Oprah you need to do s show on women's heart disease. The symptoms that are not well known are simply "burping attacks". These are symtoms of blockage of the left main artery of the heart and the one that you don't make it to the hospital. I told all my doctors and no one really had much interest in my symptoms. "Stop drinking liquids with your meals" Finally I asked my cardiologist to rule out my heart. She set up an echo stress test after which I felt funny and went to the emergency room. They did a heart cath and rushed me into an emergency by pass surgury. If I did not go in I would have died that day. I just felt like I had to burp. My neighbor had just dropped dead of the same thing the year before. If you have long periods of belching that is a serious heart disease symptom. I tell everyone i see. Then I thought I need Oprah to tell everyone. Please get this message out. Thank you

You have a great magazine but I am disturbed about one thing. That is that month after month your picture is the only one I see. I think you are a lovely woman, indeed, but how about maybe try for a year to have a cover showing the picture of some woman that you admire in perhaps the field of medicine, perhaps a volunteer, maybe a nurse. There are so many categories that could be touched upon and would inspire women who read your magazine. I thank you for the many fine things you do and know you can share your cover with them if you gave it some thought. love, Lorraine

Can any one tell me how to submit a book idea to Oprah. It is a true story about four women of Bronze Ville, setting took place there in Chicago in the historical neighborhood of Bronze Ville. These four women migrated to Chicago during the great migration of the forties from rual Mississippi, they met in Bronze Ville where their lives took became intertwined in a struggle for survial. What they did changed the lives of their children and families for generations to come. They became the driving force behind the drug trade,part of the Mofia they went to the federal pen. at Alderson West Virginia but they paid the ultimate price for what they did. Ther is so much intrige and excitement in this story. Police on the take,judges on the take.

Dear Oprah,



I have been a fan of your for years and would like to get tickets to see your show in person with my friend. I live in Traverse City, Mi., so I could drive down to Chicago to attend your show. How expensive are tickets and when would I be able to see you "live"?



Keep up the good work and God Bless You for being a blessing to so many.

Sincerely.....Claudia Light

Oprah, I just wanted to share this poem. i am still in full excitement over President Elect Obama. If this was not the right place to do this forgive me!

A Man amongst Men

The beginning

We must always remember that President Obama elect

Was not by chance, but really a spiritual God-filled select

This must remain fact of history that we should never forget

The blessing

Barack’s dream has brought us back to the truth of black history

You see we people of color have always had a legacy of Royalty

Some history

Stick with me a moment and you will see

As I mention a couple …follow me

There was

Affonso 1 (1506-1540)

Nandi-Symbol of a woman of high esteem (1778-1826)

Know. Young black folk, you came from royalty; it’s not just a dream!

Keeping it from you though, is part of a wider scheme

Search your black history young black folk there’s many, many more

Sadly, no space made for these facts in our history books for sure

Our youth

Why is this important you may ask of me?

The truth of our rich, wonderful history will set our young black people of free

The hope, the truth, the dream tell them anything is possibility

Barack thank you for reopening the pride of black folk’s history

We rise

Cause for many years through toil and tears our story falsely told

Our legacy stolen, voices silenced, our true past placed on hold

My young children of color fix your eyes on Barack and know that you can reach for the sky

When someone tells you .you can’t, don’t listen, challenge them and tell them why

Cause there is no desire you can’t reach, never is your aim too high

Think of Barack children of color; with faith and courage he reached for the sky

He did not stop to ponder the question of those who would ask why

He filled his dream with yes I can, and now he has the whole pie

The challenge

With Him we triumphantly rejoice

We see his power, his focus, and his choice

Yet Racism rings out in a putrid, not so silent voice

Some still rejecting and reeling that he is America’s first choice

Daily up and down messages from the media noise

Some of them unable to deliver the news with grace or even poise

They sit back in venomous wait

Lurking and waiting for his first big mistake

True love

Ah, but in his corner his true love and friend

Michele stands at the city gate to protect her man amongst men

His voice

Barack delivers a message that is not “I” but we

He is humble, sincere, focused and not about “me”

