@ DrSears When you went to The Willis Tower to face your fear of heights did it help? I have a fear of heights as well. If I was with you, we would have been quite a pair, only since the observation area was all glass, I would have been on my hands and needs.

I was watching the show airing 12/11/12, and saw the portion about how children can be taught to be able to swallow pills. I was disappointed and quite frankly a little concerned that NOTHING was mentioned about teaching children that pills are NOT candy. As a registered nurse I have seen children brought into the ER who have swallowed what they thought was "candy", and was actually medications that could have killed them.

I had to comment that you didn't give the full old remedy for teething pain.  You take a full shot of whiskey, dip your finger in the whiskey and rub on babies gums, then drink the shot for yourself.  You don't get the full effect if you don't do the second half of that.  LOL.  (I can't stand alchohol so I never tried this on my kids who are both in their thirties now.)

Thank you for all your great work Dr. Sears!

so did you do the half-Ironman triathlon?  You really inspire me to want to do more.  I know that you had a weight issue at one time, and you were succerssful at taking it off and KEEPING IT OFF.  I tried to do the things i love to do that were good for me and considered exercise.  But soon learned that I was in no shape to do any of those things.  But I listen to you talk about how to do things in baby steps for CHILDREN.  children with health issues, children with physical issues and children with thought processing issues.  I have taken those stories and treatments and applied them to myself and SLOWLY I am making strides in feeling better.  I still need to drop from 35% fat to 25% fat.  but one thing at a time.  

Also you should know that you had a positive effect on my daughter as well.  She saw the Doctors taping when you all went to haiti.  She has decided that she wants to be a pediatrician that helps kids all over the world.  Including our own backyard.  She is now a senior at 17 and is going to do a career internship at HOAG HOSPITAL.  Keep up the good work.  And post  me about the triathalon you were talking about in January.

Hello ..
I Zaid from Jordan, My Age 18 year

I have failed to consider and I want to do the work of the process of vision correction through LASIK-ray ... Is it harmful and is working on the destruction of the cornea? Or not? What are the side effects? Please advise me as soon as possible and thank you

Dr. Sears, I love what you're doing! I'm watching your show from Germany, I just want to tell you that it's great what you're doing. Thank you!

Dr. Sears, you are this generation's Dr. Spock - thank you for sharing so much practical wisdom! I don't know if you can help, but I have identical twin granddaughters who are going through a horrible period. They sit against a wall or closed door and rock back against it, banging their spines and heads. This can go on for ages, and we cannot get them to stop. They broke their crib and outgrew their sleep-n-play 'pens' so we're trying to get them to sleep in a bed but they refuse - just get back on the floor and bang, then eventually pass out for a few hours, only to wake up and start banging again. Money is a major concern so we can't buy new cribs. They show no other symptoms of autism - they interact, make eye contact, play, etc. - so we seriously doubt that's the problem. There is AD(H)D on both sides of their genetic tree - could this be an early sign? My daughter, their mother, rocked herself to sleep on her hands and knees for several years as a self-calming technique, but never anything like this. The entire household is in shambles from emotional and physical exhaustion, we're always afraid the neighbors will call the police (again) or CPS and the babies will be taken away... they're generally healthy and happy otherwise, but this is almost literally driving us crazy. Is there anything at all you can suggest? (Their next well-baby visit isn't until mid-July - should we take them in on an "urgent" basis for exams of any kind?) Please help - we are truly desperate.

Hi Dr Jim Sears can you on the show talk about Hodgkin's Lymphoma as it's on a alarming steady rise. Delta Goodrem the Austrailian singer & actress had it and so did that dued from Dexter & Six Feet Under. Can you on the show talk about the 1st symptoms & the additional B symptoms. I hope if you do a show about this I might save a life or many. In the UK where I live in Glasgow. In the UK a person is diagnosed with Lukemia & Lymphoma blood cancer  ever 20 minuet's so. I think it about time it was given the spot light on the show. As I am writing this to you I am burning up, it 2.45 am in the morning of Friday April 30th 2010. I am a Drama School student & a awesome Psychic Medium. Have a awesome month of May. I send you. Love & Light to light your path :-) Gail A Hamilton
