Dr Oz Cancer Pain;

"Whatever the reason for pain, it should never be neglected because it speaks volumes. In particular, pain that lasts for more than two weeks, or intensifies over time, can signal something sinister is at work, such as cancer. Knowing what to pay attention to can convince you to go to the doctor sooner, when early diagnosis and treatment can do the most good."

Not all cancers cause pain, and the absence of pain doesn't rule out cancer. But pain is noteworthy, whether it is slight or strong. Cancer pain also depends on how much room there is for the tumor to expand. So if a tumor is hemmed in the brain, pain might be experienced sooner than tumors in the belly, where it has more space to grow and spread.

When a tumor is growing it can compress, irritate, block or destroy any tissue, tubes, ducts or blood vessels in the vicinity. Nearby nerves are stimulated and a flow of information travels along nerve pathways up to the brain where pain is perceived. The characteristics of cancer pain – whether it is dull, sharp, aching or burning – depend on the nerve pathway that is stimulated and how fast the signals are transmitted.

Dr. Oz's 5 Pains That Could be Cancer

1. Chest Pain; Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in both men and women. Although smoking greatly increases the risk, lung cancer can also occur in people who have never smoked, particularly women.

1st Deadliest Cancer - Lung Cancer & Symptoms: Pain in the chest, chronic cough, coughing up of blood, shortness of breath, wheezing, hoarseness and weight loss can be a sign of lung cancer.

2. Abdominal Pain; Pain in the abdomen can be caused by a number of illnesses including colon cancer, defined by tumors of the large intestines. people with colon cancer experience changes in bowel performance. Screening colonoscopy can visualize precancerous polyps that occupy the colon and doctors can remove them before they advance to cancer.

2nd Deadliest Cancer Colon Cancer & Symptoms: Abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, blood in stool, rectal bleeding and difficulty passing stool, change in stool consistency and weight loss can be a sign of colon cancer.

3. Pelvic Pain; The pelvic region contains some reproductive and urinary tract organs, such as the uterus, ovaries and bladder. Pelvic pain, cramping and bloating as part of the normal menstrual cycle, but it can also point to cancer of the ovaries. Problems with ovarian cancer is that pain usually appears late in the disease because the ovaries on each side of the uterus have a spacious cavity to grow in, and painful symptoms only appear when the tumors enlarge.

Third Deadliest Cancer Ovarian Cancer & Symptoms: Pelvic, abdominal or lower back pain, bladder pressure, changes in urinary bowel patterns, bloating, fullness and weight loss can be a sign of ovarian cancer.


4. Head Pain; The brain is contained in the skull, so when tumors invade there is no place for the brain to expand. The tumor impinges on the tissue and fluid inside of the brain is unable to drain naturally.

Fourth Deadliest Cancer Brain Cancer And Symptoms: Chronic early morning headache, or one that wakes you from sleep, that is also associated with nausea, vomiting, changes in sensation, vision, speech or balance, can be a sign of a brain tumor.

5. Bone Pain; Cancer can arise in bone or travel from another location in the body (metastasis). When cancer invades the dense matrix that makes bone hard, it weakens the structure and makes them more prone to fracture.

Most of us worry about getting older. Asking ourself will our health deteriorate? Will we become dependent – or even burdensome – to others? Ensuring wellness and vitality during your golden years starts with establishing a healthy lifestyle that will prevent future illnesses.

First, a quick anatomy lesson: Whether “youth” is defined as physical strength, appearance or the sharpness of one’s mental facilities, it all begins on a cellular level. Telomeres are located on the cell’s DNA and play a crucial role in the creation of new cells.

As we age and grow, new cells are created – and each and every one needs some of your DNA’s telomeres. When there’s none left, that’s when our DNA starts to fray causing many of the problems we associate with old age like frailty, impaired memory and weakness.

But what if you could add years to your life, tap into a fountain of youth and beat the agony that comes with age? To do just that, Dr. Oz is sharing 5 tips that will increase your overall health and maintain our telomeres so that cells can continue to reproduce.

1. and 2. Exercise
You knew it was coming – and in fact, it’s so important that it gets 2 of the 5 spaces on this list: one for weight training and one for aerobic exercise. While exercise might be something you dread, physical activity is more than a common-sense weight loss method. On the cellular level, exercise can elongate your telomeres.

