I agree he didn't write it, but he is responsible for the accuracy of the material on his website. The fact is he is medical doctor pretty much indicates that he is the one responsible for whatever is passed off as medical advice on those pages. Especially when so many people rely on him for medical advice instead of entertainment value. I would have expected to see some peer review before allowing material like that to be published.

I never heard of a band causing fecal matter to be released into the body, nor have I ever heard that bands deteriorate and will only last for ten years.

He's a snake oil salesman in a white coat. I watched about 3 episodes of his show and thought it was more like an infomercial than anything. I work in pharma so I may have a little more medical knowledge than the average non-medical person but I thought his exaggerated strung out object lessons on how the body works were ridiculous. How about real medical diagrams or animations like WebMD has.

Maybe raspberry flavored green coffee bean extract at 10 am every day could have kept ALL of us out of surgery...
