Medical claims on The Dr. Oz Show - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
A study by the British Medical Journal in 2014 concluded that less than half the claims made on The Dr. Oz Show were backed by "some" evidence, and that fell to a third when the threshold was raised to "believable" evidence.[2] The website Science-Based Medicine goes even further, claiming: "No other show on television can top The Dr. Oz Show for the sheer magnitude of bad health advice it consistently offers, all while giving everything a veneer of credibility."[3] What follows is a selection of claims lacking scientific evidence.
Yeah another tarded move by the tard in chief.
Come to think about it, that election wound is pretty deep.
Maybe putting a little colloidal silver on it might help...
Being OK with putting a known quack and fraudster in charge of a medical system doesn't bother you?
Talk about derangement.
Dr Oz is a qualified surgeon. Why are the Dems getting so upset.....LMAO

Ever seen the motherfucker's $20M Jersey mansion??? Guess bullshitting for scam medical supplements pays pretty good for Oz as well as Alex Jones.
He was a multi millionaire for years, he's a heart surgeon and professor. He did years of good shows, explaining medical issues and ailments not just supplements. Don't be so angry just because he got called in by Trump.
Oprah made Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil into stars, and both are staunch Trump supporters lol.
They both stumped for him and helped him to get elected while she stumped for Kamala and got the middle finger from America.

If Dr. Oz wore a wig and claimed to be a woman, he'd have their full support in his new role.Dr Oz is a qualified surgeon. Why are the Dems getting so upset.....LMAO

Dr. Phil has stated that he is not political...The speech he gave at the Trump rally in NYC about bullying appeared to contradict that. However he said he offered to do the same speech for the Harris event but was refused. Odd indeed.
He's a snake oil quack who has push many false medical claims for his own financial benefit..... in other words, a true Trumpian huckster!
Ignoring medical fraud which I mentioned above

He is utterly unqualified to have any role in a national health care service. He just as bad as Doctor Phil.
But hey, if Trump picked him, we must not dare question his qualifications. [being sarcastic.]
Which Mitchell apparently finds hilarious. Jeez if Trump put a Quaker in charge of the US military he would probably shit him self from the ha ha.
Trump could pretty much kick a 4 year old girl in the face and some of you people would be like. Meh, she was terminally ill, probably deserved it, you libs are just mad.
Much like Liberal supporters of TrueDooh, who glossed over his being a fan of basic Chinese dictatorship, of black face, of cultural appropriation and groping. But at least the polls show his support has dropped like a rock. You Trump cultists are well, cultists. Like Moe from the Simpsons chasing after Leader when he was exposed as a fake.
Mehmet was an excellent cardiothoracic surgeon but he's always liked being a media figure.Medical claims on The Dr. Oz Show - Wikipedia

Worked with him back in the late 90s and he was one of our go-to guys for media because he was very good at it.
Obvious even then he was ambitious and liked the microphone a lot.
None of us were shocked when he was the one who ended up with a TV gig.
In the years since it became very obvious the TV part of him was far more important than the doctor part.
Kinda like how Mike Homes went from Mr "do things right" to Mr :I'll put my name on shoddy subdivisions because fuck them" and Mr "After 10 years your roof will leak and you will get mold and zombies and Justin Beiber will come over to visit guaranteed and Mr "I'll st up a certified system but have no fucks to give if the people I approve are any good or not.
He was the man, wouldn't trust him to build a shed now.
I suppose Oz would still be the man if you need stents or a bypass or whatever it is they do these days if he wasn't out of practice for so long, but as a governmental leader of healthcare, he is dangerously non qualified, like RFK.
Seems all that "Trump Derangement" was just normal concern.
But remember any anti Trump view is libtard tears, even if like me, you are not a libteral. Even if concerned are raised by conservative news sources like The Economist and the Globe and Mail and well we all know Mitch McConnell, JD Vance, Mitt Romney and most of his Cabinet are just raging left wing lunatics.
For a couple of decades, every election I become more convinced that Monarchy is the best path.
Looked up medical fraud and OZ by major sites didn't find nothing

Most of his "medical advice" was discredited and was simply shit the supplements industry paid him to do. Hence the $20M mansion.

