Some of what he preaches is woo, but most of it is backed up. I watch his show occasionally. and I recommend taking him with a grain of salt. That being said, much of what he preaches is just common sense, like diet and exercise to lose weight. And, I, too, like how he brings science into it. I like how he uses cadaver organs to illustrate various diseases, especially the life style-related ones, too. He has encouraged millions of people to take better care of themselves, and I can't fault him for that. He's also a supporter of the Free Clinics, BTW.
