I agree with Dr. Oz on some things but there are other things where I think he is wrong — just like any doctor. You may also may know, Dr. Oz has been under attack over the past year. The first attack came from the U.S. Government, accusing him of making false claims and selling substandard weight loss products. Oz admitted to his part but also pointed out that most of the guilt should have been laid on the shady retailers who were using his name and face without his consent. (Something I have often experienced with my own face and name over the last 30 years.) This investigation didn't surprise me. The FTC is looking for false claims constantly and I think Dr. Oz was a little too hopeful with his weight loss suggestions. But the second attack was just that. An attack. It came from 10 doctors, headed by Dr. Henry Miller, who sent a letter to Columbia's Dean of Medicine requesting an immediate dismissal of Dr. Oz from his faculty position at Columbia. Oz is vice chair of the Department of Surgery, at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. These doctors are scared because Dr. Oz discusses and recommends therapies and remedies that are natural and drug-free. They think of him, and anyone like him, as a threat to their system. And we are. These 10 doctors referred to themselves as "distinguished physicians" in their letter. However, a closer look at who they are reveals their true motives. Dr. Miller is a specialist, not in medicine, but in "Scientific Philosophy & Public Policy" at Stanford University. He is not the kind of doctor you would want to see if you were sick. Dr. Miller founded The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition - a tobacco industry front group that ran disinformation and fake science campaigns in the 1990 s for the big tobacco companies. He is interested in money – not your health. Another member of the gang, Dr. Gilbert Ross, was the executive director of the American Council on Science and Health, another shady group that Dr. Miller started in 1978. The American Council on Science and Health actively solicits funds from corporations to fight GMO labeling on product packaging. In fact, four of the "experts" who signed the letter to Columbia University receive money from GMO companies. Dr. Ross is also a criminal. He was "convicted of racketeering, mail fraud and conspiracy" for a Medicaid scheme in 2005. He lost his medical license, spent almost 4 years in jail and had to pay $612,855 in restitution. GMOs are his new scam. The doctors who signed the letter don't care about your personal health. Their history proves it. They want to destroy Dr. Oz because he legitimately threatens their finances. Fortunately, Columbia University ignored their request and continues to support Dr. Oz. I do too. Our medical system focuses on money and drugs instead of on patients. Besides the side effects, prescription drugs are the third leading cause of death in the United States. It makes sense for everyone to reach for a natural solution first and take care of their smaller health problems before they become big health problems.
