He seems to be involved in bizarre metaphysical gibberish - Christian heresy.
a portion of an article: http://www.womenofgrace.com/blog/?p=477
Although most people are not aware of this, Dr. Oz and his wife are followers of Emmanuel Swedenborg, a cult leader who died in 1772. Swedenborg was a Swedish Protestant fundamentalist who turned to spiritualism later in his life and became a famous trance medium. He claims to have turned to the occult after receiving a vision of Jesus in which the Lord asked him to abandon his profession as a scientist and devote himself to theology.
Swedenborg believed every verse in the Bible was God inspired, but these “visions,” which were more like out-of-body experiences, began to lead him to deviate from the Truth.
For instance, Swedenborg teaches that God forgives everyone and is more concerned with how we live than what we believe. Jesus didn’t save us by dying on the cross, but by overcoming evil and glorifying his human body. Angels are not superior beings created by God, but deceased people who have gone to heaven. Satan is not a fallen angel, but all of the people in hell working as a unit.
The author of many books, Swedenborg claims to have visited heaven, hell, five known planets and five planets outside our solar system. (I’m not making this up.) According to a biography of Swedenborg written by Martin Gardner for the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, he claims to have spoken to inhabitants of these planets during his out-of-body travels and documented these trips in his book, Life On Other Worlds.
“Swedenborg’s first visit was to Mercury,” Gardner writes. “Its spirits were able to invade his brain, searching for facts and knowledge but having no interest in ideas or opinions. The most notable spirit he meets is none other than Aristotle. We are told he was a wise man in contrast to his many ‘foolish’ Earth followers.”
Believe it or not, this fantastical “religion” has about 50,000 members worldwide – and Dr. Oz’s wife just happens to be one of them.

Why won’t Barry Soetoro shut his crazy woman up? A proper Muslim wife should not be seen or heard in public and dress modestly.
“America’s childhood obesity crisis was viewed as an insurmountable problem”
Just where are these fat kids? I can’t remember the last time I saw one. Yet Chewbacca and Despot Mike Bloomberg of New York city are using this excuse to ban whatever they choose. Despot Bloomberg for example recently banned 2 liter sodas with pizza deliveries. Why? Absolutely no reason that I can see other than to flex his power to the sheeple. What if I have a card game over my place with 8 people and we want a pizza and soda for 8, now the guy has to deliver 8 small bottles? And they want to shred the 2nd amendment? Obviously the problem seems to be they can’t recognize mental problems. Their own and those of mass killers. Blame the gun but no talk about mental problems. No no, I think with these psychopaths in office guns are mandatory as far as I’m concerned.
Thank you for this information. I did know his wife is an alternative medicine practitioner. That may be why Dr. Oz advocates a lot of herbs, roots, bark and seeds as cure-alls.
Maybe it is because kids in school are skipping lunch instead of eating crap.
