Dr. Oz Gets it Really Wrong About Pumpkin Seed OilCelebrity Health, healthy fats
On the Dr. Oz show last week, Dr. Oz shared two of his "best kept health secrets". While I did not watch the show myself (I've only watched 2 of his shows ever), several readers emailed me about it and I confirmed the topic selection by checking his blog post of the same day.
Apparently, Dr. Oz is now a big fan of pumpkin seed oil.
In fact, he is so taken with this supposed "health secret" that he described pumpkin seed oil as being in the same league with coconut oil and olive oil.
Not sure what planet Dr. Oz is coming from with that statement, but he sure isn't in Kansas anymore!
Here's what he had to say about pumpkin seed oil in his blog post:
"My next health secret can help lower your blood pressure and cholesterol. It's a cooling oil that has joined the ranks of olive and coconut oil at promoting longevity. It's pumpkin seed oil. It has a nice nutty flavor with earthy tones. Not only is it a great source of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids, it's also been shown to lower blood pressure and increase HDL or good cholesterol. The essential fatty acids also work with the HDL to lower cholesterol levels and reduce your risk of heart disease.
Use pumpkin seed oil with some fresh lemon, ginger and garlic to make your own salad dressing. You can also use it as a garnish for starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes or use as a substitute for butter."
Dr. Oz clearly does none of his own research before putting out this type of confusing and extremely misleading health information. Lower blood pressure, cholesterol and reduce risk of heart disease? Talk about being stuck in a 1950's mental time warp.
Cholesterol level is not a good indicator of heart disease risk and many doctors and researchers are now actually warning people about the dangers of lowering cholesterol. In fact, it is a complete MYTH that people with high cholesterol are more prone to heart attacks!
The truth is that young and middle-aged men with cholesterol levels over 350 are only slightly more at risk for heart attacks. Those who have cholesterol levels just below 350 are at no greater risk than those whose cholesterol is very low. For elderly men and for women of all ages, high cholesterol is associated with a longer lifespan.
Pumpkin Seed Oil Full of "Good" Fats? Not So
Regarding Dr. Oz's assertion that pumpkin seed oil is a good source of omega-3 fats – I found very conflicting information on this. Some sources claimed that there were hardly any omega-3 fats in pumpkin seed oil and others claimed up to 15%.
No doubt the truth depends on the type of pumpkin seeds the oil comes from, but the bottom line is that you really can't be sure how much omega-3 is in pumpkin seed oil. Most of the sources I checked claimed that there was little to none.
The label isn't going to help you either as omega-3 and omega-6 fats are lumped together and listed as "polyunsaturated". In addition, if the pumpkin seed oil is not cold pressed, any omega-3 fats present will be rancid and dangerous to consume anyway!
Relying on pumpkin seed oil as a source for your critically important omega-3 fats is not a good idea, Dr. Oz!
Now for the real sticking point.
Pumpkin Seed Oil is NOT as Good as Olive Oil and Coconut Oil
Dr. Oz's claim that pumpkin seed oil has "joined the ranks" of olive oil and coconut oil is nothing short of completely ludicrous. The reason is that both olive oil and coconut oil are extremely low in inflammation triggering and backside building omega-6 fats. Moreoever, coconut oil is loaded with incredibly healthy and beneficial medium chain triglycerides (MCT's) that help you lose weight and fuel your brain optimally.
Pumpkin seed oil has no MCT's at all!
Omega-6 polyunsaturated fats are are those fats that are used everywhere in processed foods (think chips, cookies, crackers, muffins – the stuff most people eat way too much of) and when these types of fats are consumed to excess, they contribute to inflammation and chronic illness.
Additionally, while a very small amount of omega-6 fats are necessary for health, when excessively consumed as happens in the Western diet, vegetable oils contribute to overproduction of neuromodulatory lipids called endocannabinoids that are responsible for signaling hunger to the brain.
Guess what these little guys do? They give you the munchies!
You may wonder why the name endocannabinoids sounds a bit like cannabis (weed). Weed is famous for giving people the munchies too so you can consider omega-6 vegetable oils the marijuana of fatty acids and pumpkin seed oil is loaded with it.
Omega-6 Fats in Pumpkin Seed Oil are the Ones to Avoid
Omega-6 fats are the type of fats that health conscious people want to avoid with their oils of choice. Why? They are already getting plenty of it in their diet and only a small amount is needed for health, so no need to get more with the oils they are choosing to cook and make salad dressing with at home.
How much omega-6 does pumpkin seed oil actually have? How about up to a whopping 64%!
According to the Australian Pumpkin Seed Company, pumpkin seed oil has the following lipid breakdown (note that there are no omega-3 fats listed):
Fatty acid profile of Pure Pumpkin Seed Oil:
- Linoleic Acid (Parent Omega 6) 64.2%
- Oleic Acid (Omega 9) 11.3%
- Palmitic Acid (saturated) 14.6%
- Stearic Acid (saturated) 9.9%
Even more conservative estimates of the omega-6 composition of pumpkin seed oil list anywhere from 42-57% which is still far too high for this oil to even be considered for home use.
By comparison, olive oil has 3-21% omega-6 fats and coconut oil has about 2%.
Should you follow Dr. Oz's advice and use pumpkin seed oil? Sure, if inflammation, chronic illness and weight gain is your goal.
Pumpkin seed oil is no way, no how in the same league as olive oil and coconut oil!
I will say one positive thing about Dr. Oz and his love of pumpkin seed oil. At least he doesn't suggest that people cook with it. He suggests to use it for salad dressing which would be the least damaging way to use it as a polyunsaturated fat like pumpkin seed oil should not be heated or used for cooking .
On the other hand, he doesn't say not to cook with it either! Maybe he made that clarification in the actual show. I hope so!
Let me suggest a piece of friendly advice. Skip the Dr. Oz Show. While he seems to be a really nice guy and does give out good information once in awhile (and has had some good guests on in the past like Dr. Mercola and Dr. Kaayla Daniel), when it comes to listening to him for consistently correct health information, his advice does nothing but confuse and ultimately harm his viewers.
He is obviously trying to please both the health community and his Big Food, Big Pharma sponsors by sitting on the fence. A tough spot to be in to keep your job, so make sure your health isn't a casualty of this back and forth battle.

All I know is that by taking pumpkin seed oil, I (and 5 of my senior friends) have reduced our nightly visits to the bathroom from an average of 4 times a night to a max of 2 visits! Some have been taking it for 1+ years; 2 of us have only been taking it for about 3 months. The results speak for themselves!

