doctor wants to do surgery but he told me that it is not 100% that it will work and I could be paralyzed to. Do you have any ideas for me.

    Keri,

    I am going on 54 and have been going thru perimenapause now for the last 8 years. The only thing I have is hot flashes and sleepless night. I don’t have the mood swing. My husband thanks for God for that. It is really not that bad. You might want to speak with your mother and see what she went thru. You might want to ask her when she start and how long it lasted for her. I have friends that went thru it within a couple of years, where as I am going into my 9th year of this. I didn’t know my mother so I have nothing to base my experence on, but my daughters will. Exercise really help with the hot flash, at lease it did for me.

    Regarding today’s show (9/10/2008) and the young girl who started having procedures to lose weight at 12. This girl and her paents are emblamatic of what is wrong in our society and how they are so easily swaded by the whims and wishes of their children. This young lady, now 14, really had a lot to say about what she wanted while being totally unconcerned about what is good for her. The pathetic thing is that her parents were actually rallying her position. I realize that the show is not meant to be confrontational, but can you imagine how this was perceived when even professionals were cow-towed to submitting to this child’s wishes. The parent should be ashamed of themselves and professional acquiescing to such requests should be investigated. I’m pretty sure these parents would be the first to sue if anything negative were to happen during one of these procedures. Accordingly, someone should just say no to this child until she is at least 18.

    Hi Linda, I believe the answer to your skin problem would be helped by doing a cleanse. You may have a combination of heavy metal toxicity, as well as food allergies. I recommend that you seek out a natureopath for guidance, though there are many good books out there as well. Chlorella and fish oils would be very beneficial for your skin. Aloe and iodine supplementation as well. 90 percent of people don’t get enough iodine in their diets, which can effect the thyroid, thus causing your hair loss. Also check out the Center for Advanced Medicine web-site. They are located in Encinitas, CA and have a call in radio program on Sat. mornings, where you can ask their advice. Don’t give up hope. There is help for you. Jen

    Thanks for having the show about liposuction on the 12 yr old girl. I live in Austin TX. and had a consultation with Dr. Ersek; I’m not surprised he would have a child this young have this procedure. He is know for having a pre-prom procedures for high school students and accepting patients that are very young. When I went to visit for basic liposuction about 2 yrs ago he suggested that I have extensive surgery (over 5 different areas and breast reduction). He seemed more interested in pushing additional surgeries. I went and got a 2nd opinion. The other doctor suggested a few things for me to do prior to surgery. I’ve lost weight, look and feel much healthier. I no longer need liposuction.

    I watched the show today, and the ER DR. said he could give the young girl a regiment to fallow that would help her loose the weight, I would like to know what that is. I to have tried so many diets only to fail and then gain that weight plus more. Since I tuned 40 eight years ago it’s been one health problem after another. Hysterectomy,blood clot in my lung, sleep acme, gurd, arthritis, now my stomach wont empty. I’m boarder line diabetic and have put on 83 pounds in the last eight years . For me diets don’t work , I’ve tried lots of them and the pills to , worked outs and even seen a dietician.The lap band would be great only insurance doesn’t think I weigh enough yet. I mean how much does a person have to weigh or do before they get help? I know I’m not the only one out there that can’t afford eighteen thousand dollars or more for the surgery. So what am I supposed to do?

    I was just watching the show on the girl that had lipo when she was only 12 years old. I can’t belive that her parents let her go through with it! To me, that is just plain dam lazy on the girls part and I’m horrifed that those parents allowed it! Then to boot, took her to Mexico to go under the knife again, and get the lap band! OMG!! The mother and father are making excuses of why they let her do it! I think that is such crap that she wanted her father to see her in a dress before he dies. Oh PLEASE!! They were very lucky that they weren’t attending their daughters funeral. I think Dr.Travis should have kicked them off the stage. They just didn’t get it did they! U watch, god forbid if something happens to that girl if she gets another surgery. They will be the first ones to be crying to the media…She was so young, the Dr. should have not allowed it, we didn’t know, and list will go on! Anyway, with that being said, I do wish the girl well and some words of advice, PLEASE! loose weight the natual way.

    I had the same problem as a teenager and my doctor put me on a low level birth control. The extra estrogen and progesteron helped with the heavy clotting and cramps. I only stayed on the pill for about a 1 1/2 years, but I never got these symptoms back. Might want to ask her doctor about this possibility.

    I really appreciated how the doctors in yesterday’s show really tried to stand up to the mom and daughter who got the liposuction done.
    It is so depressing to see how them parents are encouraging their daughter to get all kinds of cosmetic surgery done so she can be “happy”!!!
    I have a strong feeling that if her parents would give her affirmation and tell her how beautiful she is on the inside and out that she wouldn’t be desiring to look like some model!
    I agree with the person who said this is a wake up call to parents! LOVE your kids for who they are not what they look like and if you keep pouring out that love and not giving into every whim that they have they will have a great self-esteem and thank you later for saving them from all the foolish whims that they had!
    America seems to have definitely forgotten who’s in charge,the parents,not the kids!!

    On today’s show (and I have only caught just a minute of it because I am working doing medical transcription at home), you are talking about how ERs are crowded and what does everyone think should/could be done about it, etc. I used to work in a hospital here in northwest PA. Initially, I noted that they had the same problem you are talking about, but they DID institute a clinic within the hospital for this purpose. People are so USED to going to the ER for most every little thing that it really puts a monkey wrench into the works. But when a patient comes in and is registered, unless it is something that the admitting clerk RECOGNIZES as something that should REMAIN in the ER, those patients are transferred to this other clinic within the hospital. Granted, it’s a lot of shuffling around, and there can be numerous people in the waiting area of the CLINIC, but at least those who are emergently awaiting care due to breathing problems, severe bleeding, or pain such that they would be taken to Surgery emergently….at LEAST there is a lot better chance that those patients will be seen much sooner and have better outcomes. I see this to be a real “positive” for our little hospital, and I think it is something that should be done in every hospital that HAS an Emergency Department.

    Dr. Ordan,

    I heard something about candidates for a make-over and would like to share my story. I am a 42 year old mother of two. I have been suffering from acne all my life. I’ve tried Accutane, other remedies from dermatologists and regular facials, but can’t seem to keep my skin clear. I am careful to use non-comedogenic products as well. Products such as Proactiv give me a rash after a month of use. I have a personal training business and work part-time for a medical office. In all, I work 42-50 hrs. per week to support my children. I recently made a big decision….to consult a plastic surgeon as I feel that I most likely need a deep chemical peel to correct my skin as I have a lot of scarring and pitting. This decision was a big one for me because I tend to worry about finances and always put my children’s needs first. Shortly after I made my appointment I had appendicitis. That surgery alone made me consider canceling my appointment. But that wasn’t all. A nodule was found on my lung on the CT scan for the appendectomy which ultimately led to a right middle lobectomy. I am grateful for the appendicitis as it saved my life. The nodule was early stage 1 adenocarcinoma but my lymph nodes are clear. No chemo! As you can imagine, my finances are pretty tight. I have always been self conscious of my skin and would love to know, just once in my life, what it’s like to have beautiful skin. If I am not a candidate, could you please give me your opinion as to what the one single most effective procedure would be for me and the approximate cost? I will submit photos for you to evaluate at your request. Thank you for your help and consideration. Jodi

    How can you sit there and tell people that diet sodas or anything diet with artifical sweeteners won’t hurt you. They may not have proved it causes cancer. Methanol which is in aspartame breaks down into formic acid and formaldehyde in the body. Formaldehyde is a deadly neurotoxin. An EPA assesssment of methanol states that methanol ” is considered a cumulative poison due to the low rate ofexcretion once it is absorbed. In the body, methanol is oxidized to formaldehyde and formic acid; both of these are toxic.” The recommended limit of consumption of 7.8 mg/day. A one liter approx.1 quart aspartame-sweetened beverage contains about 56mg of methanol. Heavy users of aspartame containing products consume as much as 250mg of methanol daily or 32 times the EPA limit. The most well known peoblems from Methanol poisoning are vision problems an my son is a eye doctor.Methanol is a wood achohol poison All people have to do is gon to google aned put in aspartame and read how it got passed by the FDA It was used as a paint thinner that is what methanol is FACT. It may not cause cancer but what is it doing to the rest of your body. There is so much more to say.

    I recently lost over 90+ lbs. to correct my diabetic condition after taking steroids and gaining over 100+ lbs. Yes, I am glad that I mastered the weight lost but now I have hanging skin around my thighs, arms and better yet my stomach and lower butt area is terrible. I walk and ride my bike daily. I lose weight but I look terrible in terms of the excess skin hanging everywhere. At first I could deal with it because I no longer have diabetes but I am in severe pain in my stomach and hip area where the skin hangs. I can not afford to have the cosmetic surgery so my question is what can I do?????????? I will do whatever it takes to remain healthy.

     I want to comment on the short comments made last week concerning ECT (electro-convulsive therapy)
     I don’t think the comments were informative or fair. Dr Masterson was able to give her personal opinions but no other point of view of offered. ECT
     has changed over the past few years and is very helpful to some people who have not been helped by medications or other therapies. She said ECT has only a short term benefit. ECT can keep a person alive until another therapy can tried. ECT is very useful to decrease suicidal ideation during the period before medications are at therapeutic levels. I hope that you all would take another look at ECT. There are some dedicated Drs doing ECT with some life saving results. Thank You.

You guys are fun to watch and very informative. Dr. Stork I just wanted to say thank you for the comments you made regarding ER back up and overflow. Last year was one of the worst flu seasons I have seen (even though I haven’t been in this profession that long). You hit the key points on the nail head! We are already experiencing these kinds of overflows in the ER (holding patients) because the hospital is full and its not even flu season. I think what you said was important and if its possible for people to hold out and see their PCP it really helps us and allows us to take care of the critically ill. Coming to the ER in the early morning is also another helpful tip. We are slammed by 7 pm when I get to work with patients in the halls, multiple ambulances in the bay etc. and often is not slowing down all night. From triage experience, early morning is better. Also wish patients and family knew how hard we are working and that we get frustrated with the overflow and wait times as well. Most staff are often working with the same type of flu symptoms the patients are having because of staffing and nursing shortages. We have so much paperwork and criteria to meet on the legal realm of things that it also comes into play (we don’t like it but are required to do it and audited for it) constantly. We are doing the very best we can in the best way we know how to help them! Just want to say thanks again for bringing home that point on your show, look forward to seeing what else I can learn from ya’all. THANKS!

     p.s. Enjoyed watching you on the Bachelore but would rather hear you talk about medicine and show your smarts:)

     I keep hearing about “make-overs”… “Tell us your story, win a free make over!” If I could have anything made-over, it would be my mouth. Although I’ve worked full-time the better part of my adult life, sometimes working 2 jobs, but have not been able to afford much needed dental work. It’s embarrassing, because I work in customer service-front desk at a hotel. I also know the health factors, plaque in the bloodstream, etc. But no matter how it is explained to me, it is just not in the budget. When people discuss various celeb’s-her lips, legs, breasts, small waist, etc.-I think, “I want her mouth!” In Jax., I looked into a Dental College, but it cost as much as going to a regular Dentist’s office. A local homeless shelter was offering dental care on the news, but their way of handling a “bad tooth” was to just pull it! Any ideas? I’m 49 and this isn’t getting any better. I actually have dreams about my teeth crumbling in my mouth!

     I was very disapointed that the doctors show which discussed MS as a disease that for some “unknown” reason atacks the meylin covering of the nerves in humans.

     Why I am upset, is because there is a well known and increasingly diagnosed infectious disease, responsible for the symptoms which of course have been in my opinion incorrectly labled with the general term of MS. Waxing and waneing or remitting and returning MS variety or any of the other catagories that are misdiagnosed as MS are as I said increasingly being attributed to the infection of a Borelia Burgdorferi Spirochete which likes to nibble at the meilin covering of the nerves in every nervous system we humans posess.

     ALS patients have also been found to be infected with lyme disease and or some form of TBI(tick borne infection) yet which manifests itself and its symptoms as usually pertaining to ALS. I myself was incorrectly diagnosed initially with either ALS,LUPUS,MS,ankylosing spondilitis,post polio syndrome or what have you early on in my experience. These mistakes and the furthering of the mistakes of the comments made on the DOCTORS SHOW do nothing but harm to those patients who will undoubtedly be convinced by their medical professionals that MS is the diagnosis and there is no known etiology which causes this unfortunate wasting away of muscles in a child especially.

     It is also unfortunate that the “DOCTORS” on this show have not heard of the way a spirochete may morph into a cystic form when trying to hide from detection or when going into “remitting or waxing” asymptomatic forms. Of course when the cyst is then broken and the spirochete is released there would leave an open spot in the meilin covering of the nerve on which it happened to be attached.

     Pleas doctors, try and get at least these two diseases out of the closet as more and more researchers are needed to find and identify previously mysteriously missunderstood causes for among other things MS, ALS, RA, DJD, LUPUS, Fibro Myalgia, chronic disease….etc et al….

     I would be more then happy to come on your show and debate my records of misdiagnosis of some of these diseases and some of the reports I have which will at least better inform mothers and fathers what to be aware and warned of, the least being the identification and proper removal and corresponding treatments necessary so as NOT to have their children live a very painful, debilitating, parallyzed life. Very possibly NEEDLESSLY!

     This continued controversy has gone on WAY TOO LONG at the detriment of many, many physiologically and psychologically ill children and people of all ages.

     Just how many of the children in the suburbs that have committed these horendous crimes of murder and suicide have ever been checked afterward or preventively for any TBI(tick borne illness)which can and does affect the minds of the young as well as every age group of humans.

     Are you aware for instance that the mother tick is able to pass on the diseases she carries in her gut to her offspring?

     The mothers of humans have also passed on these terrible diseases in utero and have not been aware of this because they may have been asymptomatic.

     Are you doctors aware that these diseases like babesiosis and bartonella are not even checked for whenever blood donations are collected? This and many other co-infections I call TBI’s may well be responsible for an epidemic of a pandoric like pathogens infecting the entire earth while professors in at least two medical societies the IDSA (who has been cited in court by the Connecticutt Attorney General for malfeasance and conflicts of interests as well as fraud. The ILADS foundation is the conflicting organization which was even called in to treat our tick bitten and infected with one or more diseases present President of the United States of America?

     Two bills are now on Capital Hill that would, if passed dedicate more funds for research and education of this epidemic that infects an estimated 230,000 people in the USA alone, every year, and is increasing even as we speak.

     Please, in God’s Name! Bring all of this to light. Many people worldwide are comitting suicide due to the many painful manifestations of this disease. Not to mention the many psychological manifestations that have previously been attributed to either innate or environmentally responsible rearing or BEHAVIORAL excuses for abhorrant, violent, Rage like behaviour costing us our children in many schools here and around the world.

     Please help, you all have the unique ability to get the word out about this pandoric epidemic we face every hour of every day, here in America and Worldwide!

     Much like AID’s…we that suffer from these diseases need a voice…a champion….

     Won’t you please “Do no more harm” by NOT ignoreing my pleas?

     Thank you

     This show is absolutely ridiculous. It is uninformative, incomplete and inaccurate. It is a bunch of dead-end doctors who obviously don’t care enough about the true practice of medicine to conitinue it in the real world and instead would rather host a talk show preaching half-assed discussions about medical issues to vulnerable viewers.

