​Initial report from Robert Skversky is that his appearance on the Dr. Oz show went very well. You will see the show on March 17. I feel relieved. But Robert said something in his analysis that set me thinking. He said, "My only disappointment (there's always something) was Oz's final comment of the show. He stated he thought meds for weight-loss on/off label were not to be used long term suggesting they were a crutch." But I may agree with Dr. Oz on this. Let's see...

​I do not see the moral value of a free press, or maybe I mean I don't see that the press in America is free. The TODAY SHOW yesterday did a scathing report on "combination (diet) pills", prompted by the botched editing of Liz Brody's article in the March issue of MORE magazine. That makes as much sense as opposing all pills that are round or yellow. It's just incoherent. Surely it's a case by case thing; real evidence and experience matter.
