OZ AFFAIR"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"Dr-OZ1\"<\/a>Dr. Mehmet Oz is a name that is so trusted for health advice in our media these days that he can make a recommendation for a dietary supplement or health product one day, and stores sell out of that same product the very next day.\u00a0 As such, he belongs to a very exclusive club, the likes of which include such celebrities as Oprah Winfrey \u2013 who first invited him on to her show as her \u201cgo to\u201d doctor to discuss various health issues of the day and make his recommendations.\u00a0 With patronage from the most respected lady in daytime TV, it wasn\u2019t long before Dr. Oz developed a huge following of his own.\u00a0 The huge amount of trust and respect that Dr. Oz commands, and the huge influence he wields on the viewing public, have put him in a very enviable position indeed.<\/p>\n

So, it is not that surprising that Dr. Oz has come under a lot of fire recently, ostensibly for hawking herbal and nutritional supplements which many have branded as \u201cquack treatments\u201d.\u00a0 In fact, a group of ten doctors got together and wrote a letter to Columbia University\u2019s medical school, at which Dr. Oz holds a faculty post, demanding that he be fired by the University for promoting these treatments.\u00a0 He was even summoned before congress and cross examined for promoting what many have claimed to be dubious supplements and treatments that many claim have departed from what they call evidence based medicine.\u00a0 In the process, Dr. Oz has come under a lot of fire from those who have their doubts about the safety and\/or efficacy of the products and treatments he is recommending, whether they are motivated by a professional or industry agenda, or just plain skeptical about health supplements in general.<\/p>\n

Dr. Oz chose to passionately defend himself and tackle his attackers head on, exposing them for who they were.\u00a0 Many worked for conservative think tanks and had a vested interest in defending GMOs, or genetically modified foods, and the current anti-labeling status quo in the United States.\u00a0 It turns out that another doctor who signed the letter had been implicated in major Medicaid fraud.\u00a0 Defending the public\u2019s right to know what is in our food, and advocating for GMO labeling is one of the things that Dr. Oz supports.\u00a0 Dr. Oz passionately proclaimed that he would not be silenced in a TV announcement to confront his critics.\u00a0 Identifying his critics, the ten doctors who signed the letter to get him fired, and their ties to the GMO industry, Dr. Oz brought the GMO issue front and center, suggesting that perhaps this was the real reason these doctors wanted him silenced.<\/p>\n

And he may well be right.\u00a0 Polls show that about 90 percent of Americans would like for GMO foods and ingredients in foods to be labeled as such.\u00a0 From a moral, ethical, and even a common sense standpoint, GMO labeling just makes sense.\u00a0 GMO advocates claim that GMO foods are no different from, and just as safe as, non-GMO food, whereas GMO opponents claim that GMO foods have not been adequately researched and tested, and may not be safe.\u00a0 But leaving this obvious controversy aside, doesn\u2019t the public have the right to know what is in their food?\u00a0 Even ingredients which are not controversial are routinely labeled because someone can have an adverse reaction to virtually any food ingredient.\u00a0 People are very health conscious these days, and many are choosing to buy organic \u2013 and these same people don\u2019t want to be inadvertently buying and eating genetically modified foods.\u00a0 And who can blame them?<\/p>\n

Perhaps the real reason why Dr. Oz\u2019s critics have mounted this attack against him for promoting what they claim to be \u201cquack treatments\u201d is because they know that they could get much more sympathy from the public on this issue than if they chose to attack him on what is their real agenda: his stance on GMO foods, and having them labeled.\u00a0 With the vast majority of the American public supporting GMO labeling, they could not get any sympathy or support from the public on that issue.\u00a0 But if they silence Dr. Oz and shut him down for these alleged \u201cquack treatments\u201d, they have also silenced a powerful voice for GMO labeling as well.\u00a0 So, the recent attacks on Dr. Oz could very well be summed up as a stealth or false flag operation.<\/p>\n

What the recent attacks on Dr. Oz have made clear is that there is still a lot of widespread skepticism and even downright opposition to herbal and dietary supplements, and how to regulate the industry.\u00a0 The spectrum of opinion on these matters is quite diverse, and runs all over the map.\u00a0 The supplement and health food industry still has powerful opponents in high places who would like nothing better than to shut it down for good.\u00a0 Many of those who profess skepticism about dietary supplements even allege that the basic quality and purity of the ingredients contained in these supplements is highly questionable, but in my experience, if you do your research and homework, and buy your supplements from a reputable company, the quality, potency and purity is pretty consistent and reliable.<\/p>\n

But what about the claims that Dr. Oz and others have made for these supplements?\u00a0 Haven\u2019t they gone way over the top in touting them?\u00a0 Here again, opinions range from unqualified support and agreement with these claims, or at least the freedom of speech for Dr. Oz and others to make them in a free and democratic society, to downright condemnation of these claims as misleading and dangerous.\u00a0 Those who make powerful claims for health and dietary supplements are often stigmatized as \u201csnake oil salesmen\u201d by skeptics in the media.\u00a0 But where does the truth lie?\u00a0 Are these health and dietary supplements powerful therapeutic tools and allies in the improvement of one\u2019s health, or are they worthless frauds, preying upon the gullible and infirm?\u00a0 Or does the truth lie somewhere in between?<\/p>\n

In watching current videos on the whole Dr. Oz affair, I heard a very important point being made:\u00a0 That Dr. Oz, or any other licensed physician who touts or makes claims for a certain health or dietary supplement on TV isn\u2019t, in the strict sense of the word, practicing medicine \u2013 they are simply educating and informing the public about what their general opinion is on these products and what they can do.\u00a0 The actual practice of medicine, on the other hand, is a much more personalized affair, and involves the personal clinical assessment of the patient by the physician in order to recommend or prescribe the treatment or remedy that is best suited for them \u2013 on an individual, personalized basis.\u00a0 And so, if you see Dr. Oz, or any other media doctor or expert touting some nutritional or dietary supplement on TV, it is up to you to do your homework and find out if that would be the right treatment for you \u2013 and in that process, it is often, perhaps even usually, a wise option to consult with a physician or licensed healthcare practitioner.<\/p>\n

As a general rule, herbs, vitamins and nutritional supplements are generally of a much milder nature and character than pharmaceutical drugs.\u00a0 And because they are generally gentler and milder, they are usually not as sure to work for treating or correcting the condition or symptom that you are using it for as taking a pharmaceutical drug would be.\u00a0 But then, on the positive side of the leger, you don\u2019t have all the negative or adverse side effects that you experience with pharmaceutical drugs either.\u00a0 In the United Sates, herbs, vitamins and dietary supplements are classified as a food product, which reflects their generally gentler, milder, more nutritive nature and character.\u00a0 Actually, supplements fall somewhere in between food and medicine, and when you take them, you are, in a sense, following Hippocrates\u2019 dictum to let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food.<\/p>\n

And so, taking those pills of Green Coffee Bean Extract may not melt away the fat on your belly just as magically as Dr. Oz said it would.\u00a0 It\u2019s up to you to do your research and homework on that matter, and find out just how well those Green Coffee Beans are suited for melting away that fat in your case.\u00a0 And, as part of that process, you shouldn\u2019t be averse to seeking the personal advice and guidance of a physician or healthcare practitioner.\u00a0 Those Green Coffee Beans, or those Sea Buckthorn Berries, or whatever, may have an impressive amount of clinical research to back them up, but this is no guarantee or substitute for personal, individualized guidance and treatment from a licensed physician or health professional.<\/p>\n
