What Motivates Dr. Oz to Promote Unproven and Disproven Treatments? | Mehmet Oz Case Analysis 

I have a "contrarian" mindset. I'd be a great juror: I'd want to see the PROOF way beyond a reasonable doubt. BUT I also require the "alternative" solutions to life, medication, and work to ALSO have that high standard of proof.

It's hard for me to imagine that someone could trust a person they've only seen on TV more than anyone else that they've ever met in real life.

That’s dangerous

Its sickening and people dont need it. Your right and I think especially now post COVID and with war and natural disasters skyrocketing peoples paranoia, anger and whatever else is affected by cortisol levels.... I mean Dr Oz knows when people are afraid they lose use of prefrontal cortex and can no longer take in new information. So whatever he is saying as the "relief" to that feeling of fear and helplessness STICKS. we need a video from Dr. Grande just on THAT!

@@Melissa0774 I would say its a product of a certain era in history when it did matter, but people have been trying to fool other people with magic elixers and other such garbage from the getgo. And now they trust trends on social media. Sometimes I think people get addicted to "getting the underground information" as a product of some survival mechanism that thinks the rare thing is the best thing. Who knows its very perplexing.

Hmm I wonder what could be motivating dr oz 💰 🤑 💴

Next Dr Oz type who asks you to translate harmful lies, just go ahead and say something different that makes sense. They won't know what you are saying, thats why they need a translator. Translators prevent wars and stop frauds by saying the right thing instead of an accurate translation. You have the most powerful job in the world.

He's an enigma. Obviously beyond smart, impeccable credentials, but he comes across as a total flake.

@@chcarroll5164 I get the impression that he's like Geraldo. A once legit guy with good credentials who fell down a huckster rabbit hole and became a joke

We all know why he's running as a republican, the question was why does he promote quack medicine 🤣

slurp slurp.

Better than pedophile Fetterman.

That’s what most doctors peddle now as opposed to objective rational Help.

No they don't.

There was a concerted effort of a group of doctors to at least demand Dr. Oz be removed from his Columbia University faculty position in 2015. Columbia basically said he had "freedom to express himself" and did nothing.

@@azalago Likely if he started wearing a dress and began assaulting girls in the bathroom they'd do nothing, too. Isn't that "freedom of expression" these days? Or men competing in women's athletic events?

@@azalago they finally did do something. But I listened to the entire video

He’s blundering big time. Know what he said about Fetterman, regarding his (Fetterman’s) fondness for wearing hoodies? “He’s kickback authority in the b***s.” If there’s one thing Pennsylvanians can agree on, from the cities to Pennsatucky, it’s that we’d line up for miles if you posted a sign that read, “Watch authority getting kicked in the b***s, up ahead!” We’d go even if there were a pay bar. Fetterman already made a ton of money selling swag with that banging endorsement. That’s how you lose PA. Also, Oz is from Jersey. Nobody likes that.

That's even more frightening.

BTW...Thank you

Aw whine whine. Let her be happy . You left her alone?

Good that you were able to care for your mom

Sounds like you did an amazing job for her, though :)

I'm sorry your mom had to experience such disappointment. But she's got you and I'm sure that's her greatest gift of all❤

The one time this semi atheist will defend any local institution is if it offers placebo or cargo cult "magic" whatever is if it's FREE. If it needs cash to work it's probably not magic

@@555_Lady_JB being desperate and trying to solve a problem any way you can isn't deflection it's sort of rational but that's where Oz uses his authority to promote the wrong answers. Nothing wrong with prayer etc but it's entirely free by nature

@@555_Lady_JB of course she is to blame for her own decisions, but Oz has culpability here. If any other doctor told your mother to take a medication and it killed her, you wouldn't blame your mom. You would blame the doctor. You would sue the doctor, and you would win. Doctors take an oath to not recommend harmful actions because they are given authority over medical processes. If he calls himself a doctor and then uses that to promote harmful things, he is most certainly to blame for the damage incurred bt the people he fools.

@@555_Lady_JB we don't know the full situation but I've witnessed plenty of magical thinking being exploited in difficult times. How do you make a rational argument when a TV authority good guy like a doctor promises miracles? Oz moved to politics sadly where he belongs empty promise central. The rest of the medical field will continue on empirical grounds despite not being able to always promise a cure to everybody. Enormous numbers of people were desperate to not believe COVID and most of them weren't in a situation like the mother here most likely was. Those arguments take still take forever after a while most people just want to listen to a doctor who went to medical school. Not entirely easy to do unlike it seems politics so Oz lost his way but I'm glad he's moving on tho I hope he doesn't win

Those shows were always psuedo intellectual garbage. And today's shows like 'The View' & 'The Talk' are psuedo intellectual puke! Could never take more than 10 seconds of watching or hearing that junk. Last week while waiting at the dealership for my inspection, they had The View on in the waiting room. As I listened to those obnoxious hogs spew their idiotic & ignorant nonsense, I could feel my brain cells dying by large numbers after about 2 minutes. I had to get the heck outta there. I told the service desk to call or text me when my car is finished & that I'll be going for a walk around the lot checking out the cars. Way more stimulating for the brain to look at man made objects & hearing nothing than to listen to the absolute inane intellectual vomit coming from the mouths of those hideous hogs

Ha! Gold.

Lolololol I am obsessed with that brilliantly perfect descriptive re-title!!!!!!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was terrible at math in almost every regard in advanced high school classes like statistics but I definitely think your teacher and I could bond over that hilarious perfection!!!!!!!!!

Dairy causes all kind of health issues Unless you are a cow

Examples?

Unfortunately people will cling onto anything to lose weight besides getting off the couch and putting the fork down Anyway, hope your mother is doing better now, both physically and mentally

Isn't it amazing that literally every single person on this planet knows how to be healthy and lose weight, but they are unwilling to do it, looking for every possible ludicrous alternative method, because the true methods require some effort and discipline?

@@sikkableeat5614 that’s literally my mom. She will do ANYTHING to not eat healthy and exercise.

Me and my mom bought green coffee bean extract thinking how skinny we were gonna get. Lol

This comment is spot on

I have always thought this. He could have done great work.

I think this so often. Idk why people choose Money and fame over integrity and science, when they could do so much good by providing evidence based information and a voice of reason. They could be great role models as well, but instead they tell people to drink the coolaid while shoveling money into their bank accounts.

Oh yes I can imagine the shows now. First episode summary: Eat well and exercise. The second episode: Eat well and exercise, Third episode: I think you get the idea. LOL

@@FrameDrumAndFlute lmao i was thinking more about something like hubermans lab but with singers and dancers in between 😂

@@FrameDrumAndFlute no one said it would be compelling television. 🤣

That's actually real lmao. But it's rare. You shouldn't pick at pimples anyway.

It does sound crazy though

Something similar happened to a coworker, he was obese and had diabetes. He picked at a pimple on his thigh and it got infected, the infection spread and his leg became cangrenous. They had to amputate his leg at the hip but septic shock set in and he died. So, leave your pimples alone.

@@V.E.R.O. yeah, if you’re obese and diabetic = broken immune system response

That would be helpful.

She would never 😂

Her ego is too big. These types of people aren't fond of accountability.

She put other quacks on the map too. I can’t believe I used to watch her.

He’s been doing all of this since the very start. She’s in on it too.

@Pat Luxor They do in surgery if a surgeon, of course. But I think her point was that people associate scrubs with "being a very important doctor" ... elite, special, more knowing than other doctors, kinda thing. There will be a psychological reason they had him dressed like it, and that one would be my guess.

Yeah but have you seen Frankenstein Fetterman 😂?

This is going to be a ridiculously dumb comment but I absolutely love learning new words and you put a lot of them. (See? *Totally* dumb comment.)

Don't forget power. I'm afraid of his Turkey residency. They have no love for us.

two words - money and fame & now he is after the 3rd item - power

Because he is "psycho-analyzing" (a case like this) and it is unique in that Oz is a doctor; he should care for people, their health, and evidence based treatment. So it is interesting to look at the journey of how he got to where he is and why. Yes, money. But nearly everyone wants money.. So why the pseudo scientific nonsense? He is like a modern snake oil salesman, with a doctorate.

The humor usually points up human shortcomings. One reason why it is so dry and wise.

Yes, he has very dry wit and I love how he delivers jokes without a hint of what is coming, for example, "It would be more accurate to call therapeutic touch a non-therapeutic money removal system."

Sometimes he tries too hard.

I want to know about the dead people whom Dr. Grande knows to complain about not sleeping. Ghosts haunt him?

This was nicely put.

Exactly! Well said. I live in PA and his political ads are hilariously bad. He preys upon and bolsters the most irrational and paranoid thoughts of absolute nitwits.

Bingo!

lol yep.

eb - Are you mellowing?🤔

😂😂💀

Duh? 😜

He is literally the Mr Krabs meme

Exactly!!

I disagree…. It’s TWO words:money and fame. He has enough money for a dozen people to never have to work again, yet he keeps reaching for the spotlight.

Hunter Biden Joe Biden Hillary Clinton Bill Clinton Nancy Pelosi all about money

That would be a very frightening analysis

Lol, if someone were able to analyze and make sense of the horrific actions of Herschel Walker, I would worry about their own competency.

I agree. This does not mean that there is no comfort from believing but the reality is that science is the truth.

True religious people believe in science. Not a big explosion.

Yes

The Ks aren't MDs, different level of trust and honesty.

@@theresalero7039 Mds started an opioid crisis in America. Pharmaceutical companies monetize by pushing fear into people's minds. Beverage companies sell sugar water to masses. The US economy has been all about selling "a" product regardless of its utility. Dr. Oz plays the same game that has been played since Bernays.

Or none at all?

Hypocratic Oath should mean something

Why? Don’t people have the freedom to speech? Shouldn’t, instead, the consumers have done their due diligence and not take everything they hear as being the truth. Be skeptical.

@@cosmicthespider7974 Problem with that is, American education isn’t at all the best. It isn’t part of the curriculum to teach students how to research topics, just to turn up every day and accept and learn information. That’s it.

@@thespidermanoftheottomanempire I am a product of the American education system. I am analytical, inquisitive, intuitive, and veraciously curious. We are a product of our environments. You can’t cater a public school to each persons most preferred way of learning. Lord knows a traditional learning environment is not the way that I learn best. But I was able to use my personality traits to supplement the education system. Parents need to be more involved in theirs kids’ learning. But most parents can’t be bothered or simply don’t have the energy. Blame starts at home, not at school. Btw, your statement about not being taught to research… do they not teach writing in MLA format. Part of which, is structuring and citing sources. They would kind of need to know what sources are before they can cite them. Maybe your education was bad.

Everyone claims to be.

It has nothing to do with rice…it’s only the heat that is helping your feet recover.

@@Liahs333 ​ @Ladona0221 Yes, the heat is key, but the recommendation of rice in a tube sock was specific because it snakes very well around the limbs (this was my arm, but both feet were broken too) verses something like a heating pad. Also the heat decreases because it is not being fed by electricity. That is what they want so, you know it is time to stop telexing and do your pinching exercises. You can buy something similar with beads/beans usually with aromatherapy. However, the tube sock is cheaper and you can fill it with enough rice to make it really dense verses the "pretty" ones.

The magic bean bags that you heat in microwaves do the same as rice would but they were not given to mold, or overheating. It was just the brand name. I think it contained flax seed? As a RN I had a long one that id heat and use after a 12 hour shift on my sore neck and shoulders. That was bought in the 90s. Worked great. So some of his shtick is old items or ideas renewed on his show. In hospital we used to have big moist heat pads that sat in hot baths of water, made of canvas. You could haul em out wrap a bunch 9f towels around it and the moist heat was used to ease muscle and bone pain for patients ( eww the wet canvas smell). So yes the moist heat works, rice in socks is a quirky twist, and questionable for insomnia.

Hi, Michael!

I missed it and had to go back to see for myself after reading your comment. That is so funny. He always cracks me up.

Yeah it is very funny 🤣

Really...it seems you're not a distinguished con-artist until you've been on Oprah's show. Once you've made it to her show, you belong to the high society of scams. 😂

It’s all about $$$$$$

Because Oprah is a charlatan herself duh

$$$$$$

I had a natural grocer near me put Dr. Oz's recommended products on a table so they were easy for customers to find. At first everything was neatly displayed. After a short time the table just looked like items sold at a yard sale. Who knew there were so many miracle cure products? The natural food and supplement stores made bank - at least for a while. He's a total snake oil salesman and just as slimy. I used to love watching Oprah but she changed over the years and now I have 0 respect for her. Dr. Phil was also slimy.

Maybe loss of consciousness!

It is not a good idea, though.

Skeletons generally don't weigh much.

@@bthomson eating 500 calories will bring you a long way.....the human body is quite resilient. im just flashed that somebody could think the hormone are helping to lose weight....while only eating 500 calories.

@@notyourdamnbusiness8795 That will slow down your metabolism and your body will cope for awhile. Then you start eating again and blow up like a huge balloon.

That would be a great topic for him to cover. I hope he does it!

Good idea. These panels of experts are all over RU-vid and sound very confident.

I think they're all bogus they never set a Baseline and I would like to see them do a blind test where subjects lie or tell the truth also if they're doing body language they shouldn't be listening to what the people are saying.

I would love the body language experts to simultaneously analyze Dr. Grande's movements.

@@GreenEnvy. 😂

It seems to me the whole world is about money these days and few people possess any common sense.

🐗🐗🐗

When someone shows you who they are...believe it

Old Idell; the Zipper Police. Now WE KNOW who SHE is. Real name; Karen Brown.

Normally I would agree, and Dr. Grande has made decent videos. But this was.... what a terrible video from Dr. Grande. the ONLY thing he said about Fetterman being a "bad candidate", was an isolated incident as if no one has ever made a mistake(not saying we have all brandished deadly weapons though) , and MOst importantly -- NOTHING about Fetterman's policies. Politics is about Policy. How about some policies, if you are going to call him an exceptionally bad candidate? Also... "Alternative medicine" can encompass everything from snake oil, to legit compounds that have scientific backing., For example, l pterostilbene shrinks lung tumors. Medical mushrooms assist in chemotherapy recovery and in the shrinking of some tumors. Vitamin d3 controls 1 24th the human genome. Vitamin K2MK7 lower all cause mortality, eg, stroke, heart attack, cancer, dementia. I could go on and on all day. Homeopathy is total BS however. Hence the snake oil part of things.

