Pill, Powders, & Mercola (Oh My)!

Dr. Joseph Mercola is one controversial man. Personally, I am NOT a fan. I believe that he preys upon the gullible, vulnerable, easily moved by slick marketing conspiracy theorists of the health and nutrition world, building any distrust of medical science into a fertile field for his knight-in-shining-armor all natural solutions to every ill.

Here is Chicago Magazine's feature story on the man: "Dr. Mercola: Visionary or Quack?" My great disappointment is that the word "visionary" is even considered an option in describing the man. However, if "visionary" means...finding a crack in the seams of a vulnerable mind and exploiting it to successfully extract the most cash, then yes, he is a "visionary".

For your enjoyment, please also enjoy Dr. Stephen Barrett's Quackwatch article: "FDA Orders Dr. Joseph Mercola 
to Stop Illegal Claims"


You can decide whether Mercola is a master marketer or a quack (with credentials).