Yes, it has helped me sleep through the night without having to get up in the middle of the night, and as an added bonus, it reversed my erectile dysfunction. Without the need for viagra anymore. I also take Beta Sitosterol (the generic brands work just as well as the one you see advertised on television), and Saw Palmetto, but pumpkin seed oil made the most improvement for me. I still recommend all 3 of them, because I think they all work together.
Its very beneficial for prostate/bladder health. Ive had prostatitis for years pumpkin seed oil and the seeds are life savers.
Pumpkin contains no saturated fats or cholesterol. So pumpkin helps to save our heart. Pumpkin is the great source of dietary fiber and unsaturated fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health.
Sarah TheHealthyHomeEconomist
You didn't read the article, did you?
But just because you wrote it in an article doesn't mean it is true. You are saying that high fat diet that we all eat now days while being sedentary is just fine because people are not at any greater risk of heart attack. Lets just say the heart attack part is true for your benefit. Okay so why give people a half truth about health to lul them into a false sense of security about their current diet? Diabetes, cancer, poor circulation that leads to infinite other health problems because of capillaries clogged by fat! yeah so it isn't heart disease so great. Everything is fine. Keep eating crap!
Actually pumpkin seed raises estrogen production :
But its DHT blocking effect is good if you want to castrate yourself, or as a last resort for prostate issues (which newer schools of thought are attributing to estrogen rather than DHT)
But….. pumpkin seed oil may have other benefits. Apparently it can help with an overactive bladder possibly. Also with some prostate issues. It may lower blood pressure in post menopausal women. I'd like to understand it's effect on estrogen better. It may be useful against breast cancer. Studies at pubmed dot com.

In search of a non soy,sunflower source of phosphatidylserine I read an abstract that cited Pumpkin Seed Oil as a good source of Phospholipids PC,PS. Since pumpkin seeds are recommended by Dr Adamo for my blood type I was planning to add it to my salad dressing which is 1 tbs walnut, 4 tbs olive, 5 tbs hemp and 6 tbs flax oils. Any thoughts?
The over-consumption of Omega-6 fatty acids in the western diet is indeed problematic. That being said, a broad spectrum of EFAs are found in "alternative" oils such as Borage Oil, Sea Buckthorn Oil, Pomegranate Seed Oil, Pumpkin Seed Oil, etc. It is the antioxidant value of each particular source that science is beginning to appreciate (vitamins, minerals and synergistic compounds). For the above reasons, it's unlikely that the EFA composition was the only consideration in Dr. Oz hailing the benefits of pumpkin oil. Honestly, it would have been more appropriate to comment within the context of what was presented on the show, not merely the way the show was summarized on the website (which are two different things, and no doubt different writers/editors, too).
It's a healthy food that comes from a plant provided by nature. Like olive oil, coconut oil and any other oil claimed to have these amazing health benefits, it should be consumed in moderation. No one should read this and walk away thinking the oil is unhealthy for you. It has its particular set of health benefits just like every other edible plant. Take it for what it is, just like we do any other nut, seed or oil. Try it out for yourself to see if it feels right for you. There are highly regarded doctors that do support some claims about this oil. Dr. Mercola, a well respected "natural health" doctor proudly supports this oil. Take it for what it's worth. It is not a replacement for a healthy lifestyle, but can quite possibly contribute some healthy benefits to your life.

Pumpkin seeds or their oil are helpful for men's urinary health. European men of advanced age have used them for centuries to relieve symptoms of BPH, (benign prostate hypertrophy), a normal condition in men over 50. Pumpkin has been used for centuries in Europe for erectile dysfunction. It allegedly increases blood flow. Pumpkin seed oil also relieves symptoms of cystitis, bladder irritation associated with diet, age or medical conditions of the bladder. I have no shares in pumpkin farms. I just know I have gotten some positive effects for several medical problems. Being dismissive of it because of one aspect of its ingredients seems narrow-minded.
Paul, I'd rather get my oils in their natural state so the seeds are what I opt for: hemp seeds come first, and then a mix of chia, flax, pumpkin, sesame, sunflower, poppy (have heard about safflower seeds but haven't found them to try). I do not gorge on them, however. They also may be safer in their natural form and less quick to go rancid.
Brian Peskin has a lot to say about Parent Essential Oils, he coined the term, and I have now gone off all fish and the fish oils which I used in moderation. Five weeks of study on his and other sites regarding the dangers of fish oils, and I am sold.
My eczema flared up horribly after more than a year eating a lot of fish (Pink & Sockeye Salmon) and using the fish oils espoused by conventional and natural medicine, which may be the cause of my horrid three months of pain and eruptions.
But back to Oz. Certainly he knows where his bread and butter come from and, like other doctors and actors, he doesn't have much time left over from making money to do much actual research. That research is our responsibility, eh?
Your good points on pumpkin oil suggest that we need a mix of many oils/seed/food types and that overusing one or a few instead of a wider mix can do more harm than good. Thanks for the information on pumpkin seeds; I found this site in my study of them.
Namaste and care,
I'm used to coconut essential oil and i've got to say it's great. We have learned about applying pumpkin seed essential oil several days previously and came across your current write-up following doing a bit of more study if it's genuinely healthy. Thank you for your skills which i should better acquire my own fingers off, i seriously value that will.
Joe Falcon
I'm a 62 year old man. Pumpkin seed oil has done wonders for my urinary tract. The best research is to try it yourself instead of listening to all the know-alls.
I just wanted to say I came across this site because I was looking to buy pumpkin seed oil and was very taken aback by what was said in this article.
I need pumpkin seed oil not because Dr. Oz said it was good, or some health store suggested it – I'm buying it because my family is Austrian and Slovenian and we love the stuff! It is a staple of our diet! My mother brought back several liters the last time she went back home and we just ran out. What's funny is that for the first time I am reading what Dr. Oz claimed to be benefits of the oil – and maybe he's right!
I am quite accustomed to Slovenian food which is a hearty fair of smoked meats, potatoes, grease, fats, and salads made with Pumpkin Seed Oil. I never knew anyone who died of heart disease and few people are obese (but I admit that is starting to change as processed foods are becoming introduced). Most people drink heavily (especially a form of plum moon-shine called Slivovice) but for the most part they are healthy! They do drink a lot of home remedy teas… but looking back I knew quite a few people who were diagnosed with kidney problems that just went away or they lived with it until they died at the ripe old age of 95 or above. Also, infertility is not a common problem there like it is here – I believe that that is also a benefit from pumpkin seed oil.
Also, you don't cook with Pumpkin Seed Oil! If you tried you would notice that it burns in the pan before you could even start to saute or fry. There are some Austrian baked goods that are made with it, but I never knew anyone who did anything with it except put it on their salad.
Basically what I'm saying is try it because it tastes good. It has a nice dark nutty flavor close to sesame seed oil. Also, this is an oil that has been used for centuries my certain cultures that have a better health record than we Americans do – maybe one should not be so critical about it.
Hi Valentina, I do so readily agree with you. I too grew up in Austria and the pumpkin seed oil from Styria is the best in the world.The benefits of pumpkin seed oil – besides the incredible taste- are numerous, highest of all – and proven by years and years of research is the good it does for your urinary tract system, prevention of prostate problems for men in particular. But like you said – it just tastes awesome
Hey Valentina! Pumpkin oil is fantastic! And I agree with you that people shouldn't be cooking with it. Just add it into your salad and you'll love it!
Yes, the Western diet is quite high in omega 6 fats that can't be denied. But I imagine the people, like myself, that seek out pumpkin seed oil aren't eating a standard Western diet — at least until seen on Dr. Oz…
Linoleic Acid is only inflammatory if consumed in excess of omega 3's. Otherwise it is a beneficial, and even necessary, fat for skin, hair etc. Pumpkin seed oil is also EXTREMELY high in fat soluble chlorophyll which is very health promoting. It clears toxins from the system, helps build blood cells and so on. Pumpkin seeds (and possibly the oil too as the better quality ones are unrefined) has an amino acid, curcurbitin, that paralyzes intestinal parasites and rids the body of them. I use pumpkin seeds as a dewormer for my dogs rather than chemical dewormers. Unlike diatomaceous earth, curcurbitin is effective against tapeworms (I foster so worms are always a potential, but minor problem).
I would ask that you reconsider the benefits of pumpkin seed oil WHEN used responsibly in an otherwise health promoting diet. Thank you

