I know this was discussed a few weeks ago but, with everything that happened at my rheumo apt. last week, my mom mentioned that i should really look into this Dr. Oz that was on Oprah. I missed the show, tried to search for it on her site but didnt find a whole lot.
I found his book, although I didnt purchase it i looked through it at the store, i did not find anything in his book that really is a cure all for fibro. That is the reason I didnt buy the book.
Does anyone know what the woman in the audience did to become "cured" ? Mom said they didnt go into detail about it, I cant find much info on this when searching Oprah's site.
Does anyone know any specifics about this and if what this woman claims to have done in order to become cured, did it work, has anyone tried it?
Ive done the herbal/all natural/ didn't eat meat for 7 months, didn't work, and couldnt afford the herbal all natural meds.
I am curious, and wish that since this woman in the audience stood up and said she was now cured, they could have at least went into a bit of detail about it.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
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.
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'.
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.
