Dr Oz, Sheryl Crow, Dr Kristi Funk and Dennis Slamon; Dr Oz Sony Dash Daily Health Tips - “Get Up and Go!” The #1 secret to starting your day; Intense Itchy Infestation: Lice; Blind Taste with Dave Lieberman and Fettuccine Alfredo.

In 2006 just when Sheryl Crow was at the top of her game was told she had breast cancer just 5 days after her 44th birthday and changed every aspect of her life. Her tumour was detected early through a routine mammogram, and fought the cancer with a lumpectomy and radiation therapy. Within a year Sheryl was cancer free which led her to be an advocate for routine mammograms.

Sheryl is a breast cancer survivor who celebrates everyday of her life with her son Wyatt.

Sheryl talks with Dr Oz about you never expect to hear the word cancer especially when your healthy, and how her cancer diagnosis led her to be a spokes person for cancer awareness to tell women know your family history. Sheryl does not have a family history of breast cancer which led Dr Oz to say that only 20% of women who get breast cancer have a family history.

Dr Kristi Funk helped Sheryl through the whole ordeal and says finding breast cancer at a curable stage - stage 0 or 1. These two types of cancers are 98% curable. The best way to find an early stage cancer is through mammography. Dr Funk went on to say Mammograms have proven time and time again to decrease the death rate from breast cancer - a 30% decrease in death. Mammograms can be the difference in life or death.

Dr Oz had a crew of people in the audience wearing pink T shirts who are all fellow survivors. Sheryl told Dr oz she is in an airport almost everyday and each time someone finds her to share their story of themselves or someone they know and breast cancer.

Dr Oz asks Sheryl "How Did You Beat Breast Cancer", she said she did exactly what her Dr told her to do, have the lumpectomy, the radiation treatment, Sheryl also did acupuncture, drank the stinky teas, a long time meditator.

Dennis Slamon "Stand Up To Cancer" is as Sheryl says one of the medical hero's in the medical profession that believes that one size doesn't fit all when it comes to breast cancer. he explains the molecular biology that lets them look at the molecular makeup of breast cancers, and that tailored therapy works and that's what makes the difference in the outcome of breast cancer.

Dr Oz asked Sheryl what is it that she does differently now in her life, Sheryl says once being diagnosed with breast cancer you look at life differently from that moment on. Learning to say no might be the most important thing you may have to learn to do.

Studio audience breast cancer survivors ask Sheryl how being diagnosed with cancer and how it has affected her song writing, and her answer was now her it has made her sense of urgency about what she writes about and everything in her life.


After being diagnosed with cancer in 2006, country rock singer Sheryl Crow is now out of the danger zone and cancer free. Recently, the 47-year-old single-mom shared her post-cancer diet and exercise tips with Dr Oz.

Foods
Dr. Oz says it over and over again: the foods you eat have incredible power to heal – or harm – your body. Below are the top superfoods that have been shown to protect you from breast cancer. Incorporate them as much as you can into your daily diet.

1. Green tea 3 cups of green tea a day can prevent breast cancer by as much as 50% because of its high EGCG antioxidant content. Squeeze a little lemon into your cup and increase the antioxidant power 10 times.

2. Garlic A good immunity booster that also has anti-inflammatory properties.

3. Olive oil, Borage Oils And Flaxseed Oil This monounsaturated fat can help suppress tumor activity.

4. Tumeric This spice known for its beautiful orange color also helps decrease estrogen. As little as 1 teaspoon a day has been shown to reduce tumor growth. Get your daily dose by mixing it into salad dressings, rice or vegetable dishes.

5. Cruciferous vegetables Leafy greens like kale, bok choy and Swiss chard bind estrogen in your GI tract and reduce tumor stimulation. They also detoxify the liver, so you don’t have toxins flowing through your body that can irritate cells and turn them into early cancers.

6. Seaweed - Kelp High in iodine, this is another estrogen reducer.

Dr Oz 3 Types Of Lice Infestations

Dr oz talks about 3 kinds of lice because there are 3 types of lice - Some are in your hair, some are on your body and some are found in the pubic area.

The only type of lice than can transmit disease is lice that is found on the body that feed on your blood.

In severe cases lice from the pubic area can infect a child's eyelashes, they get these from the parents beds and they get under the eyelashes because the eyelash hairs are similar to public hair.

Head lice spread by direct contact through sharing caps, clothing, sharing brushes and combs, headphones, blankets.

Dr Oz says you can be a nit picker, but he says take some olive oil and rub it into the hair to make it easier to get the nits out.

Dr Oz Waking Up During Surgery

Awake During Surgery: Shocking Look Into Surgery Mistakes
Shocking stories of anesthetized patients who become conscious but remain paralyzed during surgery. Dr. Oz revisits some of his most memorable intervention guests. Fountain of Youth game. Athlete’s Foot: the Funky Foot Fungus. Contestants compete to “Drench the Doc.”

Dr Panchali Dhar(Author: Before The Scalpel) joined Dr Oz today to talk about reasons anesthesia awareness, and what you need to know before you go under the knife. Kelly and Jeanette shared with Dr Oz and the world their experiences of being wide awake during surgery.

The horror of feeling everything, the smells, the operating team talking and they couldn't open their eyes, move any part of their body, or scream to say "I am awake."

Kelly was hit in a head on vehicle accident and required multiple surgery's and could hear everything in the operating room. First she thought she was dreaming but when she heard them talking about her son being in the vehicle and what they needed to do she became well aware that she was going to be awake for everything.

