I read all the time that grapefruit is the do all fruit but I am also told that you can not eat it if you take prescriptions for high blood pressure or cholesterol. Could you please tell me the facts on this? I really love grapefruit......
Thank you..

To Dubash - your dad and you should see a nutritionist or Certified Diabetes Educator to determine diet and exercise that is appropriate for him. It is not so much a matter of eating or not eating certain classes of foods (though avoiding refined carbs and sugars is best), but balancing medication and exercise with carbohydrate intake. Depending on medication, he may need to eat certain amounts at certain times of day. His needs can and will change over time and with changes in health and lifestyle, so this is an ongoing process. Ask his endocrinologist (or GP if he's not seeing an endocrinologist) to recommend a Certified Diabetes Educator in your area. They can work with your individual needs and that is priceless! There is NO one size-fits-all approach.

Emu is a great, natural aid for arthritis pain. I started out taking 8 per day and worked down to 2 per day. Do not take any other meds for at least 1 hour before or after taking your emu oil tablets because it's the purest form of essential oil there is. It's also great for cholesterol.

Thyme Tea - fresh use about a rounded teaspoonful or dried about half a teaspoon- pour over boiling water, let steep for five+ minutes stirring occasionally, sweeten with a little honey if liked, drink. Helps with sore throats and virousy complaints, tastes yummy too.

Dear Dr. Oz: I would like very much to receive complete information on the veggies, fruit and nuts diet. Where could I get this information? Thanks, Belva

Thank you for this new column. This is what I have been looking for and which I find extremely helpful! Thank you so much.

On the pie crust recipe, it says 108 calories per serving but does not say what size the serving is. It it an 8th of the pie?

I would love to have the Fruit, veggies and nut program also.....Thanks

Hi Dr. Oz,

I was recently advised that I have a fatty liver. I was told to avoid alcohol and increase exercise. I looked up information on line and discovered that this is a reversible condition. My question is, how will I know if this condition has improved?
Is there a blood test ? I imbibed little before
(2-4 glasses of wine a week ),but I did enjoy
it. Does this mean that I should never drink
again? Thanks, Kelly

i like to put orgeno all over my pizza when they are frozen then i put garlic powder, garlic salt all over the pizza and it tastes 100% BETTER

Hi Dr. OZ, My b6 blood levels are 124 . It was 324. I have not been taking any vitimans except for calcium +D. I have signed up to get the 995. test done. My muscle twitch when at rest. mostly the calfs, but it can be any muscle that i exersise hard. I woke up two years ago like that. I run foot races and lift weights. I have been athletic all my life. Don't drink, smoke, try to eat healthy.I am real strong and have plenty of energy. My Dr. has had all kind of tests done on me. I hope your test will help me fix my problem. I found the B6 info surffing the net.

For toenail fungus, I've seen that listerine email also. However a friend in Calif said that her dermatologist suggested soaking in white vinegar. I tried it and a condition that I have had for over 40 years has disappeared. So easy it's hard to believe.

Regarding Toe fungus: This is so random but I recieved an email today that said soaking your feet in listerene mouth wash will kill all the bad bacteria. Let me know how it works.

I would like to know what it was that Dr. Oz recomended per fibromyalgia

Great new venue. I'm looking forward to reading and adding comments in the future. Erika RDH

I am a paraplegic and have been for 17+ years. In the last 8 months i have developed a weird sweaty left leg. It started with the foot and around the hip. And now i don't want too cover up when i goto bed because anything that touches my leg will make it get sweaty too. It has also started making my lower body around my waist and my leg muscles contract and this can go on for hours stopping me from sleep or being comfortable when am out doing anything.

My doctor and my rehab doctor have been saying it's just some weird thing that happens too some people. i don't thing so. I can trigger the muscle contraction by turning left.

If you've ever run across somthing like this or have some ideas let me know. Now that winter is here i don't want too go do anything fearing my leg will freeze on me.

Thanks

Could you please comment on toe nail fungus?. What plant, spice or anything is good to heal it once and for all time for ever?. Thanks.

After viewing your recipe, I have to ask, are the calories shown for the entire crust or just a portion of it? If only a portion, what size?

Please send me the Fruit, Vegetable and Nut diet presented on Oprah. Sincerely, Muriel DuBow

My wife has had athlete's foot for years and tried everything to get rid of it. I never got it until one day at a public shower I got it. I didn't want to go through what my wife went through. I had a dream that I put cinnamon on it and when I awoke I thought why not. My athletes foot was gone in a few days. I told my wife and it has helped her a lot but she use cinnamon every day, she gets too busy and forgets. She finally got rid of it but it has come back from time to time. When she uses the cinnamon, it goes away. It makes your socks smell nice too.

Dr. OZ: Why do you continue to suggest use of vitamin E. Recent research claims that it is counterproductive to those things it's supposed to help?

following hip replacement November 06,I got an infection from the catheter,severe epididymitis,the drugs prescribed did nothing. A young Doctor I knew,who also does acupuncture,is also familiar with natural medicine suggested Tumeric tablets 3 per day. The infection and the pain has gone,and I now use turmeric on my food.

I'm 44 and have suffered from painful, swollen and bleeding gums all my life. I've tried everything including many long, painful trips to the dentist. Two months ago, I started brushing my teeth with only baking soda and cinnamon. I've notice in the past week that I have no more pain, inflammation or bleeding...even when I floss!!!

Is it safe to take Huperzine A? What affect will this have for the prevention of Alzheimer's? And, are there any adverse interactions with prescription meds?

Made a spelling mistake in previous email: the drug is COUMADIN which has a dangerous interaction with Turmeric.

Sorry!

Pleaase inform your readers that Turmeric must NOT be taken when using the blood thinner drug, COUJADIN. This is essenetial information for everyone to know,

Dear Dr. Oz, Last week sometime on Oprah's show you helped a woman that had fibromyalgia for years I missed what he said helped almost cure her. I sure would like the information as I have had it for years also.I love to see you on the Oprah show I learn so much. Thank you Betty

Add a dash of cinnamon to the pot when making chili for a pleasing flavor. Note the word "dash". It only takes a little.

hallo there, i have found that a teaspoon of cinnamon also helps against diarrhoea much faster then any ( to me ) known medicine

Please suggest all categories of foods (fruits, vegetables, beans, breads, chappatis, dried fruits) MOST suitable for diabetics.
My Dad is 50 years old , diabetic, 120 kgs weight, and eats everything, but takes tablets Metpformin 500 mg - 4 tableys per day and Diamicron 80 mg 3 tablets per day.

I want to be in charge of his diet, & lifestyle, and wish him a long healthy life.
best regards,

Turmeric is a strong inflamation fighter and is used for relieving pain in diseases such as arthritis.

Did you know that thyme is delicious in lentil, bean or split pea soup? I also use oregano when I make vegetable soup.Also, I never fail to put a little cinnamon in my oatmeal in the AM.

I've been using turmeric powder for quite a long time. i believe it has a very powerful antioxidant. also, it makes my salad so luscious.

Is it OK to use these spices if I am taking coumadin? Is it ok to take the green drink (celery,cuck,apple,lemon,lime, spinach) if that is the only vit K I take all day

Dear Dr. Oz:
Last week you had a show on Oprah where a group of people were fed 11 lbs of fruits and vegetables and some nuts. Is there a
place where we can get a list of the fruits and vegetables plus whatever else is permitted on this diet.
Thank you.
