Why do people listen to Dr. Oz?

    I watched Dr Oz almost every day. By being a consistant viewer I found out that he would tell you to eat something for your health one week and the next week would tell you to cut that food out of your diet. He would say that drinking 3 cups of coffee a day would help regulate your blood pressure but then a week later would say stop drinking coffee and switch to herbal teas. Now anything he says I don't believe because he'll probably contradict himself within a week.

    I don't get why people listen because they obviously DON'T listen or they'd have heard what this poster wrote. I used to like Dr. Oz and I've learned a bit from his shows but now finding real information on his show is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. I swear Dr. Oz wasn't always like this. I used to watch and now I can't believe I ever did.
    What happened to the truth tube?? Stopped doing that...

    Right? I remember that totally. This is one of those things that has gone...

    I'm referring to those who buy into everything he says...supplements...alternative medicines that may/may not work...people who base their weight loss and health off of what he says...

    I have a contrary nature, so when I see people saying "Dr Oz is wrong about everything" (I paraphrase), I want to leap to his defence. Even though I'm not necessarily a fan.

    In the interest of fairness, I want to say that western medicine also may or may not work, depending on what is happening. And just like I need to assess what Dr Oz is saying, I also have to do the same with my own doctor, and do my own research and find out everything I can. We always need to think critically and ask questions, no matter where advice is coming from.

    So, Dr Oz haters, how long seen you've actually seen the show? I periodically flip it on, and I don't see him selling stuff. In fact, I saw him distancing himself from products with his name on them (apparently counterfeit). I see him bringing in specialists who are knowledgeable in their fields. I see him encouraging people to eat less and move more. So what's the problem, exactly? That he isn't always right? Given the nature of being human, we need to allow for that.

    Reason: MONEY! The guy is a quack.. just because he has a MD to his name, people believe everything he says.