     It is a crock of —-. I hope people who watch this show don’t rely on any of the information they give out. This show is just wrong and a waste of time. If they really want to help, how about canceling the show and taking the PROFIT and the salaries PAID to these dead-beat “doctors” and donating it all to a true medical cause like cancer or IV research. But of course it’s all about money and that would never happen.

     Word of advice: Go to YOUR REAL DOCTOR if you have any true medical problems or need information!!! This show is meant for nothing more than ENTERTAINMENT – if they were providing any truly groundbreaking or important information, don’t you think it would be broadcast at a time when people would be home to watch it and not at 2 o’clock in the afternoon when everyone is still at work or school? Craziness…

     Actually people die from Tylenol every year. Acetaminophen overdose is a leading cause of acute liver failure in this country. Everything that we put into our bodies is risky. Used inappropriately in an inappropriate patient all medications can be harmful.

     Because of genetic and other variations within the population some number of individuals will always be harmed but treatments that help the vast majority of people. EVERY treatment or prophylaxis that you take needs to be evaluated for risk vs benefit.

     For Drs.

     How many of each item/fruit/vegetable or what size or weight of each item is required for good health and would be enough to meet government standards ?

     If the fruits and vegetables are COOKED instead of RAW, how much less of the nutrients do we get ? What % do we get from the cooked veggies ?

     Are Government standards accurate or are there OTHER standards that may have more accurate values ?

     Can You name which advertized remedies or supposed cures or fixes are more fraud than helpfull ?

     Can You name which ’shots’ are indeed helpfull for individuals and how much they should cost on average for an average person ?

     Since there are more phony claims for products than tried and true genuine proven results, can you direct us to a web site that can distinguish the difference and show us which product can help us and which is more hype than help ?

     They say broccoli and cabbage will help prevent bladder disease but only if eaten raw ! Is this true ? What about COOKED portions ? How large a portion is satisfactory.

     Are vegetables almost as healthy in the cooked state as when they are raw ? What is the difference percentage wise ?

     How long can you keep vitamins on the shelf or in refrigeration and have them potent or how much do they diminish after how long ?

     How much TV coverage of health topics can er believe in ? What is accurate and what is not ?

     What can you eat a lot of that would help you lose weight and fill you up so that you won’t feel hungry ?

     Ok Listen!!!!! I’m watching the episode about precocious puberty and
     1st of all 1. Someone should tell that little girl she’s beautiful and that she doesn’t look so “different” she just looks a little older. You guys can talk about the severity of the condition without congratulating over and over again for having high self esteem even though she looks so different. This isn’t exactly a society that discourages “over developed” women. And for acting purposes, you guys are all really really hot, but the attempts at “they’re stupid” was really unconvincing. Thats all. Love the show!
     p.s. Tell her mom she’s a bit1h, and that when kids make fun of you it defiantly doesn’t help when you put them in a tv show about how much your life sucks. Stop acting so tortured she would probably be alot happier if you didn’t remind her how different she is. Bottom like SHE JUST LOOKS OLDER!!!!

     I found it interesting on today’s show that you did not even discuss that childhood obesity can BRING ON early onset puberty. The child on the show was clearly obese. Yet, all you talked about was the early onset puberty…..there is another whole other side to this story and perhaps the family is not so “not to blame” after all. See:
     newslocale.org

     Childhood Obesity Signals Precocious Puberty in Girls

     Girls who are overweight or obese as toddlers face the risk of precocious puberty, according to researchers at the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital. The researchers said that obese girls having high body mass index (BMI) score at the age of 3 were most likely to reach puberty by 9 years of age and start menstruation before age 12.

     I’m a new mother of 5 month twin girls, I’ve been learning about making my own baby food, and have read to stay away from foods with nitrates. It also mentioned not to use water to mix cereal or other foods if you have well water. I live on a farm and only use nursery water for my babies, but what about when I give them a bath? Can some of those nitrates enter their pores and harm their body? I do use a water softener, and water salt.

With that said, I was watching the series on eyelash transplant and would love the chance to have a makeover. If given the opportunity to tell my story and attach before and after pics of my eyes and I believe, I would be an excellent candidate. I’m on “facebook” a website that we can express ourselves on and find old friends, and although I look like I have pretty eyes I DON’T. I glue on the individual black lashes on.

     I’m 51 my son move out about 8 months ago,I lost my job of 19 years. I’ve always worked in a office dressed nice and cared about the way I looked. In order to survive and had to take a job in a factory which changed my so. I don’t care about me anymore.(can’t afford and no one care or notices me like they used to.) I’ve gained 40 pd, went through menopause can’t get it off. Aged fast. Now I’ve lost my job again because of the ecconomy.(being shipped out). I’ve been divorced since 1987 my whole life was raising my son and doing for others.Thats why I lost my job of 19 years. A judge released a child in my custody from jail. I hope I could help him to change his life around, to see what it was like to have someone care and love them. The Clerk thought I had to much power as a clerk and fired me. The boy felt like it was his fault and left. I always thought I’d have time for me and I’d find someone to grow old with. Now I feel it’s too late. No job, lost my looks and body and I have no one who needs me to take care of them. GETTING OLD SUCKS. THANKS FOR LISTENING. Love what all of you are doing. Good show

     Hello doctors,
     I absolutely enjoy your show! I’m a 34 year old male from the state of nebraska who is suffering with lyme disease. I’m by no means bitter about my situation because my recover is going great but there are numerous patients with this disease who are not as fortunate. A year ago I couldn’t talk or walk and now would have to say I’m functioning at about 80-85% due to the treatment plan I’m on. The tests that many of the states use to determine lyme disease are completely out dated and inaccurate. Many doctors seem to think lyme disease is a regional disease and that ticks can’t cross state lines. I just don’t understand the logic in that. Before I was diagnosed I had a total of 17 doctors and specialists trying to figure out what was wrong with me in nebraska. Finally my family shipped me down to missouri to see a specialist(thank god they did!!!), who within the first half hour knew it was lyme disease. Later tests proved he was right and i began treatment. What followed was a complete nightmare!!! When I started feeling better I went back to the doctors who had tried to initially help me and told them my diagnosis with the idea of hoping to help someone with similar symptoms. Instead me and my family were basically laughed right out of their offices. I’m an extremely caring person and was just trying to help in case they ever came accross a case similar to mine. I didn’t want anyone to have to go through what I had been through!!! After some research, I found out what the word lyme means to the medical community…absolute TABOO!!! I think I would have been better off telling these doctors I was going to kill their first born child than even mention the word LYME. My question is not out of angry or bitterness but a real concern. Why will noone admit or even talk about lyme disease without some sort of apprehesion or doubt of disbelief in the medical community?

     Hi Doctors:

     After having my lovely son 5 years ago I’ve been having troble ovulating..About 2 months ago I went in for a doctor visit because for the past 3 years I been trying to have a baby .And when I go and take a pgrenacy test it was always negative so I decided to take a trip to my doctor office and I told him what was going on. But I always had a problem with my menstral cycle it’s never been normal ever I always have heavy bleeding so bad were I have to stay in bed I have to stay home from work and school and the pain oh gosh they are so bad. Which cause’s a big problem for me, even at one time I lasted 6 months with out my menstral cycle or I can last up to 3 months with my cycle .So I was told by my doctor that I had (PCOS) POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROM which of course I did’nt know what it was,or ment untill he told me. But I still dont quite understand it, ever since I was told I had (PCOS) I fell very depress ,emotional,very upset,loney and like no one understands what am going throw.I was put on medication for my hormones and also taking Metformin. But I feel like I need more answers what can I do to help myself get throw this I know there’s no cure for this but what can I do or take to help me ovulat because am not giving up on having children. And many woman don’t know about (PCOS) and I think it’s about time that woman knows and understand (PCOS). I really hope to hear from you soon.

     I have been enjoying watching this show since it started. Today I disagreed with the doctors in regard to diagnosing yourself online. I would be dead or dying today if I hadn’t diagnosed myself online (with inflammatory breast cancer) in 2007 and fought with my doctor to get the testing I needed to confirm that diagnosis. I was told that I couldn’t have IBC because I only had one symptom, not all of them, and that I had mastitis (usually found in young nursing women and I’m a senior citizen). I was then treated with antibiotics for ten days twice (not once, but twice), which is the standard treatment for mastitis. Then I was finally sent for a diagnostic mammogram which showed that I needed a biopsy to confirm or rule out IBC. The biopsy confirmed that I had IBC, which I had figured out myself over 2 months earlier. IBC does not usually have a lump…the tumors are in nests or sheets instead. It also doesn’t show on a routine mammogram (you need a diagnostic mammo which specifically looks for the sheeting or nesting). IBC is rare and the most aggressive form of breast cancer.

     There are women in my online support group who have been misdiagnosed or had their diagnosis delayed because they or their doctor(s) did not know about IBC. It is now my mission to educate the general public as well as the medical profession about the signs and symptoms of IBC so that more women are not condemned to death because of ignorance.

     Dear Drs. My dad has a 3 lead pacemaker. He has been ill and has lost a lot of weight. When they put the pacer in they put it under the skin and between the hematoma he had following the surgery and the fact that he is so thin,the skin has thinned out and the wires are now very close to the surface and at a risk of coming through the skin.That would be a very bad thing. The Dr. wants to operate on him and put it under the muscle. That puts him at great risk and will cause him a lot of pain for about 4-6 weeks. He was wondering if a plastic surgeon would be able to repair the area with a piece of skin taken from elsewhere to cover over that area and protect his pacer and wires. If that isn’t a good idea, why?

     Hi, I am actually watching the show right now and its an episode about picky eaters. I have been “bento-ing” for a bit. It adds a visual appeal to the food and kids love it (and me too, and my husband and room mate). Bento is a japanese lunch with a “cute” appeal to it; some have characters in it, animal shapes, colour, and awesome lunch “boxes.” There is a site that I believe would help benefit the parents out there: lunchinabox.net

     There are tons of ideas for lunches and how to prepare something a child will eat. Even if it is a piece of cucumber, if its shaped like a star the child will eat it. Happy bento-ing!

     I was watching your show today about cafeteria food. I think it unfair to blame the cafeteria we have guidelines we have to follow by the goverment. I feel it is up to the parents to teach their kids how to eat healthy the cafeteria has alot of healthy choices but we can’t tell your kids what to eat. Go online and see what they are buying. Just like everthing else it starts at home. How many parents are so busy they run through fast food for supper and think about what their eating? I think it’s about time to quit blaming the schools we only feed your kids one meal maybe two what do they eat when they are with you?

     When I tuned in for the first time today, you ran a commercial about processed foods in school lunches & its relationship to cancer later in life.

     1. The black woman doctor (I don’t know your name, but I really like you) is right on this and many other aspects of our lives. “Moderation is key!” I preach moderation to everyone about everything.

     2. The processed food ONCE a day in a school lunch is not the problem. Its the processed food during breakfast and dinner when the child is NOT at school that fosters poor eating habits and cancer risk. The responsibility for balanced nutrition should fall on the parents, not the schools.

     Thank you and have a nice day.

     I was the exact same way when I was her age. I was not able to go to school when I had my period, because the pain was so bad. They put me on medicine for nausea and pills for the cramps, they did not help much. My doctor ended up putting me on birth control pills and I haven’t had any problems since. I am now 29.

     I was hospitalized last Dec due to extreme fluid that had to be removed. I also had 2 Liver biopsies and was told I had Liver disease. I don’t drink or smoke. The specialist said I could have had a virus.
     My doctor doesn’t tell me anything about the extensive tests I had so I am in the dark. I want to know everything. How can I get him to open up?
     I am on Lasix, but still get edema. Also, can the Liver regenerate itself? I really enjoy the show! Please help me. I am 68 and have a clear mind. I write for a magazine. So I do keep busy, but I’m so tired and don’t sleep well.

     Any one experiencing these symptoms. Since April of 2009, whenever I walk and stop moving, in my head I feel like I’m still moving. Lying still in bed makes me feel good and driving in a car, however, once I start moving around again the symptoms come back. Almost like a delayed motion sickness. I’ve been on several antibotics, checked for allergies, CAT and MRI and even tried vertigo treatment. Dr’s can’t seem to figure out what is wrong.

     Back in 2004, I had given birth to a set of twins at 34 weeks gestation. When I arrived at the hospital their heart beats were strong. Then the DR administered an epidural and some 30+ minutes later they did an emergency section and I lost them both? It wasn’t a planned delivery, but he told me that they were health enough to make it.. I am so confused.. I have a hard time talking about it.

     To avoid back injuries to children, our school district has supplied our children with textbooks to remain at home for the school year. Each teacher has a classroom set for the students to use in the classroom. Backpacks are much lighter having only necessarey notebooks and folders.

I was told that I needed to have my uterus removed but the fibroid was to big to do the vaginal surgery. And since I had a double c-section (my son was hiding behind the fibroids so I had to be cut from belly button down as well as bikini to get him out) in February 2008, I don’t want to do another c-section.

     Recently a family member, during the night, while on an Ambien, shot and killed himself.

     He loved his daughter more than anything and had recently started using the Patch in order to stop smoking. It didn’t make sense. Now it does.
     Now, after Googling Suicide by Ambien, I am reading that this has happened to others. See link below.

     I just watched the segment on Anti-perspirants and I found the doctors to be very flip in their answers. They spent only a minute addressing the concerns and then moved on. I believe that anything I can do as a woman to decrease the chances of breast cancer is the thing to do. I have not worn anti-perspirants for over 4 years and use only natural deodorants or mineral salt. Whether this is helping I have no idea, but it is certainly not hurting. My own gynocologist of 25 years has agreed with me and encourages me. This was my first time watching and also my last.

     Regarding the discussion placed about lowering the drinking age today, not one of you had any facts about this.

     1) The reason the age was rasied from 18 to 21 was that congress passed a law stating that 10% of their highway funding would be cut if was not.

     2) Deadly teenage accidents related to alchohol INCREASED when the law was passed, then has severly decreased over the passed several years probably due to safer cars more than anything else.

     Feel free to send me your thoughts; but next time dont open a discussion if not a single person has read anything to do with it. You are doctors stick to a medical discussion and not a legal one.

     Everyone knows this is true. Why is ther never any change? My son’s teacher’s response was “well, that’s pretty standard.” He is barely 60 pounds and his backpack is about 15 (25%).

     Interesting info on recent Gall Bladder operating techniques. But Doctors are often too ready to operate (since that is their specialty) and do not see beyond their box. Gall Bladder cleanses have been around for 3,000 years, and often work. My own experience was dramatic, from constant pains and other symptoms to not only pain free but an ultrasonic scan that proved all was normal after the cleanse. A far better alternative to surgery. I encourage the Doctors to keep less invasive techniques in mind.

I am not a stutterer but I was one of those kids in school that everyone liked to pick on because I was different. My hope has always been that people will come to realize differences do not define who we are but instead are a part of what makes us all unique and special. I don’t know Jennifer and probably never will but I can see something special in her smile. I pray that the device will help curb her stuttering and she will gain the happiness that I am sure she deserves.