Jeanette was going in for minor surgery, or so she thought it was going to be a minor thing. Jeanette could feel them cutting her flesh across her stomach, smell her flesh burning as they were cauterizing her flesh, but she was unable to let anyone know, she said it's like being frozen inside herself.

She had severe chest pain, pain in her arm and head. She was crying but there were no tears, and next she could hear the anesthesiologist's stool slide from behind her head telling the team to stop. She thought finally they know she is awake, but no, he just got her vitals levelled and told the team to resume with the surgery.

She said there was no way she was going to die and no one know that she was awake through the whole surgery, she focused on thoughts of her children through the whole ordeal. Jeanette's surgery lasted 2 hours and 47 minutes and the thing about this being awake through the whole ordeal, it turned out she didn't need the surgery after all.

She confronted the Anesthesiologist and told him she heard everything they said about her breasts, and left the Anesthesiologist is amazement.

Risk factors for anesthesia awareness include:

1. Light anesthesia – As you might expect the most common reason for anesthesia awareness is inadequate anesthesia. Still, sometimes it is a necessary safety measure, particularly when operating on patients requiring cesarean sections, heart surgery and for certain operations performed on critically ill or trauma patients.

2. Personal history of awareness – Patients are more likely to experience anesthesia awareness if they have had it once before.

3. Machine malfunction or misuse – Can affect the amount of anesthesia delivered.
Human error – Administering the wrong dose or wrong drug.

4. Natural red hair – Redheads may be genetically programmed to need more anesthesia.

5. Family history – May point to genetic factors that influence metabolism of anesthetic agents.

6. Type of anesthesia – Some agents used to maintain anesthesia are short acting.

Dr Mike Roizen did a simulation of what an Anesthesiologist does to prepare someone for surgery. Apparently Dr Roizen was an Anesthesiologist at one time.

Dr Mike says the 3 steps you need to make sure of so your not awake during surgery are;

1. Say what medications your on to your Anesthesiologist because some of them affect how much Anesthesia they have to give.

2. If you have a family history of awareness - so if anyone in your family were aware or you were.

2. Always ask what monitoring are you using if you have any concern of this. Ask if they are using a brain level monitoring.

3 types of anesthesia: local, regional and general - General anesthesia keep patients still and pain-free, and keep them from being aware of what happens throughout their procedure and from recalling it later on.

As Dr Roizen showed us, anesthesiologists use a combination of intravenous drugs and inhaled gases to block muscle activity, pain signals and memory of the event. The exact cocktail depends on how long the patient needs to be asleep, the type of procedure being performed and the overall condition of the patient including their physical attributes and health.


Once the anesthesia is administered electronic devices continually monitor and regulate breathing, oxygen, carbon dioxide, heart rate, body temperature and blood pressure. All the while, the anesthesiologist can make adjustments as needed.

An active brain however is particularly difficult to monitor. Doctors might suspect that consciousness isn't fully dampened when they see signs such as a elevated blood pressure or heart rate, or muscle movement. But certain drugs used to achieve anesthesia may mask these changes.

Some hospitals use the bispectral index (BIS) brain-sensing monitor, similar to an electroencephalogram (EEG), to measure a patient's level of consciousness. But not all hospitals use this monitoring method and some doctors dispute their value in signaling or preventing anesthesia awareness.

Dr Oz Updates; Shea - Willie - Annette - Tasha

Shea who was addicted to sleeping pills returned to Dr Oz today. Shea is clean now, and told us the first week was hard in treatment, no pills and no sleeping. After the first week she started sleeping and now she writes down her worries through the day so she doesn't think about them at night.


Willie, Tasha, and Annette, An Obese Family deep in crisis rejoined Dr. Oz today to share their weight loss success.

They had just lost family member Everett who was over 500 pounds. Dr. Oz took these 3 with him to the operating room to watch open heart surgery done live on Mr. Greene, so they could see what happens with excess fat on the body. They were left in total awe at what they saw. Dr. Oz wanted to make them aware that they could end up on the table like Mr. Greene who needed quadruple bypass surgery.

Is Your Dietary Supplement Safe? What's really in your supplements herbal pills, diet drugs, Dr oz exposes the shocking illegal ingredients, Amphetamines, tranquilizers and antidepressants that can literally stop your heart. What's safe and what's not. Stop before you pop that pill.

Dr Oz Do The Supplements You Take Work

Dr Oz spent the last several weeks having independent labs analyze supplements taken to lose weight, relieve pain or just stay healthy. He wanted answers to 3 key questions, what's in these supplements, are you getting what you pay for, could you be putting your life at risk.

1. Supplement Secret Are You Getting What You Pay For; "Dietary supplements they seem almost too good to be true. Their all natural, you don't need a prescription and all guarantee to improve your health and Americans believe in them. More than half the adults in this country reach for one or more of 75,000 or more dietary supplements on the market today, do you really know what your paying for."

"The government closely monitors the pharmaceutical industry but it doesn't require testing of supplements before they can be sold to the public or keep a close eye on how their marketed. Dr Oz says that could explain why supplements may cause an estimated 50 thousand adverse reactions every year, some dangerous even life threatening.

Dr Oz had 3 common supplements analyzed...Green Tea, weight loss and Chondroitin that helps relieve pain and help rebuild cartilage. He bought 3 samples of each supplement, some online and then he went undercover to buy the rest in a nationwide vitamin store.

The first supplement analyzed promised to help you lose weight, available anywhere. The FDA does not require testing require testing on supplements before they are sold. The FDA only investigates products when there's a bad reaction like Amy and Jennifer had on the show. When there is a reaction that is when the FDA steps in.