A well-rounded fitness routine should include weight training and aerobic exercise 3 times a week. A simple way that you can test how old your muscles think you are is by doing push-ups. Click here for tips on proper push-up form and here for the YOU: Staying Young guide to optimal push-up performance.

3. Eat Colorful Fruits and Vegetables
Exercise goes hand in hand with eating right – and the more colorful the fruits and vegetables are that comprise your meals, the more effective they are at preventing free radicals from aging you.

Flavonoids and carotenoids are plant-based anti-oxidants that remove free radicals from our foods. Their colorful skins protect them from the sun’s ray that increase the release of the free radicals into food’s systems.

A “carotenoid fruit bowl” includes those with colorful skins like apples, oranges, grapes and apricots.

4. Stay Sleek: Eat Just a Little Less
In a recent study done at the University of Wisconsin it was discovered that calorie restriction, even in a minor sense, could reduce the risk of diabetes, cancer and heart disease. In the study, one group of monkeys ate as much as they wanted, whenever they wanted. The second group was fed 30% fewer calories every day. After 20 years, the evidence was clear: the monkeys on a restricted diet looked better and had less instances of diabetes, cancer and heart disease.

For a normal 2,000-calorie diet, 15% less is only 300 calories. That’s about a handful of tortilla chips! Eat consciously – when you are hungry and include plenty of colorful fruits and vegetables.

5. Be With People You Love
Emotional health is a key part of longevity. Staying in touch with the people that are dear to us boosts our immune system. Surround yourself with the ones you love will keep your heart and spirit young. If you don’t give your heart a reason to keep beating, it won’t.

Dr. Oz Diet Pills And Weight Loss

The truth about weight loss diet pill - They can raise your blood pressure so high you can have strokes. The truth about Diet Pill dangers - What works and what doesn't was the first segment of Dr. Oz today. Dr Oz has a secret to share with you!

Karen's Story and the truth about diet pills. Dr. Oz says that 60% of us are over weight or dangerously obese, and 15% of us do the quick fix with diet pills. There are 3 types of diet drugs - prescription, over the counter, and herbal supplements out there as choices for weight loss pills.

Diet pills work in several different ways, the curb your appetite, make you feel full, increase your metabolism, or keep your body from absorbing the fat we eat.

They are not all regulated and their not all safe. The FDA found 70 Diet Pills that were spiked with drugs.

Dr. oz says you can take diet drugs and they work, but to take them with caution because there are risks involved.

Karen took diet pills and experienced the extra energy immediately, and loved it right of the bat. Within a few days she was full of energy and losing a pound a day. On day 5 of taking these diet pills Karen was getting the feeling she was chosen for something, and the feeling like it was the end of the world, and it was her mission to tell everyone. On the seventh day her husband had to admit her to to a physiatric ward.

Karen's husband took the product to her doctor and he informed him she was taking multiple herbal stimulants, which he classified as legal amphetamines, that's like speed.

It took her 9 months to get herself back on track with her life - 2 years after taking the product Karen went Manic again, and 3 years later she went manic again, and a year after that it hit again. karen says because she decided to put that diet supplement in her mouth she opened a door and there's no going back. It altered the way her brain functioned properly, and the chance that had she not taken the product she wouldn't now be Bipolar, and have a lifelong mental condition.

The drug Karen took má huáng which is like Ephedra(Ephedra is of the market now)

Natural supplements Dr. Oz spoke about today were;

1. Bitter Orange - Bitter Orange has been used for many years in different parts of the world, it gives you energy, it reduces your appetite, with a similar action as Synephrine.

2. Hoodia - Hoodia is available in pill form, Liquid Hoodia, and even Hoodia Lollipops. Originally Hoodia was used by African leaders, tribesmen. It increases the amount of energy in the brain. Hoodia is so popular in the United States, more Hoodia has been sold in the U.S. last year than has ever been used in the African Country. Dr. Oz says it is impossible for these products to have exactly what they say are in them.

Dr. Caroline Opovian joined Dr. Oz clarifying the facts about Over The Counter products and their safety and effectiveness. She said the FDA does not regulate many over the counter products including the herbals.