Medical claims and controversies
Main article: Medical claims on The Dr. Oz Show
Oz was heavily criticized by Senator Claire McCaskill in a hearing on consumer fraud in diet product advertising.
While Oz himself has not been found to be involved in medical weight loss scams, he has made statements that were exploited by scammers who have used his image and quotes to sell products falsely marketed for weight loss.[83][84] During a 2014 Senate hearing on consumer protection, Senator Claire McCaskill said that "the scientific community is almost monolithic against you" for airing segments on weight loss products that are later cited in advertisements, concluding that Oz plays a role, intentional or not, in perpetuating these scams. McCaskill expressed concern with Oz that he was "melding medical advice, news, and entertainment in a way that harms consumers."[85][86] He has been a spokesman and advisor for the website RealAge.com, which The New York Times has criticized for its pharmaceutical marketing practices.[84]
In 2012, Oz entered into an arrangement with Usana Health Sciences, a multi-level marketing nutrition company which has been accused of being a pyramid scheme.[87] Oz was paid over $50 million over a five year period to promote Usana products on his show.[88][89]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Oz's television appearances influenced Trump's decision-making,[90] and he became an informal advisor to the Trump administration.[91][92][93] Oz had promoted the use of hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug,[94] as a cure for COVID-19 on more than 25 Fox News broadcasts in March and April 2020.[95][96][97] Trump claimed to be taking the drug in May 2020.[98] In June 2020, the Food and Drug Administration revoked emergency use authorization of hydroxychloroquine, saying that it was "no longer reasonable to believe" that the drug was effective against COVID-19 or that its benefits outweighed "known and potential risks".[99][100][101] Oz also owns at least $630,000 of stock in two companies that manufacture or distribute hydroxychloroquine, Thermo Fisher and McKesson Corporation.[102]
In April 2020, Oz appeared on Fox News with Sean Hannity and said that reopening schools in the United States might be worth the increased number of deaths it would cause. Referencing an article published in the medical journal The Lancet, Oz said, "I just saw a nice piece in The Lancet [medical journal] arguing that the opening of schools may only cost us 2–3% in terms of total mortality."[103] Oz's comments provoked a backlash online, and he apologized, saying he had misspoken and that his goal was "to get our children safely back to school."[104]
COVID-19
In March 2020, Oz suggested that hydroxychloroquine, a drug typically used to treat rheumatological conditions and as an anti-malarial, could be used to treat COVID-19 as well. In April 2020, he called for the reopening of schools. Oz has however promoted the efficacy of wearing masks and of getting vaccinated against the virus.[163]
He initially praised Anthony Fauci as a "pro" and lauded his role in combating the pandemic in 2020 and 2021. Upon running for the Senate, however, Oz changed his tone on Fauci and referred to him as a "tyrant".[164] Oz said in 2022 when running for the Senate that "it's time we get back to normal".[163]
Environment and climate change
In 2017, Oz co-authored an article that highlighted the threats of climate change including extreme heat, wildfires and floods. When running for the Senate, he downplayed the risk that carbon dioxide poses when contributing to the role of the greenhouse effect in contributing to climate change.[167] In a March 2022 campaign event, Oz claimed that carbon dioxide is "not the problem".[168]
Public reception
Oz has faced criticism for his promotion of pseudoscience,[16][94] including homeopathy,[222][223] and alternative medicine.[86] Popular Science[224] and The New Yorker[64] have published critical articles on Oz for giving non-scientific advice.[64] HuffPost has accused Oz of promoting quackery.[225]
A 2014 study published in the British Medical Journal found that medical talk shows such as The Dr. Oz Show and The Doctors often lack adequate information on the specific benefits or evidence of their claims. Forty episodes of each program from early 2013 were evaluated, determining that evidence supported 46 percent, contradicted 15 percent, and was not found for 39 percent of the recommendations on The Dr Oz Show.[13] Unfounded claims included saying apple juice had unsafe levels of arsenic and cell phones could cause breast cancer.[94]
Oz was awarded the James Randi Educational Foundation's Pigasus Award 2009 for his promotion of reiki.[226][227][228][229] However, he used reiki for moral support to patients in the operating room, and claimed that he was unfairly attacked.[230]
Oz has been criticized for the guests he has invited onto The Dr. Oz Show, including psychics, faith healers, peddlers of unproven or disproven medical treatments, and anti-vaccination activists, including Joseph Mercola, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Christiane Northrup.[231][232][233]
