Dear Producers of the Doctors,

I need your assistance in airing a time-critical story/program that would avert the failing American Health Care System.

I’ve already expended thousands of my own dollars to get the necessary names on a petition to be submitted (along with draft legislation) to Congress – but I need your help!

I was elated when I viewed your Thanksgiving Day broadcast -- eliciting support for story ideas from your viewing audience.

I know you’ll find my broadcast suggestion is in TOTAL ALIGNMENT with the tenants of your health education focused programming.

The Washington Post has expressed interest in my story – however, they want EXCLUSIVE rights to the story -- I hesitate to commit to their offer because I’m afraid the limited reach of this media would not result in adequate numbers of American’s signing the web-based petition to get a hearing in Washington.

I know how difficult changing existing programming is for a show like the Doctors. However, I believe you’ll find the following program is of such critical importance, you may see fit to air it in time to get a fair hearing before Congress before they approve a bill that would devastate the average American.

Please register at www.happyhealthymillionaires.com, listen to the nationwide Conference call listed at the site, and read the Auto response returned to your e-mail box.

Thanks in advance for being catalyst to have this common sense/money saving program heard before Congress BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!

I would like to see a show on Brain Aneurysms. I was recently treated at the Cleveland Clinic for a "giant" aneurysm on my basilar artery, I am healthy 33 year old with none of the typical risk factors. I had a non-FDA approved surgery to place a Pipeline stent designed by Covidien. There are few to no good options for treating brain aneurysms and I would like attention brought to this issue with hopes that medical advances will give patients better treatment options and chances for early detection.

The doctors at the Cleveland Clinic have seen a rise in the occurrence of aneurysms, whether that is because they are becoming more common or being diagnosed more frequently is the question. Most aneurysms are found while running scans for other purposes which reveal these time bombs.

While speaking with my doctor, he indicated that there is new evidence that procedures such as coiling or clipping are ineffective long term. For instance, I believe he said coiled aneurysms have a high chance of re-occurrence (80%) . The pressure in the artery compacts the coils into the artery wall and the aneurysm grows so you are left with an aneurysm with a metal lining. Devices like the Pipeline Stent are still untested, but the results are promising.

Male and Female hair loss. Why it happens and if there is anything we can do to prevent it. Male hair loss is more common than woman, but when you are younger and have really thick hair and as you get older you loose it, Why? I used to have really thick hair and have been loosing my hair for a number of years now, I am only 29yrs old. I think Hair loss is more common than people think.

I am currently suffering/recovering from b12 deficiency, and would love to see a show that would bring about awareness of this commonly misdiagnosed illness.

People in the USA have a tendency to avoid discussing death. Having suffered a loss myself and knowing friends who lost spouses, I think it would be beneficial to have a discussion regarding the very REAL symptoms associated with grief, both physical and emotional. People who have NOT lost someone tend to avoid discussing the person who has passed on and even stop contact with the person who remains behind. Widows (and probably widowers) are treated very differently...almost like the condition is contagious!

My idea is based on personal experience. I have had chronic fatigue, hair loss, insomnia and many other nagging symptoms for a long time and it has almost finished me off at times. After seeing 3 doctors over a period of over 2 years, finally the 3rd doctor ran a specific blood test that found my thyroid was low in spite of other thyroid tests coming back ok. Through a saliva test, she found my cortisol level extremely low as well contributing to my fatigue. Other doctors I've seen have made negative comments of this type of testing. (I would love to hear your opinions on these alternative tests.) Hormone levels were shown to be way off also. After my diagnosis, I am having a very hard time regulating meds and feeling better even though we now know the problem. There have to be other women experiencing these problems and wanting questions answered...such as "why would it take so long and so many opinions to actually diagnose a thyroid issue?" and "where are the answers if the medication isn't working?"
The alternative testing could be a segment all of it's own. My doctor has done a couple of different tests along this line and prove to find things othe tests don't.
