Dr Oz Pancreatic Cancer

The pancreas is a 6-inch, fish-shaped gland that is wedged between the stomach and the spine. The organ is charged with producing insulin and other hormones (via the endocrine glands), as well as enzyme juices (via the exocrine glands) that help breakdown food during digestion.

The organ distributes their products to the rest of the gastrointestinal tract via ducts. Symptoms of pancreatic cancer depend on which gland or duct is affected. Although cancer can develop in the glandular cells of the pancreas, the ducts tend to be the most susceptible area.

Dr. Oz How To Survive When These 3 Disasters Strike

Dr. Oz -- What You Need To Know To Survive 3 disasters: fire, car accidents and plane crashes. The 3 simple steps to keep you and your family safe.
Car accidents, fires and plane crashes kill tens of thousands of Americans each year. Dr. Oz is sharing the simple steps you can take to keep you and your family calm and safe in the face of catastrophe. How to make it out when disaster strikes, and the tool Dr. Oz thinks is the most important tool of all.

Dr. Oz Disaster Survival 101

Dr. Oz tells the story about how fire is a persons worst nightmare, and a reality you never want to face. Last year alone more than half a million fires devastated places we go to everyday. Our homes, our work place, even hotels and the mall. Fire kills more of us than all natural disasters combined.

FIRE
Retired Firefighter Bob Gallion joined Dr. Oz today and left us with some really crucial facts about getting out of a fire. He said the first mistake is they don't fully recognize the smoke is going to kill them. Stay close to the ground, the air is cleaner. Almost all fatal fires occur in a home with no smoke alarm, because the #1 threat from a fire is not heat or flames, but smoke, which can suffocate you in minutes. Learn how to Prepare for a fire, and what to remember.
Create a floor plan with all doors, windows.
Smoke Detectors -- Change the batteries twice a year when you change your clocks.
Fire extinguishers -- To use, pull the pin, stand back, and spray in sweeping motions over a large area.
Escape ladders -- Every bedroom above the first floor should have a folding escape ladder.

Remember if the door is hot, stay away from it. If the door is open and you see flames or smoke, close it immediately, and takes blankets or towels and seal the bottom of the door. Stay low to the floor, because a room can fill with smoke within 3 minutes. Crawl over to the window, and if you are on the first or second floor jump the heck out. It better to have a broken bone than to die. If you are too high up stay under the window, because that is the first place the rescue team will look and find you! Always crawl with your knuckles not the palm of your hands in any situation concerning heat and fire so you don't burn the palms of the hands.

If you are on fire, the old saying is true -- Stop, drop, and roll. If someone else is on fire, get them to the ground with a leg sweep, or any way you can to force them to the ground. Smother the flames with anything wet like a towel, or anything dry for that matter to help save them. Try to gently remove the burnt clothing, if the clothing is stuck to the skin, leave it, try your best to find something cool or wet to cover it, then wrap them in a blanket or sheet.

Surviving In A Car Accident

Car accidents are the disaster you are most likely to face. In 2008, they claimed the lives of 34,000 people. And yet, for most of us, driving is something we do without thinking. How to Prepare for a car accident, and what to remember. Dr. Oz highly recommended an aboslutely essential tool for every single driver, it has to be all of your cars, no exception, it's called the Life Hammer The Lifehammer is an all-in-one tool that includes a blade to cut seatbelts and a double-sided hammer to easily and safely break back and side windows if the doors are stuck or the car is submerged. Dr. Oz did a mock car accident scene where he showed us how that tool shattered the window effortlessly. The Lifehammer shatters the window purposely into small pieces, it is designed to do exactly that.saying even the smallest person can do it.

Panic is a terrible thing when you feel you are trapped. There are thousands of stories you hear about people not being able to get out of their car because they couldn't get out of the seat belt, or the door is so jammed they have to wait for the fire department to get there with the jaws of life. Time is of the essence, and every second counts on getting out of a car that could catch on fire, or explode. Stock your glove box with a 72 Hour Survival kit that contains light sticks and snacks with a long shelf life, and water pouches.

Dr. Oz had Amber Pennell talk with everyone today about her experience of being trapped in her vehicle for 5 days with no food and water. Her story took place in August of 2008 when her vehicle went into a 80 foot deep ravine. She lay injured and trapped in her truck. Amber Pennell's Full Story msnbc.com.

AIRPLANE CRASHES
Did you know that more than 95% of passengers in plane crashes make it out alive, make sure you’re one of them. When you board your plane along with finding where the nearest emergency exit is, count how many seats backwards or forwards to that exit so that if the plane is full of smoke you can't use your hands to guide you through how many rows to that exit. Pay attention to the flight attendant when they explain about the oxygen masks and the exits. Wear clothing of natural fiber, dress in non-synthetic clothing including panty hose (articles like panty hose will melt right into your skin), and where flat shoes, put the heels in your carry on bag! Take off metal jewelry because the heat will heat it up and burn your skin.

Warning Signs Of The 4 Deadly Pains On Dr. Oz

Dr. Oz T.V. Show Recap 4 Deadly Pains Not To Ignore.
Pain And What Your Body Is Trying To Tell You.