People have been eating pumpkin seed oil for hundreds of years with no ill effects. It is not for cooking and used sparingly as a flavoring oil. This article does not mention the many vitamins and minerals that pumpkin seed oil contains. Pumpkin seed oil is delicious and nutritious.
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
Processed foods are loaded with omega 6 fats (vegetable oils) and people already get far too many of these fats in their diet. Eating a handful of pumpkin seeds is not the same as using pumpkin seed oil – how many pumpkin seeds need to be pressed to get even a few TBL of pumpkin seed oil? You couldn't eat that many certainly at one time. There are many other oils that are not overly heavy in omega 6 fats that have just as many vitamins and minerals and are just as nutritious without overloading people with omega 6 fats and contributing to inflammation problems like pumpkin seed oil does.
Omega-6 fatty acids are a type of unsaturated fat found in vegetable oils, nuts and seeds. When eaten in moderation and in place of the saturated fats found in meats and dairy products, omega-6 fatty acids can actually be good for your heart and brain.
There had been some controversy regarding omega-6 fatty acids. Some researchers had believed that omega-6 fatty acids metabolize in your body to become a type of fatty acid that can cause the lining of your arteries to become inflamed and damaged. That damage causes narrowing in your arteries, which can lead to heart disease.
However, the American Heart Association (AHA) has said that this view is incorrect. The AHA recommends that people eat between 5 and 10 percent of their daily calories from omega-6 fatty acids.
A Tiny Blog
You've mentioned that pumpkin seed oil can lead to weight gain. I've been eating it all of my life and have not experienced increased weight gain. I was even a bit too skinny as a child and nowadays my weight is still below recommended for my height. It's just never been that easy to gain weight for me (have been to the doctors, they couldn't find anything wrong with me). So in my case I don't see a connection between my weight and the oil. I'm not an expert on the topic or anything it's just my experience as a long time pumpkin seed oil user, I though I'd share it. On the side note, we use pumpkin seed oil for salads (it's commonly used this way) and NOT for cooking. 😉
I think he meant Grape Seed oil…
I don't know who dr. Oz is (and I don't really mind that) but he got his story a bit wrong…
I am coming from Slovenia, which is a small country in Central Europe and only one of five countries in the world which produce pumpkin oil…A couple of facts:
– no one, I mean NO ONE, compares pumpkin oil with olive oil…not in any category! apart from the one that both are oils…
– pumpkin oil SHOULD NOT be heated in anyway, anywhere…if the seeds are preheated when they are pressed it is game over!
– pumpkin oil is used for salat dressings or dressings for other foods
– again, DO NOT COOK WITH IT! it changes the taste to disgusting (and I love pumpkin oil), not to mention that is probably dangerous to your health…
– it has a very specific taste, I use it because I love it on my salats, some people like it better if it is mixed with olive oil…
– for sure it is not dangerous for ones health if it is consumed as it should be…
experiment with it, it has a very distinctive taste…I do not eat salat if I don't get pumpkin oil because then salats are boring I don't eat it because of its health impacts (even though it probably has some, because every good, organic food has it) but because of flavor it gives…
one of the best pumpkin oil which one can buy – http://www.kocbek1929.com/en/index.php . It is not a commercial, only recommendation…quite expensive though…
Loli Owlkins
Pumpkin seed oil is a traditional salad oil and garnish in Austria (where I live) and other parts of central/Eastern Europe. It isn't supposed to be consumed in large quantities like olive oil or instead of butter- but it's health benefits have been found in studies in this part of the world. If you find that you like the flavor of kürbiskernöl, enjoy it sparingly and in good health- but not by the liter in any case!
David W
Have you considered what Brian Peskin (brianpeskin.com) says…that it is omega 6 that is better…provided it is "parent" (non-derivative). He claims that the science re. omega 3 and fish oil is old…and the bad stuff about omega six is only re. the ones in grocery items which are NOT made with PEO's (parent essential oils…his term). He recommends increasing omega 6/3 ratios, provided they are PEO's. His site gives a lot of research article quotes (see his "reports" link on home page). The product he promotes is mostly made of coldpressed flaxseed oil, evening primrose oil, pumpkinseed oil and coconut oil. David W.
David, I have just spent 5 weeks studying Brian's work. I had looked a little quite at his work a year or so ago but health studies take up a lot of my time, and I was busy on other topics. I am retired but have always been interested in natural health. Finally I got to his work and I am blown away with his emphasis on science and true research, and how much of it he does himself.
I have been a heavy fish eater and taken some supplements but have been a little leery of them—sensing is very important. Now it will be fish and water oils no more.
As for using the PEO oils I am more interested in eating them in their original order as seeds though I do use hemp, and a little pumpkin oil. In their natural form surly they will be less apt to be rancid and overly processed.
It will be interesting to see how my health changes, hopefully improves, especially my problem with adult on set eczema, which hits some men (fewer women) in the mid-fifties. The skin is the window to health, and I have good skin, few wrinkles for my age, except for the flare ups in eczema that became intense about four months ago. But my energy is low and that may be my body's response to all the fish oils I have been getting.
Namaste and care,
You should see what he said about dairy! He advised people to drink soy milk and almond milk instead. There was no mention of raw milk or fermented dairy products.
Ann Hibbard via Facebook
Certainly not the first time Oz has messed up.
Dr. Oz has gone down the shitter ever since he believed that GMO's are not harmful. He's a sell out. He's got character, that's why people like him and he gives away free prizes.
America loves sell outs
Betwixt us here, I'll point out that seed oils should be avoided generally for cooking–keep it minimal. Think of flax oil: you get linseed oil (paint thinner) if it sits in the wrong conditions for the wrong amount of time. Grind your own flax for the benefits.
But also, I'll point out that there's 2 kinds of omega-6 fatty acid, one shows up regularly in food, and what the studies show is that the IMBALANCE leaning towards too much omega-6 and not enough balancing omega-3 is what is causing the health issues. Look at the nutritional profile of celery for instance: it has omega-6 in it, but it also has omega-9 and omega-3 to balance it out. But, the point is: it's whole, unadulterated (from seed to picking) and therefore balanced food. Modern genetically modified, non-grass-fed meat? Not so much the case. It's not meat that kills, it's toxic meat eaten beyond moderation.
Dr Oz isn't alone on this. Check out these links http://www.livestrong.com/article/179871-health-benefits-of-pumpkin-seed-oil/ and also http://www.ehow.com/about_5106341_health-benefits-pumpkin-seed-oil.html and also http://healthandenergyfoods.com/pumpkin-seed-oil-benefits just to list a few. So I think it is each person's responsibility to do their own research from a number of sources and then form their own conclusion. Native Americans have used Pumpkin Seed Oil for medicinal purposes, long before the white man came along. And now Chinese research reported on OrganicFoodie.com found that pumpkin seeds appear to benefit people with acute schistosomiasis—a severe parasitic disease. So do your own in depth research.

