Did you hear that my healthy hero Dr. Oz, was diagnosed with a precancerous colon polyp? If Dear Dr. Oz who can do no wrong nutritionally can get a precancerous growth, how the heck are the rest of us gonna stay healthy???
Dr. Oz - My Constipation Guru
I’m back on the relatively healthy eating bandwagon, after slightly falling off at the end of my gluten free food foray. I’m happy to hear that Dr. Oz will be ok, but this news is slightly disconcerting. Last year I made one of those green shakes that he was raving about on his show. I couldn’t make it past the first sip. So if he’s been subsisting on that kinda healthy thing and STILL gets sick, I’m in big trouble…time to lay off the cheeseballs…
Speaking of health, I’ve made an appointment with a new endocrinologist for late Sept. She was kind enough to email me back and said that she also has Hashimoto’s — fingers crossed that it will be an informative visit, unlike my last one….
P.S. Talk about unhealthy, have you seen the recent beach picture of Kelly Ripa? eeeeegads – the girl’s skin and bones. So very sad 
I didnt see that about Dr. Oz… but it does make you wonder, doesnt it… how much of it can we really control anyways?
I havent seen any updated pics of Kelly Ripa… but girlfriend does need some fat on her little ripped muscle body…

crossing my fingers for you on the new endo!!!
Kelly Ripa was pretty before she “hollywoodized” herself with the overtanning, overblonding and undereating stuff…

I think this just goes to show you that while many things are preventative, and you should do everything you can to take care or yourself, there are just no guarantees.

Good luck with the new doctor.

Yeah, we’ve had it. Better have a glass of wine and a few pieces of chocolate to console ourselves

I saw that picture of Kelly Ripa! On the celebrity site I visited they were touting her as being more ripped than her husband. But you’re right. Skin, bones and a little sinew.

Maybe we should send Kelly our cheeseballs?!
I hadn’t heard about Dr. Oz either but you are right we are screwed.

It’s stories like that that convince me to just keep sucking down the diet coke and eat my skittles since it doesn’t seem to make too much of a difference! : )

The only thing I can say about health, actually about everything, is stay positive, because in fearing and thinking the worst what do you obtain?
( the old “wise” woman said, hahaha)
Best wishes for your appointment.

It could be that Dr. Oz is ok BECAUSE of the way he eats. Maybe if it was someone else in the same circumstances with an inferior diet, the outcome would not have been so good.
I only say this because people said that to me in 1996 when I was told that I had severe endometriosis. Every doctor was very surprised that I had no pain … they said that it may be due to diet and lifestlye.
Anyway, I hope your appt goes well with the new DR. I know how frustrating it can be …

Are you kidding me? It amazes me when someone so healthy becomes ill…I guess none of us are safe. Still, I’ll stick to my steak and beer because it makes me happy…lol

Kelly is very different than she used to be. Even her teeth have been done. She had longer teeth or bigger teeth or something before. She got caught up in the hollywood thing.
Good luck to you with your healthy eating!

Maybe you should post pictures of your meals online for a week so we can all see what it is you consider healthy (or not healthy eating). Plus, I’d like to see how many cheeseballs you really eat in a week.
Poor Dr. Oz! Are these types of things at all genetic? I love him, and you are right – totally disconcerting.
Hmm. I think that being healthy equates to moderation and finding a happy balance. When one stresses about their health, it generally has an opposite effect.

I’m hoping that things go well for you with the new doctor!
I don’t think there are any guarantees in life.
Stefanie recently posted..The Last Days of Summer
While I know living a healthy lifestyle helps, I believe whether we are actually healthy or not is largely genetic. Which may explain Dr Oz’ recent diagnosis ?
Eating a healthy diet and taking regular exercise may change the odds but our genetic make-up and outside environmental factors will still influence whether or not we get hit by a health whammy. Remember runner Jim Fixx, credited with having started the whole jogging phenomenon in the States? He died of a heart attack.
So yes, we should try to do the right things but certainly not get fanatical and make ourselves miserable about it. We simply don’t know what tomorrow will bring.
I see it as a bonus that you’ll be talking to someone this month who actually has Hashimoto’s. There is nothing like actually suffering from something to focus the mind. I imagine that will be a very useful appointment and I hope it all goes well for you.

Sorry to hear that about Dr. Oz. Life is such a crapshoot.

Wow. Um. Kelly Ripa looks like she’s about to break in half. That’s not hot.
Sad about Dr. Oz.
This is the first I’ve heard of it!
Salt recently posted..Why do I keep agreeing to things!
Yikes – that is depressing! What’s the point of giving up the most delicious things in the world if injesting only healthy things will not allow you to be healthy??
I’m so sad about Kelly. I really love her personality most days…but she is really disturbing looking. But speaking of delicious things…Her husband on the other hand, my oh my-he is a healthy looking man.

I am so glad you hooked up with a new doctor, good luck!
Kelly Ripa, she has been getting skinnier and skinnier for years, it has been obvious this girl has a problem.
You know, you can’t live forever and no matter how hard you try you just never know!

I’m on a healthy eating kick right now…It’s brutal…but I’m hoping to keep it up. I definitely don’t watch it Dr. Oz style though. That is scary.
Kristin recently posted..Dressing up old windows
To me, it says that it’s not just about trying to be healthy. Everything is not preventative and we’ve got to just live! You can drink wine every day, eat donuts and still live to be really old. Or you can get cancer very young – not caused at all by cheese balls or by not drinking your green drink. Sometimes, we become what we think about the most. Maybe he was so focused on avoiding disease that disease was his focus. It’s all theory, of course, but just do what you can and know that no one is truly an expert.

I don’t think there’s any hope for any of us, really. I think all we can do is the best we can do, and hope for the best. My Papaw lived to be 88, and he smoked every day of his life, enjoyed his whiskey, and ate whatever he wanted to. Sure, cancer got him in the end. But he had it for about a year. I thought that was a LONG life, all things considered.
I don’t watch Dr. Oz {or really any talk shows} but glad to hear he’s going to be ok!!
I hope that this new endo can give you some answers, as I said already. ;0)

All we can do is try our best. Some of it is self-care, some is genes, and some is luck.
Kelly Ripa looks terrifying in that photo. Here chest is so friggin’ bony.
Unknown Mami recently posted..Fragmented Fridays
Yep. I thought the same thing when I heard about our good Dr. But I had the opposite reaction. I figure if he’s eating that and still got polyp I might as well stick to my junk food and enjoy myself.