Aches and pains are not just a part of life, they are the body’s smoke signals, saying we need help immediately. More than 16 Million Americans visit the emergency room each year because of potential life threatening pain, he also says how many people don’t even make it there, because they ignored the warning signs. 70 % of people surveyed they delayed seeking medical attention when they experienced a sharp pain. A deadly decision for some!

Dr. Oz talked today about dull aches and sharp shooting pains that are warning signs from your body. These are signs that something might be terribly wrong. By ignoring these it could be deadly, and there is a limited time to react before tragedy can strike.
That throbbing in your leg, that stabbing ache in your back could be telling you something is definitely wrong inside. Do you know the common 4 deadly pains you should never ignore, Dr. oz says the answers could save your life.

The 4 Deadly Pains

1. Deep Vein Thrombosis — Pain in the calf of your leg. The first pain that shouldn’t be ignored is sitting in one position for a long period of time. When you have pain in your legs is that you may have a clot in your leg, which is called Deep Vein Thrombosis. It feels like somebody took a blood pressure cuff and squeezed you down in your calf.

Dr. Oz says while you sit, the veins normally milk the blood back up to the heart, but if your sitting they can’t do that. (Dr. Oz uses the example of sitting on a plane) Clots form and fly off when you stand again and after you leave the airplane they go up to the heart where their pumped into the lungs, and they actually block the blood supply to the lungs. When they do that, the heart can’t push the blood anymore to the lungs, you get acutely short of breath, and it’s actually a common problem for a lot of people. Blood clots in the legs — People sitting for long periods of time, family history of it, and women on estrogen or any kind of birth control pill seems to increase the incidence.

Dr. Lee Vinocur says pain from Deep Vein Thrombosis you can feel a cord where the clot is, sometimes there can be redness, swelling associated with it, and it will feel like increased pressure, tightness in your leg. Oz says that if you pull back your toes you can make the pain worse. Every two hours get up and walk or take the your foot and press it like you were pressing on the gas petal. Dr. Oz says if you have pain like that to go see someone about it. It may be just a blood thinner which can deal with the complications of Deep Vein Thrombosis.

2. Ectopic Pregnancy This pain can only kill women — An Ectopic Pregnancy is the leading cause of death in women who are pregnant in their first trimester. Women most at risk for having that problem are young women and people who had a sexually transmitted disease (STD’S). One of the red flag warning signs is when someone comes in with belly pain, and they’ve fainted, or they have dizziness, and their periods are off, and they missed a period, that’s a red flag and Dr. Vinocur says that they get them to an ultra sound right away, and sometimes they have to be rushed to the operating room.

3. Head Pain The most common pain and one of the reasons people donate their organs is Head Pain. Dr. Oz says there are many different kinds of pain that cause headaches, but Oz says he is interested in the one that is Brain Hemorrhage Pain. These are described as the worst headaches you would ever have in your life. The blood could be on the surface of the brain if you banged your head, or it could be deep inside the brain, but either case the blood puts pressure on the brain.

Dr. Vinocur tells us how to distinguish between a headache and a “Bad Headache”. She said it is without a doubt the worst headache of their your life, and the important issue with this is they now think of this as a stroke in the brain, called brain attacks. You need to get to the hospital right away, because the longer you wait the more your going to risk brain damage.

4. Heart — The #1 pain that causes death is the heart! Dr. Oz’s Specialty Area. Dr. Oz introduced us to karen who had watched a previous show of Dr. Oz with Dr. G the medical examiner, who claims by watching that show is the reason she is alive today. She said that when Oz and Dr. oz explained that many women die of heart attacks because they think they have heartburn. She said a few days later after watching his show she started feeling chest pains that wouldn’t go away. Normally she would have taken an antacid and gone to bed, instead she went straight to emergency, and says thank God she did!

The doctor gave her a Stress Echocardiogram, they discovered the main arteries to her heart were 75% blocked. She was a ticking time bomb and didn’t know it. The Doctor told her she could of had a massive heart attack. They put a stent in and she says that is why she is here today!

Dr. Oz and Karen talked on stage and he asked her what she thought was happening to her at that time. She said she had a tightness, didn’t know if it was heartburn, didn’t know if it was bronchial, she just felt like something wasn’t right.

Dr. G From A previous Dr. Oz Taping Reported: The number one cause of death among women over the age of forty is Heart Disease. Thirty percent of people with heart disease don’t have symptoms, and women sometimes experience heart disease quite differently than men. Dr. Oz said that women should need to know their blood pressure, not ignore the symptoms of indigestion, make sure they are getting omega-3 fatty acids in their diets. Dr. Oz — Heart attack symptoms in women — Chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea, vomitting …

Dr. Oz says if you experience severe chest pains take an aspirin and get to an ER right away! That’s the most important thing you can do if your having a heart attack. Every minute that goes by your heart muscle may be dying.

SWINE FLU Propaganda A Must Watch Video | Will You Get The Swine Flu Shot

Obama Declares H1N1 Emergency

Washington (CNN) -- President Obama has declared a national emergency to deal with the "rapid increase in illness" from the H1N1 influenza virus.
"The 2009 H1N1 pandemic continues to evolve. The rates of illness continue to rise rapidly within many communities across the nation, and the potential exists for the pandemic to overburden health care resources in some localities," Obama said in a statement.

Calling the emergency declaration "an important tool in our kit going forward," one administration official called Obama's action a "proactive measure that's not in response to any new development."
Another administration official said the move is "not tied to the current case count" and "gives the federal government more power to help states" by lifting bureaucratic requirements -- both in treating patients and moving equipment to where it's most needed.

The officials didn't want their names used because they were not authorized to speak on the record. Obama's action allows Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius "to temporarily waive or modify certain requirements" to help health care facilities enact emergency plans to deal with the "pandemic."
Those requirements are contained in Medicare, Medicaid and state Children's Health Insurance programs, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act privacy rule.

H1N1 Outbreak Found In Ontario Turkey Operation

Today Ontario has confirmed a swine flu infection in a turkey operation.

Here is what has been claimed!

The Province of Ontario chief medical officer of health says this outbreak doesn't pose a threat to humans.

The outbreak affected a breeder's flock of turkeys, which don't go into the food chain and therefore aren't a concern for human health, Dr. Arlene King said Tuesday.

"I want to assure Ontarians that the risk to human health from this situation is minimal," King said.

King said the turkeys likely contracted the virus from people.

"We have to do all we can to stop the transmission of viruses between people and animals," King said. "The risk is the potential changes to the virus against which people could have reduced or no immunity,"

King said the producer, whose location was not made public, has quarantined the birds, and provincial officials will continue to monitor the situation.

Dr. Deb Stark, chief veterinarian for Ontario, said influenza viruses like H1N1 circulate among birds, livestock and humans.


Food safety not at risk

King said the infected turkeys do not pose a risk to food safety. She said no birds or eggs from the infected farm have entered the food chain, though she stressed that people should cook poultry thoroughly.

The turkey farm infection in Ontario appears to be the first in Canada and represents the second animal-species infection in the country.

Chile has confirmed cases of swine flu in turkeys as well.

It said turkey meat could still be sold commercially following proper inspections.

Dr. Oz The Number 1 Shocking Teen Sex Secrets

Dr. Oz Teen Sex Crisis What Every parent Must Know Right Now, The Number 1 Shocking Sex Secret -- Teen Sex Crisis!

The #1 biggest secret your teenager doesn't want you to know is putting them in danger, some kids have admitted to having sex at 8 years old. By the time they are in junior high school 1 in 14 are having sex, and by high school that number is 1 out of 3 teens are having sex. 3 out of 10 girls in the U.S. get pregnant at least once before they turn 20. 1 out of 4 girls between the ages of 15 and 19 is infected with an STD. Among them chlamydia which can lead in infertility, and HPV is often a precursor to cervical cancer.


Dr. Oz is joined by Sex Expert, Dr. Laura Berman to discuss the shocking sex secrets teens are keeping from their parents, with guests Kaitlin and Tyler from the eight part series "16 And Pregnant". "What Your Teen is Not Telling You", Dr. Oz asked Laura what is this big secret that teens are keeping, is it intercourse--vaginal sex. What parents may not know is 50 percent of teenagers are having oral sex, and 1 in 10 are having anal sex. Laura Berman explains that teenagers believe they are still virgins if they are having anal sex and oral sex, that they can't get pregnant or get STD's.

Dr. oz asked Kaitlin and Tyler if what Dr. Berman said was accurate, and if kids think it is safer than vaginal sex. Kaitlin says that ever since she has been in the 7th grade, kids have been having oral sex, and Tyler spoke up and said yes that kids are having anal sex, and that these kids do believe it is safe sex.

Dr. Oz teamed up with the Family Circle to survey parents about their teen's sex, and found the numbers to be stunning.

75% of Mother's believe that their teens are getting their sex information from their friends, that means that teens are learning about sex from other teenagers. 41% of parents know what their kids are doing on the web, and 41% believe their kids have visited a pornographic site. Kaitlin says she lost her virginity with Tyler, and she learned everything from him, she says she figured he knew what he was doing, and she ended up getting pregnant, they were together for two years.

Dr. Oz and Dr. Berman went on to talk about the risks of the Human Papillomavirus HPV Virus, which can cause genital, venereal warts. Oz and Berman discussed The new oral cancer, anal cancer, and cervical cancer depending on where the HPV is contracted. Laura says HPV accounts for 90% of those cancers.

Dr. Laura Berman's Advice On Teen Sex And STD's

Dr. Berman stressed you have to talk to your kids about intercourse and safer sex, pregnancy prevention, and about the risks of anal sex and oral sex especially with anal sex their is no natural lubrication in the anus like there is with the vagina. With anal sex there are very small fissures or small little tears that happen, which are entering points for any STD, or HPV.