If you don't watch Dr. Oz, how do you know what he said, any way you sound jealous to me!! Calm down and listen No one has all the answers but God and you are not HIM!!
yah i watch him some. cold winter months because I find his stupidity so entertaining. also a lot of people I know take his word as gospel so I like to know what he says so I can show people truth from Mercola and others like him…like your site I like to know what he said if friends are going to believe it.. and when Oz has Mercola on he is really trying to bash him more then get the word out!! sad he misses it.
Dr. Oz says whatever his sponsors tell him to say.
Oh, Sarah! You are amazing. I could tell by the omega-6 content that this was something to stay away from. There was a guy a few months ago who MAKES pumpkin seed oil, giving out samples at the local health food store.
Didn't strike my fancy at the time, but didn't look into it until now. THANKS!!

Thanks for the info (and research to go along w/it)…is it still safe to eat pumpkin seeds?
I can't remember ever seeing Dr. Oz shows and I definitely have no interest in the man after reading these comments… He says there's no difference between eating organic and pesticide food? What planet is he living on!? That right there is enough to make me close the door on his face. He claims to be a health expert and advocate and seems to be pushing garbage around…. no bueno Dr. Oz!
Helen T
I enjoyed going to his Facebook page after his infamous statement on organic versus pesticides and reading the REAMS of indignant comments. How did he think he could get away with that? The genie is out of the bottle…….
This question is a little unrelated, but, for some reason I cannot eat any type of nuts except macadamian nuts. Everything else gives me a stomache ache almost immediately and the pain remains for almost a day or two. Even if I soak them its just no use. I thought I was going crazy but I tested out my hypothesis again with some almonds and a nut bar and now I am withering in pain. Could this be due to the type of fats as well? I also cant eat bread without feeling terrible the next day, but quinoa, rice and corn are okay. DOes this make any sense?

I'm pretty sure Dr. Oz doesn't know his head from his ass on most health related subjects. He's just a smorgasbord of bad information for individuals trying to better their health. Shameful, actually.
Michelle Proffit Ennis via Facebook
Almost anything out of Dr. Oz's mouth should be ignored. I have been shocked so many times at the BS he promotes.
Another possible side effect of pumpkin seed oil is the estrogenic effects. I had taken a vitamin E for a couple months recenently. I selected one that was touted as not being derived from soy. Well just a few months of one vitamin E daily and it totally altered my menstral cycle severly. I wasn't taking anything else differently, just added the vitamin E (North American Herb and Spice Purely-E, containing Pumpkin seed oil) daily. Sarah I'm wondering if you have any research in regards to the estrogenic effect and I'm also wondering if it is healthy for men, as it is in many of the prostrate support formulas (along with Saw palmetto)?

He's a con-man & half-truth "doctor"
Rachel Meier via Facebook
I think his heart is in the right place. Sometimes he gets it right. Sometimes he gets it wrong. I like that when he realizes he's wrong, he will do a show about it. Like recommending WHOLE eggs instead of egg whites. Or telling the truth about cholesterol and cholesterol meds. This is huge for a medical doctor. He tries. I don't agree with his take on pumpkin oil but I respect him.
Tracy Beteta via Facebook
I quit following Dr. Oz over a year ago. He was touting a supplement as some sort of miracle cure but didn't warn about serious side effects. So when I went to research it for myself I found that they supplement was in fact NOT a safe supplement for anyone with a thyroid disorder, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease or auto-immune disorder. He NEVER once mentioned any of these important factors. How many people just blindly accept his word as gospel and don't do their own research and then end up hurting themselves or getting sick? Its just not worth it. Then when he 'sold out' over the GMO and organic deal…I lost all respect for him together. There are plenty more reliable resources out there. The important things is that no matter what source your get your info from, it is YOUR responsibility to do the research and protect your own health!
Kristi Harrell Anderson via Facebook
Lost all respect for that show a long time ago because it's sensationalistic. I think Dr. oz is a nice guy, but deep down he has to know that he is pedaling BS.

People get their health information from all kinds of sources, including tv, books, their doctors, and (ahem) blogs, etc. and even with the conflicting info, all these sources claim to have research to back up their claims. I guess I can't help but wonder what qualifies one source over another? There's no need to snub and ridicule people who have differing health views – just lay out the facts and let your readers make their best judgment.
Agreed! My thoughts exactly, Katherine!

Dr. Oz is wrong about many things, but altogether, he's great! I mean he had Dr. Mercola on his show a few times, exposed antidepressants and even mercury filling which is totally going against mainstream! Yay for Dr. Oz!