     Jennifer, I was looking forward to see you on the show.For some reason my DVR did not record. My son is 35 years old now and has suffered since he was three. I have tried every Doctor anyone suggested. We spent a week at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston with Dr. Rosembloom. The speech pathologist at East Carolina University was also very helpful for quite some time. He actually came to our home for a few days to watch interaction with family and his sisters.Just for an out of office setting.He spent a week at a stutter camp with a one on one speech pathlogist in the late 70’s. In the last few years I’ve recieved material on the Fluency Device.
     Richard W. Burk has a stutter radio station.
     I have done a lot of research as you can see and would like very much for you and your parents to contact me. As I said, I missed the show to see how this new device works.
     If you are not allowed to contact me, possibly a represenative of yours or the show would be so kind to do so.
     I always knew some day somebody would come up with a working solution.
     I don’t want my address on the internet, but I will send it to the show in hopes they will pass it along to you.

I did some research and found out that it clogs you pores so you don’t sweat and sweating is a natual thing your body does to cool you off so your body does not over heat so how can clogging your pours to prevent you from sweating be a good thing?

     I like the show, but was wondering if you could
     cover the topics of Bedwetting, what age should this stop or what can be done about it and teenage girls having really bad periods each month, and what can be done to help that also,
     thanks

     After watching how to potty train, this is how I potty trained my 4 children. I, as a parent, had to be disciplined and I would take them, starting at the age of 2, to use the potty every hour. I did not use pull-ups, not available at the time. I personally think they hinder not help the training process. If a child wets or makes a poo-poo mess, they feel the sensation and don’t like it, motivating them to try to make it to the potty. I rewarded with stickers or praise – never food.

     I think they were pretty hard on the potty training nurse. So she gives them a lot of junk food. It’s one evening, and it’s for a purpose. How is this significantly different than say, drinking that horrid glucose stuff adults have to drink when they take a Glucose Tolerance Test? It’s a means to an end.

     I think it’s more dangerous to be as pro plastic surgery as they are. It has profound effects on us as a society.

     I viewed your show on Potty training, I’m also a heath care professional and find issues with children cleaning up their own fecal matter and urine. This seems unsanitary, and unfair to a mind that has not fully developed yet.I trained my children by sprinkling fruit loops in the toilet(for my son)this became a game and was fun for him and he complied within days. I also rewarded him with new books, playdough,markers, and toys that would stimulate the learning process. Thank You for your time.

     I disagree with the pediatrician who stated that circumcisions are just cosmetic. My father was not circumcised, and worked in a dirty factory, eventually giving my mother cervical cancer. Cervical cancer among Jewish marriages is lower because circumcisions are part of religious tradition.

     Also, I wonder, how many boys are taught how to care for that area by their fathers, circumcised or not?

     I get really frustrated when I watch your show. You are so unwilling to think that there are other modalities and options for people other than conventional medicine. I am thankful that we have conventional medicine here in the United States but you are not open to hearing other options that can help people. If any of you were ill for a long period of time and conventional medicine did not work for you, maybe you would be open to other treatments. The recent doctor that explained to you that research had been completed in Russia in regards to salt treatment was very interesting but the reaction and smirk on the face of the female doctor is the reaction of a lot of conventional doctors that only feel that they have the answers and are very narrow minded. You had a two patients that told you the results that they had were positive but you overlooked that because it did not fit into your box of knowledge.

     Hello,
     I am from Canada. I watch your show & I love it!
     I am writing to find out if you know of anywhere in Canada, if there are makeover programs or anything of the kind here…I have not seen any. When seeing anything to improve appearances, it is usually in the back of a magazine & you have to pay an exuberant amount & fly to a foreign country…no thx!
     And plastic surgeons here do not talk about the procedures I have seen on your show…healing in 2 weeks instead of 2 months!The results I have seen are amazing!!! Fantastic!:)
     My concerns are my teeth & my breasts.
     I am single 45 year old mom, people think I am 35. I feel younger for my age…mentally , but physically I feel that I have really aged… I got out of an abusive relationship 5 years ago.I went through a couple of years of rehabilitation as my ex was an alcoholic. I feel good today mentally as I say but have not dated in 5 years as I am self conscious , when I smile. With the stress that I endured, I went through 1 year of treatment at the dentist, half my teeth are falling out still. It stabilized for awhile but my front tooth slipped down so much…I hardly smile. I haven’t dated..my breasts feel like they have sagged down to my waist…and I feel the lines on my face show the wear & tear of those years of turmoil….I just feel I would like my mental state to match my physical state…I feel time is passing, & I would really like to meet someone but I refrain.
     With all that …I would really like to hear from with you with what ever information you have available:):)

     Thx!….Christine:)

     I am 21 and have no breasts. I saw how you helped give Ananda breast implants, but I was wondering if there was any natural ways to grow your breasts and keep them that size. I am so tired of waiting for my breasts to get bigger (I am an A), but they just are not. I heard that your breasts get bigger after you have children. Is that true? And I don’t plan to have kids until my late 20s. Is it possible for them to grow that late in my life? I just want to feel like a woman, I am tired of stuffing my bras! Can you please help?

     My 24 year old daughter has a condition where one of her hips is higher than the other which has been diognosed as scolious. Recently she has been experiencing terrible back and hip pain. I had read an article in “Womans World” about a doctor in Cincinnati, Ohio who had preformed an operation a young 16 who had many of the same symtoms as my daughters. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

     I am a Type I (Juvenile onset) diabetic and have had it for over 30 years. When I was diagnosed, I was told I was a brittle diabetic. I was overjoyed when humulin was created, because in my mind things that are closer to human is better than things taken from animals. I was later sickened when I discovered I am allergic to humulin insulin. There is only 2% of the population that have this problem, but now there are no longer any options for those of us with this disease. All insulin companies, in the U.S. and Canada, have quit making the pork insulin. I have many problems with humulin. I cannot feel low blood sugars coming on. I cannot gauge my blood sugars without a finger poke. I cannot tell my blood sugar is high until it hits 600. During one week, I was in the emergancy room seven times due to low blood sugars. My daughter has known how to deal with this since she was seven years old. It is a difficult disease, but not being able to get the medication that would help me control my blood sugars better is really a pain. I had a complete hysterectomy because my doc thougt it miight help. I lost my daughters twin, in the second trimester, due to complications from my blood sugars. To find out years later that I could have had more children if I had been on the right insulin, is depressing. I know there are at least three more people through my doc’s office that are allergic to humulin. What are our options, or do we have any. The only option I have found is to order my insulin from England, but my economic situation does not allow for that.

     I just tuned into “The Drs” for the first time and was totally turned OFF! The female doctor first made a comment about how big the diaghragm was. How rude! I bet she doesn’t have any children. I have four children and things do change! So what! And then, promoting waxing the vaginal area! Give me a break. We don’t need to pay the money and go through the pain of that. Then, they of course have to talk about breast implants! That young girl was just beautiful. She didn’t need bigger breasts. She needed more confidence in herself and to break away from this society that has dumb shows like this! I am never going to watch this show again and will advise my friends not to do so either.

     I am 21 yrs old and a single mother of 2 children. i have just recently watch your show on breast implants and i was wondering if you knew about this procedure where after you have had a child they will take that extra baby fat from your tummy and add that to your breast instead of silicone. Is this procedure safe and will it work as well as a breast implant? I have always been self conscious about my breast because i am an A cup. Every time i am out with my sister who is a D cup im always feeling like I’m not as pretty and don’t fit in cause everyone will talk to her because she has breasts but wont me. I am also always asked if i am 12 because i am short and don’t have breast. I have always wanted to get it done but being a single mother of 2 it is hard to save up for this and the one that i had mentioned is a little cheaper. Also it will get rid of the little bit off baby fat that i have left from my kids. And those r the 2 main things that i will not show off when being intimate. I really appreciate your time in reading my concerns.

Why is it that doctors that I have come in contact with do not know what this is and I also have found a few people with the same things wrong as my daughter but have never been told of this disorder? maybe one of your shows could be on womens disorders such as this so doctors and the public could be aware of it’s symptoms and what it can do to a womens body.I was also told that she may not be able to have a child because of this, is this true?

     Dear All the Dr’s,
     I am an unfortunate disabled veteran with deafness in my right ear and 60% in my left. But this is not what I am writing you about, I am writing to Dr. Andrew Ordon. I am a 40 year old young lady, but am feeling like I am 15 years old. I am an A cup but have had two children one a C-section at 21 and a 15 year whom I had at 25. I have severe strech marks and the tummy pouch that I can’t get rid of. I don’t know if it is because I am tiny at 4′10″ or not, but I have lived with this forever. I have always wanted to be a c-cup to feel like a real woman and wanted a tummy tuck and to try to get rid of all the deep scaring. I have not removed my shirt or sweatshirt in fall and winter when I make love with my partner. I have not worn a bathing suit not even a one piece since I was 20 years old. I want to have this surgery to feel like a real woman which I have never felt like. I just recieved news that I will have a hysterectomy on top of all this in the next month. (November 2008) and I will be in the hospital on Thanksgiving one of my favorite holidays and I really feel that I need this more than ever to really feel like what they say the new 40 is the new 30. Not that I really care what anyone thinks but I have been teased when I was younger and still looked at like I am late 20’s early 30’s but I don’t feel like it. I have had horrible self esteem issues with this my whole life but my partner is who I feel bad for him because I am so self concious about by body appearance not only will I not let him see it I hate to look at myself in the mirror naked. HELP !!! I am begging you for your expertise and would be so blessed to hear from you. I don’t know how to email you at the show so I wanted to try this. I watch your show. Since I was a medic in the United States Air Force and I love your show I watch it everyday! Your advise and expertise on all areas is great for the public and if you don’t get this I at least want you to know I love your show, God Bless all of you and Keep up the good work!!

     HI doctors, about 4 years ago I had went to my family doctor because I wasn’t feeling like my normal self, he diagnosed me with OCD and Depression, so he put me on ZOloft. After 4 years of taking it I never felt any better. I would have outrageous outbursts and I would have some serious thoughts of hurting people, sometimes including my kids, which I never did, but then I switched family doctors about 2 years ago, and he was still filling my prescription, then about a month ago he had me take this test and he then diagnosed me with Bi-Polar.And told me that I should have been treated for Bi-Polar to begin with. I was wondering why my first doctor was so quick to say it was depression? I know the symptoms seem the same, but I’m a little angry that when I would tell my first doctor all he would tell me was, it will take a while to get used to the pills. And all I can think about now is what if I didn’t switch family doctors and 10 years from now, would I have done something that I would have regret doing.. and my other question is I don’t understand how after 27 years of life I could all the sudden be Bi-Polar. Is that possible? does it just happen out of the blue or is it something that happens from birth? because I don’t remember feeling the ways I do when I was younger. and I’m I being mistreated again?

     I am a mother of three beautiful girls , who would like to try one more time for a boy!! however I suffer from extreme hyperemisis . I wish I could find a true caring doctor who understands this pregnancy problem. Each time I have been pregnant , my start weight is about 115lbs , by the time I am 3-4 months my weight is at about 75-80 lbs due to the extreme vomiting of everything . I am told by the doctor or O.B. that most of this is in my head , I do not think drinking water and vomiting seconds later is in my head. I am usually admitted to the hospital after they realize I am extremely dehydrated and starving and weighing almost nothing to only be hooked up to IV and left to be in a coma state . until BY the 5th month I can maybe on my own sip water. When I finally can do that I get to leave the hospital only to return for more bed rest for other complications and at 7 months I deliver a pre-term baby , who then gets to stay in the hospital for up to a month or more for it’s own complications. It really upsets me that their is more hype on T.V. about women who choose to over eat and then complain about their weight they gain during their pregnancy . Something I feel is a choice about taking care of our bodies. I am not so lucky to even been given that choice . I do not do drugs,smoke or drink . What is even more upsetting is that when it comes to T.V. shows they only talk about subjects they are ”fully trained” in to look like they are a bigger success ,than they truly are. I bet you never knew there was such an illness for women who wanted a baby and the hell of surviving this life theatning illness . That’s because the lack of Doctor acknowledgment and the lack of HYPE you fail to see on T.V. shows . God for bid they would take on this illness as a real one. If it is to hard to deal with, it is all about moving on to an easier topic, for these so called professionals . I hope i didn’t offend anyone ,but there are more serious problems that trump those , that can be choice given ones . To this new Doctor show , I hope you prove me wrong and your show is a true type of show that really gets information out there to all watching and not just the selected same old topics, we have already been informed about , on many other shows. Since you have been on, I have tried to watch , after watching todays show about over eating during pregnancy just hurt me . Again a topic that should only require common sense. I don’t expect a reply , but i hope you at least read this .

     I hear you Matilda and I really feel for you!! I had a similar problem with my 2 babies.It is very distressing and I hope you can get some help.I had very caring doctors fortunately so I would tell you too look around,there are doctors out ther that no that vomiting is not all in your head! That’s ridiculous! My friend had the problem too and she got a pic line put in her for the first several months so she wouldn’t dehydrate.
     It is frustrating to hear the doctor show talk about eating crackers,drinking ginger tea etc.to stop nausea.You can’t do that when you can’t even sip water!
     Have you tried medications before,for there are medications.My friend was on them too and so was I and they do help and are safe for the baby.I can’t remember the name of them now,but I will let you know when I do.
     Good luck and I don’t want to offend you in any way,but if you really want a boy you could possibly look into adopting,than you would be sure you had a boy.

     To make a long story short, We were adopting 3 children, I was very overweight and had very high BP along with alot of other health issues. I had GBS Sept. 2004, one month later my husband fell at work and fractured both heels. With both of us trying to heal, we were both terrified that the adoption would not go through, but it did. In the meantime, within 8 months I went from 260 pounds to 145 pounds, throwing up almost every other day, bad stomach pains, had at least 3 endoscopies done, had an ulcer where the new intestine attached to the pouch. All but a few of my health issues went away but I was getting depressed and thought everything was going to go well. My GBS surgeon made me feel like a number and my support group wanted support but didn’t give any. So I was on my own. I was told I had to wait 18 months before I can have a panni done. I did not mind the flabby arms or useless boobs, but the stomach Apron gave me rashes and would even bleed. My regular doctor told me to use powder. This went on for about another year. Now no one will do anything and I started to loose self esteem, did not look in the mirror or wanted my husband to even look at me. I would still do the surgery in a heart beat, but wish I had a doctor that listened to me and a better support group. Because of my low self esteem and stomach apron, my BP started to go up, I still throw up every couple of weeks and have stomach problems. I wish somehing can be done, I feel like I can’t bend over anymore like my stomach is bloated and I get these pains like something is stuck, like you have a pulled muscle, but in the stomach area. I am now up to 178 pounds and I think something is wrong. But no one wants to see me because I had this surgery done and my GBS doctor has closed my case. I want them to go back in and check to make sure nothing happened to the new pounch. I feel like I have been branded and shoved under the carpet. I have these three lovely children and a lovely patient husband. I want to live a very long life. I am still on disablility and on Medicare. My husband does not work, he too is on disablilty; so we can’t afford to go to specialist. I am at a lost and don’t know where to turn for help. Thank you for your time and hope to hear from you soon. God Bless.