The 3 things Dr. Oz And Dr. Berman went over what was imperative to do for these issues.
1. There is a FDA approved HPV vaccine Gardicil for girls ages 9 to 26, and now recommending now for boys aged 9 to 26. Dr. Berman's opinion is that since it protects from 4 of the risky kinds of HPV that cause the cancers, every parent should get this for their children. Dr. Oz's concerns about the HPV vaccine was that it only covers 4 of the cancers, and who makes the decision, the parent or the child. He said that it is a good way to get a conversation going with your child about sex and the vaccine.

2. Dr. Berman says as soon as you have a whiff that your daughter is being sexually active, get her the Gardasil, start her on gynecological visits, talk to your kids about sexually transmitted disease's getting tested for STD's, talk to them about pregnancy, and protecting themselves from these. The other thing Dr. Oz went on to say is sometimes the doctor can go on to have conversations with these kids, where parents can't.

3. Have the talk, the title of Dr. Laura Berman's new book Talking To Your Kids About Sex. The book Talking to Your Kids about Sex - Turning "The Talk" Into A conversation For Life is basically about talking to your kids. Teaching your child about sex can be a rewarding, relationship-strengthening experience.

5 Check Tests For Your Pet

Dr. oz and his dog Rosie were with the Vet on Dr. Oz today to give us the 5 tests to check our pets ourselves.

1. Flip the lips -- gums should be bubble gum pink
2. Flip the ears -- look in the ear canal, feel for heat, if you see black with little white thing moving around, they are mites.
3. Rub the ribs -- feel along the ribs starting at the base of the neck and work your way all the way down the spine, if your pet whimpers or flinches, or tries to bite that shows you have a problem with the spinal cord.
4. Feel the fur -- rub the fur for lumps, bumps, and ticks. Rub the fur backwards and if the pets fur falls right back down it means they are well hydrated. If you lift it up and it sinks down like molasses it means they need some kind of coat or skin supplement.
5. Take their temperature -- You don't need to stick a thermometer up the butt, use an
Infrared Ear Thermometer and pop it into his ear, and the dog's temperature should be 102 degree's.

Dr. Oz's Prescription To healthy Skin

Dr. Oz's prescription for your healthiest skin -- Terry and Dr. Oz did a little experiment with the skin, and ways to make your skin beautiful yourself at home.

Add 1/4 cup olive oil to bath water
Use a gentle exfoliating scrub or cloth to remove dead skin
Use a mild body wash that contains replenishing oils that penetrate the skin
Don't use overly hot water and pat dry after bathing
After bathing apply a coat of moisturizer while still damp
Avoid ingredients that cause sensitivity or have heavy fragrances or dyes
Eat foods high in zinc and vitamin C to promote cell renewal

Dr. Oz used Dove Body Wash -- Dove Moisturizer Products, and to incorporate Vitamin C and Zinc into your diet.

Hormones testosterone And Grelin

The hormone testosterone is responsible for the level of a women's libido, and the organ that makes testosteron in women is the ovaries. Women make a little bit of testosterone and it is made from the adrenal gland and we get a lot of it from the ovaries. When women start to go through menopause their ovaries stop making testosterone, which is why they lose a lot of their libido. So when women start going through menopause Dr. oz says it's fair to give them a little testosterone through Testosterone Gel, or testosterone injections from the doctor.

The hormone responsible for increasing and decreasing your appetite is called Grelin, and the organ that makes Grelin is the stomach. Grelin send a message to your brain telling you that your hungry. Dr. oz says by eating foods such as nuts that will satiate you it will actually reduce the Grelin so you naturally won't feel hungry.

The organ that makes Melatonin is the brain. As folks get older they start to have trouble sleeping, because the brain makes less melatonin. Synthetic pills such as melatonin can be bought over the counter to help you sleep.

What Are Dr. Oz's 15 Tips For Flu Prevention

Dr. Oz suggested these tips to help to protect you from the H1N1 virus.

1. Get Vaccinated
In clinical trials, most adults who got a single dose were protected within 8 to 10 days. The National Institutes of Health and manufacturers under contract with Health and Human Services are working to get an H1N1 vaccine ready for widespread use in time to protect against the mid-winter peak.

2. Wash your hands
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) say that hand washing is the number one way you can prevent the spread of disease. Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water. Use An alcohol-based hand sanitizer if a sink isn't nearby.

3.Sneeze or cough in the crook of your elbow
When you cover your mouth with your hands, the virus lands in your palm, and is easily transferred to everything you touch.

4.Keep your hands off your face
Germs enter the bloodstream through various mucous membranes. If your nose is dry, try coating it with an emollient such as petroleum jelly or beeswax. Regular use of a Neti Pot can keep sinus passages clear.

5. Take Vitamin D
Vitamin D is produced in the body during exposure to sunlight. During the winter we tend to get less exposure so vitamin D supplements are recommended. People who take vitamin D supplements have better luck avoiding the seasonal flu; there is no reason to think that it won't do the same for H1N1 virus. Flu outbreaks tend to occur in places where solar radiation is low.

6. Stay hydrated
You are hydrated if your urine is a clear pale yellow. Dark yellow is a sign that your urine is concentrated and you need to drink more.

