Mercola: Know the Risks

[Frederick Foresight]

Dr. Joe Mercola is practically synonymous with the wellness movement. He sells dietary supplements, opposes vaccines, and claims to want to help you improve your health. But can he be trusted? Jonathan Jarry, science communicator with McGill University’s Office for Science and Society, takes you on a wild ride from Mercola’s daily newsletter, full of cherry-picked half-truths, to answering the question of exactly who writes all of his articles, to the supernatural entity that is now giving him business advice. If you thought Mercola was just a genial, avuncular health influencer, you’re in for a shock.

When my friend first started working at a prestigious West Coast Cancer Center he was surprised how many stopped treatment and left for Mexico to receive treatment by a Nicholas Gonzalez style regiments. Many patients who had manageable disease would return begging for chemo after the cancer overwhelmed their body.





He told me about a famous CEO had the best case of the worst cancers, a good chance of cure or long life but he listened to bad advice headed to a magic clinic. One of the doctors remarked that a highly manageable cancer patient gave themself a death sentence.

It's tragic how many people fall for charlatans and hucksters. The bastards should be held to account for unnecessary deaths that they essentially stewarded.

Mercola developed a thing called EFT (emotional freedom technique) which involves tapping (literally tapping the body) and he says it's a therapy for narcissism. You know the drill with narcissists and how they try to camouflage their own narcissism in plain sight.

Then he should engage in some high-speed and prolonged tapping.