Thanks for the information!

That must mean that Monsanto has invested in a pumpkin farm. 😉
Yes, they have a hand in so many things…I have heard that they have some sort of link to the fertilizer plant that blew up and I heard that they purchased an organization called, "Blackstone." Wish they had a conscience about what they are doing to the public, but, it is obvious they don't. It is just a given that they are willing to promote whatever makes them more money. Buyer Beware.

Dr. Oz is scary. I listen to nothing he says.

Joy Bauer on the Today show is worse. Yes, I wouldn't take the advice of most regular medical doctors let alone the mainstream ones on TV. lol. They spout the same old 80's scientifically outdated myths they've been spouting since, well, the 80's!

I have never gotten into the Dr. Oz craze….he just never seemed sincere to me….seemed kinda hokey….

I've totally given up on believing ANYTHING 'Dr. Oz' recommends. He lost me at organic food isn't any different that pesticide covered food.

How about rice bran oil? Is that healthy for cooking?

He also had a segment about the dangers of processed cheese…then had a lady on their talking about how to cut calories and she made a sandwich with processed cheese slices. ?! He's a walking contradiction.

Thank you for your voice to share your knowledge. It has made me very wary. I see how much we are "marketed" to when seemingly healthy food, is not at all what they claim.
Thank you for this info. I rarely watch him, but i did catch this episode. Generally i don't trust what he says. (I do think about 30% of what he advocates borders on good advice, the problem is finding that 30% and most of his viewers don't seem to have very good critical thinking skills or research it.)
I did note that he cautioned about coconut oil because of the saturated fat, which is stupid. And i know that dietary cholesterol and heart disease are not related, certainly not in the manner most doctors relate it.
But i was interested in the pumpkin seed oil and hadn't yet researched it. Thanks for doing that and bringing this to our attention.
Has he ever had coconut oil expert Bruce Fife on his show? If not, he really should in order to set the record straight on the benefits of coconut oil.
I think he has talked about benefits of coconut oil, but then he back tracks. (As i said, i don't watch all that often, maybe 1 show in 40, usually when he has someone like Dr. William Davis of Wheat Belly, or Mercola.)
He still believes in the cholesterol theory of heart disease and "healthy whole grains." He will show one thing on one program, and then say the opposite on another. I think he is dangerous because he flips so much and people will say, "Doctor Oz said . . . " as if that is the last word and they don't research it for themselves.
However, he has made some good suggestions. My FIL removed a very large, melanoma-waiting-to-happen mole with vinegar, following Oz's advice. You cannot even see where it was. We did the same for a smaller one on my husband's face. My MIL decided to use fish oil instead of drugs for cholesterol, after watching Oz.

I cannot stand Dr Oz. He is a sell out and an opportunist. Who ever pays him the most is who he will recommend on his show.

I wonder what you think about hemp seed oil. I've read a number of negative things about seed oils, I want to know if this applies to all seed oils.

He also promotes vaccines, but does not vaccinate his children.
really that's interesting!!!!!!!
Here is an article about him not vaccinating
Thank you so much for that article. I was able to find a video on YouTube that confirmed the article.

I have never heard of one thing from "Dr. Oz" on which I didn't have better information.

I tend to agree he is a live version of Prevention Magazine. What is bad today is good tomorrow with him.

