Merle The 420-Pound Heart Transplant Patient


Merle weighed 364 pounds when he got his new heart, and now weighs 420 pounds. He is full of life but his portion sizes are way to large. Merle said he is stuck and doesn't know how to get unstuck. He has always had a weight issue, even when he was young. Merle lost his focus when he was diagnosed with breast cancer last year.

Dr.Oz put Merle to the truth tube, his weight was 420, his HDL (Good cholesterol) was 28, and it should be 45, waist size was 58, and his BMI was 50. This means that Merle is morbidly obese.

Dr.Oz started him with Portion Control that someone will be checking on him everyday. The best plan he had for Merle was to put the allotted servings all in one container he can have each day, and once he eats what ever is left in the container is what he has left to eat for that day!

Dr. Oz told him to take psyllium husks, cinnamon, and lemon juice to make a texture like applesauce ( the lemon will suppress the appetite.) Brush his teeth and eat sugarless gum when he gets hungry.

His exercise program to put a stationary bike in front of the television. Merle is not to watch t.v. unless he is on the bike. This is a reminder that he isn't moving enough.

Sinus Infection Remedy


For sinusitis Dr. Oz says get these over the counter products; A humidifier, and a Nettie Pot. he highly recommends this Nettie pot, all you add is warm water and a saline solution. All you do is turn your head to the side while holding your head over the sink, gently pour the warm water in one nostril and it will come out the other nostril pushing out the thick mucus.
