Dr. Oz warns viewers about “fake” psychics wants you to pay for “real” ones.
I am totally sure Dr. Oz will do the right thing to get good quality information out to the general public because, after all, that is his brand. I mean just this week he warned his viewers about “fake” psychics.
Apparently, there are “tons of fake psychics preying on innocent people’s hopes and dreams” and it is time to put and end to theses “scams” so you can spend your money on Oz Approved™ “real” psychics.
Wow, Dr. Oz had some pretty intense training in mediums his cardiothoracic surgery residency.
Have you thought about buying a purse?
This is what mediums do, they pick up on cues from their subject based on things like how their subject is dressed or their posture and microexpressions and then offer an educated guess as proof of personal information they gleaned from speaking with a loved one who has “crossed over.” And yes, they charge for that. Laura Lynne Jackson is big time now and just does speaking engagements.
Don’t go to a “fake” psychic or medium, but buying a book from an Oz Approved™ medium is ok and paying a “real” psychic is totally fine and absolutely worth your hard earned dollars, just doesn’t buy candles and crystals from a Romanian psychic. Make sure you go to GOOP.com for that.
Right on! Dr. Oz is a celebrity snake oil salesman. And he’s creepy too!
Hey Dr. Jen! You may want to read over this article again. It looks like a few sentences need some editing.
I write 55-word stories. This one about Oz doesn’t “flow” that well but I wrote it to make a point.
Paramedics arrived, he was in pain with several broken bones.
Yes, there is a Doctor Oz. Another of Oprah’s creations, if you will. After appearing on her show, in scrubs for cryin’ out loud, he end-up with his own show. And, many folks who are home during the day never miss an episode. I think he likes to be known as America’s Doctor. Well, he surely isn’t my doctor. His wife is a so-called Reiki Master and he routinely has psychics and such on his program and of course, promotes the latest weight-loss miracle pill. And, yes, he has been highly criticized by the MD community and spent some time at a congressional hearing.
So, how did it happen, that a supposedly skilled heart surgeon becomes a huckster for sham treatments? My best guess; money, grandiosity, narcissism, and ego. And, his inability or refusal to see himself for what he has become.
While George is making a point, I have actually had that happen through a very good friend of mine. I had a serious injury, she offered remote healing Reiki. The damage these quacks do cannot be measured. I dealt with escalating and severe domestic violence and instead of helping me get him out of my home; she decided it was Karma from a previous lifetime. I was left to die while she was sending me energy instead of calling 911.
This is not a dumb uneducated woman; we are both trained in science. She became addicted to Oprah.
If I may? There are many natural remedies that work. Many that have drug interactions that ideally physicians would be aware of. I haven’t watched the video you are referring to and do not wish to find it, but superstition and belief in psychics and curses isn’t a Rumanian scam, many eastern European cultures believe in curses. Italians believe in the “evil eye”. The list is endless.
One suggestion I have would be to change science loving to hating. The people who need to read this post the most might not get the sarcasm.
You have to have standards when engaging a psychic. Personally, if I don’t get some lottery or Keno numbers right away? I’m hanging up that phone.
Hope I’m not posting too much. But, yes, I have a 55-word story about psychics. Yes, again the words may not flow well, but…I had a point to make.
Of Course Psychics are Ethical!
Consulted with her psychic about deceased family members and sought her counsel on important life decisions.
Became unemployed after a downsizing.
I would surely hope that no one who is reading this book needs an explanation of the story. On the off chance, that anyone thinks there is such a thing as psychic ability, hey…you’re wrong. Or, let me put it to you this way, no one has ever proven they have psychic abilities, period!
For over 40 years, James Randi at the James Randi Educational Fountain has offered money to anyone who can prove they have the ability. Randi recently retired, as I understand it, at about 88. The prize had risen to $1,000,000. Yep, a million bucks. A few years back he even started contacting all of the TV psychics. Of course, no takers! It’s trickery folks, period.
Want to become a psychic? Lookup COLD READING. That will get you started.
He may approve Japanese ones too! There’s a show on Netflix following one of famous ones that you should consider. These folks are highly sought after; I remember one of the judges on Iron Chef being a pro psychic. It really is a Japanese thing still.
Hahahahaha oh dear. I’m reading The Kreutzer Sonata by Tolstoy and – basically it is a rant. But in it he has ranted about Drs being hucksters out to make a buck and nothing else – put your faith in God – belief in medicine is for the godless! Interesting reading in light of this – and it is free to download via Project Gutenberg.
Why even mention Romania!? Because he’s invoking Fear Of The Other by using the stereotype of Romani people as gaudy con-artists, conjuring the imagery of greedy “Gyp$y Thieves” loaded down with excessive jewelry and spitting curses at people as if we’re living in Stephen King’s Thinner. He’s relying on the audience’s bigotry to fill in the blanks and do the rest. Is it any wonder The White House Resident thinks Oz is a perfect fit for this administration? UGH!
I grew up around people who believed in psychics, and knew very well a few who claimed to be psychic. They always had their thoughts about the ‘fake’ ones. It’s sort of a pre-emptive strike, a means of answering criticisms in advance while displacing any concerns you might have onto someone else.
