Really, get a grip. Dr. Oz is a TV doctor and nobody is paying him for lifesaving medical advice. The bureaucrats of the medical and pharmaceutical industry always come down hard on anyone who mentions practicing medicine without using prohibitively expensive drugs or costly diagnostic, lawsuit-shielding tests.

The shills for the medical establishment come out in full force to protect their enormous profits. I am surprised people on DU are repeating the propaganda of these paid critics.

of foods. And that supports my link-My link is about prop 37 I know the link you list describes Dr. Oz as not being a friend of organics and while that might be true-I don't know. I don't watch much T.V. but I've caught different talk shows including Dr. Oz's in waiting rooms. However my post is about Dr. Oz being smeared for supporting prop. 37. I'm sure organics support prop. 37 and that's were the common ground might be.


"According to Right to Know, a certain Dr. Henry I. Miller, who is identified solely as "Founding Director, Office of Biotechnology of the Food & Drug Administration" in the guide, does not actually work for the FDA in any capacity. Thus, his listing in the guide blatantly violates U.S. Criminal Code 912, which prohibits individuals from assuming or pretending to be federal employees."

Mike Adams is the quack who calls himself the "Health Ranger." He is a frequent guest on Oz's afternoon woo-feats, along with fellow travelers Joseph Mercola and Vani Hari.

To avoid "entertainments" featuring any of the performers you mentioned, they still are not 'washouts' in any sense of the word.

They're sill pullin' 'em in and making a bundle. Superannuated they may be; washouts, hardly.

She does not however go into his lack of support for organics, truthiness, or popularity, or other issues that many people know about.

She is a supporter of food labeling and a ace investigative reporter and put together some tell tale signs of silencing a supporter of food labeling.
