Dr. Mehmet Oz: A David vs. Goliath Story

A few days ago I heard that there was criticism leveled against Dr. Oz for offering "quack" cures and remedies on his show.  My first thought was that the AMA had had there feathers ruffled or the pharmaceutical industry was ticked off at him.  No, neither one.

The doctor who authored the complaint against Dr. Oz (along with 9 other medical doctors) is a proponent of GMO foods, especially corn.  It doesn't take a genius to imagine who or what is behind this push back against Dr. Oz, especially since this industry's/business' practices have been codified by the US Supreme Court.

I heard Dr. Oz's response to all of this.  It was, in effect, to invoke his right of free speech.  Unfortunately, that right does not extend to enabling him to step on the toes of big business.... they fight dirty and, up until now, at least, win all the time against the little guy.  Fortunately,  Dr. Oz has a large and loyal following of some 9 million viewers each day.

It is my recommendation that any of you who do support Dr. Oz and his right to offer alternative health education, spend a couple of minutes and e-mail or text or tweet (or whatever method of communication you prefer) the show and offer your support for him.  I don't believe this attack against Dr. Oz is over and I'm certain he'll appreciate any support he is given.