Dr Oz is a fake and just uses his show for money not for truth!
Ellen Vork via Facebook
Once I saw a show from dr. Oz with a group of firemen, trying to lose weight. They weren't allowed to eat meat anymore, only veggie's, etc. Yes, with that kind of diet you have enough energy to control fires….
Bill Zitsch
I am 59yrs old and have been a vegan for 25yrs and a vegetarian for 30yrs. I am a letter carrier at the Post Office on an all walking route. None of the other younger meat eaters want anything to do with my route. So much for meat eaters having more energy!
Mary McCandrew Babst via Facebook
I lost all respect/trust for him when he became a sell out regarding organic foods
Rochelle Shelly Rosenkild via Facebook
He also had a show where he promoted safflower oil. Isn't that dangerous, too?
most likely. i only use it in lotion i make if i cant find organic sunflower for my lotion. its one some say it good others don't….
When i looked through the bundle i couldn't find your book listed. What is it called again?
Never mind, sometimes you can't see the mountains for the trees!
Dr Oz used to say good things when he was on Oprah, but now that he has his own show he has caved in to what the establishement wants him to say. I heard he had some guests on and they were both lactose intolerant. He told them to completely cut out all dairy. He never mentioned that they might be ok on raw milk products.
I was not aware that pumpkin seed oil was an unhealthy oil and in fact have been using it in salads because I had read that it is very good for men for their prostate glands. I thought I was doing something good for my husband. Darn.
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
Saw palmetto is a very helpful herb for prostate health.
Why not add actual pumpkin seeds (preferably soaked and dehydrated) to your salads instead of a processed oil? That would be even better for the prostate and for overall health.
Sharan West
Pumpkin Seed Oil is a healthy oil. Many men taking our Australian Pumpkin Seed Company pumpkin seed oil take it for prostate problems and get great results from it (eg lower PSI, reducing prostate size, not having to get up to go to the toilet 10 times and night to sleep all the way through). Remember a while ago, when people started getting fat, all the talk was that saturated fats (especially coconut oil which is mainly saturated) were to blame and were the "bad" ones…. surprise, surprise, now they say some saturated fats are actually GOOD for you! Now the push for something to blame has turned to Omega 6. There was probably some study with conclusions that are not fully told or not accurate that started this talking. Omega 3 and 6 are said to be essential fatty acids, meaning we need to get them in our diet as our body cannot produce them, like it can produce Omega 9 (the main fatty acid in olive oil). Go to http://www.brianpeskin.com for some good information on fats, benefits etc. The problem with people now 'getting too much Omega 6' is that its all the cheap highly processed stuff. In the chips, cakes, sauces and just about any processed, made up foods on the supermarket shelf that has fats in it is most likely not using a good quality unrefined oil as it increases the price. We all demand cheaper food and that is what we get – if you don't pay for quality food now you will be paying expensive medical bills later. The 'vegetable' oils used in processed foods or fast food/takeaway places is the cheap stuff which is usually RBD – refined, bleached and deoderised! Sounds great for your health! NOT! Its the processing methods of Omega 6 fats/oils thats contributing to peoples health issues, not good quality pumpkin seed oil!. The movement for people to cut fat out of their diets has resulted in people getting fatter. Fats are used by our bodies to produce hormones and are components of body tissues, muscles, brains etc, cut them out and you do more damage. What about sugar??? I could go on and on. Its not just one food, element or nutrient causing peoples unhealthiness, its a combination of a lot of things including the modern faster, cheaper, easier processing methods. We use a long, slow 300 year old method to make a healthy pumpkin seed oil… in my opinion based on the many testimonials we get and research 😉
I like Styrian pumpkin seed oil on occasion. Don't see it as a health negative.
Laszlo Mecseki
I like Hungarian pumpkin seed oil. My father and grand and great grandfather did. We didn't see it as health negative. They worked hard all in their life until being 90 y.o. I have three uncle and two aunty. they are not ill.
No. Seed oils suppress thyroid function, upset digestion and promote the growth of cancerous cells.
And it doesn't matter at all that the stuff you're hawking is refined by a "long, slow 300 year old method;" with that concentration of omega-6, the oil will easily oxidize at body temperature and as it reacts to the oxygen in our tissues.
Please, take your fallacious and harmful advertisements elsewhere.
Then does that mean that seeds too "suppress thyroid function, upset digestion and promote the growth of cancerous cells"? What if I enjoy eating a couple of handfuls of raw pumpkin seeds from time to time?
Geez Jade, Maybe you should reduce the amount of lemons in your diet, it might make you less sour.
There are plenty of studies to say that Omega-6 is good for your body and this is backed up by The American Heart Association, the World Heath Organization, The Food and Agricultural Organization, among others. There are some inflammatory components in Omega-6 but the anti inflammatory components overide this quite substantially.
Sharan, you have made some good points.
Charlotte smith
Are you able to get a copy if this to Dr. Oz? Or perhaps he's already a subscriber he needs a wakeup call!
Oz gets it wrong most of the time.
Hi Sarah,
I have an unrelated question. I have a 19 month old who is nursing 6-8 times a day still. I am taking 2 tsp. of FCLO/FSLO (they were out of the HVBO when I ordered). By the time evening comes I am CRAVING cream. Not just a bit but heavy cream, the kind most gag on. When I have a mouthful or two I am content, no drive for anything else to eat or drink. Do you think I am missing something in my diet that is needed or is it just a craving?
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
You just need the cream .. you are nursing after all! I craved cream too when I was nursing. Just eat and enjoy! Hopefully your child is eating a good amount of solids at 19 months though. 6-8 times a day nursing at that age is a lot.
Thank you for your reply. She does eat some solids. I have taken the approach of letting her eat what she can from the family meals. She has a definite milk allergy (hives on contact from pasteurized and raw milk, no problems with cream, whey, and butter) numerous chemical sensitivities (bandades, lotions, even "safe" baby washes). We are beginning GAPS June 1 in hopes of healing these, scalp psoriasis in our older two, and numerous complaints from my husband that appear to be addressed by GAPS. I know it won't hurt me any either! I may keep up my pint of kefir a day though. I have to look in to that one still.
Babies are all different, my little guy was still nursing a ton at that age and not a lot of interest in table food until around 21 months, our doctor was supportive and encouraged me to listen to my babies preferences for milk…he was very healthy and so I did. Let your little one proceed as nature directs it–it will know best. "IF" your milk is providing what is needed the baby may still prefer your milk over other foods…or if its not then it will eat more and require less milk. Bottom line listen to your body and your cravings and feed your self really well and nutrient dense. What ever your eating or not eating is what your baby ultimately gets through your breast milk.
Yes, all 6 of mine including my 22 month old nurse tons at this age. They all preferred it to solids. All healthy and fine. I'd say my 22 month old nurses 10-12 times a day or so.
Dr. Oz is constantly spewing misinformation and contradicts himself from each episode to the next.
Rosemary C
I think Dr Oz is just desperate for anything new to promote to keep his show up there in the ratings and if that means giving out misinformation or creating controversy, fine, as long as he's being talked about
Yes, his show seems to be a joke now even though he seemed to be a good man with a good holistic view to healthcare. No telling what the network makes him do. Sad.

Larry Elliot Klayman (born July 20, 1951) is a politically conservative American public interest lawyer[4] and former U.S. Justice Department prosecutor who has been called a "Clinton nemesis"[5][6] for his dozens of lawsuits against the Bill Clinton administration in the 90s.[7][8][9] The founder of Judicial Watch[10][11] and the government watchdog group Freedom Watch,[12] he has brought legal action against former Vice President Dick Cheney,[13][14] President Barack Obama,[15][16] OPEC, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,[17] Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan,[18] Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg,[19][20] and the National Security Agency (NSA). In the last case, a federal judge ruled in December 2013 that the NSA's bulk collection of telephony metadata violated the Fourth Amendment.[21][22]

