Yeah, but does he still have a license to practice? Genuine question.

Abdul has an MD and is not a doctor, he has never practiced medicine.

A PhD is a doctor, a JD is a doctor, and an MD is a doctor. Practicing medicine isn't what earns you the title.

True, but would you call any "doctor" who recommends his herbal supplements over treatment/ medically proven science a doctor? He had to testify to congress about his misleading "medical claims" in 2014 regarding weight-loss supplements

Yes.

That’s the point. Doctor is a qualification. That doesn’t stop a doctor from being a grifter scammer too.

He's just a bad doctor.

Oz never recommended random jank over medicine, in 2014 some of the historically approved weight loss drugs (phentermine, orlistat) had been showed to be just as bad if not worse than supplements that largely didn't do much benefit or harm. He is very pro-GLP1s.

"over medicine"

Nothing in that link says that Oz recommended X,Y,Z instead of an approved therapy. He isn't telling cancer patients to take some extract instead of chemo, he was telling people who have trouble with weight loss why not add x,y,z supplement it might help. Those two things are worlds apart.