I repeat, his message tells us that if united we be

Yes we can make a difference, it’s a huge possibility

No we won’t do it in a minute or two

It will depend on the seriousness and commitment of me and you

The dream

Oh, Canada our home and native land

We people of color are taking a powerful stand

In this land so strong and free

One day a Prime Minister of color there surely will be

It doesn’t stop at Barack, this is just the beginning, and you just wait and see

The message

Barack is the messenger that God sent to say

No matter how you try to stop it, I will have My way

By My power, My plan, My will, I have the final say

Today it’s Barack Obama, a man amongst men

Tomorrow who knows what Creator’s plan is for us my friend

For sure we are his work in progress and this is definitely not the end



To God be the Glory for the great things He has done and continues to do

VERY DISAPPOINTED IN OPRAH. SHE SAYS SHE IS NOT BIASED OR RACIST, YET WILL NOT ALLOW SARAH PALIN ON THE SHOW. SHE WILL LOSE VIEWERS AND THOSE WHO UP TO THIS TIME HAD SOME RESPECT FOR HER AND HER OPINIONS.

Hi Oprah:



I have been watching your show for many years. As a nurse I do not always get to watch it but have been thinking about a show that may help millions of people at the end of life. I am a hospice nurse and would like to see a show on hospice and end of life. I know it is not everyone's favorite subject but definitely needs to be addressed. As a hospice nurse I have found many people have never heard about hospice but once they have used our services they are overwhelmingly greatful for the support at their loved ones end of life. Hospice is not just about end of life but living till you die. Would you consider doing a show about it. Thanks for considering it.

Janice

Dear Oprah.

Thank you for being my T.V. mentor/motivator/ it has taken me a long time to build up the courage to e-mail you. It would be an honor if your producers could call me so that I could give them some information about what could be an spellbounding topic/story.



Thank you,

Charlotte Allison

I met acon artist and was taken advantage of and abused but i've survived and i am mentally ill. My children and god saved me for real .please email me rainy1965@comcast.net

Hi Oprah,
I am a 62 year old veteran teacher who is thinking of retiring in June 2008. I have been teaching for 38 years and I feel like I have a lot to give. I am of Indian origin and I wondering if you need a person like me to work for you and your school in Africa as a consultant. I am not looking for a full time job but I think I would like to work with teachers and show them how to connect with children and work with them to be the best they can be. Right now I am closing up shop and getting ready for a summer camp that I am part of every summer. But in spite of all the problems I faced in life, life has been good to me and I want to make things better for children. If you need someone like me to work for you and children, I would love to talk with you a little more. Take care. You have the power to reach children and I can help. One child at a time.