7. Get out in open space
Cold weather usually brings us indoors, close proximity sometimes in a crowd of people may be unknowingly infected and hello germs. Spend some time outdoors and get some fresh air.

8. Keep fit
Aerobic activity improves the exchange of oxygen to keep the immune system strong and lungs clear.

9. Eat your greens … and blues and oranges …
Dark and colorful fruits and vegetables are loaded with immune boosting phytochemicals.

10. Eat probiotics
Probiotics products such as yogurt and soy products like Miso and tempeh. Eating these foods not only promotes balance of healthy bacteria but is important for digestive health.

11. Don't smoke
If you smoke these hairs in your nose become damaged, which compromises breathing and produces more virus-trapping mucous.

12. Limit alcohol consumption
Excessive drinking depresses the immune system and compromises liver function. Heavy drinkers are more prone to infections and dehydration.

13. Stay home if you are sick
By symptoms alone you probably won't know if you have the H1N1 flu or seasonal flu. You may not experience any symptoms for a few days.

The Cookie Diet I Can Eat Cookies And Lose Weight Fast

An unlikely diet, the weight loss cookies everyone is talking about is Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet. Dr. Siegal’s COOKIE DIET® was featured on the cover of the 2009 "Half Their Size" issue of People. Did you read how Josie Raper from Phoenix lost 120 lbs?

On Good Morning America(GMA) this morning there was talk of the Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet Cookie Diet. Is it real, or is it too good to be true. At age 28 and 240 lbs. this lady said she would rather eat a cupcake then eat vegetables, just couldn't eat healthy. She found Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet Online.

6 months later her size 24 frame was a size 6, she is now a size 0. When she started the cookie diet there was no splurging, no sneaking little snacks she says she was very strict. Josie's story landed her on the cover of people magazine. Celebrities like Denise Richards, jennifer Hudson and Kelly Clarkson also reportedly tried the Cookie Diet.

Here is how it works, you eat 6 specially developed Diet Cookies throughout the day with water. There is no set meals you just eat them when you are hungry. Then you eat approximately a 500 calorie dinner of lean protein and vegetables.

Dr. Sandford Siegal developed his diet cookie after years of treating obesity patients saying the number one factor that ruins diets is hunger, so he wanted to create a product that will control that hunger.

The cookie is a form of amino acids, and Siegal said it is something people would like and women could carry this Cookie product around in the purse, it doesn't require refrigeration.

Siegal says the low 1000 calorie Cookie Diet is to take weight off fast. Siegal says he knows from experience that if the weight loss doesn't come off fast, they quit the diet, and therefore you don't accomplish anything.

One doctor said there is no credible medical evidence to support that the Cookie Diet helps people to lose and maintain weight loss over a long period of time, or there is any health benefit from doing it, there is not enough nutrition.

GMA sent the Cookie Diet Cookies to a lab to see if they matched the nutrients listed on the label, and yes the cookies are what they say they are. But experts say they are not enough.

Dr. Siegal went on to say he has treated over a half a million patients over a 34 year period with Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet, and claims he is yet to see the first case where anyone suffered any ill effect from eating a low calorie diet. he says obesity is much riskier than a very low calorie diet and that cookie diet customers take a daily multi vitamin to assure good nutrition. He says he never intended for the Cookie Diet to be a long term program, but Josie has been on the Cookie Diet for two years now, and does not know if or when she will stop. I guess that's why she is a size zero on the Cookie Diet, and no longer needs her fat pants.

The cost of the cookie diet is approximately 250.00 dollars a month, or eight dollars a day for a month's supply of the Cookie Diet Cookies, and free worldwide shipping.

Dr. Siegal is frequently in the news. Over the years he has been profiled by ABC's Good Morning America, New York Daily News, CNN, and Fox News Channel.

Dr. Seigal's Cookie Diet Claims get started now and lose weight fast.

Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet - More than 500,000 people have used his cookies to lose weight. Now it's your turn!

At The Houston Free Health Clinic Dr. oz found Edward standing in line because of alarming health issues. He had blood in his stool, and an extended belly, he had lumps where he shouldn't have lumps. The free clinic can only provide base line testing, but he did receive a colonoscopy done by a very good doctor friend of Dr. Oz where Dr. oz has his practice. Edward never had a colonoscopy done while he was working he said, because like most men he just kept putting it off. Edward had 9 polyps removed and a hemorrhoid. Edward is just one of the faces that represent the uninsured of America.

Dr. Oz and two ears, throat and nose specialists had a look at steven. He has been turned away from jobs because of this massive brown growth on his mouth. Apparently if steven would of had health insurance this could have been taken care of in now time with a doctor visit by doing a small excision to remove it, now it has grown too large, Steven is a failure of the system.

