Audience member Eleanore informs Dr. Oz that she is constantly feeling cold, especially within her hands and feet.

Dr. Oz checks Eleanore’s pulse and notes that her heart-rate is too fast. Dr. Oz informs Eleanore that her coldness could be a result of anemia (a decrease in normal number of red blood cells, or less than the normal quantity of hemoglobin in the blood), or a result of a thyroid issue (since the thyroid controls how quickly the body uses energy), and lastly, perhaps an inflamed liver. Eleanore claims that she is always stressed, and she thinks that this could be a reason to her experiencing cold sensations. Dr. Oz warns Eleanore that stress is often blamed as a factor for illness, and he reiterates that stress is often rather magnified as a result of internal issues, which are the real factors at-hand. Dr. Oz’s recommendation to help Eleanore is to start by have her blood-count checked.

Audience member Callie has a ganglion cyst (a swelling that often appears on or around joints and tendons from leaks or holes in their sheaths) on her hand and wonders how she can get it fixed.

Dr. Oz notes that the traditional non-medical method of treating a ganglion cyst was to strike the lump with a large heavy book, causing the cyst to rupture and drain into the surrounding tissues. Most homes often possessed Bibles, and the name “Bible Bumps” stuck. If these bumps become too painful to bear, Dr. Oz recommends surgery to repair the holes within the joints or tendons that are affected, and warns that the aforementioned “non-medical method” can damage the surrounding areas.