MY HUBAND AND I WERE WATCHING YOU SHOW TODAY AS OUR BUSINESS. I HAD TO SEND THIS COMMENT ON GASTRIC-BYPASS. I FEEL FOR THESE TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS. I HAD THE GASTRIC-BYPASS SURG.AUG.10,2001. IT SAVED MY LIFE. I HAD MANY MANY HEALTH PROBLEMS AND STILL DO. BUT HAD I NOT HAD THE SURG. I WOULD NOT BE WRITING THIS TODAY. I ONCE HAD A DR. TELL ME I WOULD NOT LIVE TO BE 45. AM 50. BUT A YEAR AFTER MY SURG. I WAS DIANOSIS WITH CARDIOMYOPATHY. SO IT REALLY IS A MIRACLE THAT I AM ALIVE. MY MAIN REASON FOR WRITING THIS IS THAT WE REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO US IN FIVE YEARS IN SEVEN YEARS OR TEN. KNPW ONE REALLY CAN SAY. ALL I KNOW IS THAT LOTS OF US THAT HAVE HAD THE SURG. AFTER FIVE YEARS ARE STRUGGLING TO KEEP THE WT. OFF AND SLOWING OVER THE YEARS GAINING WT. BACK. I MYSELF LOST ALMOST 170LBS. IN 11/2 YRS. AND THEN SLOWING STARTED PUTTING ON10 HERE AND10 THERE TIL I HAVE PUT ON ABOUT 60LBS. NOW. IT'S IS HEARTBREAKING AND DEPRESSING AND A DALIY STRUGGLE TO GET IT OFF AGAIN AND NOT PUT ANYMORE BACK ON. I KEEP TELLING MYSELF WHY DID I GO THROUGH ALL THIS IF I CAN'T CONTROL MY LIFE AND KEEP IT OF. YOU GO THROUGH SO MUCH TO LOSE IT AND YOU DEVELOP OTHER ADDICTIONS THAT CAN BE COSTLY AND BRUTLE TO US. BUT YOOU KNOW I WOULD DO IT AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT IF IT MEANT SAVING MY LIFE. THIESE CHILREN THAT HAVE PARENTS THAT CONCERN FOR THEM IS WONDERFUL. MY OLDEST SON IS 30 AND WEIGHT PROBALBY CLOSE TO 450 IF NOT MORE. HE IS SO LARGE THAT HE CAN HARDLY WALK. HE CAN'T WORK HE LOST HIS LAST JOB FOR FALLING ASLEEP AND HE IS HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING ANOTHER ONE. HE WANTS TO HAVE THE SURG. SO BADLY. I WISH I COULD HELP HIM DO IT BUT IN HIS CASE NO INSURANCE AND HE DOESN'T QUAIFIED FOR MEDICARE. HE IS A DABETIC ADND I THINK HE HAS A DEATHWISH CAUSE I WATCH HIM NOW AND IT SEEMS HE JUST DON'T CARE ANYMORE. I KNOW THE SURG. DOESN'T FIT EVERYTHING BUT!!!!!!!! IT DOES HELP GIVE YOU SOME HOPE AND ONCE YOU HAVE THE SURG. AND SEE THE WEIGHT COMING OFF IT GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR. EVEN IF YOU DON'T WHAT IS DOWN THE LINE FOR YOU. THANKS FOR LETTING US SHARE WITH YOU OOUR FEELING AND STRUGGLES. SOMETIMES JUST SPILLING OUR GUTTS IS GOOD FOR US.

I am a 71year old woman now retired & living in Florida. We grew up as a very poor welfare family & when I watch you redo the home of a family whose wife/mother has a hoarding problem but seems to have funds to support that habit; I wonder how I would have felt as a child who is hungry, has no home & certainly no toys.

The following show was your give away. Needless to say that it generated the very same feelings. Indeed I know that you do wonderful things with your Angel program and your school in Africa. However, I am compelled to let you know that my concerns were for so very many children in this country that would benefit from your generosity.

Thanks for listening

Sharlene Marchette

thanks very much Oprah for inspiring talk show

i love your and you are star

keep doing the good work

Thank you! Standing "O" for Oprah for today's show with MM, Uwe, Karen:

The answer to the question regarding availability of healthcare that is not income dependant (gas station attendant's child vs. executive) is a resounding = (equal healthcare for all. The comparison made by Uwe regarding the cost of 9 mo. of Iraqi war being the same as revision of USA healthcare, is a "no brainer". How callous it is, that everyone doesn't believe that, and there is so much elitism in our society.

Please tell me how I can be of service for the transition. I have dual (Canadian and American) citizenship, and saw the transition from private insurance to community responsibility in Canada, that started in Windsor, Ontario, started by 7 doctors, in 1962.