Good for you. I'm only around 12 years clean.

I have been clean since 2001, fell off the wagon in 2016, and been good since 2018.

One day at a time guys. lol

Well, at least John Fetterman has political experience as Lt. Governor on which you can judge him and his fitness for office.

What’s he done as Lt. Gov other than be forced to wear a suit?

@@0329Christine haha that's good 🤣

So after listening to what Fetterman did I don’t blame you!

So you would rather help Russia?

@@ellaella5537 if you can’t figure out that war is a racket and the only people that lose are citizens in this country while the military industrial complex and their stock holders win than please take a look at our foreign policy since WW2. There have been peace deals on the table in Ukraine that the west has rejected and why? Making a little Ching Ching on the side maybe? Yes is the answer. They want to do the same thing they’ve done to the global south and use our military to take their resources and privatize them to corporations and then they gouge us too controlling all the resources. They want Europe to buy their natural gas from us instead of Russia again using our military and the guise of humanitarian aid for corporate profits. Then propagandize citizens with scary words like authoritarianism, communism and socialism so we go along with it. May I suggest Revealing Ukraine and Ukraine on Fire plus the untold history of the United States only found on rumble to get a better picture? If you don’t mind me asking, how is this war in the Ukraine helping your family or even the Ukrainian citizens? Russia hadn’t been a communist country and the US has not kept its promise to not expand NATO up to its boarder. It would be like Russia in canada or Mexico so it’s not that I’m pro Russia I am anti bs and last I checked neither side voted for more war in the last election.

@@ellaella5537 Literally not what he said.

Fetterman really didn’t do much for Braddock.

@@0329Christine probably not. Didn’t do any worse for it either. I liked him earlier on. Knew some good things to say but he obviously ‘got his head right’ to be supporting the next money pit war. There is no avenue to vote against it.

Not an attack on you and not backing Oz, but this kind of thinking is flawed. Just because something does not work for an individual does not mean we are to automatically dismiss something. For example, a statistical analysis of a study of a product with a 90% positive change would be considered a success despite 10% of the participants not benefitting or seeing any changes. Would we still dismiss the product with those numbers?? The majority of individuals with ovarian cysts could benefit from weight loss for a reduction in symptoms. Again, not guaranteed because each individual's biochemistry is different; its all trial and error to find what works for you. You can't expect getting general advice on a television show would be helpful, especially if you don't meet the full criteria. That's why any medical advice garnered from an outside source is to be followed up with you doctor. I personally take everything and compile it and taylor it to my individual needs. Again, not an attack on you. Just saying you may need to rethink your outlook.

@@sheriA7082 he's a quack, the only thing that has helped us hormone therapy. She can't stand to lose any more weight.

@@sheriA7082 What you said makes sense, it's a shame it was disregarded.

Yeah, but at least "Dr. Phil" hasn't had a license in a long time. I think he hasn't renewed it since the first year of his show.

can we add the common denominator shyster ... OPRAH

@@Melissa0774 I didn't think he ever had a license, Dr was just given to him by Oprah to make him sound like he knew what he was talking about.

@@GrimmShadowsII No, he was a real doctor back in the day. He had a license and he used to see patients. But then he gave up his practice to do that stupid mock jury trial company, that does fake legal trials for people to practice for a real one, which shouldn't even be legal. That's how he met Oprah, because she hired him to do one of those mock trials to prepare her for her beef industry lawsuit trial. I think he stopped renewing his license when he moved from Texas to California to do his show, even though he hadn't actually seen patients in Texas in a long time.

@@AlbertaGeek you're kidding. that is hilarious. i need to find out who wrote the screenplay.

Watching a public display of cognitive dissonance is, I'm surprised to learn, no less disgusting than inadvertently seeing a homeless person masterbating in an alleyway.

I didn't read through the comments before I posted. I basically said the same thing as you, but you said it much better.

Yeah, the man Fetterman confronted might've been traumatized by the incident, but no one was physically harmed, and Fetterman didn't intend for it to go awry. In the Ahmad Arbery case, there WAS racially motivated malintent made by the gunmen, so it kind of rubbed me the wrong way when that comparison was made. And Oz intentionally promotes harmful products if it means that they'll sell. Fetterman might have his flaws, but he is not on the same level as these heinous beasts.

I am not surprised that he shady - I never liked him - but wasn't able to put a finger on it ( meaning didn't find reason why ) as I watched him - he seemed fake . Sadly he is very bad candidate for anything serious. His place would be perfect in a morg to clean up the traffic victims .

Excellent critique, thanks.
