Dr. Oz is a joke.

Yeah, I got to agree with you here. He promotes a lot of crap and get thin quick schemes a lot. It is really disappointing. It's obvious that he is a business man trying to make a dime, I bet he doesn't believe half the stuff he "sells".
Some of the things he talks about are legit, but the others...yikes.0 -
Lucky me; I don't watch T.V. so Dr. Oz isn't even on my radar. (but I have heard of him)0

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. I stopped watching along time ago because of it.. :laugh:0
-
He's been a total sellout for at least a year. Can't even watch anymore since it's such bad advice!!!0

it's amazing what some people will do for fame. by all accounts, until Oprah plucked him from obscurity, he was a very well regarded heart surgeon. he surely doesn't need the money from TV to live well (although syndicated TV money does put you in a completely different tax bracket), so it must be all about the fame. i've never in my life wanted to be famous. i don't get why some people want it so desperately.0 -
I just find it annoying how all of these ladies from the audience drool over him...really???0
-
He is funded by all those sponser's to promote what is hot at the current moment.
I am sure he does not believe in any of that ****. He is a cardiothoracic surgeon, his goal isn't to make people healthy but to keep himself making money. Oprah made a monster.0 -
total joke, which makes the actually useful medical information seem silly !0
-
Have you looked at his audience? Obviously the snake oil he promotes doesn't do much for weight loss!0

I'm right there with you. Gave up TV about a year ago cuz it is just full of garbage like this quack.0 -

but dr oz says.....
LOL...I walk around the house saying this to my husband, because he swears by Dr. Oz.0 -
I was seriously just having this conversation with my boyfriend yesterday.0

I stopped watching these types of shows because each one says something different. There is no one cure for anything for everyone. Everyone is different and what may work for one, may not work for another. Some of the things said on these shows is good advice and give you questions to ask your doctor if you run into those types of problems, but you still have to be careful and be mindful.0

I've never really watched Dr. Oz because I've gotten bored with talk shows and such. Besides, I have my own weight-loss plan:
1. Watch what I eat.
2. Watch how much I eat.
3. Drink plenty of water.
4. Exercise more.
As you can see, I've got NO diet drugs, diet plans, or diet shakes anywhere in my plan. I've lost 43 pounds since being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in January. However, like queenstl said, it all depends on each individual. And I'm definitely NOT looking for a quick-scheme plan. I'd trust that as much as touching a power line without knowing whether it was live!0 -
He use to be sensible, but now I think he is a quack0

I don't watch his TV show. I watched a bunch of his old videos/interviews when I was taking my health class, where he was actually talking about the heart and things he knows about, and he was really informative.0

I don't live in the US so I've never seen his show, but I do know that he advised homeopathic remedies as a viable cure for a headache and thus would never, ever take anything he says seriously. You'd get more success from a course of leeches.0
