Would you trust Dr. Ozzy Osbourne or take his medical advise seriously? Of course not! But how serious is Osbourne about his medical "career"?
"It's not a serious thing, I mean, I'm the last person to ask advice about health. It's just, it's not fit to be taken seriously. I mean — and I'm not doing it, I'm not writing the column personally, I've got a guy coming around, the guy who did my book, Chris Ayres, is doing the column. He brings me the column things and I just joke about it, you know. 'Cause if you believe me, you'll end up in the lunatic asylum." - Ozzy Osbourne
"Trust Me, I'm Dr. Ozzy" is Ozzy Osbourne's new book, and it offers the reader Ozzy's comical health stories, and his advice for others to become superhuman just like him. The 'Iron Man' will be releasing "I'm Dr. Ozzy: Advice From Rock's Ultimate Survivor" on October 11th via Grand Central Publishing.
This will be Ozzy's second book, his first book "I Am Ozzy" was a New York Times bestseller, which landed at #2 and #3 on the New York Times and Wall Street Journal non-fiction charts, respectively. Here is the Official book description:
"Wondering if science could explain how he survived his 40-year avalanche of drugs and alcohol, Ozzy Osbourne became one of a handful of people in the world to have his entire DNA mapped in 2010. It was a highly complex, $65,000 process, but the results were conclusive: Ozzy is a genetic anomaly. The 'Full Ozzy Genome' contained variants that scientists had never before encountered and the findings were presented at the prestigious TEDMED conference in San Diego-making headlines around the world. The procedure was in part sponsored by The Sunday Times of London, which had already caused an international fururoe by appointing Ozzy Osbourne its star health advice columnist. The newspaper argued that Ozzy's multiple near-death experiences, 40-year history of drug abuse, and extreme hypochondria qualified him more than any other for the job. The column was an overnight hit, being quickly picked up by Rolling Stone to give it a global audience of millions. In 'Trust Me, I'm Dr. Ozzy', Ozzy answers reader's questions with his outrageous wit and surprising wisdom, digging deep into his past to tell the memoir-style survival stories never published before-and offer guidance that no sane human being should follow. Part humor, part memoir, and part bad advice, 'Trust Me, I'm Dr. Ozzy' will include some of the best material from his published columns, answers to celebrities' medical questions, charts, sidebars, and more."