The goal of any healthcare plan should be survival - physical, mental, sociological, and financial. As a 68 year with 47 years of experience as a R.N., I have been fired 3 times, in the past 3 years, due to exorbitantly higher premiums charged to employers for their 55+ year old employees. That is a little known fact which friends of mine who employed 25 people in their own business, discovered when they attained 55 years and Blue Cross charged them $900./month each for their own coverage, 10 & 15 years ago. When they turned 65, and had Medicare coverage, Blue Cross wouldn't allow that to be their primary coverage, insisting that their Blue Cross policy have that role. They retired. Medicare needs to blend with the new equal opportunity program!

I SEEN YOUR SHOW ON AUTISM. MY THREE DAUGHTERS WERE NOT IMMUNIZED. MY POINT IS WHEN THEY REACHED COLLEGE AGE THEY WERE REQUIRED TO HAVE SEVERAL SHOTS. I CHOSE THE MMR BEING THAT THEY WERE GIRLS. THEY RECEIVED THE SAME AMOUNT OF VACCINE AS A 15 MONTH OLD WOULD. JENNY McCARTHYS COMMENT ABOUT THE SHOTS SHOULD NOT BE ONE SIZE FITS ALL AND I TOTALLY AGREE. HOW DO YOU JUSTIFY GIVING A PERSON THATS 6FT TALL WEIGHING APPROX 160# THE SAME AMOUNT OF VACCINE AS A 2 FT TALL PERSON WEIGHING 30# OR SO. I FELT THAT WITH THEM BEING OLDER THEY WERE ABLE TO HANDLE THE VACCINE BETTER. MAYBE DRS AND THE HEALTH SYSTEM SHOULD REALIZE THAT SOME CHILDREN NEED A SMALLER DOSE THAN OTHERS.

Dear Oprah
I am spanish person who admire you. You are very strong and a good model to many people like me. Your shows are wonderfull.
Dear Oprah.
Do you ever think to do show about the real estate market in Naples, Florida.
I moved last year from Illinois and I was hoping any ideas or resources for me and people like me in the situation to loose or houses. I talked to my mortgage Bank to prevent this thing happen and they told me nothing they can do and try to look resources and nothing is available
to solve this kind the problem.
How is the best to handle. Is there any help emotional and financially.
I know is something materialistic but I did work hard
Hopefully to hear from you.
Thank you
Maria

Since this is a free country Oprah can endorse Barark "Osuma ben laden" Obama all she wants,but I will not vote for him or any other demorat!

Oprah;





Are you really ging to give someone money to help their campaign, when they don't believe in GOD!

Please tell me I'm wrong.

Oprah I Lost me two girls to social services almost three years ago. They say we are not fit parents. My oldest daughter Rebekah said she had been molested by my nephew who was living with us at the time. The courts got mad because I would not say that I knew who it was that molested her nor could my husband. She says we knew but God up in heaven knows we didn't. I could not swear it was him because I din't know and I am not sending an innocent person to jail. Now they say they don't want to come home but I feel they have been brain washed by the Social Services and their House Parents, I miss them so much, everyday I think of them and about how much I love them. The courts took our parental rights and we can't see or talk to them. We have appealed it though. I want my children home. They don't have any real proof that it was my nephew, he even told them he would take a lie detector test and they would not set one up. The Disrtict attorney said they didn't have anything to go on to start a trial but they did anyway. The Social Services never tried to reunite us at all. The second time we were in court they ask for cease reunification. And we did every thing the Judge ask us to do and everything the Social Services ask us to do. We know that something happened to Rebekah but we can't prove it. But the Social services never tried to reunite us as a family. They just let us visit one hour per week and that was all they did. Both of our daughters told us that the House Parents and The Social Services told them that we would beat them and do all kinds of things to them if they came home. They have them scared to death to come home. I there anyway you could help us get our two girls back? We are a very loving Christian family and would never let something like that go on if we knew about it. We have been praying for almost three years now for God to send the girls home, we really believe in God and prayer. That's another thing the Social Services and The Judges didn't like because we are Christians. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. They are in the custody of the Burke County Social Services: The number there is 828 439 2003 and you would talk with Sandra Dale. They live at South Mountain Childrens home and the Social Services could tell you that number they are in the Carpenter House with Rebecca Posten and Sam Posten. Thank you in advance for all you can do. Love,

Sherry Henry

I don't know who gets these comments but I hope it goes in the right hands and maybe someday ends up in Oprah's.

I am a mother of 2 , my son is a Marine stationed at Quantica Va. and my daughter is a freshman in high school. I don't work (my husband does) and so when they are doing what they do during the day I watch the Oprah show. I'm sure it was a re-run that I originally missed about your show "PAYING IT FORWARD" and was so inspired I formed a group on Cafe Mom called paying it forward hoping that I can get others as Inspired as I was.

We live in a run down trailor that we rent and we don't have much but I made a few sandwiches and grabbed some bottles of water and gave them out to some people that lived in a nearby park.

I just wanted to thank Oprah for inspiring me and I'll try to let her know how my group is going on Cafe Mom.

Thank you

I would Oprah to help our school bible study out reach project. The project we would like to do is to raise money to help stop slave trafficing. They are referred to as the "street girls" But we have no conncetiond with anyone in Brazil. Please help us Oprah.

I would like to reach someone that is affiliated with Oprah and see if she can help make a change in the world of animal shelters. I am a volunteer and I work with finding homes or getting the dogs pulled from the shelter before they are killed. In my investigating I have found out a lot of things that they don't want the public to find out. Its horrible and the rescue people need the public to know where their tax dollars are going

I have a customer (in my knit shop) that has been making felt purses and selling them to raise money for Opera's Angels. She has raised over $1400.+ last year. If one person can raise this kind of money alone, imagine what tens of thousands knitters across the country can accomplish if they joined in this effort. My store, Knit n Purl, would like to begin selling kits to make these bags, as we did in 2004 with our Scarves for Breast Cancer project that was so successful. Any publicity you could give us would certainly help Oprah's Angels.



Thank You

Oprah i understand how you feel about the death of pet it really hard. it been 1 month i lost my beloved poodle to a pittbull attack i was walking my 2 poodles and a pittbull mauled one and killed the other and all i could do was the only thing i could do try hard to save them. im seeing a psychotherapist for the emotion affect this has had on me to watch my baby killed and i could not save him

oprah . i am watchinh ur show right now. it is wed june 20 that girl that killed her baby is not sorry . the whole time she was talking she was beteening to cry . the tears where not real i did not see one tear come out of her eyes.

What are we going to do now.Monday 15, Tuesday 16.

We must stop the language, we must stop the viteos. What about the commercials on T.V.? almost all of them are of sexial content. Degrading women of any color should not be allowed. We must stop buying the products, and we must have a strong voice. Sex sells.Degrading women and vile words in movies sell.

Women who sing and men who sing that make viteos try to make each one more shocking with sex then the last one. Woman should know better then to make those vedeos, Men too. We have to start with the entertaianer, producers,a dn commericals.It is very sad. Our young people need to be protected.

On the Monday April 9th show on addiction, one of the guests said he has not had a drink in 2 years He mentioned a pill that has helped him. What is the name of the medication that he has been taking?

I would appreciate it if you could please tell me how I might reach the OPRAH STAFF in order to send a book idea. New MEDICAL research on ALCOHOLIC BLACKOUT and how the brain does not record any current memory, so kids drink & drive in this state, not knowing they are drunk and with no memory. Dr. Sweeney,s research shows a SYNOPSIS OF THE BRAIN occuring. A simple verbal 4 word test verifies the condition. 30% of drinkers have this happen to them and DON'T KNOW IT. Everyone should know about this brain synopsis to protect themselves and others from drunk driving, rape, and even murder all occuring while in alcohol blackout.

I tried to find way to e-mail letter to apply for "in your wildest dreams" entry. Oprah said on her show to go to Oprah.com, I did, but could find no reference to contest. Can you help me?
