We have a similar thread on Medications about the same program. Only the links there swarm you with Allegra commercials!

Basically Dr. Oz starts off with this intense baiting statements, and his show then fizzles out and never delivers...or delivers a lame weak answer, or even an incorrect answer. When I watch and that is not regularly but I do watch maybe one show a week, I find major errors. Sometimes simple ones...like the insomnia show where everyone wore PJs on the set. They were discussing B6 and vivid dreaming, and had a clip of Dr. Oz... who said he took his B6 every night at bedtime. Showed him doing it and getting his dream log ready and setting his clock--- only the bottle said in BIG letters B12 on it.

His D show was a total fizzle...with him saying in the beginning, you can't get it from food. So then he tells a diabetic with a blood reading of 35 to eat mushrooms! (some mushrooms have D2 in them if they are exposed to light---but D2 is not the active form in human bodies). He focused on 3 people with low blood work, and told them each lame advice. A women at 7, to take 2000 IU D3 a day (not enough), and a woman at 25 to take Cod Liver Oil... which has 1000IU and is not enough, as well. High dose cod liver oil has retinol in it, known to interfere with D absorption and utilization in the body!

This show about drug companies did not reveal much. The sales rep even was given about 1 minute air time! The show 60minutes revealed far more about Merck's secrets when the Vioxx problem hit the fan.

When the guy from Pfizer asked Dr. Oz if he prescribed statins in his practice....Dr. Oz hesitated quite noticably, and said no.
I've seen him on other shows where he says he gives statins to his patients!

His show is like a carnival. "Step right up and see the cure for what ails you!" Loud, distracting side show antics, and in the end....not much substance at all. He cannot deliver, you see, and keep his sponsors. Walgreen's where you buy your Big Pharma drugs, and the Big Pharma ads, like Allegra.

The shows are loud and irritating...worse than any game show.
Women worshiping him, screaming, kissing him, sometimes more than once, etc. Remove all that, and there is very little substance. Just my opinion!
