Is Dr. Oz a con artist?

If you don't know - Oprah's new favorite Dr is Dr Oz. Apparently he is really a doctor - but he promotes all kinds of Pseudoscientific nonsense - such as homeopathy, past lives, etc. Oprah seems herself to promote a lot of Woo woo. My mom thinks Dr Oz is so great - some of what she said he had said seemed pretty suspect to me - then I saw a recent show he was promoting past life regression and read some of his other ideas. That told me he's full of shit. So do you think he's a con-artist or did he somehow manage to be a doctor while still being so delusional?

I guess some of the stuff he

I guess some of the stuff he says is true, like one time he had a show about men's health. I fact checked what he was saying men should do to stay healthy and everything checked out, save the circumcision bits. He did a pros and cons bit about circumcision, and it seemed like he was neutral on the issue, but it was really hard to tell what he thought about it. The guy seemed like he knew his shit, so it's terrible that he can promote supernatural bullshit and Oprah housewives will eat that shit up simply because he's on Oprah. Oh well. Idiocracy, here we come.

What sucks is if he would

What sucks is if he would just stick to regular medicine nobody would know who he was most likely - but he promotes that shit and gets rich and famous. Oprah gets into some pretty irrational stuff.

Oprah Power

If we could only get Oprah to recommend this site. Would that elevate or lower the reputation of this site? I bet it would only serve to crash the web server and force Oprah to buy Sapient some new hardware. I say make it so!

Remember how you figured out there is no Santa? Well, their god is just like Santa. They just haven’t figured out he’s not real yet.
