SO what. Dr. OZ is making a fortune on this homeopathic style of medicine.
If his other practice is so dishonorable, why isn’t it illegal?
But by the standards of the Cainiacs, the Study at M D Anderson in Houston on weight loss is a fraud.
They are getting ready to go into human trials of a medicine that get rid of fat.
How DARE they:
Targeted drug melts fat, weight and waistlines in obese monkeys

An experimental drug that directly reduces fat by destroying the blood vessels that support it caused an 11 percent weight loss in obese rhesus monkeys in a month’s time.
“Development of this compound for human use would provide a non-surgical way to actually reduce accumulated white fat, in contrast to current weight-loss drugs that attempt to control appetite or prevent absorption of dietary fat,” says Renata Pasqualini, Ph.D., professor in MD Anderson’s David H. Koch Center for Applied Research of Genitourinary Cancers.
“We’re greatly encouraged to see substantial weight loss in a primate model of obesity that closely matches the human condition,” Pasqualini says.
Treated monkeys had corresponding reductions in waist circumference and body mass index. Untreated control monkeys were largely unchanged during the study.
Imaging studies showed treated monkeys lost 38 % of their body fat, including 27 % of their abdominal fat, indicating that weight loss was caused by fat reduction and not the loss of other types of tissue.
OMG! 21st Century version of MONKEY GLANDS & GOAT GLANDS! ROTFLMAO!
The Russian-born Dr. Serge Voronoff of France was the initiator of the "monkey glands" fad of the 1920s and 1930s, persuading dozens of men that pieces of monkey testicle implanted in their own testes would give them increased potency. He came up with this idea after noting that eunuchs aged faster than the non-castrated. Voroneff wrote a book about his process in 1926, which spread the idea around the world. A Dr. Leighton Jones was famous for the same procedure in Australia, and cases of this transplant being done are known in the U.S., Italy, Russia, Brazil, Chile, and India. It was sometimes difficult to procure the monkeys needed, and monkey houses to raise the animals sprouted near Voroneff's location. (Since the vivisection of animals was illegal in England, human testes were substituted.) ...
On a similar note, John Romulus Brinkley (1885-1941) was well-known in the U.S. for using goat glands for the same supposed restoration of male fertility and virility; he started performing these implantations in 1918. Brinkley was licensed as a doctor in Kansas; the license was revoked in 1930, when he had already become rich from his practice, so he moved to Texas, just across the border from a Mexican radio transmitter on which he advertised his services prescribing supposed drug remedies.

I guess he can alsways tell them, if (when) the hormone treatments don't work, that their aging must not have been "premature"!
