Dr. Mercola’s Alternative Health Guide | The Dr. Oz Show

Dr. Mercola’s Alternative Health Guide | The Dr. Oz Show: <- Click here to read the entire article. Dr. Mercola is not very well received throughout the medical community for his candid beliefs.  I looked him up in Wikipedia and here is what I found.  Dr. Mercola is a controversial physician, health activist. He is the author of several books including The No-Grain Diet (with Alison Rose Levy), and The Great Bird Flu Hoax. Mercola is the founder and editor of an alternative medicine website, where he advocates dietary and lifestyle approaches to health and markets a variety of ostensibly health-related products. Mercola criticizes many aspects of standard medical practice, vaccines and the use of prescription drugs and surgery to treat diseases.   Mercola has been the subject of criticism from the business, medical and scientific communities. A 2006 Business Week editorial criticized Mercola's marketing practices as "relying on slick promotion, clever use of information, and scare tactics." The FDA has also come after Dr. Mercola for his viewpoints and information he gives to the public. He goes up against the medical community who has an agenda to make us all hooked on prescription drugs.  I like his stand on alot of issues and I am a big advocate for playing in the sun...we need the sun, it is not evil it is our survival! Dr. Mercola believes the #1 Supplement that we all should be taking is Astaxanthin which some experts believe can slow aging and prevent disease.  There is alot of information out there and just as you should never believe everything you read, you should not believe everything your doctor tells you either.  We should question authority and research information for ourselves that will enable us to make good decisions.
