But I'm kind of put out with the almost troped "Dr. Oz is a quack" rhetoric I see on the damn internet these days. Look, I have no love for the man, I'm not a fan of his by any means, nor do I buy wholesale into "naturopathic" medicine. But Dr. Oz is a legit doctor. He successfully performs hundreds of surgeries every year. He's won awards for being a good doctor, for crying out loud. I know Cher is on our site (maybe) and I don't mean this to sound rude, but I think I'd rather have Dr. Oz operating on me in a life or death situation than a journalist whose job is literally to make him look bad. I'm not saying to give his claims about alternative medicine a chance because of that. A lot or even most of it is hocus pocus. I just think dismissing it out of hand neglects the fact that all medicine is alternative medicine until clinical trials establish and a board of doctors certify it as... um, "real" medicine I guess.
And the whole "Dr. Oz's target audience are dumb poor people" bit reheheheheheally set me off. I haven't read anything so self-righteous since... well okay, we DO have a Social Justice Absurdity thread, but still. The sorts of doctors who would write a letter to the AMA demanding the undoctoring of Dr. Oz strike me as the same sorts of people who would blast on religion relentlessly if they thought it would make them look cool to their fellow smart guys. You can almost hear them smugly asserting, "Religion appeals almost entirely to the lesser educated, lower class individuals in our society." Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't, but good God people, show some class.
Dr. Oz is an easy target and this was an easy article.

What is Reiki? According to Reiki.org, it's a technique for stress reduction that's administered by "laying on hands." It's supposed to tap into an unseen life energy that flows through all of us. You know the one.

(Presumably, the only way to stop a bad guy with a transgender-friendly privacy law is a good guy with a transgender-friendly privacy law, and thus transgender-friendly privacy law rights need to be enshrined in the Constitution as well)
