Hi Ellen! I watch you every day on TV. I love what your doing and you are so wonderful as a person. And i think your doing a wonderful and amazing job. Hope I will have the chance to see you sometime. Maybe sing a song on you show. And i wonder what you are doing on your spare time are you with friends or work with things to your show? And I have one more question. Are you a friend of Jennifer Aniston? I wonder because she is one of the best and most beautiful actor/person i ever seen and she seem to be so nice and funny. You just have to love her, my dream is to be an actor.. and especially to meet Jennifer! =). I wish you good luck in the future ! God bless you. =) bye!
love

I love your new hair style
and your eyes look soo pretty and blue,
a fan. God Bless you and your wife.

Dear Ellen; Greetings! I'm watching your show and you are having back problems again and saying no to surgery. Please check out CERAGEM. I went to the ceragem free trial centre in edmonton, AB for a year and had a 40 minute far infrared back massage for a year 6 days a week for FREE. I know, free is free and so many people questioned that, but seriously you need to check it out, it really does work and the gentle stretching and the heat thru jade rollers is amazing. I saw people who had been in car accidents improve their health and other injuries and medication getting decreased because of the healing properities of daily massage. I know this will help you, please, please try it. Check white pages. Love and light, Cole ZG

Hi Ellen. I miss your video diaries. Please make some more.

BTW, I've been trying to get your attention about my quest (http://rawdorable.blogspot.com/2010/04/my-ellen-quest-for-raw-cupcake.html) and birthday wish (http://rawdorable.blogspot.com/2010/04/its-birthday-week.html) Sorry about all the tweets, but if I've learned anything from you (and Jeannie, too), it's that persistence pays off. Maybe you can do another video dairy post about this :-)

Hi Ellen and Kevin,

Just wanted to applaud your efforts towards going off sugar- I've been doing the same for over a month now, and occasionally I have hiccups and pay dearly for them, but going off sugar has been the first step of a larger effort to become more healthy overall, and I feel GREAT for the first time in years. It's not easy at first- at all. And every now and again I crave a bucket of candy corns or sea salt caramels, but I make sure to have plenty of fruit in the apartment for when I get a sweetness craving, and that usually works for me.

I decided to go off sugar because for the past two years (well, on and off my whole life, but in the past few years it has become very severe resulting in occasional hospitalization) I've had digestive problems, and have been tested, prodded and poked by G.I. doctors over and over again for the last two years with no result apart from discovering that I have a B-12 deficiency. When I lost my job in January (and my insurance as a result), I decided that I needed to find a natural way to control my symptoms (symptoms similar to those of Crohn's Disease, and though I have not yet been diagnosed, my brother does have Crohn's Disease). Although I've always had a fairly healthy diet, I had read about the possibilities of Elimination Diets in detecting food sensitivities and intolerances and thought, what the hell- it's not like I can go to the doctor anymore, so I might as well give it a shot. The elimination diet I started began with eliminating all refined/processed sugar, including honey, but not including alcohol. Alcohol and fruits are the next step, but it's best to do this gradually if you have digestive problems. After that, white flours, and all yeast-containing foods. This diet is geared specifically toward people who have digestive problems and is meant to be gradual so as not to shock an already sensitive G.I. tract, and is recommended under the supervision of a doctor for severe cases. The goal is to identify problem foods or food groups, and learn how to live without them.

Since I started this, over a month ago, I'm still on Step 1 (which is supposed to last for 1-3 months depending on my results) which is the sugar cleanse that you both are going through, and somewhat UNBELIEVABLY, I finally started feeling better last week! ALL BETTER! This is such an amazing breakthrough for someone who has been coping with IBD-like symptoms for such a long time. It's a debilitating and humiliating condition to have- it was effecting my work, my social situations, leisure time, vacation, EVERY aspect of my life. And since I've cut out sugar, I now feel like I have regained some control over my life. Now, I hope I'm not speaking too soon- because I've only been symptom free for a week and a half, but that's longer than I have been for the past few years! Keep your fingers crossed!

Just wanted to cheer you guys on (and myself, and any others out there who are trying this cleanse) because it really has made an enormous difference in my life, and I hope it will continue to be as restorative as it is right now.

If you're thinking about trying it, just do it! What have you got to lose?

Hello Ellen,

I have decided to challenge myself to be sugar free, and not eat anything processed for one month. I am only eating meat, vegetables, and fruit for food, and beverages consist of water, tea, and tomato juice. I also dont have any sugar substitute, such as splenda or aspertame. Nothing processed such as lunch meats, bread products, or even canned vegetables (packed in sugar usually). I allow myself to drink red wine( made from grapes, so natural sugar). I am doing this because several years ago my brother was diagnosed with Ulcerive Colitis, and was near the point of almost needing a colostomy. I happened to stumble upon a book that talked about how what we eat affects these type of diseases. My brother went on the diet, and has been several years ( about 13 I think) symptom free.
I thought if he can be so determined, and this diet affect his health in such a possitive way, I can at least attempt to try it for a month, and then hope that I will be accustomed to it, or at least make better choices after my month is up. I am only on day 4, but already feel better. I am 41, about 40 pounds over weight. I have risk factors for heart disease being that most of my weight is in the tummy area, and my mother has angina. I figure if I dont take control of my weight, and overall health now, I will be heading towards a heart attack in the near future.
I wish you all the luck in your sugar free diet. Be aware of all the hidden sugars in processed foods, but also remember that a gram of sugar wont kill you, stick to the main idea, any amount we can cut back is a step closer to better health.
