Is this satire? CONgress has more pressing matters!
I like that: CONgress.
They are going after soft targets.
They have to protect their cushy jobs. Harrumph, harrumph.
The actual format of the Dr. Oz show contributes to quakery and promoting alternative duck duck quack quack medicine.
He is more interested in producing a show than honesty.
You cant’ have a daily medical show like his for more than a year without running out of qualified scientifically verified material, however the deep barrel of natural and pop medicine(herbs, supplements, aroma therapy, reiki, holistic, etc, etc) appeals to those in distress and the scamsters in this field grow the breadth and depth of new products continuously.
However, there is some good in natural health, but those products and/or methods usually rise to the top within a 10+ year period and move into respectability. The rest of what is left of the good in natural medicine is herbs,some supplements and 100+ year old remedies(used by doctors of of early 1900’s and earlier) that have been supplanted by more modern effective medicines/drugs. Outside of this area the rest is crap.
