Dr. Oz The Long Island Medium:
The Housewife Who Talks to The Dead
Theresa Caputo, The
Long Island Medium on TLC,
is married with two kids, likes to think of herself as a
typical Long Island mom. The last thing she thought she'd be doing is
talking to dead people. At the age of 4 she started seeing spirits at
the end of her bed and thought it was normal. When she was 14, she
learned that it wasn't normal which sent her into anxiety attacks.
Her mother sent her to a spiritual healer who helped her realized she
had a gift.
Ms. Caputo's wish for everyone who
contacts their deceased loved ones is that they receive a message
that brings healing closure for them.
Everyone has the ability to connect
with their departed loved ones, says Mr. Caputo. She has the ability
to talk everyone who has departed. The connection between the living
and the departed is a soul bond, a spiritual bond that cannot be
broken in death.
Dr Oz says he can explain the physical
and medical experience of dying but can't explain how it feels. Ms.
Caputo says the dead are greeted by loved ones, different loved ones
on different levels on the other side. There are many levels for the
dead to go through, she explains, where the soul learns lessons of
growth and healing.
Skeptics say Ms. Caputo is picking up
on information and details that the client provides during a
conversation and that's how she's able to give people the impression
she speaks with the dead. Ms. Caputo responds by saying she never
stops talking and her clients don't get a chance to say anything so
they no opportunity to convey information.
Are the spirits with her all the time
or can she turn it off. She says yes, she can turn off the spirits
when she needs or wants but she still feels their presence. She said
that right then she had shut out the voices but had a headache, a
heaviness in her head, knowing they are there trying to communicate
through her.
Ms. Caputo allowed the spirits through
and communicated their message to loved ones in the audience. She
heard from a mother who passed away and wanted to let her daughter
know that she went above and beyond in caring for her. The mom wanted
her daughter to know that didn't say goodbye because she couldn't let
go while her daughter was there. Her mom wanted to thank her and say
goodbye.
Another audience member lost a son
suddenly, unexpectedly in Iraq. He was a Navy Seal who left behind a
wife and 3 kids. The son showed Ms. Caputo a tattoo his mother got in
memory of his death. She told the mother that her sons soul is always
with her, she even brought him to the studio that day. He says he
heard the mother's prayers and he will be there to greet her father
who is terminally ill.
Ms. Caputo asked if the mother just
felt a chill. She answered yes. The son told Ms. Caputo that he just
passed through her and wanted her to know it was him.
Whose sister died recently, she asked?
Did she ask the sister to appear today? Yes. The sister wanted the
family to know she did not suffer. Was she crushed, or did something
happen to her chest? Yes, she died during 9/11. She did not suffer.
Several spirits connected with
different people from different families were speaking to Ms. Caputo
at the same time. A woman who died dramatically wanted her sister
remember as she was before she became sick and that her sister
shouldn't feel guilty. The woman said the sister should not worry
that an earlier diagnosis would have saved her that responsibility is
not hers.
Dr. Oz Harness Your Own Intuition
Anyone can learn to open up to
communications from departed loved ones. Ms. Caputo shares three
steps to be more receptive to the message.
Dr. Oz Harness Intuition #1: Listen
for the Message
Anything odd, weird, or coincidence is
your loved one trying to talk to you. Loved ones who come through in
a dream, when you remember the person vividly upon waking that is a
visitation, the departed letting you know they are there.
When you're compelled to turn on the
radio then a favorite song comes on it is a loved one talking to you.
When something important happens that is connected to a departed
loved one, Ms. Caputo says it's the loved one talking, telling you
then are with you at that moment.
It's real, it's not imagination she
says.
Dr. Oz Harness Intuition #2: Release
Your Fear
Ms. Caputo says you can't have faith in
fear. She says to embrace the symbols. Meditation and quieting the
mind can help people hear messages from departed loved ones. Why do
the departed, people as her, speak at night while sleeping? The mind
is at rest, she says and the message can be heard.
For Ms. Caputo, her best information
comes when she's in the shower, while drying her hair, or when
vacuuming, that's when her mind is at rest. During meditation, people
can learn how to connect with spirit.
Dr. Oz Harness Intuition #3: Try
Automatic Writing
Ms. Caputo gets a feeling or gets a
flash of a picture but often won't understand the meaning. To help
clarify the messages she write them down in a journal, words or
pictures, and later on the meaning will present itself.
Dr. Oz The Truth About Flip-Flops
It's the staple shoe of summer but
could it be harming your feet? Dr. Oz says flip-flops may seem
comfortable but they present the trifecta of foot problems: thin
straps, a thin sole, and no arch support.
Dr. Oz Flip-Flop Danger #1: Thin
Sole
The thin sole of a flip-flop leaves it
vulnerable for injury. Walking around, especially through the streets
of New York, any sharp object can easily puncture the shoe injuring
the foot. Dr. Oz says he sees injuries like that all the time.
