I posted a thread about Oprah and what she and her Dr. said about Thyroid disease just a few days ago. After what she said about women having thyroid disease because they've "lost their voices" I'd be VERY leery of any medical advice she tried to pass along. There is a link to an article in my post... go check it out, if you've got time. It's rather ridiculous.

I saw the show, Dr. Oz said docs weren't acknowledging FM and CFS because they didn't know what to do with them. The woman who was cured, changed her diet, I think also had endocrinologist input, and it took months to a year but she has no more pain.

Dr. Oz makes a 'green drink' of things he puts in a blender, all vegetable, fruit and some ginger root. Maybe a search at Oprah's site on 'green drink' will help?

That's all my CFS-Meno brain can recall, I hope it helps.

I must be losing it. I thought it hadn't played yet. You're talking about the show Oprah did on Fibro, right? I really thought it was coming on on Nov. 27. Guess I already lost it. Don't care to find my mind either.

It was the show when she talked about her thyroid, I think. No, that guest was Northrup. The Oz show was a week or two after, and it was more about what food we put into our bodies, etc..

Oprah did have kind of an incredulous expression on her face with the woman in the audience who talked about her Fibro. I'm not a fan or a non-fan of Oprah one way or another, but I was really dismayed by her demeanor. I caught that show by accident, I wanted to know what the green drink was and I may try it, if I can find the 'recipe'.

DR Oz is a heart specialist right here in ny
Since Oprah has discovered him he has expanded his knowledge to include opinions on everything.
I saw the show and went back and watched the fibro part several times. HE never said he treated the the woman personally. HE never said he had a cure a for fibro..What he did say was that he now "believed" that fibro was real and that this woman ( who's name was Lisa) had fibro for 7 years and he sent her to Dr Tietlebaum who has some very old fibro theories and wrote a book in about 1994( there have been revisions on it)
His method is basically to have the person eat a healthier diet and exercise and supplements..this woman claimed he cured her and she she felt better in a week.
Tietlebaum is VERY expensive and takes NO insurance.
It seems to me that if after all these years his method worked others would do it and we would all be cured by now.
ALso and I do not know if this is true...I saw on the AOL message board that a woman there claims that oprah has taped a TV show on fibro to be shown on NOV 28. This woman says she is on the show. Many people seem to doubt that it is true cause this woman has said things and exaggerated in the past...so I guess just wait and see..If she does do a show I hope it is a supportive and informative one.

that fibrowelcomepackage pretty informative thanks for the heads up on it.
love trish

I do believe we can help ourselves a great deal...and maybe hers was "Mild enough" that most of what she did felt like a cure !...this disease seems to have a wide variety of Severity...my SIL has this as well...but she has No muscle pain...just ALOT of alergies...and she says going gluten free has pretty much cured her...so yea, no ideas

Dream, I missed the show also. If you get the name of the book, would you forward it to me please

I have been thinking a lot about the diet thing and why it seems to improve with a change to a gluten free diet. It works for autism as well. Is it because we are sensitive to fungus? Mold? fungus=mold. They say a lot of our food has mold on it and it's the mold or fungus that is causing our disease. I had a serious fungus infection that caused my FM. The toxins went to my brain, liver and hypothalamus that I know of. After being treated the pain is just about gone and I'm don't have as much brain fog. I'm also down to 2.5mg of steroids from 20mg a day. I believe there is a physical cause. We just need to push these people to look at the right things.

The name of the book is You Looking Young or Younger...something like that. Dr. Oz put the "cured" lady in touch with another doctor...I can't remember his name. They talked very briefly on the subject. I bought the book. The diet is good for you but it sure hasn't stopped my pain. The "green" drink isn't too bad but still...pain is ever present. Hope this helps. Love you Dream!!

Thank u guys, this is what i was looking for. Staci, i dont think that is the name of the book, however for the life of me i cant even remember what the cover looked like, i didnt think the title ws that long, but heck, i could have been looking at the wrong book. I figured this was too good to be true, as usual.
