Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Dr. Oz and Nutritional Supplements - Must Watch!



Recommended Posts

If one more person quotes "Dr. Oz" to me on health advise, I am going to lose it. He is a snake oil salesmen who takes advantage of the gullible.

Agreed! That's why I posted this piece. I thought John Oliver did a great job at showing the world what Dr. Oz is really about. It so sad since he could be using his influence for wonderful things that are actually benefitting humanity.

I agree 100%... He mixes information about real health issues with the latest and greatest new pill or supplement or whatever. He must get advertising dollars for all the products he hawks on his show.

Thanks for sharing this! So funny, yet such a sober reminder to not trust any advertising claims about supplements.

I thought it was on the spot. Dr Oz likes to use those big descriptive words to wow his audience.

I usually flip the channel if I ever see him on :-)

OMG I just watched this and it's so funny and so true. It's sad that we take someone who could be very affective and really create change in the world by using his celebrity and scyndicated show.

I have people that I work with that follow him like he is a God among doctors even as they fail to go and see their own physicians! Dr. Oz said this and that on TV so it must be true and this and that pill can make me better and help me lose weight and cure my cancer or stop me from getting cancer. Soooo sad and even sadder that people who should know better and be smarter follow along like sheep rather then taking care of themselves and checking in with their Dr. for regular check ups.

You can simply apply this bull shit to just about every product that is endorsed by big business. This man is now becoming dangerous like others before him. Started out just trying to help and then greed and his own voice made him into a lying two bit hustler like all the others with no regard for human health or well being!

Time for Dr. Oz to leave. I know I would hold the door open for him! Will they ever wake up!

Nope. Not as long as people are looking for a miracle/magical pill that takes away personal responsibility. Just think how many fad diets have been tried by the participants of this board.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