Dr. Oz 5 Deadly Medication Mistakes Women Make

Dr. Oz Wednesday - October 14, 2009

Dr. Oz 5 Deadly Medication Mistakes Women Make

The 5 Deadly medication mistakes that can put you in a coma

The 5 deadly medication mistakes are

1. Mix up your pills -- Medications that sound and look alike and so similar you take the wrong one. 25% of drug errors are due medication mixups.
2. Taking medications that are the wrong dose.
3. Taking medications with the wrong foods. Foods such as grapefruit and leafy greens can pose a problem with certain medications. Ask your doctor which foods can interfere with your medications, write them down on a sticky and put it on your refrigerator, so you don't make mistakes
4. Mixing herbal supplements with prescription drugs. You can take St. Johns wort for example for depression, but if you combine it with antidepressant something called Serotonin syndrome can happen. You can't take Ginseng with certain diabetic medications, it can put you in a coma. So take all your OTC and prescriptions medications and brown bag it to the pharmacists.
5. Taking multiple medications for the same problem. Show your doctor -- show your pharmacist everything your taking!

Too much acetaminophen is toxic when taken in high dosages, over doses of this drug are the number 1 cause of acute liver failure in this country, resulting in 26,000 hospitalizations each year, and 450 deaths.
25% of Over the counter anti-inflammatory drugs cause ulcers
1.5 million people injured each year results from mistakes they make with their medications, and over 3/4 quarter of the population use over the counter medications.
Dr. Oz says to do the brown bag check up, which means you bag up everything, take all of it to your doctor and the pharmacist because there are many dangerous combinations. keep your medications in their original containers, make a list of all the medications you take, and what you take them for.

Apparently there are about 1400 drugs that have names that sound similar to others. Dr. Oz also spoke about taking medications in the wrong dose, it is the second leading cause of unintentional deaths, it's right behind car accidents. Many OTC drugs come in prescription strength, follow the instructions, read the labels and only take the exact dosing amount.

When the liver is overdosed with a simple drug such as over the counter acetaminophen can cause the liver to die. Rebecca a girl in the audience told the story of her 24 year old sister April who had a high number of acetaminophen tablets to treat her severe stomach pain, she had been seeing specialists and having tests done for acid reflux and received medications, and was told she could take acetaminophen for the pain. She went to the hospital with abdominal pain,they realized she was in acute liver failure due acetaminophen. They rushed her the nearest liver transplant centre and she received a new liver, but it was too late for the new liver to catch up to all the toxins in her body. Her family doesn't know how much she was taking but she died within two weeks from liver failure.

Former Model Connie Emotional Eater

Once a model, Connie is bravely facing her food addiction: Former model Connie is an emotional eater , and works at a bakery and constantly surrounded by temptation.

Connie says she didn't crave junk she craved good food, and ate too much of it, and that was her problem. She was once a plus size model wearing a size 12-14. She started a working a cookie store and the sizes went up. Stating portion control was not in her vocabulary, Connie says being fat excuses you from everything, it excuses you from life. She used to ride her bike 26 miles a day and she can't do that anymore because she is too heavy. Connie said she loves food and she hates food because of what she allowed it to do to her. Food makes her angry and food makes her sad, but it is her business she loves to feed people, she said she tries to be good with it, but she can't help to be bad.

On the truth tube Connie weighed in at 375 pounds, her B/P was 140/96, her waist was 61 inches, BMI 53.6,Dr. Oz did a glucose level test on her and her blood sugar levels were 119 which means she is pre diabetic. If you are over 100 you are pre diabetic, and 125 you are a diabetic.

Dr. oz explained to Connie that our brains have four different hunger centers. You have an appetite for food, and appetite for water, an appetite for sex, and an appetite for for sleep. He told Connie this is a part she has to work on because if she does not get a restful sleep she get up and will crave carbohydrates. He explained that the food and water side there is some confusion that frequently happens, your brain will not allow you to silence the alarm for craving unless you give it a little something of what it needs.

He told Connie she needs to eat every three to four hours, and she will eat smaller amounts each time. He told her he wants her to feel light, not to ever eat too much that she would have that laid down feeling. Dr. oz suggested a little bit of yogurt and a banana in the morning, or oatmeal with cinnamon, the cinnamon would help with her blood sugar. Salmon and broccoli for lunch, he had a table full of fruit, veggies, and said to have these things but just not as much as she would normally have.

Then Dr. Oz and Connie moved on to the next big issue Connie has, mental cravings. Dr. oz explained mental cravings usually last 10 to 15 minutes at the most, so he showed her what she could have to get through those cravings. Have little snacks -- a little piece of real chocolate, that is 70 to 100 percent real cocoa because it is very low in calories, or a spoonful of applesauce, or sorbet, things to help her get through those crucial moments. When she is having the salt cravings, always have water first, if you are craving salt it means you are usually already dehydrated. Oz recommended, pickles, or some Miso soup and little wafers as these are easy ways of getting some salt and get her through the hump.

Dr. oz's key message for Connie was you have to love what your doing, or it's not going to make a difference. Connie looked at Dr. oz and said "I love you, so I'm gonna do it", and Dr. Oz gave her a big hug.

Dr. Oz started of by saying that it's cold and flu season again, and that one of the best ways to avoid getting sick is to build a better immune system. The five superfoods to build your immune system and to give you super immunity are:

1. Sardines -- Sardines increase the white cell aggressiveness so it helps keep the white cell immunity, their rich in Vitamin D, is one of the more important source of immune support.

