Dr. Oz,

I am greatly interested in this subjest as I have recently been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome. I am a 48 yr old woman who is single and living alone. For 22 years I have had a successful career in the aerospace industry, and I also had an active and fulfilling personal life. In March of ‘09 I had a physical breakdown which subsequently was diagnosed as chronic fatigue syndrome. I have been on disability since March and am having to significantly change my life-style in order to cope with the debilitating effects of the illness. Some days I can barely lift my head off the pillow. The most recent research in this field indicates that stem cell treatments are the way to go to get people with this illness on thier feet as fast as possible. Unfortunately, I cannot get this treatment in the US and I do not have an additional $20,000 lying around to go to Panama, or any other country for a treatment that is not covered by insurance. Now researchers think there is also a genetic link to the illness which is interesting. This would be a great topic for you to consider covering on your new show. I would greatly like to hear your opinion on this topic.

Thanks for all your sound medical advice,

Susan K. LeBeau

Dr. OZ .. I would like first, to “THANK OPRAH”..for bringing such an inspiring doctor, into our lives. GOD BLESS! I am a 69 yr. old woman, with severe Diabete’s, and many other health issue’s. I have been most fortunate, to be going through the Gastric Bypass soon. I am Praying this helps me, get back on the good health track? Now, I have always weighed 245 lbs, since I was 20 yrs. old? I am 5″3″. What happens, to all this skin, after the weight loss? This is my biggest fear? Can it be removed safely, Dr. OZ? I am most excited, to get this done, and put it all behind me, to begin a better health regiment. Thank you for your time, Dr. OZ. Best of Luck with your new show. It will be a Big Blessing to all of us, who just think your “TOPS” in medicine. Bless you.

I would love to participate in your study, not only to help myself, but to help others. I have always had excess fat in my inner and outer thighs which keep me from enjoying the beach and pool – too embarrassed to wear a bathing suit. I also have additional tummy fat from being post menopausal. Please let me hear from you. Thanks.

Dr. Oz
I am a 49 year old female. I have moderate to severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. I am over weight. I have started the acai and the colon cleanse. I have to take so much medicine that I take vitamins to help protect my liver, kidneys, and any other parts of me that all the medication might damage. Is there any way to reverse this problem? My cardiologist doesn’t want to do surgery because he said that it is such a complex and complicated surgery that he just wants to keep me on medication. I watch you on Oprah every time you are on and I try to do my best to follow your advice. I desperately want to change to help myself to heal, or at least try to get off some of the meds that I am taking. I would greatly appreciate any help you could give me in this matter. I can no longer work and what little check I do get just barely gets us by. Please tell me some good news.

The more ways we can create stem cells the better. I’m convinced, despite how great embryonic stem cells are (they are), that working with a wide variety of stem cells will make us more productive than working with embryonic ones alone.