Two of Dr Oz's weight loss products studies turned out fine, the 3rd product called Pai You Guo tested positive for Sibutramine. This product was recalled in November 2009, and Dr oz says he did not have trouble finding this product online.

Dr Oz contacted the American Herbal Product Association and they say any product that doesn't declare drug ingredients is illegal, they have to tell you what's in the product, and every dietary supplement manufacturer has an obligation to make sure it's products are safe.

Supplement Secret # 2 is Potency Problems; Chondroitin products were analyzed. Chondroitin is a chemical found in the cartilage of our joints. People take the supplement Chondroitin with the belief it will help. Dr Tod Cooperman answers Dr Oz's question "How often is it that supplements that your testing actually have in them the amount of product they claim to be present?"

Dr Cooperman's answer was "Looking at over 2000 products they found that one out of four, one quarter of the products don't meet quality standards. The most common reason for that is that they have less ingredient than is claimed on the label."

Out of 3 Chondroitin Supplements, the first sample had 2.7% of the Chondroitin amount it promised. The second sample had 68% and the 3rd sample had 87%.

The 3rd Supplement secret are impurities in products. Dr oz had labs analyze 3 variants of green tea extract which is used to lose belly fat and weight loss. Two of the 3 samples had fewer catechins on the label then claimed. One sample added a lot of caffeine to it, your getting a cup of coffee instead of a pill.

Dr Cooperman talked about the impurities such as lead content in green tea extracts. He said green Tea is a herb and can actually contain - absorb lead from the environment, other heavy metals you don't want to get from the supplement you are taking. They found in one of the products that requires you to take 12 pills per day, in just two pills you would exceed the amount of lead that is permitted in California without a warning label.

Dr Oz says to have the real product and drink Green tea instead of the Green Tea Extract.

Dr Oz Acid Test

Here's Dr Oz test we can all take at home, Mamie joined Dr Oz in this simple test to find out if a supplement can be absorbed properly.

Take vinegar and heat it up to 98 degrees(body temp) to mimic the acid in your stomach. Dr Oz said drop in the pill, if it doesn't dissolve in half an hour 30 minutes or so it's not going to dissolve in your stomach either, unless their designed not to dissolve which some of them are enteric coated and slow release, but most herbal supplements are not in that category.

Dr Oz Supplement Tips

Dr Oz when buying herbal supplements;

1. Look For Single Ingredient Supplements

2. Research online - Sign up for the Consumer Lab free newsletter at Consumer Labs for information on new supplements as well as recalls and problems their seeing with other supplements that are already on the market. Look for the USP seal on the side of the bottle. Visit the national Library Of Medicine they have a dietary database.

3. Beware Of Trendy Supplements - They don't do what they claim to do such as Hoodia for example says Dr Cooperman. When a new product becomes available many many times you'll find the majority of products are poor quality. Manufacturers are rushing to get it on the market and the demand will outstrip the supply, and manufacturers are buying low quality ingredients sometimes.

Dr Oz Addicted to Prescription Drugs

Stacey is addicted to pain pills, Dr Oz calls interventionist Brad Lamm to action, along with Rebecca Flood.

Dr Oz starts of this segment of the show talking about celebrities losing their life to prescription pills. Stacey addicted to prescription pills has been married 12 years and has two children. Stacey battles an addiction to prescription pain killers. Her addiction to pain meds started around when she was around 18 or 19 years old. Stacey has pancreatitis, which is incredibly painful. Being diagnosed she was put on very heavy narcotics in the hospital and when she was discharged she was prescribed those narcotics, and she liked how they made her feel and slowly over time became addicted to pain killers.

Dr Oz told Stacey when people give up on themselves, and as Stacey is crying she tells her family she feels like she has said she is sorry too many times, and she wants to say the best way she can show she is truly sorry is by building a history of success, longer than her history of failure.

Dr Oz introduced Stacey to Rebecca Flood a mother of 6 who has been in recovery for 34 years. She is Executive Director for New Direction For Women. A treatment center that rehabilitates mothers with their children.

Rebecca says the greatest challenge that Stacey will face trying to best this is the relationships that need to heal, and one of the greatest reasons why we bring children into treatment with their mom's is so that relationships can begin to heal. And that relationship that begins to heal can continue healing as they leave treatment and rejoin their loved ones. Rebecca's program will be taking Stacey kids with her.

The kids were waiting outside for her and they are going to the airport and head for the treatment program. Stacey says "I'm there" and willing to do it, this is the last time

Stacey takes pain killers everyday just to get up and start functioning, her addiction was so bad she took pain killers all through her pregnancies and both her son and daughter were born addicted to narcotics. Because of that they had to go to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for weeks. Stacey says no one that innocent deserves to be born into that life.

Stacey has tried in the past to kick this addiction to pain pills, the withdrawals are horrible, she has night sweats, gets chills, she can't hold still and goes right back to the drugs. Stacey admits she cannot kick the habit of prescription pain medications by herself.

On stage today with Stacey was her husband Todd and mother Luanne, desperate for help. Dr Oz called in Core Team Oz Member Brad Lamm. Stacey said you see in the news all the tim Michael Jackson, a lot of celebrities that abuse prescription narcotics.

Brad Lamm says the first step is action which is what Stacey is doing today, reaching out and admitting she can't do it alone. Stacey's mom spoke and said her addiction has brought sadness, intense pain and anger. The family has gone from sorrow and sadness to frustration and anger. They wore out from the drama of all the experiences this addiction has caused.