Stinky Feet

Women are obsessed with their feet, but for millions of women their feet can be a source of embarrassment, because they suffer from foot odour. Dr. oz says when your feet smell your not happy!

A few simple steps Dr. Oz recommends for smelly feet, he asks if he can smell her feet, so he smells her feet and with a look of hmmmm, says ya, you got a little bit of an odour there.

Dr. Oz Soaks her feet in a little bath while he tells us why some peoples feet stink.

Why feet smell, it's called the 3 S's -- Sweat, Socks and Shoes, put all three of them together you got bacteria. You have 250,000 sweat glands on your feet, underneath the dermis, you have these. Foods can intensify the odour, foods such as coffee, certain spices, beer, onions, asparagus, and some beans, black beans will actually cause odours.

Dr. oz took some tea bags and boiled them in water, cooled it down and that is what he had her feet soaking in. He says to do this for about half an hour everyday for about a week, and after that use it as you need too. Tea bags have tannins in them, and they kill bacteria, and shrink the pores a little bit, and make the sweat glands much less active.

Or you can use roll on anti-perspirants(not deodorants) on your feet, the chemicals in it aluminium, roll it on the areas that your feet sweat, if you don't like using these there are medicated pads you can use, moisture control pads has the aluminium product in it, but a different form.

Give yourself a brown bag checkup get all your pills, drugs and supplements to your pharmacist once a year and get them to check for any drug interactions.

Second build up your super immunity, incorporate Elderberry Juice into your diet each day, and stay healthy this cold and flu season.

And if you have a foot odour avoid wearing nylon socks, because they provide very little ventilation, and everyone around you will be glad you did.

Dr. Oz The 4 Deadliest Rooms In Your House | Shocking Headache triggers

Tuesday October 13 2009 Today on The Dr. Oz Show

The 4 Deadliest Rooms In Your House -- How To Tell If Your House is Toxic

The 4 Toxic Rooms In Our Home
Is your home a safe zone, you may be surprised -- Today on Dr. Oz was with Mike Holmes from Holmes On Homes and Toxicologist Gary Ginsburg. When you close your windows and lock your doors your trapping far more dangers in than your keeping out. Toxic mold, mildew and dust mites make your home theirs. Breeding on your walls, pipes, and tiles. There are things in your home that can emit harmful chemicals, and gases that permeate the air, getting into your body through your mouth, eyes and your lungs. Would you know your house is TOXIC.

Mike Holmes say every home has toxins in it, the question is how bad is it. There are 4 toxic zones of house that are discussed by Dr. oz, Mike Holmes, and Gary Ginsberg.

Toxic zone #1 is the bathroom. Mike says the mold in the bathroom is formed from 2 food groups--mold wants to eat and drink. We give it plenty of moisture when we get a shower, using the tub etc., and feeding off organic products such as the paper on drywall. They showed a clip of mold on both sides, the outer side was not like the back side, it had black mold. Sometimes black mold will get so black that actually dust mites will grow and bury itself in and start feeding on the mold, the dust mites will die and the mold will feed on the dust mites which begins a continuous cycle.

Dr. Oz's concern with the mold is that those little spores will fly into the air, and then travel into your lungs, as they go down your lungs they burrow through little pathways deep into your lungs, once there they can do all kinds of things to irritate your lungs, they can cause asthma attacks, they can cause bleeding inside the lungs, and other infections.

If you find mold you can clean it yourself if it 10 square feet or less, don't panic and do not use bleach to clean mold. Use soap, water and a mask, brush it and clean it off. If you want to check and see if your ventilation is working properly in your bathroom, use a tissue and see if the suction of the vent holds the tissue, if it doesn't it isn't ventilating enough.

Toxic zone # 2 is the family room, this room because if you are in an older home it may have lead paint, under the new paint. Mike Holmes says Lead paint is not good for you, it is worse than mold. To tell if you have lead paint in your house you can use a lead test strip, rub it on the old paint that may be under the new paint, if it turns pink you have lead paint. Do not remove it yourself, call a qualified professional. Medical problems with lead is if kids get lead in their body it affects their brain function, their not smart anymore, cause seizures, hearing loss, and if your pregnant it can cause miscarriage.

Author Dr. Gary Ginsberg commented also on toxins in the home. Dr. Oz promoted his book "What's Toxic, What's Not", it's about little things you can find out for yourself about toxins around the home. He explained that if there is lead paint on a window sill, and that paint chips from one window can contaminate a whole child's bedroom.

Toxic Zone # 3 is your basement. Especially in older homes asbestos wraps for your pipes, years ago they put asbestos in the wrap because it was a fire rated product. It's also in vinyl tiles, ceiling tiles, so depending on the year you have another big care, this a really big scare over mold. Did you buy your home before 1975? that is the year the legislation changed and you could no longer incorporate asbestos into the lining of vinyl tiles. If you find asbestos do not touch it, poke it, do not play with it at all -- DO NOT PUT THE SPORES INTO THE AIR! It's very dangerous, mold is nothing compared to asbestos says Mike Holmes. Asbestos can kill you and will kill you.

