If one more person quotes "Dr. Oz" to me on health advise, I am going to lose it. He is a snake oil salesmen who takes advantage of the gullible.

Agreed! That's why I posted this piece. I thought John Oliver did a great job at showing the world what Dr. Oz is really about. It so sad since he could be using his influence for wonderful things that are actually benefitting humanity.

I agree 100%... He mixes information about real health issues with the latest and greatest new pill or supplement or whatever. He must get advertising dollars for all the products he hawks on his show.

Thanks for sharing this! So funny, yet such a sober reminder to not trust any advertising claims about supplements.

I thought it was on the spot. Dr Oz likes to use those big descriptive words to wow his audience.

I usually flip the channel if I ever see him on :-)

OMG I just watched this and it's so funny and so true. It's sad that we take someone who could be very affective and really create change in the world by using his celebrity and scyndicated show.

I have people that I work with that follow him like he is a God among doctors even as they fail to go and see their own physicians! Dr. Oz said this and that on TV so it must be true and this and that pill can make me better and help me lose weight and cure my cancer or stop me from getting cancer. Soooo sad and even sadder that people who should know better and be smarter follow along like sheep rather then taking care of themselves and checking in with their Dr. for regular check ups.

You can simply apply this bull shit to just about every product that is endorsed by big business. This man is now becoming dangerous like others before him. Started out just trying to help and then greed and his own voice made him into a lying two bit hustler like all the others with no regard for human health or well being!

Time for Dr. Oz to leave. I know I would hold the door open for him! Will they ever wake up!

[Terry Poperszky 2,784]

Will they ever wake up!

Nope. Not as long as people are looking for a miracle/magical pill that takes away personal responsibility. Just think how many fad diets have been tried by the participants of this board.
