Leaking when laughing Dec 3, 2007 3:37 PM
Kudos to the brave woman who spoke up on this issue! There are additional ways to avoid leaking with laughter and lifting besides urinating more frequently (which potentially will set your bladder up to feel the urge to urinate more frequently over time - not my suggestions) and avoiding caffeine (and other bladder irritants). The pelvic floor muscles, like other muscles in your body, can be strengthened. As a women's health physical therapist, I help women assess their ability to perform a pelvic floor contraction, check out their posture and strength/stability, and take control over their bladder. Spread the word!

In regards to Cellulite. Is there any way to get rid of it. I know that the creams do not work but does diet and exercise get rid of it or will liposuction work.

Since the show today is a repeat, no need to ask questions of Dr. Oz.
I'd just like to know if anybody else thinks Oprah kinda has a crush on Dr. Oz?

Sorry you did not get around to telling some of the cellulite reductions that do work. I have owned an ultrasound machine - which has been successful for over 50 yrs. Has been in the USA for 30 yrs. 100% of my clients are living proof of spot reduction with out cutting, dieting, exercising....and thankful. If you'd like to discuss this process, please e-mail me. the second step of the process flushes the liquifid matter into the lymphatic system. Takes an hour, 3 times a week for 3-5 weeks. Yes, cellulite will return in a year, at which point they come back for 1 or 2 treatments. There are now 3 manufacturers with equipment.

Re: Ask Dr. Oz Dec 3, 2007 4:23 PM
I sure disagree with the good Doctor Oz on botox. Since it is temporary one would have to keep using it. There are no studies that demonstrate the long-term safety issues with long-term use. Even if a person can over-look the unknown safety issuew there are direct dangers linked in having even just one injection.
It's not the safety of humans that infuriates me because they have a choice. It's the animal suffering. Because of botox being dangerous, every batch has to be tested on an animal. From what I understand it is barbaric. They are injected with various dosages adn those animals that recieve too much die a horrible death. The animals with just the right amount of paralysis determine the proper dosage. Those animals given a high or powerful dose eventually die from suffercation.
Guess we all live with our own consciences.
My message will be posted shortly, yes there is Ultrasound treatments, same results as lipo, except I do not cut skin off.

I do kegal exercises daily. To learn to squeeze those muscles, try to stop the flow of urine. It's those muscles you want to practice. Another way, try to squeeze a penis during sex. I try to do kegal exercises at every stop light and do it as many times during the light. Squeeze. Hold for 10 seconds. Then release. It's easy to do and doing them regularly really helps. It's also great to do during sex!!!!! hehe

I was so thrilled to hear Dr. Oz say that energy medicine is the next big medical frontier!!!! I am a registered nurse and also a Reiki Level II practioner. I can't tell you how much Reiki has helped me! My menopausal sleep problems and hot flashes completely vanished when I became attuned to Reiki! It's an incredible stress reliever! And Oprah should be interested in this, my dogs love it!!!!! I have one dog who is 14 and he soaks up his Reiki treatments like a little sponge and sleeps for hours afterwards! I would love to see a show on alternative therapies (I am a member of the Holistic Nurses Association) and particularly on Reiki!

Bladder Control Dec 3, 2007 4:46 PM
Why wasn't it mentioned that there is such a thing called bladder suspension surgery to correct the urine-leaking problem??? They can lift that bladder back up where it belongs. I had it done after a year or two of leaking problems, and I have been leak-free ever since. My doc told me I should be okay for at least 10 years before the muscles weaken again. I was in my mid-40s when I had it done. It was major surgery, and I needed six weeks off work to rest up. It was no different than any other surgery -- including childbirth. I have a scar similar to a C-section. It's been five 5-6 years now, and it's hardly noticeable. My doc wouldn't do it for me until it had gotten really bad, so don't expect to run right in to your doc and have it done without a lot of tests performed first; but definitely check it out if your leaking is causing you a lot of problems.

Re: Ask Dr. Oz Dec 3, 2007 4:54 PM
Hey Dr. Oz, Since 2001, I have received acupuncture and herbs for preimenopaues. Now at the age of almost 49, ( in March ) Compared to my 4 sisters whom all had partial or full historectomys in thier late 30's to early 40's, I believe in the treatment! I have kept up on yearly ob check-ups, and mammos. The last couple of months, my body started to tell me that the herbs had come to the end of their usefulness, because of heavy bleeding and clots, so in turn I started to wen myself off slowly.Aug-Nov 07. Because of heavy bleeding and clotting I underwent a D&C, ( Friday Nov. 30th), The news of what great shape my uterus is in was reliving. The Small amount of fibroids removed suprised my Dr. She is now convinced that the Herbs were overstimulating the uterus and has ask me to discontinuing the herbs but I Can Not get her to understand that I had started the process some time ago. I disagree that herbs were overstimulation the uterus. What do you think? I will continue on with acupuncture.

first the homeopathic pellets. CAUSTICUM, works wonders, ask about them at the health food stores.
is it also after you eat fruit? in other words, the fruit acts as an instant diuretic
hopes this helps
