FDA Orders Dr. Joseph Mercola to Stop Illegal Claims
Sorry Karrie I'm not ignoring you. Your article about reverse zoonosis is good too. I've been doing research for the past while and just now checked out your article. Thanks.
I read that too! But I don't know what I think about it. A site called "Quackwatch"??? To me, this is obviously a biased site designed to discredit people who don't comply to todays medical standards. Now I could be mixing things up but, when you look at issues such as Bill C-51, i'm not so hot on the FDA myself. I've read some stuff about them and I'm not impressed by them either.
What I have read is that Dr. Mercola is more into the holistic side of medicine and he himself said that he's not against modern medicine at all. His problem is that modern medicine is at the mercy of Big Pharma and for that he is skeptical. I can relate to that. I prefer to have a balanced view of those kinds of things.
When you look at what is being sold as edible and all the health complications associated to the way we eat today, you can't help but be a bit skeptical. Don't the FDA say the aspartame is okay and that Fluoride is okay? Even if it is in small doses we are told to brush our teeth twice a day. People chew gum and drink pop like crazy! But we know now that it's horrible for us.
I don't know about the FDA. I can't help but wonder when the FDA gets their panties in a knot. I'm not saying that I buy what Dr Mercola is saying hook line and sinker but I am saying that I can relate to where he is coming from.
I agree it's good to be sceptical, which is why I am sceptical of some dood that makes so much money from gabbing about medicine than actually exercising medicine. I am just as sceptical of Pharmacompanies and the gov't, too, though.
I've read some of his other stuff. It seems he's all about maintaining your health through good nutrition, proper rest and exercise and to try not to stress out so much. These are all things that I agree with 100%.
He saying that there is a lack of nutrition because of modern science ie genetic modification, and he advocates the use of vitamins and minerals that are lacking in the food that we eat.
This is were I get the clue that maybe he's being discredited because instead of promoting drugs he promotes proper health practices to prevent illness. This is exactly what doctors should be telling us IMO.
So I don't really understand why he's getting the shaft?

I don't know either. Fortunately, we am in a position where we have our own naturopath in the family, wife's Dad is one helluva herbalist.
You are sooooo lucky!!! How awesome would that be!! Awesome for you! I hope that you and your family are super healthy and remain so and that you're father in law only gets better.
I wonder what he feels about this whole swine flu thing and about our present state of medicine and medical community in general?

Pigs are very like humans when it comes to illnesses like a flu. They can catch the
flu from us, just like we can catch it from them, but pigs are connected a little to
birds too, and can catch and give birds diseases too, where we are not connected
to the birds as they are, that's as far as my knowledge goes, as I heard this
explained a short while ago by a 'doctor' on tv.
The group of pigs in alberta that have come down with the flu, got it from a
farm worker who came home from mexico, but only about 10% of those pigs
contracted the flu from him.