     Ten days ago, after being rushed to the ER, I was diagnoses three-fold. I had Lyme’s Disease; Pneumonia in the left lung; and at some point since last February, have had a mini-stroke. I have been given an antibiotic to fight the Lyme’s Disease as well as the Pneumonia, but no further direction in what to expect, what the prognosis is or how long I should stay on the antibiotics. Are I am to assume, that when I run out of antibiotics, I should be fine. I have heard so many different stories, especially on the Lyme Disease diagnosis. My mom was diagnoses with pneumonia last year and after a month of not feeling better; one more trip to the ER found a diagnosis of lung cancer and she had died 6 weeks later. A mini-stroke, somehow to me does not require, two baby asprin a day and life will be good!!! Where do I turn, what do I do to push some sort of follow up on these diagnosis. I don’t want to sound like a hydrochondriac, as these diagnosis are real, but I don’t want to assume it will just simply work itself out, considering that I have not felt well for a month now. Anyone have any suggestions for where I should turn. My insurance company requires “referrals” from my doctor. What if my doctor feels these are things he can take care of, even though by now, I feel I would like to see a specialists to ease my mind.

     PLEASE BE AWARE THERE ARE MORE SIGNS OF LYME DISEASE THAN A BULL’S EYE. YOU CAN HAVE SMALL ROUND RASHES ALL OVER YOUR BODY. NOT JUST A BULL’S EYE! YOU ARE LUCKY IF YOU GET THESE RASHES. THEY GO AWAY WITHOUT TREATMENT. BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN YOU DON’T HAVE LYME DISEASE. GO TO THE DOCTOR IF YOU SEE ANY KIND OF A RASH. TREATMENT IS ANTIBIOTICS. EASY FIX FOR SUCH A HORRIBLE DISEASE IF LEFT UNTREATED. I’VE HAD TWICE AND BOTH TIMES DIFFERENT SIGNS.

     Today’s show discussed tick bites. Last year while in Montana, I had a tick bite. And, you are so correct in stating a deer tick is VERY tiny. I happened to see it on my shoulder while taking a shower. Three days later I was as sick as I have ever been. I had every symptom you mentioned except the classic rash. Fortunately, my husband is a phamacist and when the symptoms began, he called my doctor who told him to leave work right then and get me started on doxycycline. A week later when my WBC fell to a little over 900, I was admitted to the hospital for IV doxycycline and IV fluids.I am OK now and haven’t had any long term effects. My WBC is still low but definitely higher than 900. Fortunately, I knew I had been bitten and treatment was begun immediately when the symptoms began. My question is “How common is it to have all symptoms except the rash?” Thanks for producing such an informative show and one that has information for all people.

     I would be very interested in the Dr’s doing a show on the connections and benefits between Allopathic and Osteopathic Physician’s. I think the world is familiar and understanding about M.D’s, yet there are many folks who do not know or understand Osteopathy. There are great benefits to Osteopathic Manipulation that can compliment and enhance physicians treatments to pain. There is a whole world of natural and beneficial treatments in Osteopathy and many M.D.’s are tuning into these treatments and realizing the benefits. Osteopathy has a very interesting and powerful history in the United States, with growing pains and triumphs throughout. Please consider doing a show about Osteopathy and the options patients have for their health.
     Thank you.

     As just mentioned on the show: the sciatica nerve- can be fixed with Osteopathic treatment! (very different than Chiropractors, which branched off of Osteopathy early on…)

     I have had implants for about 10 yrs. They are silicon and above the muscal. They are very soft and can not even be felt by the person doing mamagram. Can they turn hard after all this time? What other problem might I have after 10 yrs. if any. Now you have me worried after I saw your show 10/07/08. There was no mention of how long it takes them to become hard. I thought they were the best thing that ever happened to me. So far so good.

     I have been watching your show since it first aired and have thoroughly appreciated the information the doctors share. I have related to several stories and feel I can better advocate for myself on future doctor appointments. That said, I was extremely disappointed in the joking and lightheartedness of the doctors on Monday, October 6th when discussing sexual addiction. This is a very serious issue affecting the marriages of our nation. As a wife of an addict, I have battled with self-worth, body image, emotional stress and trust issues for the four years of our marriage. We have participated in counseling, both individually and in a couples counseling group. My husband is not cured of this addiction, but I do have hope for deliverance from this monster, God willing. Please realize that this is not a laughing matter, but a serious condition that affects both men and women. I truly would appreciate the doctors doing a little bit of research before joking about a very real addiction affecting 8% of American men. Doctors, please choose your words carefully.

     Hi
     I am 48yrs old. I was diagnoised with Breast Cancer April 04. I had surgery to remove the tumor, 6 rounds of chemo, 5wks of radiation and 3 treatments of Brachy therapy, and several years of physio and massage therapy to soften the scare tissue. The breast scare has quite a dent and the nipple area has been pulled to the left. This causes problem with my upper back. I feel my breast are large for my frame. I am 5′9″ small boned and weight 139. My question is, can this be fixed. Make the scare not so puckered, bring the nipple area back to the right position. Also would like the Breast made smaller. Thank you. Sharron

     I watched your show today as I do most every day. Terrific program. Today’s topic was on ADHD and diagnostic tests. Symptoms are very much like my grandnephew’s. The pediatrician put him on a mild medication, not ridilyn, without any tests. What was the brain test called that showed the four circles? I was jotting down info and didn’t quite catch it and when I looked up at the screen it was just flashing off, so still not sure. Was it QUED? And what does it stand for? Will most neurologists be familiar with it? And again, what does each circle indicate? I only heard discussion on upper left and lower right circles. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer this, and thank you again for your show.

I need info on the ADD learning Center, QEEG’s test, neurotheraphy, neurofeedback & a doctor in my area to help us.

     I was told I had Cushings Disease. They removed a 10.8cm tumer & the left adreanal gland that had engulfed the gland. the right gland had quit working so I needed meds till it started working again. I had all the classic symtems but no one knew why I was so obese 350 plus lbs with a humpty dumpty build, a camel hump, facal hair and altered female parts. By the time I was diagnosed it was almost to late, the steroids had destroyed almost all my organs. I was loosing body fluid through the skin on my legs because the skin was so thin on the lowed part of my legs they could not hold it.
     Through it all my Dr. treated each problem but not the problem as a whole. He even wrote in my chart that I was morbidly obese because when my elbow bent my mouth opened. It took many surgeries and I still have problems.
     Why don’t more Dr.s know about this is it that rare or was my Dr. a idiot.

     talking about the drinking age, i disagree and think it is a bad idea to lower it again… i was born in 1967…so it was lower when i went to school.. not a big drinker at all.. just one thing, there are some kids that are 18 when they are a senior in high school, bad idea. 18 would not be a good idea to go ahead and say yes you can drink.. Also bars would have a lot of problems with the younger stupid antics on the younger crowd. very against lowering the age to 18 that’s for sure..

     My husband and I are parents of a 4 year old boy and a 7 year old girl. We have been battling severe temper tantrums with our 7 year old daughter. They can come out of nowehere. Simple things can trigger them, no specific thing. And they can last anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour sometimes. Eventually she will fall asleep at times from being totally worn out. She kicks, screams, throws things, etc. We have tried the time outs and settling down time. We are at our breaking point of not knowing what to do. I try to remain calm, but sometimes that can get the better of you! The behaivior at school seems to be fine, but the tantrums can also happen in public always with my husband and I. Sometimes just over which car seat she is going to sit in. We have taken certain toys away and special privleges at times, but she does not seem to care sometimes. Our youngest is very concerned as are we. Is this normal for a 7 year old? And what do we do?? I am a stay at home mom and sometimes I feel like I just want to give up and go back to work. It can be very exhausting.I hate seeing our little girl to be so enitirely upset. HELP!! Thank you for your time.

In the past couple of years I have gone to Prolosec OTC simply because it is less expensive. I take two in the morning. In the last three months I have noticed my voice becoming much more raspy, and have had a persistent cough for the past month. No sore throat, and the cough is more prevalent after going to bed. I was just wondering if the acid reflux had anything to do with the cough and voice problems.

     In may of 2007 I had surgery for a prolapsed rectum. The incision was made from just above my belly button down to my pelvic area. The incision became absessed and tunneled. In July they reopened the incision and left it open. It healed up to two holes and the two holes tunneled and connected. I was reopened again in April 2008. The plastic surgeon was unable to do anything due to a hernia. The wound just does not seem to heal. It closes to a certain point and will just stop. I have been living with this open wound for over a year now and am desperate for some answers and a plan for how to get the wound healed. I also have a disease called Schleroderma and am wondering if there is a link between the two as to why I am not healing. I would greatly appreciate your help!

     I saw your show on ADD today. I have a 7yr old grandson who we thinks has (asburger) (hi*functioning) syndrom.He is being treated for ADD with adderall.
     We have a family history of this as my daughter has ADD and bi polar along with food allergies. She was never treated for the ADD except for her diet of no sugar, she is 37yrs old now and was raised to know certain food would make her feel bad and act out. She does not want her son to go through all she has and would like to know what DR in the md area John Hopkins is close. she did take him to the Kennedy Krugar Int. they told her it was bad parenting. She started him on adderall the first of sept and can see the biggest change in him. Since there is a test out there that can really test for this we would like some more information on the bio feed back. As we ae scared of the medication side effects. his 2nd cousin has asburger syndrom and his uncle has ADD so this runs in the family.we also thought it was bad parenting skills but when you have 2 children and one has ADD and the other dosen’t it is not bad parenting skill.

     Hello, I love your show. It is so informative and all of you speak so well. I would love to be in the audience. I would like to ask a question, I probably have hundreds to ask but I will be good. My daughter has morphea/scleraderma. It has grown a bit over the last 3 years. It is located on her left side and it is bothersome to her at times. We go to rheumatologist every 3 months. She is 23 years old. Is having a baby going to be complicated for her when the time comes? I would like to hear more about this auto immune disease and what else goes with it. thank you so much for your time and knowledge. I hope the show lasts for a long time. be well,

     I watched your show today regarding new testing for Adhd. It gave me hope. I cried for the mother & child as I know first hand how the symtoms change lives. My son & our family are struggleing right now. I am scrabbling to figure out the cause of his symtoms. Next month he is supposed to see the Piediatrician about this. I am frightened that he’ll be misdiagnosed and that drugs will be prescribed. I have done much research and believe that his symtoms may be related to a breathing problem he has had since he was an infant. It has always seemed to me that there is some sort of blockage in is nasal airway. When we seen the first ENT I believe just after his 2nd birthday. I questioned him on the possibility of Aaron having pollups and if there was a way he could find out. He said not without putting him out. He said he would schedule him for a tonsilectomy & adnoid removel. I asked him if while the surgery was being performed if he found that he had pollups or something else that may be causeing the blockage if he would still remove his tonsils & adnoids? His was very cold in his reply of “Well if you want him to breath better.” At that point I took my child and left the office. I asked for a second opion. Shortly after this Aaron got a cold and within a couple days a large lump appeared on his tonsil and still remains. At least three doctors since then have stated that it looks like an overgrown tonsil. The second specialist we seen in Grande Prairie months after we seen the first specialist in Yellowknife did not recommend tonsil & adnoid removel unless it was causeing major problems. Now you must realize the very idea of my son having surgery of any kind scared me to death and though his behavior problems & difficuly focusing were and are extremely hard and fusterateing to deal with hearing that surgery wasn’t necessary was great news to me. At that time I was desperate and grasping at straws as to why he was the way he was,while avoiding anything that involved surgery or drugs. I became my own worst enemy makeing excuses for his bad behavior by laying the blame on myself and sometimes my husband. I figured I wasnt’ doing something right as a mother, I wasn’t diciplineing him properly, I was spoiling him..anything that would take the focus off the fact that it could have been a much deeper root cause as I found it and still find it difficult in dealing with the doctors here. We don’t have a family doctor as most that come here are only here three weeks then gone again. 15 minutes isn’t much time to explain to a doctor my sons med. history and I’m sooo tired of when attempting to explain to some of them what I think is going on to see them simply shake their head then go on to prescribe him a nasal spray. I am hoping to do better with this next appointment. I am filling out the required forms they gave me and have given his teacher of last year and his teacher of this the forms I was instructed to by the nurse at the clinic. I am also going write down everything I can possibly think of in regards to my feelings of what I think could be causeing this chaos in our lives. I wish we had the machine I seen on your show today but I’ll do the best I can for my son. He’s a brilliant, funny, loving little guy and deserves a chance at living a “normal” life.

     I am 45 yrs of age and have been having trouble getting pregnant and carrying full term again. I have had 2 miscarriages then a successful pregnancy and 3 more miscarriages. I have been under the care of a specialist and because of my age they have ruled out % wise that I would have less than 1% of having a normal pregnancy. I have been reading up on DHEA for infertile woman of 40+ years of age and was wanting your thoughts on this medicine. Is it worth trying? Pros/Cons but not taken for a long period of time.

     I tuned in late today and don’t know if this was covered, but talking about overuse of antibiotics: Could others comment on their experiences with clostridium difficile (AKA ‘c. diff.’ in medical jargon)? I’m the caregiver for my grandmother, who has been in and out of the hospital a lot with UTIs, which were treated with megadoses of antibiotics back-to-back. I’d never heard of c. diff. before and nothing was done to prevent it, but the nurses & CNAs recognized the symptoms instantly when it occurred. It’s actually pretty common in hospitals and nursing homes and would be preventable if people only knew to take probiotics 2-3 hours after taking the antibiotics. My grandmother has also had MRSA several times. I keep her at home now because the “treatment” she received in all three of the nursing homes she’s been in has been absolutely horrible! The “skilled nursing” staff (ha ha ha) didn’t adhere to any of the standards of aseptic catheter care and just kept giving her antibiotics like candy for the infections that were continuous there. But now at home — by careful use of the probiotics and other natural supplements — she can take the antibiotics she still occasionally needs for UTIs and not have the continual recurrances of the dreaded c. diff. There have got to be millions of people in this country suffering needlessly from these extremely dangerous yet easily preventable ailments.

He was diagnosed with Pericarditis after many more spells like this.It is now October and he is still in severe pain. Now when he passes out it is almost seisure like, his toes dance and his left arm spasms and so does his right leg. We can’t get the doctors to listen they have even told us that they think he is making it up.I know that there is something wrong.

     I agree with Carole about checking your water supply as a possible source of UTIs. After the problems started with my grandmother that caused her to have to live with a catheter, several people where I live reported similar problems affecting children and the elderly. City officials denied the charge and claimed that the families were ‘making stuff up’ until the problems were positively traced back to our municipal water supply. It has *supposedly* been corrected a year or so after all the controversy began BUT as a precaution I now give my grandmother only distilled water.

     Antibiotic misuse: I have been in nursing for 40 years. I have seen a practice by MD’s that I believe contributes to growth of “superbugs”.
     They prescribe only 5 days of antibiotics which is NEVER enough to overcome the infection (no matter where it is). So, some of the bacteria survive and the infection flares up even stronger and it takes more antibiotics or stronger ones and longer usage to rid the infection. I cannot begin to count the number of times I have had to call an MD to continue or re-order antibiotics. After 5 days, the redness or other symptoms are still present.
     Whatever happened to 7-10 days of antibiotic use?

