If he was to say, "Hey drink arsenic" there are probably thousands who would. I was going to say millions, but I honestly hope that there are people who would question that.
I may be bitter about his conflicts of interest regarding vaccines.
What has really been getting on my nerves, is that I've been having customers left and right asking for products that they have no idea about. You know how acetaminophen and Tylenol are the same thing, just one is a brand name? Yeah. I get that all the time. No not Tylenol specifically.
There are so many customers that refuse to buy a product because either Dr Oz used a specific brand name. They don't realize that (like Tylenol) most supplements go by their "real" name. They also don't realize that herbs and supplements can be used for more than one ailment.
Anytime Dr Oz has one of his "amazing" miracle cures, there are at least five people that day that ask for it. When we don't have that brand, or I offer a similar product they go into their "Well Dr Oz said that this is what will work". As if to say that because he didn't say that another product which has been shown to be just as effective won't work because it doesn't have his "seal of approval".
Don't get me wrong, I am glad that people are taking an interest in alternative medicine. I just feel like it should be a genuine interest. Taking something cause some guy says to sounds like a bad idea to me. If said product doesn't work as well on you as it did someone is optimal health, do you quit taking it and try to discredit natural remedies? Would you seek out vitamins that work synergestically? Do you think that being healthy is as easy as popping a pill? Do you not realize that you may need to quit smoking, eat healthier and exercise?
It's like nails on a chalk board to hear someone come in and say "I'm looking for ______, it was on Dr Oz today". It also means I will be hearing it several more times during my shift.
