    I have to say that recipe online is awful. "green powder" is that some kind of voodoo? How could anyone post that recipe and think that it was useful to anyone. Good luck OP.

    I think green powder means powdered greens. Literally greens that have been powdered. I'm not sure if I buy into it, but I guess the point of them is to make it easier to throw into smoothies. Personally, I'd rather eat my greens.

    Me too.

    Anyway, the recipe does sound awful, which is hardly surprising.

    At this point Dr. Oz just has to be trolling to see how much derp he can get people to swallow.

    Like..."Hmmm...if I can get people to take nutrition advice from CHARLIE SHEEN, then I should be able to rule the world some day!"

    Bee pollen? Wtf is bee pollen? Does not compute.

    It is the pollen in the hives that has not been completely converted into honey yet.

    I guess my next question is, why?

    Supposedly it has magical health giving properties.

    Pollen does not turn to honey, nectar does. Pollen is just what it says it is, the pollen collected by bees as they collect nectar to make honey. Both are used as food by bees.

    Me too, but I did get a small tub of it for after my surgery when I have to eat pureed foods only for 1-2 weeks. I can't eat raw veggies or fruit, only juice-type preparations.

    Thanks for the clarification. Obviously I am not a bee keeper, nor do I buy into the bee pollen, royal jelly hype.

    It's actually kind of delicious (at least I think so). My dad used to buy local bee pollen when I was a kid and we would add it to our cereal, it's kind of sweet and chewy.

    I think in the show they said he no longer has aids? Or showed on the test? I think. I clearly did hear he quit taking his prescriptions. But his inflation in his body was through the roof.

    What does it matter? Do you have HIV? If so, DON'T LISTEN TO RANDOM PEOPLE ON A FORUM, LISTEN TO YOUR DOCTOR SPECIALIZING IN HIV AND AIDS! If not, again, why are you worried about what Charlie Sheen is taking for HIV when he's a celebrity with no real knowledge of virology or immunology?

    While you're absolutely right, I thought I'd offer you this:

    Huh?

    And if it's on Dr. Oz, it's bogus anyway.

    Charlie Sheen was on Dr. oz, and he says he is no longer HIV positive because his blood tests should an undetectable amount of the virus. HOWEVER, he can still pass on the disease as the viral load in other bodily fluids can be higher even if the blood test shows otherwise. He will have to be on HIV medication for the rest of his life.

    Dr. Oz is actually a great surgeon, but he bought into his own hype and now shills anything and everything.

    There was recently an entire thread about alternative "medicine" in which posters advocated foregoing proven medical intervention in favor of folklore and plants. Having watched a family member die of AIDS, I fully appreciate @senecarr's vociferous admonishment about where to seek treatment advice.

    Next time on Dr. Oz, dating advice, attraction and why dating apps aren't great. Not even kidding. Watch for it in the next few weeks.

    Dr. Oz. Heart surgeon, nutritionist and now love doctor. What will he be expert in next, home repair?

    I was empathizing with the frustration I imagine he feels, not disagreeing.

    I only clicked because I saw Charlie Sheen and Dr. Oz in the same title. I have to say, I am sadly disappointed at the lack of mean people in this thread.
