Yes, I am glad I am not the only one who thought that was a lie.

If you pay attention, which is very difficult given the circus atmosphere and noise (meant to distract the viewer, I am sure),
you will find lies and contradictions in every show.

I am trained in nuance and to detect lying because of my job, and so I really pay attention. I've seen enough of Dr. Oz to make ME sick!

The show he had about Vit D started off in 5min to be hopefully useful. But he undermined all the data, and the recommendations were empty and not in tune with each example given. What a mess it turned out to be!

His vaccination show I saw on YouTube, back when we were all being pushed into getting the H1N1 vaccine. That truly was a travesty...and set me up forever to distrust Dr. Oz.

I think he is tired of surgery, and wanted $$ and fame, as you noticed as well. The slobbering over him, hugging, kissing, touching, is a real put off for me! His audience does everything but bow down on the floor to him! blech
