Dr. Oz tells critics: No conflict of interest on my TV show

April 17, 2015 by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Dr. Mehmet Oz is defending himself against 10 doctors who've accused him of promoting "quack treatments" on his TV show.

Oz said in a statement Friday that his show provides "multiple points of view" including his own.

He added that his own views are offered "without conflict of interest."

A group of 10 doctors sent a letter to Columbia University this week urging the university to remove Oz from its faculty. They accused Oz of an "egregious lack of integrity."

The lead author was Dr. Henry Miller, a senior research fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution.

A Columbia spokesman said the school is "committed to the principle of academic freedom."

Oz is vice chairman of Columbia's surgery department and still occasionally teaches. He also performs heart surgery at Columbia's affiliated hospital.

He is a quack. However, some people subscribe to his points of view and if they do, then fine.

His is a quack. He cites "studies" that are either non-existent, or have been debunked.

He doesn't use science to back up his points--only his personal opinion.

He has been proven wrong by colleagues many times over but is unapologetic--which is why this letter was written.

I think it's funny how he can have 5 shows in a row and promote some type of different "miracle" weight loss product each time.

 People are desperate for that "quick fix..." You know, the thing that doesn't exist!

This was only a matter of time IMO. I'm surprised that someone hasn't sued him yet. He promotes unsafe and totally unproven methods. He's a quack. I don't care if people like him and think he has a great personality or whatever. 99.9 percent of what he says is crap.

 Exactly.  And he's not even that good looking to me.

Just another one of Oprah's "experts" who really is only out for his own good. He really doesn't care if what he's saying is good for you or not.

There have been COUNTLESS studies done showing that good-looking people get preferential treatment.

 What does that have to do with people following quack medicine?  If people are choosing to follow his advice just because they think he is attractive ( I do not ), then why isn't that their own fault? 

You are blaming his looks for other people's gullibility.

 If he was ugly he wouldn't be a TV personality & wouldn't be spreading his quackery.  I agree people are gullible.

He looks smarmy.

And if people are gullible because someone attractive tells them something, then that is dumb.

I bet Dr. Oz would make his heart surgery candidates stop taking those natural remedies" he pushes prior to performing surgery on them.

 I don't trust doctors that spend more time on TV than in a hospital, just like I don't trust rich pastors.

 C'mon.  You can't seriously be saying he's attractive.  You can like him - but let's not suspend reality.