     In April I gave birth to my 5 kid, I had another epidural(my 5th), this time was different, when they gave me the shot I felt a strong pain shoot up past my heart to my head. I instantly had a headache. I told the dr. I had a headache and they told me they would give me some medicine for the pain during my surgery(I had a cesarean, my 3rd). They gave me some medicine and I threw up during surgery. Since my surgery 6months ago, I have lower back numbness and pain in my lower back going down to my left foot. They did an MRI and the dr. said there was nothing really serious but she did see pressure in two places on my spine. They sent me to a Neurologist and he tested me with the needles and He said I was fine. But every morning when I get up I am in pain and I feel like an 80 year old person. I am only 39 yrs old. I am taking Norco 10/325 and Lamotrigine 25mg. and this is not really working for me. What should I do?

     If you are taking 2 otc per day you must pay about $50/mo for your pills. If your insurance won’t pay it but other options cause unwelcome side effects it is considered a failure and therfore reasonable to try another option. If Nexium works best you may be able to continue trying other PPI’s until a PA or Prior Authorization is neccesary to get the Nexium. If you do better on any of the treatments along the way then maybe you don’t need Nexium. I am concerned that you are taking 2/day when insurance should give you a better ppi instead. If you don’t have insurance (none) go to the Nexium website to apply for it free.

     Here is something that confuses me still. Parents with children that are diabetic but “do not limit the type of food they eat” is this some new way to control diabetes or just ignorance and making sure their child has uncontrollable diabetes as an adult and can’t get a grip on their diets at that point.

Now a days they have procedures that could correct this, I believe, but they are very very expensive…. this operation could and would if successful drastically change the way my son speaks……. His life has suffered Alot because of this….. and I was young and a single mom and never took recourse and sued the doctor…. after seeing all the good work these doctors perform for people, I would really like to know how we could be considered for participation…….. anxiously waiting…. sincerly Debbie Hollen

     My sister has recently had a baby. She was very small when she got pregnant. She 4′11 and very tiny. As she started to get bigger she got horrible tiger striped stretch marks across her belly, backside, and her hips. She also has tried so many different creams and still nothing has helped. She is 20 years old and I know how it is having stretch marks but I dont have what she has and it makes me so sad that we cant find anything to help. Can you please tell me what options there are when nothing else works? Surgery is always an option for her but there really isnt anything for them to do as far as a tummy tuck. She has no extra skin to be able to do that. Thanks for your time.

     Guardasil: within a year of being vaccinated my Daughter developed a cyst in her breast. I worry that she may be developing more, but we no longer have health insurance due to job loss. Is the manufacturer taking any notice to these problems or is my Daughter on her own to deal with it.

But they can’t find anything wrong. I am very healthy and I only take vitamins. I am worried that I am going to have a heart attach or a stroke. I do not sleep well because I worry to much about it.

     My mother is 84 years old and so far is beating West Nile Virus after 2 weeks of being unconscious. She was pretty healthy before she was bit by the mosquito. Can we look forward to a complete, back to normal, recovery, or will there be changes in her life after she is able to leave the hospital? She has been in ICU for a month now. At present she is being weaned from breathing assistance and is unable to speak to tell us what she is going through or how she is feeling.

     Is Irlen Syndrome another subset of Dyslexia? r. Kathie Nunley’s web page says you can have both diagnoses. My daughter was found to have Irlen Syndrome. I was there as she was being tested and I found I also had it but much worse.

     I often wrote numbers correctly, read numbers aloud backwards. Had poor grades as I did not do homework. I picked up everything in class, but was often told I was lazy. I never read for enjoyment and still do not.

     I believe that many with Irlen syndrome are diagnosed with ADD, HD, or Dyslexia. The treatment is to use a colored lens, or read in a dim light.

     I adjusted my behavior as an adult. My daughter limited her use colored lens and has adjusted her concentration when reading.

     I think your show is great and I really like the Doctors.
     It was disappointing however in a recent show about antibiotics that no mention was made about how they kill all of the bacteria in your digestive tract thus paving the way for yeast over growth. I think not enough people know that your gut needs the friendly microbes as they are vital to the proper function and health of our digestive systems. It would have been worthwhile mentioning the inevitable yeast infections most women suffer after taking a course of antibiotics and how important it is to suppliment with probiotics during treatment and thereafter. With this knowledge people might reconsider and ask their DRs more questions before pressuring them for drugs that might be un nessesary.

     I just watched your show for the first time.
     Its about time a show like this was on TV.

     A topic that could use to be covered is Rheumatic fever, which my 11 year old daughter got 2 years ago due to many misdiagnosis’s by her doctors. This illness is caused by streph throat. My daughter did not have a sore throat when I first took her to the doctor, however ,she had a very, very high fever. The Dr said it was most likely a virus. For 2 month my daughter got sicker. Some symptoms were slurred speech and involuntary muscle movements. Her blood work showed inflammation in her body, but they could not figure out where( it was her heart). After MANY visits she was finnally diagnosed with damaged valves in her heart. ( Mitra and Aorta Valves)
     Her damaged valves will need to be replaced when she is an adult.She needs to see her Cardiologist 2 times a year to have an echiocadigram. In the mean time she has to take 250 mil. grams of penicillin every day twice a day till she is an adult.

     Parent need to know that they can protect their child by asking for a simple streph test even if the child does not complain of a sore throat. High fever is enough of a symptom.

     Please try and touch on this topic soon.

     Thank you

     As a breastfeeding mother, I was really offended that one of the female doctors said, “Bottle feeding can be MORE bonding than breast feeding.” Certainly, you can bond with your child whether you breast or bottle feed. However, as a doctor I’m sure she is aware of all the health benefits of breastfeeding (to both mother and child!) I was just really disappointed to see a doctor promoting bottle feeding as being superior to the breast. I do not understand why a doctor would promote something that has been proven to have less benefits (and actually much harder for a baby to digest) especially with the FALSE claim that it is more bonding. That is just ridiculous. How so? You can do the same things to bond w/ baby either way you feed (talk to them, rub their back or stoke their cheeks, closeness, etc.) VERY disappointed about that comment!

     Now, I would like to inquire about knee replacement. My Mom (back home, Philippines) is going to have an operation on both of her knees (no more cartilage). She just turned 75 last Aug. 8. Her doctor suggested that one knee replacement at a time but Mom would like both so she’s won’t be worrying for anything anymore. I would like your advice on what would be the best for her or what would you suggest if you were her doctor. BTW, the reason of her doctor is for her to rehabilitate one knee at a time… That’s all for now. Thank you sooooo very much and MORE POWER TO YOU ALL! GOD BLESS. ROZ of New Milford, NEW JERSEY

     I love the show. I am a Certified Medical Assistant and have enough experience to be an R.N. I have been waiting for a show about chronic back pain. I have been living with severe lower back pain going on three years now. I have seen several Dr’s from Neuro to Ortho. My only help has been Pain Management. I hate taking the Oxycotin and Percocet but I have no choice. I live on a Tens Unit, which is very uncomfortable when going out in public. I am looking for help. I want to be out of pain and off the pills. I decided once to “wean” myself off of the Oxycotin and had severe withdrawls. I have thought about the device that they insert into the back that is sort of like a Tens and decided not to go there. But I’m having second thoughts. Is this something that can be taken out after a period of time? I am blaming my weight gain (almost 100lbs since hystercetomy in 2003) for all of this pain. But excersise is hard when your in this much pain. Please do a show on these devices. I would love more information.

     I turned the channel to catch just the end of this show and these”Drs.” opinion on “elfears”. This procedure dosnt look near as envasive as a nose or a boobjob. Yet here are these so called doctors giving thier one sided opinons of a subculture that has no venue to retort thier close mined remarks. I’m sure they dont have much to say about women getting thier breast bigger or penis enlargement which, seems to me to be much more dangerous. Just because these people dont drive a BMW and wear a sweater around thier neck does not mean they are bad people , or that they deserve any less respect from someone like himself. Aa a matter of fact I’m sure most of these people are alot more interesting then the doc himself.

     Hi, I am 29yrs old and just had a baby 1yr ago. I had gest. diabetes and high blood pressure while pregnant. I went into labor 1month early with preclampsia and toximia. After 26hrs of labor, I finally had an emergency c-section. Post baby, I was having multiple symptoms of weakness, strie all over my abdomen, thighs, buttocs, breast, and arms. I gained a hump on my neck, had acne, gained more weight, still had high blood pressure, and worst of all, lost my hair. I didn’t even produce milk to breastfeed my newborn. I was constantly dieting and exercising and couldn’t understand why I wasn’t loosing the weight. All my doctors told me I had postpardum depression and I needed to speak to a therapist and they prescribed me Prozac. After 6 months of feeling like there is something more wrong with me and the drs were not listening, I ended up speaking to a naturopath dr. and in one visit she told me I had Cushings Disease. Not knowing what this was, but learning I did have all the symptoms, I took this to my drs. and they still dismissed my thoughts and I had to fight for lab tests to confirm this. Finally, my lab tests showed the high cortisol level and a CT scan showed the tumor on my left adrenal gland. I had laporoscopic surgery, removing my whole left adrenal gland. I am on prednison now and I am left with so much loose skin hanging on my abdoman (which used to be very toned), and strie and am displease with the way I ended up looking. My drs. still don’t want to help me. I have tried everything and don’t know what else to do. I am a new mom. I had always been fit and healthy and don’t want to accept the way I look now. Please help me! I want to be healthy and look good for me, my husband and my new son.

Alot of people are not able to work any longer and I personally have had months that I could not and still have days that I cannot function or get out of bed. Everyhing hurts.

     I saw your show regarding the mother carrying her daughters child. The comments about not being too old to carry children is true and amazing. But I had twins at the age of 47. I did not have any qualms about the decision to have these twins. (Having had two other healthy children at the age of 22 and 24 years)
     The “twin” pregnancy seemed easy but they were born premature and we were very lucky to end up with very healthy babies. However, my age and dealing with very collicky babies and emotional distress that comes with motherhood times two, I was not prepared for. I also was premenapausal and things became very depressing and over-the-top unbearable. I luckily have a wonderful husband that stood by me and my problems. The twins (boy & girl) are nine years old now and are wonderful, but the path here was not. I went through periods of being on antidepressants which I did not want to be on because they did not allow for energy for me to continue during the day. So you painting a wonderful picture of a post-menapausal women pregnant with her childs daughter is very different then my experience, it still would be interesting to see how this women fairs after the birth of the baby, (and she luckily won’t have the 24/7 activities of that baby.

     I always tell people I was “insane” to think that having a baby in my 40’s would be as easy as in my 20’s, it’s just not so and should be considered and talked about with the people involved in helping you to conceive these children.

     I was diagnosed with Endometriosis approximately 5 years ago. The doctor scoped me and said that was what he found and put me on Zovia 1/50 (high powered birth control pills) continuously and then he retired. I saw another GYN about a year later and he said the records from the first scope did not have anything in them to answer questions from the scope so he wanted to do it again. Second scope was done and basically he said the same thing the first doctor said and told me to continue what I was doing. Then he moved out of state. I have been sent to another GYN and he handed me a pamphlet on Endometriosis and never did answer any of my quetions. I am 39 years old and have SEVERAL medical issues other than Endometriosis and I can not get any answers to my questions regarding this medical condition. My primary doctor said I would have to go back to the third GYN and ask him the questions again because she don’t know the answers either and that he would probably have to scope me AGAIN. I have Type I diabetes, uncontrolled due to all my medical problems that no one is willing to “fix”, and I just don’t feel that this is necessary again but I want something taken out if they go back in. So far doctors say that is not going to happen.

     My questions are: Is it safe for me to not have periods? Is taking birth control at my age safe? I have been spotting and it is getting heavier each month and I believe I am cramping and I have not done this for at least 5 years, is something wrong or is the medicine not working anymore? And why can we not take out something to get me off the pills, not have periods, and eliminate some of my pain/meds?

I emailed them a few months ago and the testing was cancelled. Have you heard of the vaccines for alleries? I have done some research and they do have them in Europe. Do you think they will ever be available in the US? I would rather do a vaccine than the weekly or monthly injections. Would you please check into this for me? I am so desperate to have a dog and they, of course, is my worse allergy along with having asthma.

     Hello I have watched your show since it started and i have a question of my own. I have endrometriosis and have had surgery twice for this. It caused me to be infertile at least I was told I didn’t have much chance of getting pregnant again. Now this was many years ago after the first surgery.
     The second time I went in for surgery it was so bad that all my inside(uteres,tubes bowels,etc) were stuck together with scar tissue. Now this was about 6-7 years after the first surgery. I was told that i should have had a historectomy but because I was only in my 30’s they didn’t do it. Now I am starting to get the cramping that I had before when my endr. was getting bad. This is telling me that it might be coming back. Now I have no medical to have Surgery again. Is there something else that i could do to stop the progression of this. I know it may sound silly but I can not afford to have this surgery again and most likely a historectomy. I don’t know what to do hopefully you all can help. By the way I thisnk your show is very informative and entertaining also

     First, Like the show.

     Second, Can you cover the topic “Chelation Therapy”. Elderly from my area of the country go south for the winter and have talked about going to Mexico for this therapy. One of my friends parents have done this for a couple of years now but one of the parents was diagnosed with arterial blockage and could’ve died if it wasn’t taken care of.

     This person told her Dr that she will just get extra Chelation Therapy this winter when she heads south. She had the procedure reluctantly after being told that she probably wouldn’t make it to winter and pressure from the immediate family.

     The physician doesn’t endorse this therapy and educated his patient on why and asked her and her husband to stop doing Chelation Therapy.

     The internet is full of information on Chelation as well as products for oral therapy at home or IV from a “spa” or office. With all the information about the Chelation Therapy Pros and Cons, dangers and endorsements, availability ect… Can you inform your viewers of Chelation Therapy, what it is, how it works, and how harmful it can be. Dangers to the elderly, especially in women who are so prone to osteoperosis (bone degredation if I spelled it wrong). I might be a good time soon since so many Canadians and Norther State Americans are heading south, and more may try this therapy to feel better.

This disease has taken over my life, and it takes every ounce of energy to make it one more day. We need more doctors who believe and will help.

     Thank you;

     Check out this site – Dr. Christiane Northrup on Oprah show last year. This is part of why I was reluctant for MY daughter to receive Gardasil. Her doctor wasn’t happy about it – too bad, I switched doctors. As always, we as parents have to make the final decision and not totally trust these people with little knowledge or morals. We’re all just guinea pigs to these wealthy pharmaceutical companies and doctors.

     HELP!!!I am 37 year old woman who has suffered for 30 years with chronic bladder infections that have only gotten worse with age. I get 15 or more bladder infections per year now and I am always on antibiotics. I have seen numerous urologist, but all they do is give me antibiotics. I am to the point where the infections are resistant to most antibiotics, which is scary. Because I am on antibiotics all the time it has caused stomache problems and yeast infections.I have spent countless nights up with bladder spasms so bad I just want to die! I am suffering horribly and feel hopeless, I don’t know what to do? I am to the point I would be open to experimental options. I also have some experimental ideas of my own. Ways to treat chronic patients like myself, with-out putting antibiotics through my body all the time.But I don’t know how to get the help I need. Maybe your show would like to take on this difficult case? Or maybe you can just give me some places to turn to for help!