Wendy had a question for Dr Oz - "When we get older why is it so much easier for men to lose weight then women". Dr Oz Answer; "When women go through menopause the ovaries stop making estrogen and also stop making testosterone. If you don't have testosterone you don't make muscle and without muscle you have that metabolic furnace that is normally chewing the calories, it's not there anymore. Muscle burns calories a dozen times more than fat when your actually using it.

Dr Oz 3 Ways Your Spouse Is Making You Sick

Dr Oz Show Friday, April 23 - Dr Oz 3 Ways Your Spouse Is Making You Sick; Spouses Annoying Habits Taking Years Of Your Life; Matty's Skinny Soup; Psoriasis and Eczema

Fatal Attraction: 3 Secret Ways Your Spouse Is Destroying Your Health. Snoring, Nagging may be taking years of your life.

Is Your Spouse Making You Sick; Learn the surprising ways your spouse may be destroying your health and taking years off your life! Three Generation Weight Loss Challenge update. Psoriasis: When skin turns to scales.

Dr Oz Is Your Spouse Making You Sick

1. The Secret Sex Allergy - John and Tanya; Tanya is allergic to John's semen. Dr Resnick says one in 40,000 women can suffer from a seminal protein allergy, which means that a protein inside their spouse’s semen stimulates an anaphylactic reaction when it meets uterine immune cells. Swelling, itching, burning, and excruciating pain, this allergy often goes undiagnosed because women, and their gynecologists, incorrectly attribute it to a yeast infection or sexually transmitted disease.

1. Itching
2. Irritation
3. Swelling
4. Pain
5. Burning
6. A rash
7. Hives
8. Difficulty breathing

Dr Ashton recommends to use condoms to avoid being exposed to the allergens in your husband’s semen. For fertility options allergists can help you undergo a slow desensitization program to help your body not react to your partner’s sperm. Sperm can also be washed before intrauterine insemination. Or, in extreme cases, in vitro fertilization skirts the problem altogether by introducing the sperm to the egg outside of your body.

There is also another condition similar to this called Lichen Sclerosus. This is another condition doctors pass off as a yeast infection. Clobetasol cream 0.05 % is usually used to treat Lichen Sclerosus but does not cure it. As with a seminal protein allergy (allergic to semen), Lichen Sclerosus there is no known cure.

2. For Jeff and Sandy it was “emotional poisoning” - mirroring negativity. Emotional poisoning only happens to women, not men. Jeff was diagnosed with a chronic Lung disease, and lost his job, and things seem to be going down hill. Sandy is mirroring Jeff's stress and anxiety. If he is upset she becomes upset. Dr Ashton recommends seeking help outside the family.

3. Third Hand Smoke - This was explained that particles get on your clothing and hair, and are transferred to you children when you hold them. These carcinogen's are tiny and inhaled.

DR Oz Number One Sudden Killer In Children Cardiac Arrest

Thursday on Dr. Oz The Number One Sudden Death Killer In Children, Sudden Cardiac Arrest.
What's causing these kids to die, learn the warning signs of a hidden condition. You could save your child’s life.

Sudden Death In Children; Today Dr. Oz examines sudden death in children with Discovery Health’s Dr. G. and Dr Asif Ali. A woman addicted to tech gadgets kick starts a 28-day technology detox. The Most Dangerous Bite in America. “Eat Away the Years” game.

Dr Oz says today that if you have children in your life he is putting you on high alert. The number one sudden killer in children, and that killer is cardiac arrest, and it's almost always fatal. Protect your child and know the facts.

One minute your child is the picture of health running around full of energy, then suddenly her heart simply stops beating. In a matter of moments her young life ends far too soon. The cause "Sudden Cardiac Arrest" - When the heart abruptly shuts down, failing to pump blood to the brain and other vital organs.

In most cases of cardiac arrest there are no warning signs or symptoms making this the number one cause of death in America's children.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest is not the same as a Heart Attack, it's the outcome of an underlying, and undiagnosed heart condition. There are over a dozen heart disorders that can cause cardiac arrest if not properly treated. The outcome is almost always deadly. Cardiac arrest strikes 7000 children every year, and only 5% survive.

It is only preventable if you know your child's heart condition. Dr G Medical examiner says when somebody dies suddenly and unexpectedly in this age group, the heart is often the main culprit. With kids were not expecting them to die, and this group that dies suddenly and unexpectedly, these are not kids with chronic conditions they are walking around healthy, playing, swimming and the next minute their dead.

Dr G says the top cause for these kids sudden deaths are an enlarged heart, sometimes an arrhythmic problem - electrical problem which is also genetic.

laura and Luther's daughter Sara was full of life and 12 years old, and they lost their daughter 3 weeks shy of her 13th birthday. It's been 5 years since they lost Sara, but they remember the day like it was yesterday, Sara was taking a junior life guard class, and asked her mom if she could stay at a water park and play. At 10:30 that morning Sara's friend called her and said something's wrong with Sara, she was climbing the water slide and just collapsed, her eyes are open but she can't hear me.

Laura rushed to the water park to find the EMS performing CPR on Sara. When they got to the hospital Sara was rushed to the trauma room. They were using the paddles shocking her. Laura and Luther said to see your 12 year old daughter fighting for her life, and the doctor's trying everything they could, they told them to tell her goodbye, she wasn't going to make it.

The doctor told laura and Luther Sara had suffered a cardiac arrest. Luther said he was on his knees asking them not to stop working on her. In her room they keep a locket of her hair and her bathing suit in her top drawer. How can a child be walking around with a silent killer.

