Dr. Oz Sued for Being Himself

“Dietl was severely injured, bruised, and wounded, suffered, still suffers and will continue to suffer for some time physical pain and bodily injuries and became sick, sore, lame and disabled and so remained for a considerable length of time.”

Well, in order to treat his chronic insomnia with a “home remedy”, Oz told him (and millions of other viewers) to put some uncooked rice into a pair of socks, heat them in the microwave until they’re warm (“don’t get it too hot”) and:

“…lie for about 20 minutes with those socks on in bed; the heat will divert blood to your feet to your heat.
