Im almost 16 and I was born with a severe case of Eczema. It is so bad, my body is covered with scars and scabs because I have such dry skin that itches all the time. It is the worst on my calves. Becuase I was born this way, it has controlled my life. I have never worn a pair of shorts, I have never worn a skirt, and I have never worn a dress without black tights on. I dont go swimming at pools even though swimming is my favorite thing to do and I wold like to be on my school’s swim team. The last time I went to a pool at the age of 13 a woman made a big scene by screaming and getting her children out of the pool because she thought I had an infectious disease. I have been to my dermatologist and everything he said didn’t help, he was stumped. I have tried bleach in my bath to help heal my scabs and I have been putting on lotion twice a day to help the dryness and the itching but nothing is helping. Now that I’m turning 16 I would like to start wearing skirts and shorts for the summer time and I would like to join my friends when they have pool parties and I would like to feel as if I’m not such a freak. Is there anything I can do to get my scabs to be healed? Is there anything I can do to stop the itching so I can stop scratching my scabs to allow them to heal? And is there anything I can do to get rid of the thousands of scars that cover my body? I would love some help. I would love to be normal. Please help me!

I’ve lived the past 5 plus years under tremendous stress. I’ve had life events happen one on top the next, without the proper resources both the community and physically.I lost all family members (except for the best one, my son, David now 22 years old.)
I have a disability that usually worsens with time. I don’t have some disability personal modifications that would make my life more manageable. During the last five years just a few of the crisis, I had a car stolen, discriminated due to my disability, fell on property, the company would not reimburse the $600.00 injury.The condo I own & lived in over 11 years have incurred six water damages with incomplete replacement and remodel. The water damages weren’t handled correctly leaving no consequences for the neighbor that caused problems. My homeowner insurance was cancelled because of excess claims, but I’m vulnerable to my neighbor. The last major concern is my dental needs. Over eight months I’ve been without a front tooth & many back lower teeth. Due to my less than minimum wage income from Social Security Disability and other factors I don’t have the over 20 grand needed to solve my dental needs. My questions are considered simple considering the havoc I’ve experienced. How do I get reliable legal assistance for the numerous damages & law breakers in my life? Two major companies have repeatedly discriminated against me due to my disability. Because of the time past I have no recourse. Is there anything I can do now? If it happens again is there any help for me? How do I find help for my dental needs? I don’t want the cheapest & just any dentist available just because it’s free, that’s how my situation occurred. Over four years & 10 grand was invested years ago. I wasn’t aware of the faulty work until two years ago. The last question wraps all of this in one easy package. Over these 5 years I’ve sent numerous letters to media, agencies, and televised programs offering assistance. How do I write the prefect letter to get a favorable response? How do I locate the best person, agency and/or company that want to and will help? The letters I’ve sent aren’t written about impeding death or loss of a child. I don’t understand what is considered important and urgent. I know my son and I are slowly causing harm to ourselves because of the constant stress without any sign of a resolution. I’m thankful for my continued faith not matter the size - that is what prompts me to continue to ask. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration. A 54 year old youthful Texan!

Several months ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was fortunate enough to have a double mastectomy. I’ve been active my entire life. After I recovered from my surgery I couldn’t find a workout program or workout DVD geared towards breast cancer patients. Is there one? I love to find it. Thanks!

I have a health problem called epilepsy (seizures) and my concern is: Every time that I need blood drawn out, I always pass out but I’m not sure if its that or that I start having a seizure and I have told this to my neurologist and he’s also not sure why this still happens to me. So my question is: What is it really? and what can I do about it?

My husband has hairs that are growing inward and outward and penetrating the blood causing a black spot under scabs that are healing. The entire scab will fall off except for the black spot that is attached to the root. I have tiny black spots that are growing in size and then reduce in size flaking off and then grow back again in the same spot. We tested positive for arsenic poisoning from our water in our home.

I am 59 years old. I have polycystic kidney disease. Lately my calcium level is higher (I also have calcium spots in both breasts)
so many foods have calcium - I cut out
chocolate, broccoli,almonds etc. Is there anything I should always avoid?
Is calcium hidden in food you would not suspect? Please provide me ideas that I should focus on for my food intake.
Thank you in advance.

I’ve had a nagging non productive cough for 8 of the last 10 months. Due to huge responsibilities I lived with it and RobitussinDM and their cough drops for the first 5+months. Then went to chiropractor, asked him to work on the blockage and coughed up green and yellow sputum almost the size of a dime. Had 2 months’ relief, now it’s back so finally went to an internist 8/6 and took Azithromycin, Tussionex, Advair HFA inhaler. Added long showers, Vicks Vapor Rub, vaporizer, Claritin or Sudafed depending on need. If I lie down or lean over, I can cough almost on demand and it can easily last uncontrolably for 10 to 120 minutes. I have shortness of breath, my body aches from all the coughing. My work load has lessened so I’ve slept 12 hr. each of the last 3 nights. Helps to take Ambien. Could be allergies here in Central Texas. Don’t want it to develop into something serious. Help

I too saw the segment on the anti aging cream. I only was able to get the name No. 7. Can you please give me the full name of the product. This was on the Saturday August 22 Extra Show.

Saw your hypnosis show last night. Does that really help people who are in the fertility and IVF fertility struggle?

I know a lot of people who could really use the help.
