Mehmet Oz endorses “energy” as the next frontier in medicine
Quoting from Mehmet Oz, professor of surgery at Columbia University and a health expert for the “The Oprah Winfrey Show” noted on the February 13, 2007 episode of “The Oprah Winfrey Showâ€,
“The reason I’m so excited and passionate about alternative medicine is [because it is] the globalization of medicine,†Alternative medicines, Dr. Oz noted, deal with the body’s energy, something that traditional Western medicine generally does not recognize. “We’re beginning now to understand things that we know in our hearts are true but we could never measure. As we get better at understanding how little we know about the body, we begin to realize that the next big frontier in medicine is energy medicine. It’s not the mechanistic part of the joints moving. It’s not the chemistry of our body. It’s understanding for the first time how energy influences how we feel”.