     Looking forward to hearing from you,

     Abby, your Dr. has to give you all info reguarding your tests and give you a diagnosis. If he is unsure what the problem is then he is obligated to refer you to a Gastroenterologist who can give you a diagnosis. Your Dr. also has an obligation to go over all of your test results. You can also request copies of your results and biopsy results. He cannot play with your life because you could have Liver Disease due to the Hepatitis C Virus in which early Diagnosis can mean the difference between early treatment and slowing the virus or late treatment which could be very hard to treat. So rip into your Dr. and tell him to do his job because you can take this to a lawyer for him not telling you what you need to know. Good luck.
     P.S. You can also search the web for the American Liver Foundation for more info about the Liver.

     I work for the school district, and have been forced to move into a storage room with noxious fumes from fresh paint, and carpet. There is no ventilation, no air, no heat, no windows, and this was promised before moving. The move was sudden ( Monday 10-13), they stepped it up cutting corners. There is also no ceiling, just pipes . A program that is expected to boost test scores has taken our space, so it is all about scores which equates to money, not kids who have even more concerning issues.
     I have a few hours to completely reconfigure the whole program,, up and down a ladder moving shelves etc… The fumes are overwhelming. I have questioned the principal, the maintenance crew, etc.. about the legality of this space, whether it is up to code. I was told that it was. I doubt it. The school counselor will be sharing this small space with the primary intervention play program I facilitate. I was told that there will be no air put in until next summer, and we are expected to use a fan with the door open for ventilation. This winter we are to use a small space heater. Both of our programs are confidential, and the kindergarten play yard right is right at our door. Of course the kids want to crowd around, come in and see all of the toys. So the door needs to be shut.
     AAACCKKKK THE FUMES ARE KILLING ME ALREADY ! HELP !
     This can’t be acceptable, I want to quit, but I’m a single mom and I need the health insurance, and the job. I love my job.

     I would like to relate an expreience in reference to todays’ show10-16-08 in that
     comment of donor reciepents liking what the
     donor liked.
     When our oldest son died in a single person auto accident we donated all his usable organs
     per his request when he was alive.
     We read a piece in the Des Moines Register,after the donation, that a Baptist preacher recieved a heart and kidney of a 16
     year old whom had recently died in aauto accident.
     Try as we may to get the preachers name and number so we could talk with him,but to no avail,which we understood the confidentiality
     issue,so we asked the editor to relay our information to the preacher and his wife.
     Months went by and to our surprise we were rewarded with a letter which was written by the preachers wife.She told us that her husband was a ritious man and had not ever taken a drop of alcholic drink in his entirely
     life and all of the sudden he had a sever penchant for beer.Our son on the other hand was a typical teen who drank and partook of all that life had to offer,being promisquious
     liked kinky unusual hetro sex, cussed a lot and was about as far left of the preacher as one could be.
     Makes you wonder what else the preacher had an irrestable penchant for.
     Needless to say his wife and he thanked us for
     our sons’gift of life.
     To this very day I and my wife know our son lives vicariously.
     WE LOVE YOU JAN WHEREVER YOU ARE.

     Hello Awesome Doctors,

     I would like to inquire about knee replacement. My Mom is going to have this operation soon. She’s going to have both of her knees replaced. My question is, if you were her doctor, what would you suggest, are you going to operate both of her knees at the same time or one at a time? Her doctor suggested to operate one knee at a time so it would be easier for her during her rehabilitation with one knee operated only. My Mom would like both of her knees operated so she will have to deal with this ordeal just once. I would appreciate your reply. Thank you so very much and MORE POWER TO YOU, GUYS!

     I WAS TOLD BY A SURGEON THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO EASE MY PAIN. I’M 79 AND DON’T THINK I CAN DEAL WITH THIS PAIN MUCH LONGER. DO YOU THINK I SHOULD PURSUE FINDING A DOCTOR WHO WOULD AGREE TO ANOTHER CARPEL TUNNEL SURGERY?

     I was watching the show today on type 1 diabetes with Carla’s son, Jackson. As I listened to hear talk about receiving that phone call with the diagnoses, I just started bawling. My son was diagnosed last year on Mothers Day. He was 18, a senior in high school, and he had just been sworn into the United States Air Force on Mar 30th with his leave date for boot camp scheduled for Sept. 11th. He was diagnosed with both type 1 diabetes and MRSA. He was in and out of the hospital several times, each time not knowing whether he would live or die, and to top it all off, all those years of school and he didnt get to go to graduation. It had been a year of hell, but he survived and things are getting better. No military will take him because you can’t be combat ready and carry insulin. When he got sick, because he hadnt gone to boot camp yet, even though he was officially property of the USAF, he had no coverage, no benefits nothing. He was just out. He’s in college now and hopefully he will be able to continue. I’m a single parent…his father left me 7 months pregnant after coming home from a military deployment and has never had anything to do with him. Anyway, there are two things I was wondering about…do you ever feel guilty, like you could have done something differently while you were pregnant for him? I have this guilt all the time. When I was pregnant I would throw up if I ate healty food. I remember eating toaster french toast, orange popsicles and a baby cone from dairy queen everyday. I’ve read everything I could get my hands on about the diabetes but I still cant seem to get over this guilt. I’m just wondering if this is normal. The second thing, I was told that there is a cure for type 1 but that it has not been approved yet. I believe it is a pancrease transplant. I was told that my son will see this within 10 years. I have not heard anymore about it and it wasnt discussed on the show, so maybe it something that could be check on. My heart goes out to you Carla, and Jackson. I wish you all the best.
     Sincerely
     Sandy O.

     Dear Dr’s, thank you for your show! You help bring comfort to so many people by being able to answer medical question. Again thank you. I have a concern of my own and was wondering if you could help. I suffer from serious headaches every month. They come about 3 to 4 days before my menstral cycle and can last 3 days or more into it as well. So I can suffer from these headaches for a week or more. They are horrible and make me feel quite ill and dizzy. It effects me a great deal because there is so much odd presure I feel in my head. I try to go about my daily routine. I have 2 wonderful girls ages 14 & 10 and like to be involved in their day etc,, and it hurts to sometimes have to ask them to just let me be or a while. I take Advil Migrain which only dulls the pain slightly, and sometimes I take tylenol inbetween. Nothing ever really takes the pain away but takes the edge off some what for an hour or so and that is it. When I was younger, (I am 39 now), I had a hard time with birth control pills as well. I tried a few kinds but would end up with the headaches all month instead of a week or two. As I am getting older the headaches are getting worse. Please if you are able to give me any advice which can help I would greatly appriciate it.
     Sincerely
     Laura

I had to be put on it when I was 16 due to the cramping, the blood clots. I was missing school every month and couldnt walk without being bent over. The pills did help and I was able to function.

     The 16 year old with terrible periods should really see a gynecologist. Most girls won’t have a gyne appt until they are sexually active or are 18. If she is having dysmenorrhea (the medical term for your daughter’s symptoms) she should really be seen by a gyne. I wouldn’t diagnose her but there are several things that it could be including just a generic diagnosis of Dysmenorrhea which she can receive some meds to relieve her symptoms when she has her period.
     Good luck.

     I’m asking for my sister. My sister has a very unhappy life. She lives with a man who mentally abuses her. 1 1/2 years ago she was told she might have lupus but without insurance she was unable to have more a more extensive check. In October she turn 50, has gained about 60 pounds. She is very depressed. My wish for her is big. I wish she could be accurately diagnosed and have a complete makeover. She works 7 days a week. Husband hasn’t worked for years(he’s on disablity but not disabled can do anything)She does everything in the home. If she could get her health in order and feel good about herself I know she’d get out of this relationship of 27 years. He tells her she’s fat,ugly and no one else would have her. Love is blind but the neighbors aren’t he’s nothing to look at. She used to be beautiful and care how she looked. He’s beat her down. I know I will prob. never hear from you but I just wanted to try. She had a rough childhood and thinks she doesn’t deserve anymore. thank you

I have been suffering from this condition for about 4 years now, and it has gotten progressively worse. I have seen an ENT and I went for hearing tests. Since I know there are many out there who suffer from this disorder, maybe you can offer some help to your wide audience.
     Thank you

     I had brain surgery June 2005 and days prior to the surgery we found the bulls-eye rash from a lyme tick. The neuro surgeon proceeded with the surgery and my life has been one complication after another. I have been diagnosed with chronic neuro lyme, RMSF, babesia, heavy metals i.e.,lead,mercury,copper, and nickel. High elements are calcium,cobalt, zinc,and iron. Magnesium is low, selenium is low, and manganese is high. Some of these change from blood tests to urine tests. I had to be put on folic acid, B12 and heavens I can’t even remember all the supplements I have taken or the infusions I have been given. I recently stopped going to my currrent doctor due to the cost as she doesn’t take insurance. I know I need some form of chelation therapy to get rid of these heavy metals however there must be some way to go about all of this with a doctor that that welcomes insurance. Help me please, I am starting to feel worse each day. Thank you.

     I help a lot of people who come to me for counsel on many aspects-(i.e. nutrition, health promoting remedies, emotional, bereavement and vocational support). I’ve had a number of persons, including my daughter, elderly father and my mother’s home companion, and about 8 others, who have had toenail fungus that has been almost impossible to eradicate completely. Some of them were able to have a short break, but the fungus returned, and the toenails were brittle and turned brownish gray.

     I was watching your program today, went for a restroom break, during your commercial time, and when I returned, it was featuring the bad breath and the remedies for that. I was hoping that you were going to address the toenail fungus solution, but, apparently, I missed it, if indeed it was discussed.

     Please let me know how and where I can find a permanent remedy for this problem. I will be very grateful and appreciative to have your response.

     Dear Doctors,

     I am shocked at the vile, hostile and hateful response posted by a “Teresa on Oct 20, 2008 | I quoted below. Words cannot express the appreciation most people, and I feel for your kindness, integrity, generosity and willingness to open yourselves up to the comments of bitter and judgmental people, whose little understanding of the negative impact that physical looks have on the emotional life of individuals. I feel that what you do, especially helping people who feel disfigured by various conditions, is beautiful and truly helpful, contrary to what this woman wrote below.

     “I think your program with the Mommy Tummy Tuck was obscene! What is wrong with you people! The issue was not so much what was gong on with the outside but what was going on with the heart and soul of that poor woman!!! What made her have such poor self esteem that she let herself fall into a snake pit of doctors trying to bump up business by making woman feel they needed to go under the knife to be a good person! What a bunch or self serving chauvinistic pigs! Shame on you!”

     I have been treated for yeast infections on and off for years, now the diagonis has been changed to Lichen Sclerosus (LS). Treatment was cream along with a steriod shot of Triamcinolone. I gained 15 lbs in a couple of weeks. That has been 5 months ago and the weight is still where it never was. Could you give some advice and talk about it on your show, as I am sure there are many other people who didn’t know LS exsisted. I have always been able to lose weight when I wanted, ever since this shot, weight loss is a nightmare. None of my clothes fit and I could care less about a social life. I am divorced, 30, and have a 4 years old daughter. My life is passing me by and this problem has definitely added to an already bad situation. Help!!!

     Hey Dr’s. I have had re-accuring yeast infections for the past 3 years. At least once a month, sometimes two. Canesten and monistat do not work and I was wondering if there was a treatment that will work to cure my system of the problem. As well as treating myself I treat my husband so that we don’t pass it back and forth. Could it possibly be something worse than just yeast? Any advice you could shed on the issue would be amazing.

     repy to Ho – Sept 24 post; I had similar symptoms and was told I had Meuniere’s Disease. I experienced hearing loss in my right ear a number of years later and was told by the ENT doctor that the hearing loss was probably the result of a virus. I can only speculate but think that what I really had when I was diagnosed with Meuniere’s Disease, was a virus. You may also want to investigate the possibility that you may have acoustic neuroma. Good luck.

     I know what you are going through, my husband has the exact samething, he tried toothpaste after toothpaste, for a long time he was using sensodyne, but all that does is helps the sensitivity of your teeth, it doesn’t help with anything else. what we found to work, was the new toothpaste out that is called pronamel. or something close to that name… but what it does is it helps the tooth namel. become stronger and prevents your teeth from cracking chipping, or even breaking, my husband couldn’t even eat a chocolate bunny without his teeth breaking or cracking. my husband was also raised on the well water, and it turned his teeth to the pits, he’s not a smoker and his teeth look like he’s smoked for 25 years. but i lived in a city, so my teeth were in really good shape, pearly white, and then when i moved to the country, you could see me teeth starting to go down hill, i’ve been to the dentist more times since i moved to the country, then when i was a kid. ( irregardless, i just wanted to let you know that i and my husband know exactly where you are coming from )
     but if you’re still having problems with your teeth, try the pronamel, or even the crest pro health, it works BUT not as good as the pronamel. And with the little bit that i read on your case here, about popping advil all the time cause you’re in pain, i know this may sound silly, but try rubbing orajel on it, and everytime the pain comes back rub some on, orajel is alot cheaper then advil and works just the same,,, eventually what’s going to end up happening, is that your systems going to become immuned to it,and it won’t have any effect on you whatsoever. you could possibly see the difference with the orajel, we always used it, and with the orajel you don’t have to use alot.
     i hope what i found to work for my husband and i will also work for you, when you do use the pronamel, your dentist will end up seeing a difference, so like i said i hope this little bit of info that i shared with you is of a lot of use, and i hope to hell it works for you
     if it does please email me back at tyner2027@sympatico.ca just so i know for future referemce, ( that is if you don’t mind letting me know how it worked for you )

     Hi Doctors,
     First I would like to thank you for finally having a show that helps people and talks about all medical conditions. Ten years ago I had a brain aneurysm at the age of 32. My blood pressure was out of control. I was referred to a hypertension specialist and was put on Minoxidil 10mg twice a day, propranolol 40mg (three) twice a day and a water pill. Blood pressure runs 158/90, that is really good for me.
     My problem is the side effects from the Minoxidil, (active ingredients in Rogaine). I have a real problem with all of the extra hair, especially the facial hair. I have tried everything, bleaching, hair removal creme and plucking. I have to do this everyday or I would have 1/8″ hair that grows on my face that drives me crazy. I have scares from all of the ingrown hair that has left my chin and upper lip looking really dark, bad scares, makeup will not cover them. I know that I cannot stop talking this medicine. I am scared to try new medicine since I have been on so many that did not work. The doctor put me on these pills and they work.I can send you pictures if you like. Any advise would help.

     One of the doctors recommended people chewing gum. Most people do not know how to chew gum. Have you ever tried to sit in a waiting room with someone cracking, smacking and chewing gum, plus blowing bubbles and popping them. VERY NERVE WRACKING. Also trying to study in a classroom or listen to a lecture while a student is doing the above. I almost got into a fight with a girl. I told her I paid too much money for this class to be aggravated and annoyed by a gum chewer. I dodge gum chewers everywhere I go. They look like cow chewing their cuds. I also worked in a high school office and the principal was always having to have someone clean floors, bottoms of desks and tables when kids stuck their gum. Bad habit…that should be enjoyed ALONE.

