subject: Dr. Oz, Oprah, Money And Stupidity [print this page] The goal of all physicians is the health, education and independence of their patients not dependence, repeat business, regular appointments, monthly insurance premiums, maintenance, drugs, surgery, fear and ignorance. Their main job is education, which is why I wrote my book. Disease is not an accident, nor inevitable but PLANNED by you, your daily thoughts, diet, actions, habits, etc. that have accumulated over the ears, decades, for better or worse.
The only person who can truly cure you is you just as the only person who can lead you astray, eat bad foods, take drugs, etc. is you. No one can help you but you, and the best way to help yourself is through knowledge because right now you are ignorant, do not know how to maintain health, conquer disease, nor do your experts, which is why you read health articles and hopefully whole books. One article does not build a library of knowledge.
Most disease is caused by poor diet. If you cannot accept this truth then you are ignorant, arrogant and possibly an idiot because who else would pay for and follow advice detrimental to their health? Drugs, surgery and radiation, the mainstay of modern allopathic medicine is a mixed bag of positive and negative, which violates the creed of physician to do no harm. While all of these therapies may be harmful, they are also beneficial when applied properly despite their negativity, which is sometime necessary when the patient is unwilling to make dietary and lifestyle changes beneficial to their health. Every medicine has its place, which is solely determined by the patient (adult) not the doctor, physician.
In every profession, there are good and bad practitioners. The bad practitioners of medicine give stupid, ignorant and harmful advice that hurt, enslave and demean their patients as well as themselves. I will use Dr. Oz as an example. This is a personal opinion based on my professional experience (licensed Acupuncture Physician (FL 1992- 2002), traditional Chinese medicine (diagnose and treat via diet, herbs, nutritional supplements, acupuncture, massage, etc.). I also owned a health food store for 17 years. I counseled thousands of people.
The follwoing are three examples of less than stellar advice given by Dr Oz. I will The first two are dietary as Dr. Oz, on his television show and Oprah, advised that it was all right to drink three to four cups of coffee per day, engage in sex, or masturbation if you're an uptight middle age man (it will help relax you). The third is body odor, which according to Dr. Oz on Oprah (idiot patient) is generally caused by unknown factors (some people just naturally stink, attract bad, stinky bacteria), race and gender, not diet (minor factor).
My medical background is traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicines. They are both 5,000+ years old. Regarding sex and caffeine, their advice is the EXACT OPPOSITE. They advise men to restrain, forgo the ejaculation and or practice celibacy, as the release of sexual essence (sperm, etc.) is extremely weakening, drying, thinning, etc. Excessive sex tends to accelerate the aging process, drying, thinning and weakening of the skin, bones, hair, organs, glands, brain, spine, etc. in both sexes. It is the forbidden fruit, located in the center of the garden. Coffee, caffeine accelerates the consumption, burning of sexual essence (jing in traditional Chinese medicine) thereby accelerating the aging, drying, thinning and weakening of the body mind. Both medicines would barely allow three or four cups a month. Both medicines (5,000+ years old) advise the exact opposite of Dr. Oz. What does that tell you about Dr. Oz and modern medicine?
Both medicines would also consider him an idiot for teaching the idea that body odor has more to do with race, gender and unknown factors than it does diet. Traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicines both state that body odor is a function of diet, not the aforementioned.
On a past Oprah show, Dr. Oz was the guest expert and body odor the topic. On the show, was a young couple, an overweight, obese man and his wife. The man had terrible body odor. The show started and Oprah asked (rightly, intuitively) if diet had anything to do with body odor. Dr. Oz dismissed her, argument by saying that if you eat onions and garlic you smell like onions and garlic but the real causes of body odor were unknown factors, race and gender.
Some people for some unknown reason attracted bad bacteria that caused bad body odor. He also went on to say that some races, like black people had larger pores and therefore stunk, and some gender (I am assuming women) naturally stink because of hormones. Hormones are generally an issue associated with women, and have no smell, as far as I can tell. Most body odor is caused by poor diet and stagnation of energy, blood, fluids, stools, etc. (see article at end) not race, gender. In my opinion, Dr. Oz seems racist and gender biased. The worst part of this story is Oprah and her audience who just nodded in agreement. Intuition is one thing. Following it up is another. Not following produces ignorance.