Education and career[edit]
Larry Klayman graduated with honors from Duke University with a B.A. in Political Science and French Literature. He received his J.D. from Emory University Law School. In addition to English, he speaks French and Italian.[23][24][25]
During the Ronald Reagan administration, Klayman was a federal prosecutor in the United States Justice Department (DOJ) and was on the trial team that succeeded in breaking up the telephone monopoly of AT&T.[citation needed]
In 2004, Klayman ran for the United States Senate from Florida but lost in the United States Republican Party primary, finishing seventh out of eight candidates.[26]
After his run for the U.S. Senate, Klayman formed the organization Freedom Watch.[23] He says the name originated from an NBC episode of The West Wing in which he was caricatured as Harry Claypool.[27]
Klayman wrote the books Fatal Neglect and Whores: Why and How I Came to Fight the Establishment, and writes a weekly column for the conservative news website WorldNetDaily.
Klayman was born to Jewish parents, and identifies himself as "both a Jew and a Christian".[28][29]
Hardball tactics[edit]
Klayman's opponents denounce his relentless style of litigation, where he seems "undeterred by either criticism or setbacks," and claim he uses the court system as a "weapon" against his political enemies. In the 90s, Klayman deposed several White House officials, probing James Carville about his television habits, Paul Begala about his priest, and George Stephanopoulos about his traffic tickets. Carville publicly described Klayman as a "little twerp" and Klayman responded by grilling him about the statement during deposition.[9][30]
Klayman's approach to litigation is not simply to win cases, but to unearth documents normally hidden from the public, as well as to garner media attention. His methodology is credited with affecting Washington D.C. culture in how investigations are conducted today.[31]
NBC's The West Wing parodied Klayman in an episode that aired in 2000. The following dialogue is cited from Washington Post Magazine, where Klayman was featured on the front cover:
"JOSH: This is the seventh lawsuit you've brought against the White House, and the fourth time you've deposed me and demanded to see documents that don't exist. ... CLAYPOOL: I'd like to remind you that you're under oath. SAM: And I'd like to remind you that that's the seventh time that you've reminded him."[31]
Sanctions and discipline imposed[edit]
Following Klayman's behavior in a 1992 trial in California federal court, Judge William Keller barred Klayman from his courtroom for life; five years later, in a separate case in New York, Klayman's behavior led then district judge Denny Chin to issue a lifetime ban on the attorney practicing law before him.[32] In his book Whores, Klayman gives a detailed account of his dealings with Keller and Chin, and claims that Keller acted "erratic" and was "obviously drunk" at the bench, and that Chin was "belligerent and disrespectful." He says they exemplify why judges should routinely undergo psychological testing.
In 2007, Klayman received a $25,000 retainer from a Daytona Beach woman facing criminal charges[33] and she accused him of not providing legal services in return. The Florida Bar Association mediated the matter and Klayman agreed to pay off a small portion within 90 days, but after the deadline lapsed he was reprimanded by the association.[34][35]
In 2014, Klayman agreed to be publicly censured by the D.C. bar. Klayman represented three individuals who had sued Judicial Watch, his former employer and client, but he failed to obtain Judicial Watch's consent to waive his conflict of interest. Klayman maintained that the bar "recognized there was no evidence of dishonesty or personal gain."[36]
The Clintons[edit]
Klayman is known for his litigious battles with the Bill Clinton White House in the 90s. His government watchdog group Judicial Watch (which he established in 1994) brought a reported 18 civil lawsuits against the administration, alleging ethical misconduct and criminal activity.[19][37] In one case, a federal judge ruled that Clinton violated the Privacy Act when he released personal letters[38] between him and a female White House volunteer. The woman had appeared on national television accusing him of making improper sexual advances, and Clinton claimed he released the letters to discredit her.[39] The judge determined this was an act of criminal intent, but that ruling was called "inappropriate" by the appellate court.[40][41][42][43]
In the Clinton-era fundraising scandal known as Chinagate, Judicial Watch was awarded nearly a million dollars in attorney fees against the U.S. Department of Commerce.[31]
Klayman represented Gennifer Flowers, who claimed to be one of Bill Clinton's mistresses, in a defamation suit against Hillary Clinton.[44] Klayman also represented Dolly Kyle, another woman who claimed to be a mistress of Bill Clinton, in her unsuccessful lawsuit against him.[45]
Bill Clinton needled Klayman during a presidential press conference in 1999.[46]
Klayman represented Jared Paul Stern in his unsuccessful defamation lawsuit against the Clintons, Ronald Burkle, and the Daily News.[47]
Klayman filed a FOIA request, seeking access to Hillary Clinton's e-mails during her tenure as Secretary of State.[48]
In March 2015, Klayman filed a racketeering lawsuit against Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and the Clinton Foundation, alleging Hillary Clinton sold access to U.S. government officials in return for donations to the Clinton Foundation.[49] In August 2015, a federal court dismissed Klayman's suit.[50]
José Basulto[edit]
Klayman represented José Basulto[51] of the Cuban exile organization Brothers to the Rescue and won a $1.7 million judgment against Fidel Castro in 2005. The Cuban government shot down and killed four of Basulto's colleagues (and nearly himself) as they flew over international waters.[52][53]
Ground Zero mosque[edit]
In 2010, Klayman represented Vincent Forras in a lawsuit against Feisal Abdul Rauf to prevent the building of the so-called "Ground Zero mosque." In the motion to dismiss, Rauf's attorney called Klayman an "infamous publicity hound" and wrote that Forras "trades in his well deserved laurels for fifteen minutes of fame as a nationally recognized bigot." Klayman and Forras sought sanctions, but the court denied that request and dismissed the suit.[54] Klayman and Forras then sued Rauf and his attorney for defamation. The judge ruled this second lawsuit was a SLAPP suit, and it was dismissed, though both rulings are still under appeal.[55][56]
In April 2011, Klayman filed a lawsuit against Facebook, accusing the social media website of "negligence" for not responding quickly enough to calls to take down an anti-Israel "Third Intifada" page and demanding $1 billion in damages. Facebook representatives responded that the suit was "without merit."[57] In December 2012, the district court dismissed the complaint on 47 U.S.C. 230 grounds.[58]
Esquire magazine[edit]
Also in 2011, Klayman represented Joseph Farah in his defamation lawsuit against Esquire magazine. A federal district judge dismissed the suit, and the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit affirmed the dismissal.[59][60][61]
Rachel Maddow[edit]
In July 2011, Klayman represented Bradlee Dean in a defamation suit against Rachel Maddow; the suit was unsuccessful and Dean was eventually ordered to pay defendants' legal fees that totaled nearly $25,000.[62][63]
SEAL Team 6[edit]
Klayman is representing families of members of Navy SEAL Team 6, the elite special forces who killed Osama bin Laden, who died after their helicopter was shot down by the Taliban three months later. Klayman contends the Obama administration put the Navy SEALs at risk by disclosing their identity.[64]
National Security Agency[edit]
In June 2013, Klayman sued the Obama administration over the collection of phone records by the National Security Agency (NSA). A federal judge agreed with Klayman that the surveillance program is likely unconstitutional and described it as "almost Orwellian," but stayed an injunction that would stop it pending an appeal by the U.S. government.[65] The ACLU and Senator Rand Paul had filed similar cases, but Klayman's was the only one to gain a favorable court ruling.[31] In August 2015, however, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated the injunction, ruling that Klayman had failed to show that his own records had been collected.[66] In November 2015, the district court enjoined the NSA from collecting data about Klayman's client, a California lawyer who had recently been added to the lawsuit, but the D.C. Circuit court stayed enforcement of the injunction.[67]