Prescription Weight Loss pills such as Meridia is prescribed as appetite suppressant. Another type of prescription weight loss drug is a fat absorption inhibitor. Orlistat - Xenical is the only example of this type of treatment approved for use in the U.S. Xenical works by blocking about 30% of dietary fat from being absorbed. Xenical is now sold over-the-counter as Alli.

Orlistat (marketed as a prescription under the trade name Xenical by Roche or over-the-counter as Alli by GlaxoSmithKline), also known as tetrahydrolipstatin, is a drug designed to treat obesity. Its primary function is preventing the absorption of fats from the human diet, thereby reducing caloric intake. It is intended for use in conjunction with a physician-supervised reduced-calorie diet. Orlistat is the saturated derivative of lipstatin, a potent natural inhibitor of pancreatic lipases isolated from the bacterium Streptomyces toxytricini. However, due to simplicity and stability, orlistat rather than lipstatin was developed into an anti-obesity drug.

Orlistat also modestly reduces blood pressure, and appears to prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes, whether due to weight loss itself or to other effects; in a large randomized controlled trial, orlistat was found to reduce the incidence of diabetes by nearly 40% in obese people.

Meridia and Xenical are the only weight loss drugs approved for longer-term use in significantly obese people, although the safety and effectiveness have not been established for use beyond two years.

The Side Effects of Prescription Weight Loss Drugs
Most appetite suppressants are used as a short-term treatment for obese people. Not only do the drugs' effects tend to wear off after a few weeks, but they can also have some unpleasant side effects, including:

• Increased heart rate
• Increased blood pressure
• Sweating
• Constipation
• Insomnia (inability to sleep or stay asleep)
• Excessive thirst
• Lightheadedness
• Drowsiness
• Stuffy nose
• Headache
• Anxiety
• Dry mouth

Dr Oz Over-the-Counter Drugs

Orlistat is the only product approved by the FDA that influences how fat is absorbed by our bodies. It coats the intestinal system stopping the enzymes that normally digest fat, enabling our bodies to absorb it. If you don’t absorb fat, you can’t absorb calories.

To avoid this complication, you have to keep your total fat intake to 30% or less (which is actually how the medication does its job) and try taking psyllium husks or other high-fiber supplements to aid the digestive process. Orlistat also inhibits your body’s ability to absorb important vitamins such as A, D and E, so it’s important to take a multivitamin in conjunction with it.


Diet Pills Can Work - Take With Caution says Dr. Oz. You can jump start your weight loss program with two cups of black coffee - no cream or sugar.

Dr. Oz Snoring And Sleep Apnea

Could you die in your sleep - Could you be suffocating in your sleep?

Brian and Jennifer joined Dr. Oz today, and they both suffer from Sleep Apnea. Dr. Oz had testing done on both of them and stated that Brian has the severest form of sleep apnea he has ever seen. 67 times an hour Brian suffocates, and Jennifer was not as bad.

Untreated sleep apnea can:

1. Increase the risk for high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, obesity, and diabetes
2. Increase the risk for or worsen heart failure
3. Make irregular heartbeats more likely
4. Increase the chance of having work-related or driving accidents
5. Lifestyle changes, mouthpieces, surgery, and/or breathing devices can successfully treat sleep apnea in many people.

What Are The Signs and Symptoms of Sleep Apnea?

1. Daytime sleepiness
2. Loud snoring at night
3. Interruptions in nighttime breathing
4. Abrupt awakenings followed by shortness of breath
5. Acid reflux
6. Frequent nighttime urination
7. Headaches
8. Memory loss
9. Large neck size (over 17 inches for men and 16 for women)

3 Step Plan For Sleep Apnea

Step 1: Get enough sleep. A tired brain functions poorly and is less and less able to respond to low oxygen at night, which means your apneas will become more frequent and prolonged. Getting adequate sleep consistently is critical to helping your brain regulate your oxygen intake. Follow these tips for sound sleep hygiene.

Step 2: Lose excess weight - Losing 10% of your body weight will improve sleep apnea by a third. For most average-sized women you only have 10 pounds to lose to achieve that relief. Cigarette smoke inflames the airways, narrowing them and making it more difficult for enough oxygen to get in.

Step 3: Treat nasal congestion. Over-the-counter nasal sprays, neti pots, saline drops, and decongestants can help reduce nasal inflammation and open up your airway.