The intuition of health is knowledge. The standard-bearer of disease is ignorance. Does your doctor educate or enslave you through ignorance, drugs, surgery, radiation, promises, diplomas, fear? If you are tired of this merry-go-round, read Hot and Cold Health.
BODY ODOR The body digests, transforms food, nutrients into blood into structure into function, into health or disease. The body is sweet and sour by nature. The sweet smell comes from blood, food, nutrients, protein, water and sugar, which are sweet tasting. The sour smell comes from the stomach (digestion, fermentation) and or an excess of sour foods. The sweet and sour smells, and or cold, damp tissue tends to produce a musty odor. Protein and fat, especially animal and poor food combining tend to produce highly pervasive, offensive odors.
The stomach is the first digestive organ to receive and process food, nutrients. It mixes food and fluids with hydrochloric acid (HCl) and other enzymes, designed specifically to digest animal protein and fat. This mixture sits, ferments, breaks down before moving down to the small intestine, for further digestion, eventual nutrient absorption. Digestion, fermentation is a souring process, which is why everyone tends to have a slightly sour smell.
Food that spends too long of a time in the stomach tends over ferment, spoil, creating excessive sour smell that can accumulate, overflow and rise up through the throat, breath, skin, armpits, etc. Overeating, tight clothing, eating while standing up, late meals and obesity tends to weaken and slow the movement of food, creating abdominal bloating, gas, burping and sour breath. Too many sour foods (milk, yogurt, ice cream and cheese, dairy and non-dairy tend also tend to cause sour body odor.
Eating salads, fruits or and or drinking cold drinks at the beginning of the meal tends to dilute and weaken digestion, acid and enzymes, slowing the movement of food. Too many vegetables (especially raw, salads), tropical fruits, juices, sugary foods, cold drinks, etc. especially in combination with dairy products (milk, yogurt and soft cheese) also tends to weaken digestion, nutrient absorption, blood, while increasing waste (solid and liquid) as whatever food, nutrients not digested becomes waste. This type of waste, dampness, in the extreme (loose stools, diarrhea and constipation), tends to produce sweet, sour and or musty body odors. Low protein and low fat diets, in the extreme, also tend to weaken, slow all function, including digestion, movement of food.
Too many grains (pasta, bread, pastry, etc.), especially in combination with oil, fat and sugar, tend to collect and clog the small and large intestines, just like excess cholesterol collects and clogs the arteries. The clog, accumulated matter (bread, pizza dough, cookies, chips, etc.) tends to be moist, damp and sweet. In the extreme, it tends to produce sweet, damp and musty body odor. It can also heat up and produce hot, damp and smelly rashes in the armpits and or groin. Avoid alcohol (beer, wine, etc.) and ice cream as both worsen dampness, body odor, rashes, etc. Animal foods, oil, etc. in excess, tend to produce damp heat.
The musty, sweet smell is a stale, moldy smell, usually associated with dampness. Damp diets (low protein, low fat and high carbohydrate), obesity, edema, cellulite, inactivity and or bulimia increase stagnant pools of dampness and or deteriorated tissues throughout the body creating a sweet, musty body odor.
The middle diet, meal plan adjusted accordingly is recommended. Cooked foods and spices (cardamom, cumin, coriander, fennel, cayenne, turmeric, etc.) increase digestion, metabolism, burning, drying of excess fluids, damp, sugar, sour smell. Spices burn, dry dampness, Bitter herbs also drain dampness, but are very cooling (contraindicated for weak, cold digestion). Cold, weak digestion tends to cause dampness. Reduce all damp foods: dairy: milk, yogurt, cheese, pizza, salads, cold drinks, alcohol, etc. Do not overeat. Take a walk after you eat. Be patient, as it will take months and or years of good eating to eliminate old, diseased tissues and rebuild, replace with new healthy smelling tissues.