Dr Oz Symptoms Of Cardiac Arrest

Thinking back Laura said that when Sara played a kick ball league she would say Mom my chest hurts, and I have this tightness, shortness of breath when I run. She took her to the doctor and the doctor just blew her off, and didn't send them anywhere else and that was it.

Dr Asif Ali talked with Dr Oz about a ground breaking study on 6th graders. The study was shocking they found by doing a history, physical exam, EKG which looks at the electrical connection of the heart, and a cardiogram which looks at the images of the heart and 7 0f those kids had an underlying cardiac condition, and two required surgical intervention.

Dr Asif Ali says parents need to be proactive, know what sudden cardiac death is, you need to know what your risk factors are for sudden cardiac death and especially your family history. Next you need to be aware, be aware of the symptoms

1. Shortness of breath
2. Fatigue
3. Palpitations
4. Chest Pain

Make sure there are AED's in your schools, they have a proven track record to save lives. Last week two kids were saved in Houston at two different schools with AED's thanks to Bill 7 which requires AED's in all elementary, middle schools and high schools.

Dr Oz Save A Life Defibrillator Demonstration

In the video Dr Oz explains an AED automatic external defibrillator. He says when someone suddenly collapses their heart becomes like a bag of worms and they are out within 3 to 5 seconds. When this happens you need to move very quickly to defibrillate them.

Whe someone goes down immediately their brain is starting to die. You about the box and get the machine and two little patches. You get these patches on the individual, ( Life Defibrillator machine walks you through all the steps automatically). When you open the Defibrillator box it automatically calls 911, but Dr Oz says you need to look directly at someone and tell them to do it also.

The patches show you exactly where to put them on someone's chest, once the patches are you simply push the button and it will automatically look for and analyze for a heart beat and speak to you and tell you what to do and what not to do.

If the person is dying it will tell you it is charging and to stand clear and to press the shock button, and the voice will tell you shock delivered and you have just saved a life. I never realized how simple and quick the Life Defibrillator was, and how quick it is all done in less than one minute. It is quite expensive to buy an AED automatic external defibrillator, but when you look at it as the most important thing to have in your home, and it could save the one you love, the cost is meaningless.

Dr Oz America's Deadliest Bites

In this segment Dr Oz reveals the deadliest bite, he has 3 different boxes and Leanna gets to look and see what is under each of them to reveal a dangerous critter. So if you have a phobia to bugs, don't watch the Dr Oz video.

1 out of the 3 gives the deadliest bite. Under box number one was a black sider with red dots on it's back, a Black widow spider. Under box number two was another spider, it was brown, called a Brown recluse spider. Under the third box was a nasty looking Tarantula. As far as I am concerned they are all nasty and deadly because I would die instantly if one was crawling on me.

Dr Oz asked Leanna which one she thought was the most deadliest spider, she chose the Brown recluse spider, but it is the Black Widow Spider is America's deadliest bite of all.

The Black widow spider is found in every state except Alaska. The venom of a black widow, the is 15 times more potent than a rattlesnake. When biten by a Black widow the venom attacks the nervous system and literally destroys you.

Dr Michael Raupp explains the spiders:

Spider Bite

The Black Widow has the markings of a red hour glass on her back, and if biten by a black widow spider the symptoms are - when they are first biten, they don't even know they have been biten. It may feel like a pin prick, but within twenty minutes to an hour your going to feel an intense pain in the spot of the bite. The chest muscles you can get constriction of breathing, a lot of chest pain, and strange contortions of the face muscles, because the venom of the black widow is a neurotoxin.

How To Get Rid Of Black Widow Spiders And Brown Recluse Spiders

Spider bites are different from other insect bites because spiders have fangs. Dr Raupp takes Rosie the tarantula out of the case and holds her up for all to see, and showed us her nice shiny fangs. Nasty!

Dr Raupp says if he found a black widow in his mail box, in his home or garage he would suck it up with the vacuum cleaner, put on some gloves and probably squash it. I would just step on it 52 times to make sure it was dead, never mind the vacuum cleaner and the gloves.

To keep these babies out of your house use weather stripping, caulking, reduce clutter inside and outside of the home. Move brush piles and woodpiles back from the house. Put on gloves and a long sleeve shirt and clean out the clutter in that room where you through everything.

Brown Recluse Spider Bite: In extreme cases, the poisonous venom of a brown recluse bite produces nasty effects. First, the flesh around a bite starts to rot within 12 to 24 hours. The wound turns into a multi-color lesion that can last for up to three weeks. Theoretically, people can die from the venom. But fatal bites are considered highly unlikely, and more than 90 percent of recluse bites heal without complications, though bites can leave permanent scars.

But in the vast majority of cases, spider bite victims develop a negligible wound or show no symptoms whatsoever.

Dr Oz also talked about what flea bites(spot of 5 or six bites together), bedbug bites look like (a line of 3 bites - breakfast lunch and supper), and to make a baking soda paste for mosquito bites.

Dr. Oz poses questions for women over 40 to ask their doctor. House Allergies: What you need to do today to make sure your house is allergen-free, Are you allergic to your home, plus the allergy-free checklist. Razor burn. "Family Food: Memory Boosters Edition" game.

Dr Oz The Top 5 Questions Women Over 40 Must Ask Now

Dr Kimberly Manning and Dr Donnica Moore are guests on The Dr Oz Show Today! Ask the right questions at the right time.