In August 2015, on behalf of five former government employees who had voiced complaints about the Trailblazer Project, Klayman filed a lawsuit against the NSA, the DOJ, and former employees of those agencies. The lawsuit sought over $100 million damages as compensation for the alleged retaliation that they had suffered.[68]
In October 2014, Klayman sued the Obama administration, claiming that it secretly allowed the Ebola virus to enter the United States so it could be used against Americans of the "Caucasian race and Jewish-Christian religion".[69]
In November 2014, Klayman filed a lawsuit on behalf of Joe Arpaio, alleging that the Obama administration's actions regarding federal immigration policy were not authorized by Congress.[70] In December 2014, a federal court dismissed the lawsuit, concluding that Arpaio lacked standing to challenge the policy changes.[71] In August 2015, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit affirmed the dismissal.[72] In January 2016, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Arpaio's case.[73]
Dennis Montgomery[edit]
In February 2015, Klayman filed a lawsuit on behalf of Dennis L. Montgomery, who sued James Risen, the author of Pay Any Price: Greed, Power, and Endless War, for defamation, alleging the book falsely described Montgomery as "the maestro behind what many current and former U.S. officials and others familiar with the case now believe was one of the most elaborate and dangerous hoaxes in American history."[74] In July 2016, a federal court dismissed Montgomery's lawsuit.[75]
In May 2015, Klayman also represented Montgomery in his request to intervene in the contempt proceedings against Joe Arpaio in a lawsuit that initially alleged Maricopa County had engaged in impermissible racial profiling, but later revealed that Arpaio had allegedly hired Montgomery to investigate the DOJ.[76] On Montgomery's behalf, Klayman asked the judge presiding over Arpaio's lawsuit to recuse himself; Montgomery also asked the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit to replace the judge, but the court declined to do so.[77]
In July 2015, Klayman sued Obama and members of Congress to block the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015 and the proposed agreement regarding Iran's use of nuclear power.[78] In September 2015, the federal court dismissed the lawsuit, stating that Klayman lacked standing.[79]
Gun Control[edit]
In January 2016, Klayman sued Obama, the U.S. Attorney General, and the director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to block Obama's recent executive actions on gun control.[80]
In January 2016, on behalf of five individuals who suffered physical harm after taking Levaquin, Klayman sued the drug's manufacturer, Johnson & Johnson, former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Margaret Hamburg, and her husband, Peter Brown, alleging they colluded to enrich themselves by not warning the public about the drug's dangerousness.[81]
Cliven Bundy[edit]
In March 2016, Klayman applied in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada for permission to represent Cliven Bundy in the criminal case stemming from the 2014 Bundy standoff.[82] Chief Judge Gloria Navarro denied Klayman's request, citing his failure to fully disclose the extent of his prior professional discipline.[83]
Republican National Committee[edit]
In April 2016, Klayman sued the Republican National Committee, alleging its leaders conspired to deprive Donald Trump from being awarded the delegates he had won in the 2016 Republican Party primary for Florida.[84]
2016 shooting of Dallas police officers[edit]
In the wake of the 2016 shooting of Dallas police officers, Klayman filed a lawsuit against Obama, former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, Al Sharpton, and some of the founders of the Black Lives Matter movement, alleging they had incited a "race war" that led to the shooting.[85]
Defamation lawsuits[edit]
Phoenix New Times and City Pages[edit]
In 2009, Klayman was involved in a custody dispute with his ex-wife. In 2012, the City Pages and Phoenix New Times newspapers reported on the case, and Klayman sued them for defamation. In 2015, a federal judge dismissed Klayman's defamation lawsuit, finding Klayman failed to prove that the newspapers published the articles with actual malice.[86] In May 2016, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal.[87]
Judicial Watch[edit]
In 2012, a Judicial Watch employee falsely told Orly Taitz that Klayman had been convicted of not paying child support (Klayman had been indicted, but the charges were later dismissed). Taitz then published the employee's comment on her website. Klayman sued Judicial Watch for defamation, and in 2014, a federal jury awarded Klayman $156,000 in compensatory damages and $25,000 in punitive damages.[88]
Klayman's mother[edit]
In 1998, Klayman sued his mother for $50,000, seeking reimbursement for medical care provided to his maternal grandmother. After Klayman's brother told Newsweek magazine of the lawsuit, Klayman alleged that the Clinton White House was responsible for the magazine acquiring the information.[32] In 2013, Klayman defended his actions in an interview with ABC News, and said it was "essentially a case against my stepfather" and that he named his mother "because legally she was next of kin."[89]
Challenges to presidential eligibility[edit]
In 2012, Klayman filed on behalf of a Florida resident an unsuccessful challenge to Barack Obama's placement on the primary ballot and claimed the president is not a natural-born citizen as required by the Constitution.[90]
In November 2012, Klayman represented the presidential candidate for the Constitution Party and a member of the Alabama Republican party, who alleged the Alabama Secretary of State had a duty to investigate Obama's eligibility. The trial court dismissed the complaint, and the Alabama Supreme Court affirmed the dismissal. Chief Justice Roy Moore and another justice dissented, arguing the Secretary of State did have the authority to conduct such an investigation. Two other justices wrote concurring opinions that supported the dismissal and addressed the dissenting opinions.[91]
In 2013, a citizen grand jury formed by Klayman "indicted" Obama and others of various crimes (including involuntary manslaughter), "convicted" Obama of fraud, and alleged the president forged his birth certificate in order to pass eligibility requirements.[92][93]
On October 13, 2013, during the US government shutdown, Klayman urged a conservative rally in Washington, D.C., to begin a "second American non-violent Revolution" and demanded that President Obama "put the Quran down ... [and] figuratively come out with his hands up."[12] Weeks later, Klayman sponsored a "Reclaim America" rally in Lafayette Square across from the White House, calling for the president's removal.[94][95] Klayman stated that if Obama did not resign, conservative activists would meet to establish a "shadow government".[96] Klayman had encouraged "millions to occupy Washington D.C.," but reported attendance was between 130 and 200.[95]
In October 2014, Klayman requested that the Department of Homeland Security initiate deportation proceedings against Obama.[97]
Ted Cruz[edit]
Following Ted Cruz's announcement that he will seek the Republican nomination for the 2016 presidential election, Klayman stated that Cruz is not eligible.[98]

Stock Market Annual Cycle Undergoes Important Test 0 comments
In late 1999, our Secular Trend Score (NYSEMKT:STS), which analyzes a large basket of fundamental, internal, technical and sentiment data, issued a secular trend sell signal for the stock market. At the time, our computer models predicted that stocks would enter a secular bear market that would last from 10 to 20 years. Following the topping process in 2000, a prototypical secular bear market began and it continues today.
The latest cyclical bull market from early 2009 has a current duration of 45 months. When they occur during secular bear markets, cyclical uptrends have an average duration of 33 months, so the formation of the latest long-term cycle high (LTCH) is overdue and it could occur at any time.
Long-term tops nearly always form in conjunction with an annual cycle translation change, so it will be important to monitor the development of each annual cycle closely until the overdue LTCH is in place.
We are six months into the annual cycle from June and a meaningful signal could occur as soon as December. Therefore, it will be important to monitor market behavior closely during the next two months for this potentially significant development with respect to long-term direction.
We will identify the key developments as they occur in our daily market forecasts and signal notifications available to subscribers.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.Back To Erik McCurdy's Instablog HomePage »
