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.
