As for Oprah, I watch some of her programs, and she can be entertaining. I’d be surprised if even 25 percent of her audience follows everthything she says. Just because most of her audience members are female doesn’t mean they follow her blindly. Perhaps they admire Oprah because she came from a disadvantaged background and, with the right opportunities, became extemely successful and has been very generous and creative in her philanthropic activities. Can she be over-bearing some times? Sure. Nevertheless, she still produces interesting entertainment and food for thought.

I’ve been a practitioner of alternative health methods for many years. The fact that Oprah is just now touting them is only an indication that main stream America is getting fed up with doctors prescribing meds that merely mask symptoms. The only path to good health lies in taking charge of your own health.