Dr Oz has the top 5 questions every women over forty needs to ask her doctor. Dr Oz says over 40 is one of life's toughest contradictions. Once your entering the best years of your life, your body is entering its worst. Your chances of developing heart disease are 11 times higher. The odds you'll come down with a Thyroid problem are more than twice as likely, and your risk for breast cancer sky rockets. Over 95% of all new cases are with with women over forty.

Knowing the right questions to ask your doctor is your first line of defence, and there 5 must ask questions.


Question #1: Is it menopause?
Dr Donnica Moore;
It’s important for women over 40 to know how to recognize menopause. Very simply, menopause is a clinical diagnosis based on not having had a period for 12 consecutive months, provided there’s no other reason, such as being pregnant or nursing.

The average age for menopause onset is 51. Women have menopausal symptoms beforehand if they undergo menopause earlier or experience peri-menopause – an approximate 2-10 year time span of having periods along with some menopausal symptoms.

Common symptoms associated with peri-menopause and menopause include: missed periods, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, forgetfulness, low libido and mood swings. Sleep disturbances, an often overlooked symptom, are also very common.


Question #2: Do I still need birth control?
Liz found out she was pregnant, and it wasn't a planned pregnancy! Dr Donnica Moore says if you still have your ovaries, and all the essential female body parts, and not on the pill you will get pregnant.

A recent study shows that women over 40 are almost as likely to have unplanned pregnancies as 16 year olds. Certain myths, like thinking you’re too old to get pregnant, contribute to women over 40 getting pregnant.

Birth control after 40
Unless you have officially entered menopause you need to use contraception, even if you’ve had infertility in the past.
If you don’t smoke or have any other risk factors, you can safely take the pill under the advice of your doctor. Women over 40 on the pill reap other benefits like treating peri-menopausal symptoms, PMS and fibroids.

Question #3: How healthy is my heart?
Heart Disease is the leading cause of death for women in their 40s, 50s and 60s. In addition to family history, the risk factors for heart disease include unhealthy eating habits, lack of exercise and smoking. Josie joined Dr Oz on stage today, she had a heart attack in forties, and one in her fifties

High blood pressure is the #1 cause of heart attacks. Some pharmacies have blood pressure machines that allow you to check it yourself, along with your cholesterol and blood sugar numbers.

Question #4: Why am I gaining weight?

Patricia asked the question why am I gaining weight, she eats right, exercises but still can't drop the pounds.
After turning 40, most women need to eat much less and move more to maintain the weight they had when younger. With age your metabolism slows, estrogen level drops and muscle mass diminishes. Weight gain can also signal hypothyroidism – an under active thyroid. Other symptoms of hypothyroidism include dry skin, fatigue and an inability to tolerate cold.

In normal thyroid function, the hypothalamus and pituitary activate the thyroid to release hormones. With hypothyroidism, the brain loses feedback from the thyroid and keeps trying to activate it, which results in the thyroid getting larger, creating a condition known as goiter.

If the muscles on the sides of your neck feel larger than usual, you might have a thyroid issue. Your doctor can perform a simple blood test to check for thyroid disease.

Dr Manning says calories in, calories out.

Question #5: What supplements should I take?
Women over 40 need to increase their supplement intake to make up for common deficiencies such as low vitamin D. The body needs vitamin D to help absorb calcium and protect against bone loss associated with osteoporosis.

You’re at greater risk for low-vitamin D if you have dark skin, regularly wear high SPF sunscreen or live in a northern climate. To get enough vitamin D from the sun, you need about 15-20 minutes of daily exposure, which is not always possible.

To protect against bone loss:
Women in their 40s should have their vitamin D checked with a simple blood test, practice resistance training, refrain from smoking and take a supplement.

Women 65 and older should get a bone mineral density scan. Those who have a family history of osteoporosis, smoke or take steroids should get screened earlier. If your bone density results are below normal, prescription vitamin D and calcium, a higher intensity scan of your hips and weight-bearing exercise may be called for.

Supplements for Women Over 40
1. Vitamin D
2. Calcium-Magnesium
3. Multivitamin
4. Omega 3

Dr Oz Is Your House Making You Sick

In this segment of the show Clifford Bassett the allergist joins Dr oz. Dr oz sent him to the home of Maria, and her two children Allison and Brian, they have lived in this house for 25 years. Brian is always congested and on antibiotics, Allison has asthma and requires hospitalization with respiratory problems.

Once Dr. Bassett went through their home he had some startling results for the family, and yes they are allergic to their home. Dr Bassett had skin prick tests done on them and found everybody is tremendously sensitive to house dust mites. The active ingredient in house dust. Dog dander they tested positive, humidity in the high category over 50%, tested positive to the mold found in the house. The bottom line is mildew increases when humidity levels go over 50%. The dust mites will have a field day and also activates molds and other sources of indoor allergies and their symptoms.

1. Dust mites
2. Dog Dander
3. High Humidity
4. Mold

They have a dog which leaves pet dander in the beds, couch, carpets, pretty much everywhere. There was a flood in the basement that had left mold growing up the walls.

Dr Oz 3 Step Anti Allergy Plan Of Attack

Dr Oz says the bedroom is Maria's number one hot spot for her home allergies. Dust on your table tops, dust on your curtains. Dust is made up of pet dander, dead skin, dust mites, all are highly allergenic.

Anti-Allergy Plan - Help your family breathe easier. Make your home an allergy-free zone.

