(12,557 posts)I've been a DUer since 2003 -- before you joined. As an MD, I have an opinion because of how much I've seen medicine roiled over the decades, with complete revolutions in beliefs in calcium supplements to peptic ulcer therapy to prion theory. I've learned to be skeptical of "proven science" because I've seen it later disproven upon further study. Dr. Oz may be gullible, and he may explore some silliness on his show, but as far as I know, no patient has died or been harmed by his new-age advice, which pretty much seems to revolve around diet, exercise, and meditation.
I happen to post an editorial from the NYT, and instead of addressing the editorial, you choose to attack me -- simply for expressing an opinion. If repeatedly yelling QUACK QUACK is as elevated a dialogue as you can muster, then I think I'll leave you to your sandbox.
