  • Dr. Oz Prescribes $18-Million Palm Beach Home for Himself
    Dr. Oz prescribes $18-Million Palm Beach Home for himself By Jose Lambiet, GossipExtra.com, for SouthFloridaReporter.com, Oct. 6, 2015 – PALM BEACH — TV quackery sure pays off: Oprah Winfrey protege Dr. Mehmet Oz has just plunked down $18 million for an oceanfront Palm Beach mansion. The host of the syndicated The Dr. Oz Show and his wife Lisa Oz purchased the historic Mizner-designed property Louwana, at 473 N. County Road, from Cristina de Heeren Noble Friday, according to Palm Beach County records. The Ozs bought the crib in the name of a secret trust but then took out a $5 million-mortgage from de Heeren Noble, records show. The loan has to be paid back in three years. The property boasts 9 bedrooms, 5 full and 2 half bathrooms as well as 1.5 acres of beachfront. The 13,500-square-foot Gatsby era property has been on the market on and off since 2008 and was originally listed for $30 million! The son of Turkish immigrants, Oz is best known as a talk show host who dispenses non-scientific medical advice. He has taken some serious flack from real scientists for supporting Reiki, psychic communication with the dead and green coffee extract as a “miracle” and “magic” diet pill. Something is telling us Oz will fit nicely on that stretch of the beach: His neighbor to the north is Russian oligarch fertilizer king Dmitry Rybolovlev, who paid Donald Trump $100 million for that property. Oz is the second TV personality who buys an area property over the past two months.

  • Dr. Health Dr. Inventor
    February 2018/March 2018 Bi-monthly Newsletter for Muslim Youth Volume 2 Issue 1 g Dr. Health He performs operations only on Thursdays. He’s on TV every week. Over a million people tune in to watch his shows. He’s Dr. Oz, the talk show host doctor who teaches people how to live healthier lives. Dr. Oz was born in Cleveland, Ohio, but his parents are from Turkey. He and his family are Muslims. Dr. Oz was named after Sultan Mehmet (Muhammad), the leader of the great Muslim Ottoman Empire, which lasted over six hundred years! Dr. Oz believes you are what you eat. If you put healthful foods into your body, you will generally have a healthy body. If you fill your body with unhealthful food—high fat and sugary foods with few nutrients—your body will be less healthy. “Eat of the good things We have given you Mehmet Oz is changing the way people look at medicine. .” (Quran 18: 20) How about you . would you like to change the way people see the world? What change would you make? Dr. Inventor Did you know doctors use catgut to sew up parts of the body during surgery? If you think catgut is the intestine of a cat, well think again. It is actually dried sheep or horse intestine. Don’t leave me just yet. Have you heard about the new tooth implants, lately? If a person loses a permanent tooth, a dentist can screw a brand new implant tooth into the gum. Wait—don’t run out of the classroom! I doubt if you heard about this, though: A Muslim named al-Zahrawi invented the use of catgut for surgery.
