I think Dr. Oz is a quack and is out for the money. He looks like he had a facelift. Truly noticeable.
In the beginning he seemed like a nice guy but notoriety got to him.
Too bad. Now I don’t believe anything he says.

everyone should be educated in basic medicine… and human diseases and health… most of us can do very well with the basics, instead of having to rely on “experts” who have money making motives.. learning how to evaluate medical claims… is more important than learning about any number of other things..

Dr Oz is nothing but a big commercial board for companies that can’t sell their products without his aid and he makes a huge profit on those items he promotes. Wonder if he cares about what he is doing to people that actually believe in him, because he is a heart surgeon and people feel that he would not steer them wrong.
Aside from promoting all the stuff that he is promoting on his show, each week something different and the health effect that it may have on some people the financial hardship he causes can be devastating.
He has promoted so many diet solutions stating that if you take this pill or that pill you don’t have to exercise or go on a diets and you will lose all the weight you want to, knowing full well that that is a bunch of bull, but he is making a fortune what does he care.

Supplements, “cures” for cancer, anti-aging foods. It’s frightening!

Carolyn, you are so right. I saw one of his shows a few weeks back where I think his show was entirely about supplements. I was thinking what is he trying to sell? But what does the average person know. They take it all in. I try to research anything that I may take or my parents take which is how I came across your site. Keep up the good work!!

Bruce, my father is a doctor and, funnily enough, drives a honda. He has also never accepted any “perks” (vacations etc) offered by numerous drug companies. There are some great doctors out there who take the high road and also take really good care of their patients. Don’t paint everyone in the medical profession with the same brush.

Thanks so much for your comments, Dr. P – interesting that your mother enjoys his “showmanship”, which is the very thing (aside from those iffy medical facts!) that most annoys me. He is indeed a popular and powerful voice. When he speaks, people do listen, whether he’s right or not.
Cheers,
C.

Correct that “reaches millions” part. Oz is peddling his wares in India now too. So, the correct number would be “billions”. And as a nation that officially recognized ayurveda/homeopathy/snake oil as proper medical disciplines and actually grants our tax money to teach these to people and qualify them, we are just primed for his kind of namby pamby BS.

Well written. I caught a couple of episodes, and I must say if I could keep the medical side of my brain anesthetized, I would enjoy it. My mom is a lawyer and she seemed to love his showmanship and the way he handled the whole audience. The show was, of course, utterly ridiculous as he stated a myriad unscientific shit in one episode itself…

Its a pity to know that he started off as a good doctor and how he has degenerated… oh what a fall we had, my countrymen!

Drs. ZDogg and ZDadd MD – what a pair you are. Your dad’s adorable. Now stay away from Coke. And his stethoscope. And microwave popcorn, of course . . .

Yes! I’m totally honored, your sites are awesome! BTW, just read your microwave popcorn piece…reminds me of my dad’s rants about “phenteric acid and butic oxide” in this video:

Keep up the OUTSTANDING work sistah!

Are you kidding me? I’m a longtime fan. In fact, I was going to repost your ‘Code Gold: The Greatest CPR Hits EVER!’ on my other site, Heart Sisters, but thought it might be a bit much for some of my newly-diagnosed cardiac survivors over there. Instead, I’ll just invite folks to check it out for themselves here.