I stopped eating mints years ago from restaurants when someone told me about urine being on mints. Stick with the individually wrapped mints.

Breast Cancer in Men - high estrogen and low testosterone levels play a major role in male breast cancer because men who have abnormalities involving the testicles and problems with fertility are at higher risk for the disease. Men are not exempt from inheriting (or passing down to their children) breast cancer susceptibility genes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2, a factor in many breast cancers that run in families.
What Raises the Risk in Men? - Know The Symptoms And How To Look For Lumps In Men

Robert told his story on his fight and surviving Breast Cancer. He found a lump under his left nipple and never mentioned it to his Doctor until 2 years later. He had a sonogram, mammogram, and needle biopsy and was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, and had to undergo a radical mastectomy, chemotherapy and 36 treatments of radiation, and is now cancer free. He went on to say no believes men can get breast cancer.

Dr. Oz described what a lump would feel like by taking a chickpea and putting it under a sponge. When you press down on the sponge and feel the pea, it is what it a lump should feel like upon a self breast examination.

Risk Factors For Men's Breast Cancer

1. Klinefelter’s Syndrome – A genetic disease where men have an extra X (female) chromosome causes higher estrogen and lower testosterone levels.
2. Liver Cirrhosis– Since the liver is involved with the metabolism of sex hormones, damage (via infection or alcohol use) increases estrogen levels.
3. Overweight – Fat cells convert male sex hormones into estrogen so being overweight and inactive can increase estrogen.
4. Genetic – Men who have female family members who have the breast cancer gene, particularly if they test postive for BRCA or other breast cancer susceptibility genes, are at much higher risk.
5. Radiation exposure –Radiation treatments received for other conditions can produce changes to breast cells if the rays are required to go through the chest.

What Men Should Look For
Lumps, bumps or swelling in the breast or underarms
Nipple retraction, puckering or indentation
Bleeding or discharge from the nipple
Redness, scaling or itching of the skin


Breast cancer in men is diagnosed using mammography, ultrasound and biopsy. Treatments include surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy.

3 Generations Of Fat

Nicole 27, Adele 50 and Maddie 71 are 3 generations of a dangerously obese family. Their meals on a daily basis usually consisted 2124 calories and 103 grams of fat per serving. Kate Geagan Showed them The Family Style Eating Program. She removed most of the fat from their favourite family recipes by removing most of the butter, and by pounding out chicken it would seem like more meat. One slice of their Lasagna worked out two 1660 calories, Kate altered it and now it is only 500 calories per serving of lasagna.

THE WARNING SIGNS OF OSTEOPOROSIS

Dr. Oz talked about bone loss and Osteoporosis in this segment of the show. Bone loss begins in your twenties and progresses on throughout your life, and half the women by the age fifty already have some element of Osteoporosis. In the video Dr. Oz explains why we lose 1 to 5 percent bone mass every year after were in our twenties.

The mortality rate for a broken hip is 20 percent. Dr. Oz said that one in five people who suffer from a broken hip are not going to recover. Surgery can fix the hip, but not the bones. He went to talk about your height, weight, wrist size (our wrist is less than 6 inches, you could be at risk) as a cut of point for Osteoporosis. Smoking, alcohol - drinking in younger women, and depression.

Dr. Oz insisted on not taking calcium by itself, and said to take Calcium With Vitamin D, and Vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 is the main vitamin that is responsible together with Vitamin D with building up bone strength and found in fermented foods and beverages called Kefir.

Kefir is a type of yogurt that has been fermented, this can not be found in supplements, it is only through food. You can make your own Kefir with a Kefir Culture Starter kit

Solutions for Osteoporosis
Calcium – you MUST take 1000mg a day with vitamin D or milk

Dr. Gary Small joins Dr. Oz today on "Do You Know The Warning Signs for Alzheimer's", and The 3 ways to reduce the risks. Dr. Oz says we are either going to get it, or know someone who has Alzheimer's. If you are over the age of forty you may have thought about Alzheimer's, and do I have it, or am I going to get it. It is a question that haunts us because it's a disease that has a long slow death sentence. Day by day, year by year it robs us of our ability to function.

Dr. oz answers questions today for people who are afraid they already have this disorder, and reveal the top warning signs, plus ways to reduce the risks.