     Dr’s:

     Last February I started to get what I thought was just a typical case of the flu. I felt awful, started vomiting. It eventually got to the point where I couldn’t even keep fluids down. So I finally decided to go to the hospital. The doctors there thought it was the flu and where about to send me home. But they decided to have me take a flu test, thank goodness they did. It came out negative and the blood test showed that my white blood cell count was off the charts. Immediately the doctor thought appendicitis. After a CAT scan, they found my appendix was gone. So I was immediately rushed into the emergency room. The surgeon told me after the surgery that based on the degree of infection, I had gone eight days with a ruptured appendix. Only being sick four and a half of those days. I have been getting better ever sense and am finally back were I was originally. I do have one killer looking scar though. My question is, is this a record of surviving with a ruptured appendix and do you have any idea why I was able to survive this mind-boggling long period with what added up to be a liter and a half of severe toxins in my system? Thanks so much for your time and I hope that you have a great day.

     You may want to have a laporoscopy done to find out if she had endometreosis. I myself had it since the day I started mentstrating and I had to go for shots of demerol in the hospital everytime I had my period since it was so painful. If this is the problem it can be cut and koterized in most cases but usually keeps coming back they may suggest some type of hormones if this is the case.

     Dear Doctors,
     My son is a 3 year old boy and Since the age of 1 1/2 he has been vomiting eveery time he eats or drinks milk mixed with the chocolate Nesquick. I have taken him to be examined but the physicians inform he just becomes sick easily and constantly. His teeth have begun to deteriorate from the vomiting. Still no one is able to diagnose his condition. also, He seems to have developed a white substance on his tongue. He does not have any complaints but he refuses to eat when the vomiting starts. Please help! I am really concerned about his health.

     I would like to know if the dctors will ever have a show on Hepatitis C. It is a very serious disease affecting over 4.5 million people, who most of them don’t even know they had it. With all the people having to get physicals for new jobs, most are now just learning of this problem. I had Hep C from a bllod transfusion at age 4, and had no idea i had contracted this disease. I went through treatment 2 times, and the second time was sucessful and now my Hep C is in remission, I feel this is a very important subject, especially for 30-50 year olds who may have played with i.v. drugs at one time or anotherin their life. I have started a support group in Chicago, and would like to see a show like yours address this topic. I love and watch your show daily, and have benefitted from it greatly. Thank you for all you do.

     Hi: I too have developed moles, as you age skin changes occur. I also developed little white ones on my chest, neck and eyelids. These are actually skin tags. I went to a cosmetic surgeon to have them removed advised by my GP. I also had some bigger dark moles removed at the same time. They use the same numbing agent used when numbing your mouth for dental work. It did not hurt at all. You can feel a tugging but other than that it was nothing. For the skin tags because they are so small he just cut them off and it hurts less than a slight pinch and usually doesn’t even require a band aid.

     Several years ago I went to see a doctor for a cough I just couldn’t get rid of. They treated me with cold medicine. As the years went by the cough and conjestion just got worse and at times I could hardly get enough air. So when I went in for some dental surgery and during the post-op work they found some damaged air ways and sent me to a respitory specialist. He diagnosed me with Bronchiectasis or Mycobacterium Anium Complex.They said it was a fungas growing in my lungs and was not curable. I often have such coughing spell that I cough up blood. I would like to know what you think and if there is any treatment to get rid of this condition. I have been on several inhalers including the Advair. Thanks for any help you can give me.

     I had my last baby in June and followed up with a tubal ligation. While I was competely aware that this is a non reversble operation I am very up set with the subsaquent effects this has had. The first is the over whelming fear the my children are going to die. While I know another baby would not replace them the “what if’s” are driving me nuts. Secondly the effect this is having on my sex life with my husband is horriable. The pain is excureating. I have talked to several of my friends who had the same procedure done and they have told me it will take years!!! for the pain to subside. Is this true and if so why don’t the Doctors tell you this before the procedure? You have to wait a month or more before they will even schedule the sugery anyways. Is there anything I can do to help the “what if’s ” and the pain?? Please help me for the sake of my husband at least. Thank you TC

     Just to mention a few!
     I can relate, however, I seem to be getting the run-around from most of my Dr’s. They all want to pass the buck and I just get tossed from one to the other. Co-Pays are killing me, especially since I’ve been off work 17mo.

     Drugs:….I take so many perscriptions I’m often forgetting something. I had to make a list for my overworked husband, who works 2 jobs and does most of the housework, when he can, and tries his best to fulfill my needs as well. I am afraid that someday, I will need him or someone to make sure I am taking my meds as are perscribed. That is why I need the list.

     Dr’s: Primary does seem to care that I get all the help I need and does refer me to those that might help. However, I feel that this merry-go-round needs to stop. I’m so dizzy that I don’t know if it is from the meds or the lack of something. Am I getting too much?

     My daily activities consist of waking up, with the attempt of getting up. I no longer sleep in bed due to the pain, and that I can’t get comfortable, along with I can’t get out of bed without assistance. Needless to say, our bedrooms are all upstair, which I can’t climb. Upon rising, I take my morning meds that need to be taken before eating, at least 30 min – an hr. Unfortunetly, that may not be till 9,10, or even 11 am. I might be awake at 7 or 8, but unless I have my meds along side me at my recliner, and a drink, I am usually stuck till I get the motivation. I try to get something to eat no later then 12-1, so I can get my next dose of meds. which need to be taken with food. My recliner has been a life saver. I was so tired all the time because I never got any sleep before I had it. The fact that it is a swivel/rocker/recliner, makes it much easier and less painful to get up. It is almost 4:30pm and I would love to go outside. The sun is shinning brite and even though it might be a slight bit on the chilly side, I FEAR even going for the mail. What if I fall, will the cold air cause me to be colder the rest of the day? I know it won’t take me long, but each attempt seems to become longer with each passing day. What took me 10 mins. one day may take me an hour the next. Walking(more like dragging) just to the bathroom is a chore, how will I make it to the mailbox outside? By then it will be time for more meds, and perhaps if I can, eat something. Then BACK TO THE BIG COMFY CHAIR W/FEET ELIVATED TO ELEVIATE SOME OF THE PAIN, WATCHING TV… boring, makes me more TIRED, worrying about everything that needs done that I can no longer do, causes DEPRESSION. Did this weeks bills get paid? I CAN’T REMEMBER what day it is, did I have another appointment, if so…. how will I get there? Will I be able to drive? IF I DO, WILL I BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR, AND MAKE IT IN BY MYSELF, ON TIME. I will need to shower and wash my hair, but I can’t get in and out of the tub by myself, will I be stuck there, or pass out, or black out like I did before.
     FEAR!
     NEXT THING YOU KNOW THE DAY IS GONE, TIME FOR YOUR FINAL DOSE OF THE DAY…….
     GOODNIGHT!

     I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, but what if all these Dr’s are over looking something just because this symptom or that, is common with those who suffer for this syndrom?

     There are so many disease and syndroms out there with simular symtoms, or maybe just a few of those that we have, even though the Dr’s do go though some of the elimination processes at first diagnosis, couldn’t things like Lymes disease, still become an issue from one year to the next, or diseases that might not been considered at one point still be developing and worsening over these past 3 years of treating the symptoms of Fibromyalgia?
     Trying this drug and that remedy, with some relief but because it is so unknown, why, how, and what to do, we all have to suffer like guinea pigs in a lab, putting our families under a strain, not knowing what to do. We just take ONE DAY AT A TIME and try our best again tomorrow.

     I feel that the only reason that they sent me to an orthopedist is to pamper me with the thought that the pain in my shoulder was from a tear. Had that surgery and 5 mo. later I realize that it is better than it was last year this time, but now I have so much pain in my knee. Shots and pain pills don’t work, so will I need another surgery, and another year of recover, to determine if it will be better or worse? It’s like dealing with one pain at a time, but not really looking at it as a whole.

     Why do my ears ring non-stop? Is it my meds? Is it from Fibromyalgia? Ear/nose/throat, have no clue! Am I lacking something, again, who knows the secret? Is there anyone out there who really knows?

     The sad thing is we see so many DRs, for a mere 10-15min a month and each one focuses on one problem at a time, and not really seeing the whole picture what we deal with on a daily basis. How can they truely evaluate our condition?

     How do we cope with all the questions that all the Dr’s can’t answer? Why do we get tossed around like a hot potato, When that Dr get’s stuck with us and has no more answers, he tosses us off, to let someone else deal with us for a while, playing games with our head, which hurts bad enough with constant headaches. Is It a scam? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

     Wish I knew,
     “D”1024

     Sorry for dumping on your sight!
     But I am not alone and all the others, just mentioned Fibromyalgia. I don’t think people out there along with many of the Drs. really know what we go through on a daily basis.
     Perhaps you are doing research, good for you!
     Please share what you can, and maybe Fibromyalgia won’t be such a mystery!
     Thanks!

     On the October 23,2008, show you had a hearing aid that seemed a nice option to those that are visible(outside the ear). I didn’t catch the name and see that I have company from the other comments above.
     Can you give me the name/manufacturer or any other info that might help me find it locally.
     Thanks.
     P.S. Like your program.

     Sounds like me in high school, when I was married for 3 years and could not conceive AND the pain became constant, not just monthly as in all the previous excruciating years, I want to an OB/GYN and was diagnosed with Endometriosis. A laparoscopy surgery was performed to remove the scar build up from the endometriosis, and I was put on a birth control that stops periods( endometriosis is worse during menstrual cycles for the layer of the uterus that is suppose to come off gets stuck and adheres causing scar tissue and pain) When I did finally stop this birth control I was about to conceive very quickly. Also, pregnancy is suppose to really help if not cure endometriosis all together.
     I wish her luck and suggest a trip to the OBGYN now, to save years of suffering that I had before an answer was known.

     First of all I really enjoy watching your show.
     Yesterday I was amazed to hear you talk about VERTIGO… I have “Vertigo” and I have lived with it for a year now. It comes and goes. Every thing you talked about is true. I wish this upon no one. I have seen many Dr’s. and been on seveal types of Meds for the dizzyness. But the only thing that helps me is to get a lot of rest. Look up vertigo on the enternet and learn all about it. You will find your answers thier. Today I feel GREAT but tomorrow How know’s.
     TY. Please Find a cure so we can live a normal life.

     Hello Drs
     I watched the show yesterday about the device that could help people walk (ie: people with MS). I am a 40yr old woman with LMGD Muscular Dystrophy (the 1 good thing is that I don’t look 40 I can get up from my motorized wheelchair that raises up and walk to the restroom. Up until last year I walked more around my place, however, I had 1 of my falls and landed flat on my face on tile. I broke my nose and had about 16 stitches in my face. It obviously scared me to a point that I won’t walk across the tile and when I’m left alone I have more anxiety attacks. I really can’t stand this b/c it makes me have to take xanax during the day instead of just at night to help me sleep. Now since I don’t walk around as much I have also gained some weight that my body isn’t handling well and I don’t know how to lose it. I guess my question is there anything that can help me with any of these issues? I’m getting really scared
     Sincerely,
     Sheila from Florida

     Hi,
     I just read your comment on your pains and fatigue and I couldn’t help myself. I had the same symtoms all the way back since 1998. After seeing numerous doctors who told me I was nuts and went through extensive tests which all turned out negative, I finally found a rhumatologist who discovered I had fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. I am coping with this fairly well. Since they finally diagnosed me, they put me on duragesic patches and vicoden. They started on 100 mg of the duragesic patches but I couldn’t tolerate it. They lowered me to 50 mg. The thought of me being on such a heavy duty prescription, I wanted to wean myself off of them as soon as possible. Finally, as of last year, I went on 25 mg. and am now down to 12. mg. I am trying to wean myself off this too. I hope to do this fairly soon. I also do not take more than 3 vicodens a day. The milligrams on that is 10/660. I forgot to say that for fibromyalgia, there is a new script that came out called Lyrica. It works fantastic and that is probably the reason I am able to lower my other medications. I was just diagnosed now with IBS which I am taking a medication that is doing wonders.
     I hope this helps. Let me know how you are doing and if you have gone for any medical advice or etc.

     Someone please contact me. It breaks my heart to see so many people (especially young) struggling with weight. I’m certain it, in many, many instances, has to do with undiscovered food allergies or sensitivities that remain undiscovered…and can rarely be tracked by a doctor as they can change daily. I lived this experience myself. I found simple non-invasive tools that anyone can use to check foods (often daily) to keep them away from foods they’re sensitive to. Much easier to talk about than type about. Pleasen let me know how I can contact someone about these tools and get the information to the public. Thank you.

     Hello Doctors, I really enjoy your show, and try to watch as much as I can. My grandson was recently diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, and I wondered if you could talk about this on your show (explain what it is, etc.). I didn’t know anything about this disease before he was diagnosed (September this year) and I am having a hard time explaining to people what it is. I try not to concentrate on the life expectancy information, but I know even that is changing daily due to the fantastic Researh in Canada, and beyond. I am writing from Metcalfe, Ontario, Canada, and I actually work in the Ottawa Health Research Institute where some research is taking place (not in the department I am in, but in our organization) and I am proud of the fact that the gene for Cystic Fibrosis was cloned in Canada. Thanks. Lynn Crosbie

     Hi, One day I turned on the TV as you were showing a wheelbarrel with tobacco. You were adding poisons to the tobacco saying this is what goes into cigarettes and people are getting this into their systems. I only remember 2, one from rat poison and the other from finger nail polish. Would it be possible for you to give me the listings of them all that you were telling your audience? I have a dear friend who needs to stop smoking and just maybe this would give her a big jolt.

     Food sensitivities can be very difficult as they go mostly unnoticed but create all kinds of phsyical problems from being unable to lose weight no matter how few the calories if an allergy food is eaten….to binge eating caused by an allergy food acting as a trigger.

     Hello, Doctors

     I have had a weight gain problem for 35 years. Since my first child was born.. I have struggled with losing weight since.. I am now post menopause and it has become impossible for me to lose at all.. I do not eat fast foods but a few times a year. I eat fiber cereal twice daily, fruits, and vegetables or salad.. Lots of water no colas or sweet juices, only coffee sometimes twice daily with 2% milk and splendra.. I hardly eat sweets just on occasions.. I have been eating this way for 2 years because of my condition diverticulis and constipation problem which causes my diverticulis to flare up if I don’t have 2 bowels movements in a day.. I do use 2% milk within a 9 day period I will have consumed a gallon. I have heard that there are fat burning foods that help to speed your metabolism up.. If so would you please inform me of them or at least recomend a plan thats healthy or anything that would help. Just would like to say its really nice to have a show like this to inform people, thanks alot and keep up the good work..Waiting for your reply..

     Your daughter might have something called endometriosis. I have it and I had very painful periods from the age of 14 I am now 34 (mother of 2). Do research it and get a specilist to diagnose it. Finding information on the internet is very easy. Surgery is required most of the time. I recomend surgery especially to remove scarring and lesions and to preserve fertility. The medication treatments only last while taking the medications, as there is no cure.

