The term "doctor" is sometimes misleading. For example the nutritionist [[Gillian McKeith]] calls herself a Doctor on the basis of a mail-order degree<ref>http://www.drgillianmckeith.com/</ref> <ref>http://www.badscience.net/?p=362</ref>; and the [[sex]] therapist Doctor [[Ruth Westheimer]], though she deals with ostensibly medical matters, is in fact a Doctor of Education <ref>http://www.biography.com/search/article.do?id=9542073</ref>. The [[conservative]] talk-show host Dr. [[Laura Schlessinger]], although she deals in matters involving personal advice on her show, holds a doctorate in [[physiology]] from [[Columbia]] and is thus an actual medical doctor.
