That's all fine philosophy.  There appear to be large discrepancies between that stated philosophy and your promotion of ideas that are belied by well established evidence.

If it is indeed well established as TRUTHFUL evidence
well and good.

If on the other hand, the 'well established evidence' is
deceitfully manufactured, that is another matter.

Assumption of Responsibility entails finding TRUTH.

Whether Dr. Oz conducts his business as a typical self-
interested corporation remains to be seen.  Advocating
nutrition by means of natural sources doesn't seem to
be as financially lucrative as conventional 'big pharma'
medicine.  Not to mention the fact that nutrition does
have the capability to enable the body to heal.

Junk Foods and Big Pharma seem to employ the same
sort of modus operandi for their benefit.

You may or may not believe such things.  When asked for hard evidence that supports various claims you have made you have been very quiet. 

As to the good Dr.  Here is a comment he made in his own words concerning promotions he has done on his show:

Quote""When we write a script, we need to generate enthusiasm and engage the viewer,""... "I recognize that often times they don't have the scientific muster to pass as fact. I have given my family these products."

Caveat emptor.

Dr. Oz makes millions of dollars.  Not that that is a bad thing but, you don't trust million dollar corporations yet you trust Oz?  Of course, he got his start on Oprah and has sold many books, does seminars, TV appearances, radio spots,etc.  His money is coming from somewhere and I feel sure that he takes the money source(s) into consideration when making decisions for his career.

If what some folks here think about big pharma were true, they would have taken out Oz a long time ago.  Ask why this has not happened.

Doctor Oz is finding that there is much resistance
to healing by nutrition from The Establishment.

It's pretty funny when an article tries to make any point but the one in it's title. 

Quote
True healing which is accomplished without spending large sums payable to Big Pharma is tantamount to heresy!

I'm pretty sure this means you didn't even read the article you posted.

Just pointing out to everyone that the article is not about Dr. Oz at all.  It's one of Mike Adams (another person who makes considerable money off "natural" products and services)  meandering highly-self referencing and self-aggrandizing nonsense posts. Adams is also somewhat unhinged as he has at least once appeared to suggest that anti-GMO activists should consider murdering scientists and journalists. (although he edited his post afterwards and put in a disclaimer for some of the harsher text)

Is that your view as well SeaMonkey? Is that what you promote here?