Step 1: Destroy Dust Mites
As much time as you spend in your bed, dust mites, the active ingredient in house dust, spend even more. In just 2 weeks a new bed can have 2 million dust mites living in there. Though you can’t see these allergens, their feces is a huge cause of itching, watery eyes, nasal congestion and coughing.

Zip your mattresses and pillows into Dust Mite Covers. Similar to regular bedding covers but less permeable, these seal the dust mites in so they suffocate and are kept clear of your space. Two things to look for when you shop: pores that are under 10 microns in size (to keep the buggers locked in) and fabric that is 100% cotton, if possible, so it’s breathable and cool.

Wash bedding in hot water (at least 130 degrees) to kill dust mites.

For items that can’t be covered or easily cleaned such as upholstery or curtains, sprinkle or spray on a tannic acid solution (found at allergy control retailers) that neutralizes the proteins caused by dust mites (and pet dander) so they won’t trigger an allergic reaction.

Step 2: Keep it Clean
Besides dust mites, your home is filled with other free-floating allergens such as pet dander (skin flakes from your cats and dogs) that find their way into your nose, throat and ear passages causing a scratchy throat, watering eyes, sneezing and congestion. Regular cleaning will keep them from building up.

Dust, sweep, and vacuum at least once a week, including curtains, blinds, and vents. Whenever possible, use HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filters, which take up even the smallest microns of dust and trap cat and dog dander.

Wear a dust mask N95 when you clean to keep from breathing in the very allergens you are trying to contain. Masks are cheap and you can find them at your local drug or hardware store.

Use a particle-trapping dust cloth instead of a feather duster. It will pick up the dust rather than just sending it in a flurry into your air.

Hold the line on humidity. It’s not just mold and mildew (both allergens in their own right) that thrive in moist, warm environments. Dust mites are big fans too. Buy a hygrometer to measure the moisture in your home, and if necessary, purchase dehumidifiers to tackle moisture trouble spots.

Step 3: Clear the Air
When the fastidious folks at NASA studied home air quality, they found that it was 5 times worse than the air outside, which is why the air in your home is your final allergy-proofing frontier.

Purchase an air purifier with a HEPA filter.

For a cheaper alternative, fill your home with air-filtering plants. Plants such as fichus, snake plants, and gerbera daisies can clean your air by removing carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and other indoor air pollutants. Ask your local plant store for other suggestions.

Change the filters in your heating and air conditioning systems and units 4 times per year.

Dr Oz Sleep Disorders | REM Behaviour Disorder | Sexsomnia | KLS Sleeping Beauty Syndrome

Today on Dr. Oz April 19th

Dr Oz Sleep Disorders

Dr Oz Sleep Disorders; REM Behavior Disorder; Sexsomnia; Kleine-Levin Syndrome or KLS Sleeping Beauty Syndrome; 5 Life Saving Tests Every Woman Needs To Take.
Asleep for months at a time? Sexomnia? Dr. Oz explores bizarre sleep disorders, Sleep Nightmares, sleep disturbances, Violent outbursts, Sleep Sex - Dr. Oz investigates the dangers of The 3 Disastrous Sleep Disorders.

Dr Oz Bizarre Sleep Disorder REM Behavior Disorder

Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a sleep disorder (more specifically a parasomnia) that involves abnormal behavior during the sleep phase with rapid eye movement (REM sleep). RBD is characterized by the dreamer acting out his or her dreams.

The symptoms of REM Behavior Disorder are recognized by the dreamers dreams are usually usually negative ones which involve kicking, screaming, punching, grabbing, and even jumping out of bed. When awakened, one can usually recall the dream they were having which will match the actions they were performing, but they will not be aware that they were moving. Episodes occur more towards the morning hours because that is when REM sleep is more frequent. People with RBD experience episodes at least once a week, sometimes more and each episode can result in injuries to oneself or one's bed partner.

During REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, the brain shuts down certain signals: The sleeper's muscles are paralyzed and the brain goes into dreamland. In people with REM behavior disorder, muscles become activated and dreams breakthrough causing the afflicted to swear, scream, thrash and punch as they try to mimic what they are experiencing in their dreams.. Anyone in his or her wake is a potential victim.

It is more common in men over 60, although it can occur at any time of life. Studies have shown that many people with REM behavior disorder develop Parkinson’s disease or other form of dementia years later.

Rapid eye movement behavior disorder can be caused by adverse reactions to certain drugs or else during drug withdrawal.

Dr Breus says RBD is treatable. Various medications are prescribed for RBD based on varying symptoms. Low doses of clonazepam is most effective with a 90% success rate. Melatonin is also effective, For those with Parkinson's and RBD, Levodopa is a popular choice. Pramipexole is another drug which can be an effective treatment option.

Bob and his wife joined Dr Oz and Dr Breus to explain his bouts with REM Behavior Disorder. His wife described her marriage to Bob and like living with Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The bedroom became a war zone at night, and they can no longer sleep together.

Bob has dreams of animals attacking him, it began with the first dream which was a duck attacking him, which he brushed off. In his dreams he is defending himself and literally acting out the dreams and punching his pillow, punching his wife, kicking and bruising her. He has had strange dreams such a chicken in the car, about fish and all the while he is punching her and she is trying to wake him up.

Dr Oz Sexsomnia

Sleep sex or sexsomnia("banditing") - performing sexual motions, causes people to engage in sexual acts such as masturbation, fondling, thrusting, orgasm, sexual intercourse and sexual assault or rape while they are asleep. The recipient is not always their intimate partner. Anyone in the house, or in close proximity, even children, can be victimized.