As we age we expect a certain amount of memory loss, maybe even confusion. But sometimes it doesn't end there, and you struggle with simple situations that used to come naturally like finding your keys or handling money, and even getting lost in your own neighbourhood. Are these the first signs of the disease that steals your mind.

A new case of Alzheimer's is diagnosed every 7 seconds, Alzheimer's is progressive and irreversible.

Know The Signs Of Alzheimer's

Seniors Moments Or Alzheimer's - Dr. Small says everyone has memory slips, Alzheimer's is rarer but it's more serious. It's when those memory slips begins to interfere with everyday life. By the age of 65, 5 percent of us are at risk for Alzheimer's. Dr. Small says the sooner we understand and recognize the warning signs and the sooner we get help, the sooner we are going to feel better. There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease, but if someone is having a problem, by going to the doctor it may turn out to be something else. It could be depression, it could be a medication problem.

Dr. Small said he has seen people come in that are moderate to severely impaired with Alzheimer's, and if they had come to him earlier he could of helped them much more. Dr. oz and Dr. Small compared a normal brain to an Alzheimer's brain, there was a major difference, one being that the brain was shrunken in comparison to the brain of someone that didn't have Alzheimer's.

1. Memory Loss - The first warning sign for Alzheimer's. When memory loss begins to disrupt your life.
Get The Dr. Oz Alzheimer's Memory Test. It's a very simple test to take to see if you may have a problem.

2. Genetics - A small percentage of people actually have a genetic cause that is 100 percent causing the disease. It is in families with early onset Alzheimer's, starts in their fifties, and about 50 percent of the relatives are affected.

3. Health Problems - High Cholesterol and High blood pressure are risk factors for Alzheimer's, but they are risk factors you can control.

4. New Problems With Words - When it becomes for frequent.

5. Misplacing Things - Dr. Oz and Dr. Small says this usually means something more profound is going on, that something more serious may be going on.

The Three Step Plan For Alzheimer's

1. Exercise everyday, a ten minute walk or any kind of aerobic conditioning will help lower your risk for Alzheimer's.

2. Workout your mind as well as your body - do jumping jacks for the brain. Workout your right brain with jigsaw puzzles, your left brain with crossword puzzles. Train, but don't strain your brain.

3. Take care of your diet, eat a brain healthy diet, which is similar to a heart smart diet. Dr Oz said dancing is great for the brain, it is exercise for the body, plus mental activity.

Dr. oz says eat leafy greens because they have a lot of B Vitamins in them. Olive oil for the Omega 9 fats. Dr. Oz says the number one thing that helps in the reduction of Alzheimer's is Curry. In India the incidence of Alzheimer's seems to be less than the U.S. The Curcumin in curry seems to reduce some of the changes that occur in the Alzheimer's brain. Dr. oz recommends two servings of curry foods a week. Dr. Small says that people who ate Indian food at least once a week performed better on their Memory Quiz


Dr. Oz showed the story of Laurie who was born and raised in North Dakota along with her sister and four brothers. Laurie who is only fifty years old has Alzheimer's, and so does most of her family. Her father was diagnosed in 1977 with Alzheimer's at the age of 41. Laurie's says her Grandmother probably died from the same disease in her fifties. Soon Laurie's Father's brother and sister were also diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

When Laurie grew up and married and started a family of her own, she found out that two of her brothers were diagnosed with Alzheimer's, that's when she realized she had trouble too, forgetting things more and more. Dr.'s suggested Genetic testing for the family, which they did. Laurie found out that her 4 brothers and herself have the gene mutation for early onset Alzheimer's. This means 100 percent they have the disease. Only Laurie's sister Carla escaped the curse of Alzheimer's. Laurie's biggest fear is has she passed this disease along to her children.

Dr. Anitha Nair joined Dr. Oz today to help a couple Amy and Brian with their infertility problems. After 7 years of being together, 18 months ago they decided they wanted to start a family, but hings just didn't turn out that way. Dr. Oz had testing done previous to the airing of the show and it turns out Brians semen analysis turned out to be abnormal.

Dr. Nair explained the options available to people for the problem of not being able to conceive.

1. Ovulation Induction is tried first.
2. Artificial Insemination
3. In vitro Fertilization
