    I just came on here to see if this was shared yet. #OzsInbox has been a very entertaining hashtag on Twitter this morning.

    Makes me happy to know that the general population realizes that 'Dr.' Oz is a snakeoil salesman and a total windbag B)

    I don't mind salespeople being deceptive about the stuff they're selling. I expect salespeople to lie.

    I do mind it when someone is pretending that they're giving sound, medical advice. It's wrong on so many levels.

    They should yank his license.

    I would ask him how he sleeps at night...But he probably sleeps on a huge pile of money..

    And rightly so, he's a charlatan and a crook who makes piles of cash from exploitoing people's desperation and vulnerability.

    "You've told us to eat low-carb, low-fat, paleo, and vegan diets. I've been eating them all daily- why am I gaining so much weight? #OzsInbox" LOL!

    I loved this too (I only saw one - the one from the person who had just received the flu shot and was wondering when he could expect to develop autism).

    My son is autistic and intellectually delayed. Until I put her in her place, my BIL's current girlfriend was constantly bombarding me with messages about "how to get (my) son back." (That's weird, I thought he was right here!) Yep, they're rife with Oz-esque comments.

    I actually told her at one point that if she didn't stop, I was blocking her from my phone. This was while my family was on vacation, and she texted me so continuously over a period of several hours that my text usage (I'm on limited) was filling up faster than I could delete. I was getting new texts AS I deleted which is why I couldn't keep up.

    Funny, her "methods" for "getting these kids back!!!" keep changing with the wind - Oz would be proud! :lol: ETA: Oh, and she ALWAYS touts "her website" and her "catering business" while doing this - I have a feeling Oz would like that too.
  • In the beginning, he was actually accurate. At some point he stopped trying to teach science, but instead started to create it.

    How to get your son back...When people say stuff like that in reference to autism I get so upset.

    He's clearly all about the money.

    This is true. He played it safe long enough to get the trust of a bunch of viewers, and then he pulled out the money-making pseudoscience. He did it pretty gradually, too. Started introducing a new homeopathic remedy every once in a while and making claims that were annoying but not too incredibly out there like that it's important to buy multivitamins from large companies. It made him seem like a reasonable doctor who mostly stuck to what they taught in med school but had no problem acknowledging it if he found a naturopathic solution that worked. He sort of eased his viewers into the "new Dr. Oz" so the change wouldn't seem as outrageous.

    He uses the word miracle so often, I started to hear a Spanish accented voice in my head saying, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

    He looks scary in the clips showing him in the hearing