Sexsomnia Warning Signs

Dr Breus says Sexsomnia is a scenario where people actually have intercourse or other sexual behaviour while completely asleep. They have almost no recollection of it, and of course their bed partners become keenly aware of the situation and sometimes can actually become quite violent.

Sleep sex is not always harmless. There have been reports of men injuring themselves during sadistic masturbation acts or humping metal or brick walls.

Sexsomnia is not only a disorder of males but also affects females. Isolated reports also exist about women who have had sex with strangers during the sleep period. The only way this entity was discovered was the detection of used condoms and semen stains on the bed the morning after the sexual incident.

Clonazepam has been used as a first line of treatment for this condition.

The first doctor to coin the term "sleep sex" was Dr. David Saul Rosenfeld, a neurologist and sleep doctor from Los Angeles, California. In some cases, sufferers are aware of their behavior for a long time before they seek help, often because they lack information that it is a medical disorder or for fear that others will judge it as willful behavior rather than a medical condition.

However, the reality of sexsomnia has been confirmed by sleep disorder researchers who have made polygraphic and video recordings of patients with the condition while they are asleep and observed unusual brain wave activity during the episodes similar to that experienced in other NREM arousal parasomnias. It is a mind/body disconnect that occurs during sleep.

Dr Oz Kleine-Levin Syndrome

Kleine-Levin Syndrome or KLS (also known as Sleeping Beauty Syndrome) is a neurological disorder characterized by recurring periods of excessive amounts of sleep and altered behavior. At the onset of an episode the patient becomes drowsy and sleeps for most of the day and night (hypersomnolence), spend more then 12 hours at a time sleeping, waking only to eat or go to the bathroom. When awake, the patient’s whole demeanor is changed, often appearing “spacey” or childlike. They also experience confusion, disorientation, complete lack of energy (lethargy), and lack of emotions (apathy). Individuals are not able to attend school or work or care for themselves. Most are bedridden, tired, and uncommunicative even when awake.

The need for sleep is so intense that sufferers will drop anywhere to do it, even on the sidewalk. Episodes can last from days to weeks, and can last from months to years. Kleine-Levin Syndrome primarily affects teen boys and may be triggered by a bacterial or viral infection, fever, alcohol or marijuana use, trauma or sleep deprivation.

Ariel joined Dr Oz and Dr Michael Breus to discuss her Kleine-Levin Syndrome or KLS Disorder. Ariel was a teen when this disorder started to affect her life, and the longest she has slept was for 15 months. Her waking hours would be app. 6 hours a day, but she would be very disorientated. When she was teen she would sleep 23 out 24 hours a day. Ariel has not been affected by KLs for three and a half years now.

Kleine-Levin Syndrome Symptoms

Because hypersomnia is the primary symptom, many patients are initially treated for a sleeping disorder. Almost half of KLS patients also experience some sort of hypersexual behavior during the event, including promiscuity, excessive masturbation, inappropriate sexual advances, and other risqué, atypical behavior. Hypersexual behavior is more common in males than females, and is associated with a much longer disease course.

People with KLS can wake up spontaneously to go to the bathroom or eat, but often they need to be aroused to do it. When they are awake or prevented from sleeping they can become irritable, aggressive and confused. Strange eating behaviors and cravings are not unusual. They can have voracious appetites eating considerably more than usual and consume and crave copious amounts of sugar and syrupy foods.

During wakefulness they may experience an overwhelming need to masturbate, fondle or expose themselves and to make inappropriate sexual advances or shout obscenities.

In many cases, KLS disorder disappears as mysteriously as it appears; often when patients reach their twenties. Of the patients that have been studied, more than 90% will outgrow KLS symptoms and even those who have some degree of it left after ten years, it is usually much, much milder.

Dr Oz 5 Life Saving Medical Tests Every Woman Needs

Early detection is often the best prevention. Dr Oz says women need to be screened for certain serious, sometimes deadly, medical conditions. But do you know which common medical tests you should have this year? Here are the Dr Oz 5 tests you need to have right away.

Test 1: Oral Cancer - Oral cancer can be caused by chronic inflammation or transmittal of the HPV virus through oral sex. Look for abnormalities in the mouth, such as white patches and ulcers that don’t heal.
Test 2: Ankle-Brachial Index - The Ankle-Brachial Index test is used to detect peripheral arterial disease (hardening of the arteries). Risk factors include smoking, a family history of diabetes or heart disease, high cholesterol and high blood pressure.

The ABI uses a Doppler device to compare the strength of the pulse near the ankle to the strength of the pulse in upper arm near the heart. Both blood pressures should match. When ankle pressure is higher than the arm’s, it can signal plaque build-up in the legs.

Test 3: Depression - Untreated depression can lead to risky behaviors such as alcohol and drug abuse that contribute to poor overall health. To find out if you might be at risk for this serious medical illness, ask yourself these questions:

Over the past few weeks, do you take pleasure in doing things?
Have you been feeling down or hopeless?

If you’ve experienced these feelings the majority of time there’s a 75% chance you have a depressive disorder and a 38% of having a major depressive disorder

Test 4: Skin Cancer - Skin cancer is the #1 cancer in America. Early detection can increase your chance of survival by 600%.

Test 5: Glaucoma - Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness. Glaucoma can damage the eye’s optic nerve resulting in vision loss and blindness. It occurs when the normal fluid pressure inside the eye rises. The test for glaucoma is called Tonometry which involves measuring intraocular pressure after numbing the eyes with drops. To check for optic nerve damage, an opthalmoscope is used to look directly through the pupil to the back of the eye.