Dr. Oz says when asbestos fragments and gets into the lungs, it like little pins that go down into your lungs, and through the trachea and into the deep lung area it will impale the lungs like spears, and cause scarring which can cause cancer, and not just of the cancer of the lung but cancer to the lining of the lung, called mesothelium.

You can also find in the basement is radon, radon is a radio active gas. You can get a radon kit to test the air, and instructions as to where to send it for testing and get the results. And we all need to be concerned about gases of your furnace.

Toxic zone # 4 was in the backyard -- Pressure treated wood was arsenic infused before the 2005, it is recommended to be stained once a year with an oil base stain.

Shocking Headache Triggers

Where does it hurt? Your temples, sinuses, base of the neck? Dr. Oz shows you some shocking triggers and what you can do to prevent and treat them.

Dr. Oz today talked on the throbbing, aching and sharp shooting pain of headaches, headache horrors. He went on to say that most headaches are preventable. he told us of the shocking headache triggers we need to avoid. His assistant of the day was a lady named Velvet. Dr. Oz talked about the 3 major types of headaches, and they were tension headaches, cluster headaches, and migraines.

Tension headaches are located at your temples where the muscle is. he went on to explain that a tension headache is like a vice squeezing your head usually on the sides together, because that is where you get the pressure on the sides of your head.

The cluster headaches are right around the eyes. When you have a cluster headache around the eye, it will make you tear a little bit, redness around the eyes, and the nose will drip a little bit too. With a cluster headache that whole part of the face will be irritated.

The migraine headaches are one side of the head, it will be lightening and throbbing, and light makes a migraine a lot worse -- called photo sensitivity. That means the light is hitting your head and it's causing a short circuit up there so you get not just a throbbing but this searing pain which can cause nausea and vomiting as well.

Dr. Oz's 3 Headache Triggers

One of the triggers for headaches is cheese. Inside cheese is tyramine, tyramine is an amino acid which is a trigger for headaches, it's probably one of the biggest triggers for migraine headaches.

The second classic cause for headaches are scents in your house, and the trigger he used today was a vanilla candle. Dr. oz says this was very important for everyone because people never pay attention to it. Vanilla scents in particular, and other strong scents can and will induce headaches, especially migraine headaches very commonly.

The third trigger for headaches were hair ties -- elastics to hold the hair up. They put traction on the hair and pull it back and induce little micro tears and irritation which sensitizes your whole head, and hello headache.

Dr. Oz's Three Headache Remedies

Dr. Oz's remedy for headaches was jalapeño peppers. Oz says jalapeño peppers actually work. They have something in them called capsaicin, the spice in it that makes it very effective. The question was how do you get it, because you can't stick it in your nose, and who is going to sit and want to eat them when they have a throbbing headache. Well it comes in a nasal spray, apparently is pretty strong stuff, they both gave themselves a shot up the nose of this Capsaicin Nasal Spray. Apparently the capsaicin is ground up and made into a mist. Everyone is laughing and Dr. Oz says you won't have to worry about having headaches after these things.

The next remedy for headaches was Peppermint Essential Oil, called aromatherapy. He rubbed the oil to the forehead, temples where the headache is and it allows the essential oil to be absorbed into the skin, plus you also get the scent. He went on to say Lavender Essential Oils are just as effective, and these remedies carry no risks, so it a common treatment that can be effective in our homes.

The third headache remedy Dr. Oz did was use a headband that he put over his forehead or over the eyes. He dipped it water that was was scented with different scents of lavender and peppermint and other scents of choice that are very calming and soothing to help deal with the symptoms of headaches. he went on to say all 3 remedies are common tools to use with no side effects.

Our Army Wife Weight Loss While her Husband Was In Iraq

She lost 50 pounds while he was away, she said the time was now. She coulnd't afford a gym membership, so off she went with her two boys in a carriage and went from walking to jogging. She prepared her meals on Sunday's for the week and froze them because there was never enough time when she got home at night to prepare healthy meals, and froze no fat yogurt with fruit to have in place of ice cream.

Her BMI went from 31 to 22 which is perfect, her weight from 180 to 129, and her waist size was 37 and it is now 31. Then Dr. Oz surprised her by sending for her husband, who stepped out on stage while she was watching what she thought was a video of him still over in Iraq telling her how proud he was of her for making this wonderful change in her life. Well there were tears everywhere.

Today Dr. oz did KOGA, which is a combination of Kick Boxing and Yoga, a workout that you can burn 800-1000 calories in one hour. The workout by Jon Koga, presented by Leesa Osborn. So it was Dr. Oz and the Oz dancers from the studio audience.

Dr.Oz's 3 things to remember--Doctor's orders are; If your house was built before 1978 chances are it has lead paint, buy a Lead Check Test Kits
to see if your house is as safe as you think it is. Second, practice portion control, set your food for the day in individual portions, and never overeat again. And third most headaches are completely preventable, avoid headache triggers like hair bands that put stress on the scalp, instead use a head band to alleviate pressure on the area.
