    I find it interesting that the two main "docs" made famous by Oprah's show have both become these peddlers of sensationalism. I used to like Dr Phil when he was on Oprah's show and first started his show, but now he's like the Jerry Springer of therapy. Same for Dr Oz...

    It's even more amusing when you compare the two in another way. If Phil would listen to Oz, and Oz weren't full of *kitten* most of the time, he wouldn't be fat anymore. If Oz would listen to Phil, and Phil wasn't full of *kitten* most of the time, maybe Oz could stop being a professional pathological liar.

    Could someone tell me what "kitten" means??

    That's how MFP censors bad words. :wink:

    BRILLIANT

    Anyone try the foreign language versions to see if you get *kitten* in different tongues?

    Edit: Never mind. I entered "Scheisse" (i.e., "*kitten*" in German... uh... wait... how did I just get away with that .... *kitten* ?!?... ) in a German diskussion and got "Scheisse" right back in my face.

    Sometimes the love you make really is equal to the love you take.....

    It's MFP's language filter. In the case of my post, they were both the "bad word" for poo.

    Alas, we know that "Oz" is not on it.

    The most puzzling thing about The Great and Wonderful Oz is how he manages to stay on the staff of Columbia University. I speak, of course, as a layperson but I've always imagined that being a professor of surgery at a major teaching hospital would be kinda time consuming. If The Great and Wonderful Oz is able to keep up with medical advances, fulfill his duties at Columbia, write books and weekly newspaper columns, star in a TV series and all the other swell stuff he pulls off --- well, then we should definitely be following his health advice because he has the energy of a dozen people!!! (But if he still performs surgery from time to time, he better not come near me with a scalpel, that's all I can say.)

    @RalfLott as a moderator do you now not have the insight into what MFP consider to be naughty words?

    Haha, I'm out of the mod biz, but there were no surprises that I recall (sorry to say!).

    Dr. Oz may be a quack, but I recently went to a neurologist with my friend and her husband who has Alzheimer's. This was a new doctor for them and he put the husband on a ketogenic diet. Since I had been reading everything I could on it (apparently except Dr. Oz's book), I was stunned. The doc also said 3 to 4 TBL of coconut oil everyday. I was there to ask questions for my friend who doesn't have a medical background, but you could have knocked me over with a feather. I finally said to my friend "he is talking about the kind of diet I have been eating" and the doctor said to my friend "well, your friend here can help you with this!". He also said it wasn't "mainstream" but this is very good for Alzheimer's patients. So maybe the word is getting out to regular doctors. My own doctor has gone gluten free and lost 35 pounds.

    Just wanted to share the good news that some "real" doctors are advocating ketogenic diets. Oh, and this doctor gives his dog coconut oil and only food he prepares for it himself.

    @suzqtme Thanks for sharing this story last year. It was the heavy use of coconut oil back in 2014 that accidently put me into nutritional ketosis when on a hunch I cut out all added sugar and all forms of all grains Oct 2014 for pain management. It seems the term quack seldom is used by people with an earned doctorate.

    I when very heavy into coconut oil then shortly cut out sugar and grains but just 30 days later my joint and muscle pain levels of 7-8 for several decades dropped into the 2-3 level range and three years in I have tweaked it down to about a level of 1. Now I can get dressed and in and out of cars unaided.

    There is no way to know what factor or combo of factors put be back on the road of health recovery. Today at 66 my health and lab reports are better than a few decades ago.

    Do you know if the ketogenic diet helped the husband?

    Is it irony that I first learned that virgin coconut oil may help prevent Alzheimer's from an episode of Dr. Oz? Mmmmmm. Anyway, I did a little research and have been using it in coffee and smoothies since. Hope this is the case.
