How convenient for Dr. Oz to announce this need for leucovorin when a company he owns makes it.

1. Corruption right out in the open.

[vapor2]

2. NON EFFN CORRUPTION

Thought Oz was supposed to remove himself from his conflicts of interest
Guess he didn't He also has or had interest in NOW vitamins
.

3. Of course

They don’t even try and hide it anymore. And when they don’t want evidence get caught they’ll just say it was Bidens fault somehow

[riversedge]

4. If true, Dr. Oz has a Clear Conflict of Interest!!

[Grokenstein]

10. His only interest is filling his pockets. No conflict there! /s

5. They don't even try to hide it.

6. This is disinformation. It requires a prescription and it's not available at iHerb.

So, this is a lie. The deliberate sharing of misinformation is Propaganda! That's what this post constitutes.

12. I believe leucovorin is calcium folinate and is available as supplement at iherb

Even if OP’s meme is inaccurate to call it a lie and propaganda would require more than your statement that it is so. Misinformation and disinformation are two related but different things. How strange to call another DU member a liar and propagandist based on one’s own incomplete understanding of the truth.

16. ...

7. I see folinic acid supplements available

from myriad companies. I also see he is not the 'owner' but apparently 'promotes' them. I'm not ready to yell 'graft' yet based on this info.

17. Within the last half hour on DU...

Dr. Oz's role has gone from "he has a stake in an online company that sells it" to "he owns the company that manufactures it," along with insinuations that it is a major part of the online company's business.

I've found references to four different companies that manufacture it, so Oz doesn't own the company that makes it.

Iherb sells 50,000+ different products so I seriously doubt that leucovorin is a significant part of their business.

8. Leucovorin is commonly used in the context of...

Cancer treatment. Has a number of uses there. Research for autism is “promising” but as the designation suggests, not proven. Ordinarily FDA approval for autism wouldn’t yet be on the table. But RFK Jr. has long favored unproven treatments. More to come, I expect.

9. Readily available on the internet.

Basic claims for its benefits are muted, 'supports healthy energy, mood, hair, skin and nails'.

So your basic vague 'it might help, certainly can't do any harm.'
Anything more opens the manufacturer/seller up to legal action to prove things.

Far cry from being the cure for autism.

It's a repeat of the 'drink bleach' or 'shine UV light up your bottom' thing for COVID. (Both could hurt you, actually)

11. Wasn't that the same BS behind the Kimmel BS?!?

I get the BS stories confused since there are so many of them.

Wasn't the asshole who was the person behind the Kimmel suspension also involved with some financial deal and that is what influenced him to screw Jimmy?

Keith Olbermann knows this shit inside and out. There was some sort of deal behind the Kimmel shit show.

NO KINGS!!!!! Oct., 18th in over 2,000 cities with 1 month to go.

NO KINGS in the USA! Fuck off greedy, sadistic, criminal fascists.

[Aussie105]

13. Leucovorin. Google it.

And be surprised at how many people live in a simple world.

Their thinking is their 'evidence', and it is quite clear, X is caused by Y and Z is the solution.

Reminds me of a previous 'cure' for autism, Evening Primrose oil.

https://autismsupplementscenter.com/uncategorized/evening-primrose-oil/

Went to seminar on it, the PhD student who did the data collection and analysis had to be honest and say there was no evidence that it was of benefit in treating autism.
Many disappointed faces in the crowd. Their membership of the 'Have Faith and it will become true' church was severely tested that day.

14. If it looks like a quack and quacks like a quack...

15. K & R for exposure.

18. K&R

19. Dr. Oz owns an interest in Iherb

RFK Jr announced Tylenol causes autism. Then he pushed the "cure"- leucovorin (folinic acid).

Dr. Oz's supplement company, iHerb sells folinic acid.
The Dr. Oz who’s the Administrator of the Centre for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in Trump's circus tent.

This entire regime is a fucking joke.
