taking this or that shiny new drug (with the side effects mumbled through in a low voice at the speed of sound) - why go through the doctors.

guess is that people who believe The Oz Woo will ignore it,sadly.

are NOT part of the holistic healing world. Anyone who's into holistic healing knows that healthy eating and exercise are the ONLY ways to lose weight and keep it off.

Orac says that she basically called him a liar to his face.

Awesome stuff

article was a hoot.Love to see these morons exposed.

Which in this context is the last thing he should aspire to be. He should make objectively verifiable statements, rather than "cheering" for this or that fad simply to placate his audience and pump up his ratings.

my diabetes. The side effect for me was to lose weight so fast that they had to take me off it but not before my diabetes was finally under control. In other words it worked to help lose weight. Why can't the scientists isolate the factor in this drug and improve it so that they can use it as a real diet pill?

The real question is why should the pharmaceutical companies keep worrying about the cost of diabetic care when a real cure could be a good diet pill that works?

. . . Oz got an earful, not just from McCaskill.

Rec!

promoting products he knows are bogus. What a shame, as Sen. McCaskill says, that he misuses his megaphone. He doesn't need the money. And as a doctor he surely knows that drugs and gimmicks are never real weight loss tools. The only means of actually losing weight are holistic. Either a change of eating habits, or in some cases a fast to clean out toxins that are keeping the weight on. After taking a medication that caused me to balloon out uncontrollably, from 105 pounds to 160 pounds in just a few months (and this without eating more - I've never been a big eater). I had to do a juice fast to clean out the medication, and finally my body went back to normal.

Even the surgeries don't always work. I know a few people who have had the surgeries, and a few years later they are again crushing their bathroom scales.

I highly recommend a raw vegan diet. If you do it properly, you can get full nutrition, and the weight will drop off like leaves off the autumn trees, and stay off.

What a fraud.

and even worse are the mega-frauds that he frequently has as guests.

Psychic John Edwards? Mike "The Health Ranger" Adams? Joseph fucking Mercola?

I have heard of Edwards, but the others I have not heard of.
