Can Oprah and Doctor Oz solve the cold mouse hand problem?

Dear Oprah & Doctor Oz.... help us solve the cold mouse hand problem!

Searching for an answer to define the "cold mouse hand" syndrome, Oprah and Doctor Oz were sent an online letter. We haven't heard back from them, and if/when we do, you'll read about it here.

Here's what we wrote:

Many people may not be aware of a condition called "Cold Mouse Hand." It affects computer users who work using a computer mouse. It's not carpal tunnel and shouldn't be confused with other mouse hand medical conditions. I believe the "cold mouse hand" problem is a fairly new discovery.

I started using a computer in the early 90's, and I owned and operated an ecommerce site for over 12 years. My work required me to sit in front of a computer using the mouse. A/C offices, fans, drafts and chilly weather would cause my mouse hand to get so cold my finger tips would become numb. The only relief to the cold mouse hand was to stop working, and that was not an option. I tried pulling a sweater over my mouse hand and wear fingerless gloves to keep it warm and that didn't work. I bought computer gadgets that promised to keep the mouse hand warm, and they were either non-ergonomic, caused pain, or were too small.

In February 2007, after suffering from a cold mouse hand for many years, I decided to obtain a provisional patent for a "Mouse House Hand Warmer" to address and fix the problem. But, I was still too busy operating my business to do anything with the patent.

In May 2008, I sold my ecommerce site and decided to research the cold mouse hand problem to focus on a solution. I was surprised to discover the problem was experienced by many people.

In June 2008, I made a Mouse Hand Warmer using blanket fabric, tested the prototype, and it worked. The Mouse Hand Warmer was born! I don't suffer anymore from a cold mouse hand.

If Doctor Oz finds the mouse hand syndrome, not carpal tunnel, but the "cold mouse hand" problem, an interesting, new topic, please ask him to shed some light on this mysterious computer geeks' situation. If you look for little inventions to address new problems, I will participate by sharing the problem and the solution with your audience. I hope you find this story and it's solution unique and worthy of a discussion topic.

Nights are getting chilly: Keep your hands warm

We sit and work for long hours at the computer every day. There's really no relief in sight. Most of us have jobs or hobbies that keep us glued to the screen with our hand on the mouse. We've battled with avoiding illness and pain associated with the computer mouse by using an ergonomic mouse and gel mouse pads. Yet, one of the most obvious items we seem to neglect is the exposed mouse hand that gets cold during certain temperature conditions.

Some people call the Mouse Hand condition "mouse hand." Others refer to cold mouse hand as a result of poor circulation. Whether it's one or the other, the solution is keeping the mouse hand warm and covered by a warm Mouse Hand Warmer.

Customer Testimonial: Mouse Hand Warmer blanket

by Sally Montaine

I had my doubts. I was skeptical and didn't think this little gadget would actually keep my mouse hand warm, and I was wrong. The Mouse Hand Warmer is like crawling inside and under warm covers. It's made of a fleece blanket material and actually insulates the heat generated from my body. I used to work hours on end with a freezing cold mouse hand. Now, using the Mouse Hand Warmer, my cold mouse hand is relieved, and I can work as long as I need.

The Mouse Hand Warmer has a non slip surface and lots of room inside to move my hand as needed. I use a standard sized mouse pad and a very large ergonomic shaped mouse inside the hand warmer. Last week I had to travel to Canada. I packed the Mouse Hand Warmer with my laptop. When I arrived, I forgot to pack my mouse pad. That was not a problem. The Mouse Hand Warmer's bottom works as a mouse pad, too. I was all set. The room I had in Canada was quite chilly. I was able to prepare my presentation without pain or a cold mouse hand.

If you are considering a computer gadget to relieve "mouse hand," you should consider this new item being introduced online this year.

Cold Hands, Cold Feet, Circulation and Cholesterol

Do your hands get cold? Solutions for cold hands.

By Richard Heft

The body is like a car. If you want to be a good mechanic, you have to learn the whole car, read the entire manual, cover to cover, several times or more before you become proficient. knowledgeable. While all my parts, articles have a whole view and answers, they are by no means whole. Do not be fooled by the part. Learn and obey the whole (body), otherwise, you will be punished by the part, i.e. cold hands and feet.

The body digests, transforms food, nutrients into blood into structure into function, into health or disease.

There are only two kinds of nutrients in food: building and cleansing. Building nutrients (protein and fat) build, fuel and warm. Cleansing nutrients, foods (water, minerals, sugar, fruit, vegetables ad grains) reduce, cleanse, cool and moisten.

Protein and fat (meat, eggs, chicken, fish, cheese, beans, etc.) build, fuel and warm the heart, hands, feet, etc. Low protein, low fat (milk, yogurt, beans, nuts, seeds, yeast, spirulina, etc.) and high carbohydrate (pasta, bread, salads, tropical fruits, juices, smoothies, cold drinks, etc.) diets, in the extreme, tend to weaken, thin and cool the blood, which in turn, weakens, thins and cools the body, especially the extremities: head, hands and feet.

Low protein and low fat diets weaken all function, including digestion.

Too many cleansing foods, drinks, especially raw vegetables, salads, tropical and citrus fruits, juices, sodas and or cold drinks, in the extreme, tend to dilute and weaken digestion, acid and enzymes, reducing nutrient absorption, blood, energy, elimination, etc. while increasing coldness, weakness, shaking, dampness (excess moisture, mucous, phlegm, cysts, etc.), pallor, etc.

Decreased blood supply via menstruation, hemorrhage, chronic illness and or surgery can also thin the blood and reduce circulation.

Poor circulation also tends to cause coldness, especially in the extremities. It can be caused by blood clots (thrombus), embolism (blocked blood vessel), infarction (area of dead tissue), arteriosclerosis, cirrhosis, excess weight (obesity), chronic illness, menstruation, hemorrhage and or extremely cold weather. In each case, the source of coldness will be clearly identified.

High cholesterol, arteriosclerosis, cirrhosis, etc. tends to reduce circulation producing coldness in the extremities. The coldness, however is short lived, intermittent as clogged arteries, veins, etc. It increase pressure and energy which in turn increases temperature, this heats as do high protein and high fat diets.

Lasting coldness (hours, days, weeks, etc.) is generally created by deficiency via diet (low protein, low fat, fasting), menstruation, hemorrhage, surgery, chronic illness and or environment. It is natural during the winter for the hands and feet to become cold, shaky as blood rushes back into the abdomen and chest to protect, nourish and warm the vital organs. It is also the reason why hot remedies (hot baths, soups, herbs, etc.) are generally used in the treatment of colds, especially at the onset.

A certain amount of occasional coldness in the hands and feet is normal. Too much is abnormal.