Dr. Oz Flip-Flop Danger #2: Plantar
Fasciitis
Wearing flip-flops can change how you
walk. There are many bones in the feet and many bones make-up the
arch of the foot. Running from the heel to the ball of the foot is
the connective tissue called the plantar fasciitis. When the arch is
supported, the plantar fasciitis is loose but with a flat shoe it is
taut which can cause problems.
A bone spur at the heel holds onto the
connective tissue. As the plantar fasciitis stretches and it pulled
from repetitively wearing flat shoes, that natural bone spur cuts
into the muscle and skin causing pain that feels like a nail going
through the foot.
Dr. Oz Flip-Flop Danger #3: Buy
a Study Flip-Flop
Dr. Oz says it's possible to wear your
flip-flops and support your foot health too.
- Avoid a thin soled heel yet don't go higher than 2 inches in the heel;
- Find a flip-flop with arch support; and,
- The thong strap should be wide and thick to diffuse pressure over the top of the foot.
Orthaheels
have shoes that fit all these requirements in a flip-flop that starts
at $40.00.
Dr Oz Tips For The Worst Allergy
Season
Dr. Oz shares four simple things to get
relief from allergies today.
Dr.
Clifford Bassett, MD, Allergy and Asthma Care of New York, says
there are many things people do that make their allergies worse.
Over-the-counter medications such as nasal sprays could be making
allergy symptoms worse. It's important, says Dr. Bassett, to see an
allergist to determine a treatment program matched to your individual
needs. Dr. Bassett says he often finds patients who have chosen an
concoction that is not right for their allergies.
Dr. Oz Fight Allergies #1: Pollen
Check
Know what you're allergic to, monitor
pollen counts and when it's a windy day you may need to stay indoors.
Dr. Oz Fight Allergies #2: Watch
What You Eat
Foods can cross react with allergies,
says Dr. Bassett. This tip shocked Dr. Oz. Fresh fruit especially can
aggravate allergies causing tingling in the mouth and throat. Apples,
pears, and peaches are common culprits.
People who suffer from tree allergies
can also have a reaction from eating fresh fruit. A protein in fruit
makes the body think it's eating pollen. Dr. Bassett says to remove
the peel from the fruit or cook it.
Nut flavored coffee, hazelnut and
almond are related to trees and therefore can also cause that cross
reaction of tingling.
Dr. Oz Fight Allergies #3: Irrigate
Your Eyes
Dr. Bassett recommends wiping the
eyelids gently to remove pollen. When washing the face, use a
washcloth to gently wipe the lid or buy wipes specially designed for
the eye lids.
Dr. Oz Fight Allergies #4: Know
Your Merv
The Merv scale denotes the strength of
an air filter. Dr. Bassett says allergy sufferers should look for
filters that list a filtration value of 11-12. A HEPA filter is also
important, it removes 99.7% of allergens in the home.
Dr. Oz Outrageous Health Trends
Dr.
Oz talks about outrageous health trends, which ones work and which
ones are really outrageous?
Dr.
Oz Outrageous Health Trend #1: Squatty
Potty for Perfect Poop
The
Squatty Potty says it will
create a better bathroom experience. Dr. Oz says it works! The
Squatty Potty lifts the legs
to get your core in the perfect poop position. When sitting on the
toilet the anal core is squashed and sometimes, says Dr. Oz, there's
no where for the poop to go. The Squatty
Potty opens that core to allow the poop to expel easily.
Cost
for the Squatty Potty: $29.95
online
Dr.
Oz Outrageous Health Trend #2: Sand
Therapy for Joint Pain
Sand
therapy involves immersing the entire body in sand, warm heat
provides soothing relief to the joint, cooling can also be applied to
support healthy inflammation. Dr. Oz says it works but not everyone
has the ability to immerse themselves in warm sand.
Dr.
Oz also recommends Dr.
School's Arctic Hot/Cold Mini Massager. The Mini Massager can
provide soothing heat or cold with vibrating movement to simulate a
massage.
Dr.
Oz Outrageous Health Trend #3: Snake
Therapy Massage for Muscle Pain
Some
spas use snakes to massage away muscle pain. Dr. Oz says it doesn't
work for a bunch of good reasons. People can't relax with snake
slithering on them and snakes cannot put selective pressure onto
aching muscles.
As
an alternative to snakes, Dr. Oz recommends rubbing castor oil on the
sore area then covering it with plastic wrap and applying a heating
pad.
Dr. Oz Bonus Tips! More Allergy
Relief Tips
Dr.
Oz Allergy Relief Tip #1: Pepper
Nasal Spray
Dr.
Oz recommends a nasal spray that combines cayenne pepper and
horseradish. He says there will be a little burning sensation which
means it's working. Cost: about $15.00.
Dr.
Oz Allergy Relief Tip #2: Cold
Compress
To
support puffy eyes, Dr. Oz recommends using a cool compress over the
eyes. Keep the compress in the refrigerator then apply when needed to
shrink swelling around the eyes.
Dr.
Oz Allergy Relief Tip #3: Hypoallergenic
Bedding
Dr.
Oz recommends paying extra attention to your bedding. Hypoallergenic
bedding – pillows, pillow cases, mattress pad - can help to reduce
irritations from allergies.
