guy's an absolute shill (for ratings).  was at home, sick one day a while back and happened onto the show.  he was discussing the hcg diet (which is universally panned by mainstream medicine). he had an endocrinologist from mayo, a dietician (both very anti) and 2 alternative medicine practitioners (very pro).  no good data to support it (cuz there isn't any)  and he concludes and counsels at the end of the show that he thinks the evidence supports it and recommends trying it to his audience. gotta think he's smarter than that and is just selling out. he deserves all the criticism this article brings.