     I was told by one dr I had fibromyalgia, during a consultation with an Orthopedic Surgeon for arthritic shoulder problems he told me there was no such thing as fibromyalgia. He said it was a “catch all phrase” for “we don’t know why your body hurts”. I know MY BODY HURTS and I would like more information and help. This is NOT in my head, I don’t care what they say. I have researched several sites on this subject and others seems to recognize it as a real disease/symptom/problem. My MD says I am not a candidate for the new medicine being advertised it has too many bad side effects. What are we suffering folks suppose to do, pretend we don’t hurt? Would you Dr’s please discuss this subject? Is it real? Is it a catch-all phrase? I am so tired of hurting!

     I am having a very hard time trying to get a diagnosis for my 13 year old daughter who has been badly affected for 4 years with chronic bladder infections, to the point that she has lived in a bathroom for the past 2 years. We have been to multiple urologists, but there are so few pediatric urologists that we have had to rely on the only one in Atlanta. They have done 3 investegative surgeries on her but to no avail, she had a reimplant at the age of 18 months for reflux kidney and has a duplicate kidney on the left. Result: being bounced from one hospital to another all with different diagnoses, but still after cauterization to her bladder in Feb at Boston Children’s we still do not know where the infections in her bladder are coming from. She has been told to take nitrofurantin indefinately which makes her sick and she’s alsdo on uroxotral.
     Where do we go, all urologists and bladder specialists only see kids over 18! It has cost me my business and almost a marriage, but my daughter is the one who is suffering so badly, and has been diagnosed with post traumatic stress.
     signed, desperate!

     I have a friend who is in her late forties, 4 children, ages range from 15-mid 20’s. After years of her husband being in the service and not living as husband and wife, they recently got divorced.
     She sleeps literally all day, she has gain weight, even though she is not eating, in areas that cause her to be out of shape, her living environment is filty, she has no social activity,she does not work, she complains about ache and pain all the time and the only eventful thing in her life is going to the doctors offcie. Her moods swings from extremely joyful to deep depression.
     She said she sleeps because of the medications she takes for high blood pressure and for pain from a car accident she had approx. 8 years ago.
     I am not sure if this is depression she is going through, but the way she is living is unhealthy in every aspect of life, emotional, physical, social, etc. This is definitely a mental illness, which I mentioned to her, but she refuse to seek treatment. My question to you is, can you help me get my friend’s life back? It breaks my heart to see someone I care about wasting their live and have her youngest daughter, who is my godaughter seeing her live this way (she is also very concerned, but do not know what to do). This has been going on for over a year and getting worse.
     Thank you for whatever resource you give me to help my friend get her life back.

     At age 18 I had my left ovary removed due to a dermoid cyst. I am 5 feet tall and at that time weighed (when I well) 100 to 103 lbs. and could not gain any weight. When I got sick after my surgery, I weighted around 70 lbs. My Doc. said that I would not need to have any hormone therapy because my other ovary would compensate for the loss. I gained the weight back and more. I can’t seem to stop gaining. In addition to the weight gain, I have fatigue, headaches, neck pain (my neck tends to swell up a little a couple times a mo.) accompanied with cyst like breakouts (for lack of a better word)on my neck, occasionally my neck hurts so much I can’t turn my head. I notice that when I overexert myself (which doesn’t take much) or don’t drink enough water my neck flairs up more. I have seen a several doctor’s and they have attributed my symptoms to allergies or low thyroid. Low thyroid runs on my father’s side of the family. The doc’s have done thyroid test and determined that it is functioning normally so that my symptoms had to be due to allergies. Prior to my ovarian surgery I never had allergies. This has been going on for the past 15 years. I don’t like to take allergy medication because I don’t like the way it makes me feel and I am also breastfeeding. Do you concur with the other doctor’s diagnosis? Or should I search for another doctor?

     I want to say first that up until today I was a big fan of “The Doctors”, but now I have doubts about the validity of information the show is reinforcing to the public.
     I just watched the Oct. 27th episode regarding laser hair removal.
     I am an electrologist and I wanted to inform Dr. Andrew Ordon that electrolysis is the ONLY approved method of permanent hair removal.

     The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognize electrology as providing permanent hair removal. The FDA identification in Title 21, CFR, Sec. 878.5350 for needle-type epilators is: “a device intended to remove the hair by destroying the dermal papilla of a hair”. As no other device for hair removal has the unique identification of “destroying the dermal papilla of a hair”, only electrologists are allowed to claim permanent hair removal in their advertising. No other hair removal devices, including lasers, have been able to achieve this definition.

     I was extremely upset at the statement Dr. Andrew Ordon made; “electrology does not work” obviously Dr. Ordon nor the studio did any research regarding electrolysis.
     In addition, the segment was misleading and uninformative regarding the veracity of laser hair removal.
     I hope that you will inform the public regarding the pros and cons of any type of hair removal, no matter what method of removal the consumer wants to use.
     The practice of electrolysis has not been given the attributed exposure that it deserves therefore denying the vast majority of the public the benefits this procedure has to offer.
     I hope that I have reached at least one person who can benefit from the information that I have provided today.

     Hi, I am writing because I have a few questions. My first question is in regards to my pregnancy. Im 20 years old and this is my first baby. At this moment, I am 26 wks pregnant and recently I started working a cashier job at Meijer. Now, I’ve developed some pelvic pain and severe back pain. Is that normal or is it from over-working myself? I am also in college, and I’ve noticed that my attention span is not the same. I find myself drifting off and not being able to focus. Is that normal? I have not gained much weight either, maybe 10 pounds, is that normal? I keep getting told that these things are normal, but I do not feel normal. I also wanted to know about sexual activity during pregnancy! Doctors say it is normal as well, but I recently bled not heavily but red blood and I am afraid I have harmed my baby. Please give me some answers!!!!

     Dear Drs.,

     Recently I had attended a parents meeting at my daughters high school with her field hockey coach. She had us watch a video on a young girl who was diagnosed with the female athlete triad. Until this meeting I had never heard of such a thing, neither had any of the other parents present. I think that it would be great if you could do a show so that all parents of female athletes can learn about this syndrome that is happening to alot of our girls out there. Todays society pressures our female athletes so much that the components that make up the female triad could happen to any girl no matter size or age. Please consider this, after researching it further I worry and watch both of my sport active daughters very closely.

     thank you

     I would like a tummy tuck but can’t afford one and I had a 5 bypass on Dec. 2007 and don’t know what the heart would do during surgery.

     Thanks Kim

     While watching your show about removing life support for a loved one, you discussed the necessity for having legal documentation in place and a medical care power of attorney.

     Thank God my husband and I did have those documents in place. However, he attempted to relieve me of such an instruction by placing “Do Not Recitate” “Patient Does not Want Feeding Tubes Reinserted in nose (he had it removed), “Patient Does Not want Hemodialysis” (he was a peritonial dialysis patient and hated hemo — putting a feeding tube in the belly would have mandated hemodialysis.

     He had pancreatitis and was hallucinating badly. Therefore he was “incompetent” to make decisions. The gastroenteriologist came to ME asking me to override HIS SPECIFIC INSRUCTIONS. I said “no” to putting a tube in his abdomen and he was angry with me about that decision.

     When a patient has so specifically stated their wishes there should be no question on the part of any physician or, for that matter, family member (parent, child, whomever).

     Just wanted to make you aware that other issues present themselves when the patient and/or their spouse THINK they have their bases covered. I stood firm, he became lucid again when some medications were removed. His final decision was to cease dialysis.

     On Oct 28 I was watching the episode about adequate time for maternity leave and here in Canada women are paid off for 49 weeks and there is no risk of loosing their job unless the company folded also out of that 49 weekd it can be split between mom and dad with dad being able to take part paid as well it is called parental leave and the maternity leave is a 16 weeks which only the woman can take and the rest of the 33 weeks can be taken by mom only or split between mom and dad. Also if the prognancy becomes comprimised or if it is too tiring for woman prior to her going on Mat leave she can apply for a 16 week sick leave which is paid for which is above and beyond the 49 maternity/parental leave. I have 4 daughters and I enjoyed every once of my mat leave.

     Hello..
     I Saw Your Show Today, (Oct 27) It Was About Brain Surgery For Kids With Cerebral Palsy.. And That That Surgery Helped Restore The Childs Brain… My 3 Month Old Baby Doesn’t Have That But, She Did Have Bleeding In Her Brain, And Had Severe Brain Damage And I Was Wondering If That Surgery Was Something That would Work For My Daughter.. If Not, Is There Anything That Can Be Done For My Daughter ? ?

     Dear Prof. Dr.

     I am from Iraq Kurdistan 34 year ago

     My complaint started about 7 years ago when both my thighs and legs started having pain, especially in the morning, in addition to some stiffness, I went to Baghdad and they told me that I have chronic tonsillitis and I have to remove my tonsils. After visiting several physicians, I agree to do the tonsillectomy on January 26 2005, however, I didn’t feel any improvement in the pain and stiffness of my lower limbs. On 15 August 2005, I went to Amman – Jordan, they told me that I didn’t have chronic tonsillitis, but it only was sore throat due to mouth breathing due to some kind of nasal allergy and blockage, they too couldn’t find any wrong with me.

     When I returned to Baghdad, they told me that I have some kind of rheumatism and put me on prednsolone for 4 months, in November 2006, I went to Dubai, they did a wide range of lab tests, they couldn’t find any evidence of a chronic inflammatory disease, and they said that the test results of Baghdad were wrong, I also did a histopathological test (muscle biopsy), but showed no evidence of any myopathy.

     In August 2007, I went back to Jordan, with out any conclusive outcome, however, in November 2007 I went to Iran Tehran and after a number of tests (CT, MRI, and EEGs) they told my that my initial complaint was due to a symptomatic arachnoid cyst causing pressure and possibly some damage to the cortex of the left hemi-brain, which consequently led to pain and stiffness in my proximal lower limbs, however, they also told me that, as a consequence of chronic steroid use, I developed osteonecrosis (AVN) of the femoral head, especially on the right side, claiming to be between stage IIA at the right & left side, Three months ago I had a decompression bone graft with stem cell surgery in my left hip, and I am planning to have same surgery in my right hip in the next few days. Also I am planning to have shunting surgery in my head to shift a fluid movement above my brain to another part of my body.
     I would like to ask if there is another solution to a second degree of Avascular necrosis rather than decompression bone craft?
     Do you believe that the shunting surgery is the best solution for my muscles and bones pain?
     Kindly inform me based on your experience if there are now better treatment and solutions for my case

     With best regards
     hamza M.H.Agha

     I just happened to catch your show today on laser hair removal. You only did partial research on the subject. Your guest “Dr,” said that electrolysis does not work. First, the term electrolysis, refers to hair removal, there are many types. Laser is one, another, the filement method, is another. Having been an electrologist for several years I can say without reservation, that the filament method of hair removal does indeed, COMPLETELY DESTROY
     the papilla of a follicle,unlike laser. Both methods of hair removal have their place, NEITHER are painless!! I’m sure that you have a huge number of filament using electrologist available to you in your area. I would strongly suggest that you give equal time to these professionals,as a complete service to your viewers. I think you will be quite surprised your findings when you do further research. SIncerely, Sharon

     United States has always been behind the times when it comes to affording adequate time off for mothers and their new babies. A country that boasts about the importance of the family unit, certainly doesn’t spend much money studying the importance of mother’s bonding with their new child. The stress is immense for working mothers and the government continually turns a blind eye to the problem.
     FYI I live in Canada and the biggest problem we have is finding a $7.00 a day vacancy in our daycare system. Our maternity leave is the best and once the leave is established there is always a happy temp available to replace us, because they know the job is for at least 49 weeks. The American gov’t needs to take it’s blinders off and do right for it’s new mothers and their babies.

     Hi Dr’s,

     I was hoping there was a contact email address instead of this posting but i can’t find the contact the dr’s.

     I have been suffering from i don’t know what. i have always been bloated, not really constipated but a little. have always felt tired dizzy my eyes get this fog layer at times. just all and all not feeling good.

     i am 46 years old and have been to ALL kinds of doctors, specialist, natural, accupunture, you name it i have been to everyone.

     all my tests seem to come back normal. i almost feel like my body is playing tricks. i feel sick then i wait till i go for tests and my body makes all my test look good. but i still feel crappy.

     i have been running and biking and weight training and situps and stretching for over 25 years and i try to eat very well. my friends and family all say i eat really good. so i guess i do. i figure if i do the right things i will feel good.

     i have been anemic for almost 43 years and not one doctor could get my iron up. i can’t believe it.

     i have been getting blood work done for years and when i was in my late 30’s i got high chlorestoral. now i think i am going through early menopause, since 38 years old. i haven’t been able to sleep, the hot flashes day and night and my White Blood cells are going down down down and that scares me a lot and all the family doctor says is “your fighting an infection” for years i am fighting an infection then find out? but he doesn’t. so i don’t know if it is a big deal, help someone help me, please i am begging someone, please. tears.

     if i could get a good night sleep i know i could feel better and do better in my exercise, but i am so tired and have so many chores to do at home.

     i am now dealing with low left back pain going down to my butt then to the back of my thigh and along the side of my thigh and tingly arches and heals and it hurts when i get out of a chair or out of bed. i can’t bend very well. and the sports medicine doctor has taken tons of tests from ultra sound, CT scans, X rays, blood work and a neurologist and everything is coming back NORMAL. then why the heck am i in SO MUCH PAIN????? it is madding.

     i am the type of patient that has a VERY HARD TIME EXPLAINING what and where is wrong with me. i wish there was a machine that a doctor could put me in and push a button and the machine would say “here is your problem” i feel stupid, and not smart when i go to the doctor cause i can’t express and explain and i have a hard time answering doctor’s questions cause i don’t know for sure if that is the problem when they say “is it like this or that” i just can’t explain myself. tears crying. my husband calls me a hypocondiacte and so i stop going to doctors and just deal with the pain in SILENCE and pretend everything is ok when it isn’t. and i tell my husband that if anything happens to me cause he tells me not to go and see doctors so much, i told him that if i die it will be your fault so take that. crying cryng crying
     i wouldn’t be going to a doctor if i wasn’t in pain or felt things going on.

     i am from Canada so i don’t know if anyone can help me out but if someone can please HELP, please i am at the end of the tunnel and i don’t know where else to go, please.

     thank for taking the time to read my post. if you have a private email please let me know. thanks again.

     Dear sirs,

     I was watching your program on Cerebral Palsy and how cord blood helped. I was wondering if cord blood could also help in other disabilities such as Distal Arthrogryposis.

     My third and youngest son (10 mths old) suffers from this disease and I have a few questions.

     1) Should we decide to get pregnant again can the cord blood be useful? (I am 38 years old.)

     2) Is there an age limit on how old a child should be before treatment can begin?

     3) How can a geneticist help to prevent another baby from inheriting his brothers disease?

     4) If cord blood can help.. who should I contact?

     Thank you,

     Sincerely, Seema.

     Regarding the 16yr old daughter with severe cramping during her period, have you discussed this with her primary care physician? I recommend, first, a female doctor or NP for your daughter so she will feel more comfortable discussing this and other issues a teenage girl doesn’t always want or feel comfortable talking about with family. Examples include breasts, emotions, new changes you would rather not learn about from friends. Secondly, the birth control pill has been the best treatment for irregular, heavy and painful menses. Of course, the PCP will rule out any other rare possibilities first. I also want to mention that just because a teenager gets started on the pill does not mean she will have sex or change her attitude toward it.
     I hope this helps.
