The truth is apparently subjective when it comes to the acolytes of Mercola:
The articles on mercola.com are extracted from major medical journals. This is not just related to alternative medicine, but rather to learn what information is out there and most importantly to me has been the scientific proof of the importance of proper eating to maintain our health.
There is a reason why doctors are the 3rd leading cause of death, and also why so many people in our society are obese. What we are being told is safe to eat and that drugs are safe to take are causing many illnesses.
I just really think it's important to keep informed so you can make educated choices based on fact from again medical and scientific evidence. Barrett is not a medical doctor as you have read.
Personally, the only way I have been able to deal with a chronic condition I deal with is to avoid doctors as their training for using drugs for everything would have made my condition much worse and caused me additional problems.
It's just sad that the drug industries write the medical textbooks and that so much of medicine is based on drugs being the fix for everything. Luckily this is changing and people are being given the options of safer alternatives.
Many of today's illnesses are due to the foods we eat, my concern is that although much of the food available is not healthy in itself, we need to help protect what food is left that can help to maintain our health.
