Ive been meaning to update but I came online and saw DIO's post about his aunt so I wanted to wait. My guy tested negative but was still not better. We ended up going to the hospital and after a chest xray they determined it was pneumonia. After taking antibiotics for these last few days, he's much better which I am so grateful for.
Interesting, tbh a upper respiratory tract infection could lead to pneumonia. Glad he is ok now.

Is Dr. Oz a real doctor? or was that Dr. Phil who was a fake doctor?






:mjgrin:

He's always been a scumbag to me. A rule is thumb is to never trust health gurus, or people who get in front of cameras to endorse products like that. Especially pushing big pharma and supplements. That's red flag number one....

Everyone knows the key to being healthy and longevity is exercise, sleep and a well balanced diet. Not some magical pill.

Oddly I've been listening to Pink Floyd's The Wall.

MAGA Heads are full on lemmings for a Future that will never come no matter how hard they try.

I read the Times piece about the last texts of the healthcare worker from Brooklyn, and her young daughter, it was really sad, and brought a lot of this home, in a personalized sort of way. Though, everyone and every culture has different views on death, and dying, and every person has different views. If I were to lose my Mom, I doubt I would feel as crushed as this family did. My Mom is in her mid 60's.

Her last text to her daughter was the definition of heart breaking.

His wiki is ugly:

Mehmet Cengiz Öz, known professionally as Dr. Oz, is a Turkish-American[2][3] television personality, cardiothoracic surgeon, Columbia University professor,[4] pseudoscience promoter,[5] journalist, and author.[6]

He is a proponent of alternative medicine, and has been criticized by physicians, government officials, and publications, including Popular Science and The New Yorker, for endorsing unproven products and non-scientific advice. The British Medical Journal published a study that found more than half of the recommendations on medical talk series like The Dr. Oz Show had either no evidence or contradicted medical research.[9] Donald Trump's appointment of Oz to the Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition was criticized as an example of choosing "pundits over experts".[10][11]

The specifics are even worse:

Mehmet Oz - Wikipedia
Medical claims on The Dr. Oz Show - Wikipedia

Never trust a surgeon with an MBA peddling pharmaceuticals. :francis:
