I _had_ the same problem (stinky feet). I bought my self a _seperate_ antiperspirant/deodarant and every morning before getting dressed, I would roll it on my feet and between my toes and my problem is no longer. A spray would be easier but I don't like using spray cans.

I'm watching the show as I type this message.

Its great to see that the Neti Pot has gained and is gaining importance in the West too.

My mother had chronic allergy to dust and dirt. So along with the house to be kept clean and dust-free at ALL times, she also was asked to do this exercise when she consulted her doctor. The actual word is 'JalaNeti' derived from the world's most ancient language Sanskrit. Jala in Sanskrit means 'water' and Neti means 'drawing of a string from the mouth or nose'. Since it is jala-neti, it refers to water being passed through the nose. My mother used to do this everyday and has found great relief

Its indeed good to hear people come out with their problems in an open forum as this and find answers. To people like us at home and who also have some of those problems, its a welcome show !!

Love the Oprah show !!!

Dr. Oz, This is not meant to be critical but....................please. When you tell women to treat their, you know, like a self cleaning oven. Even ones self cleaning oven needs to have the door wiped down once in a while. Anyway, you also state to not put anything into your body that you can't put into your eye. So, what can one tell their lover about keeping this area "sweeeeet"? My wife would kill me if you used my name.. Thanks

Speaking of foot problems -- For years I've had dry, cracked, scaley feet. The skins seems to peel in layers. I try not to pick at them but it just does not clear up despite trying many creams, foot filing, and soaking. I can't go for pedicures because I am so ticklish, and I think the problem is internal. I googled and found that the cause may be a deficiency in the cells and apparently this foot condition is very common in women. Has anyone had a permanent cure that they recommend? I once tried a cream that is from Israel and was supposed to cure this, but it made the layers soften up to the point that they cracked open in a small spot and it got an infection which ended up spreading right up my leg, causing migraines and red marks up my leg (I ended up in Emergency and needed antiobiotics to clear it up). So, I'm leary about trying new creams. Maybe something dietary or vitamins? I'd like to cure this once and for all. Thanks.

i have always heard diabetes can be the cause of cracking feet. Have you had your sugar checked? I am not a doctor but that is somewhere to start as many are diabetics and do not know realize it.

Hello, On the 12/17/07 show, Oprah asked her viewers, "Where is your cochlear?" I am a clinical pediatric audiologist and want to make a correction: it is a cochlea, not a cochlear. The cochlea is the snail-shaped end organ in the inner ear which converts acoustic sound energy into mechanical and chemical energy. Julie

Hi Dr. Oz,

I wonder if I am allergic to my boy friends sperm. He is under heart medications and other related medications. I have loud high frequency noise going thru my head every time we have oral sex. And that noise gets louder and stays for days. Is it possible that all the medications can flow thru his sperm and influence into my system by oral sex?
