Dr. Oz, snake oil merchant extraordinaire!
Once again we see that Oprah seems to be really good at finding shysters and crackpots to push "the truth".

Steve Novella will appear today, I suppose as the evil skeptic to shill for the Evil Doctors hiding the Truth about Alternative Medicine - because as far as I know, none of my doctors are "afraid" of altie medicine. They just ignore it as IRRELEVANT and USELESS.

1. Actually, my doctor is afraid of alternative medicine.
Why, all I have to do is mention reiki and a pallor is cast over his face before falling to his knees and blubbering something about is summer home and his yacht.

:rofl:

2. if "alternative" "medicine" were only irrelevant and useless, that would be one thing.
But the larger problem is that much of this snake oil is actively dangerous.
