Mercola, my health guru

I am ruminating today as I am want to do now and then but Joe Mercola has been on my mind lately and I want to share some thoughts with you the reader.

Several years ago I, quite by accident, came upon Mercola. No one pointed me to this site I was not solicited online but it popped up when I “googled” a health issue I had, namely high cholesterol and a high lipoprotein reading on some blood work I had done. My practitioner was telling me I had to go on statins or die of a heart attack even after I had emphatically told her I was not interested in statin drugs due to their side affects.

I got busy “googling” sites with answers, albeit their answers, but the one site that offered a possible solution and proof to back it up was Mercola.com. I read the research and read and read (because he and his staff of researchers have endless studies for one to look at). I finally tried Mercola’s protocol at that time which involved high doses of Vitamin C, non-flushing Niacinamide and two amino acids. I went back three months later and my readings were within acceptable margins and no talk of heart attacks.

I have tried other recommendations on his site and honestly more often than not he is right on. I say the proof is in the pudding and I have learned countless things from experimenting with his “far out” suggestions and those very ideas are now being proven to be correct by even the mainstream researchers and promoted by our pitiful media. I researched raw milk and found the people who sell it because of Mercola’s site. I have pursued medical professionals who are better than average because of the information on his site. I have pursued alternative practitioners because of evidence on his site. We eat healthier as a result of the plethora of articles dealing with that subject on his site. My family is healthier and wiser, so I guess you could say we are an example of what one can be if you just read all the information that he provides on his site and act on that which makes sense to you.

Now, you might ask why I am going on and on? Many people I talk to are very turned off by his site and I may or may not understand their reasons. One person said he was “schlocky” and that his face represents a disturbed person. Another health care practitioner stated that he had gone overboard on selling products and his message was therefore lost on her. I will admit that I nearly quit reading his online site last year when he went to Hawaii and then told me in every newsletter that I was a fool to stay in the northern climes and risk dying (or something like that). I could hardly stand one more day of seeing him in his Hawaiian print shirts, so I get that he can be annoying BUT…………..

If you want to form your own opinion, if you want to know what is going on with our medical paradigm that is really, really wrong and then find out what you can do about it you really must start reading what he has to offer. It is not untruthful, it is not deceitful, you don’t have to buy anything or read any of his self promoting articles, just read and learn and you will find yourself disgusted and ready to make a change. It won’t be the change that the mainstream media preaches, or that our government promotes but you will have educated yourself and made your own decisions as painful as that may be. Go ahead check out Mercola today and be amazed at the knowledge you glean from reading just one article and then let me know if you think I am right or wrong.
