Canada Stats do not like Dr Mercola
Vancouver Sun Recommends Crank Website for Health Info
Trevor Butterworth, February 13, 2007
Wellness doc alarmed over, well – just about everything, including drugs to treat AIDS and the risk of dying young from winning the lottery.
While you are waiting for the arrival of the Avian flu pandemic, the Vancouver Sun believes it’s important that you maintain a constant state of worry, preferably about everything you might come into contact with outside of a hermetically sealed hypo-allergenic bubble.
Thankfully, there are numerous apocalyptic websites out there to provide quick, downloadable content to fill the news hole, which the Sun did in a recent feature titled the “Top 10 most common environmental toxins.”
The content comes from wellness guru Dr. Joseph Mercola, who, the paper fails to note, doesn’t really feel good about mainstream medicine, vaccination, prescription drugs, and, naturally enough, the pharmaceutical industry.
Dr. Mercola is against contraceptive pills – recommending that women should “Avoid birth control pills like the plague” – and, instead, use natural contraceptive methods like withdrawal. He is against the HPV vaccine, and is suspicious of the claim that HIV causes AIDS; he does not appear to believe that either condition should be treated with drugs.
Among the inordinately long list of things Mercola is not exactly keen on, there is pasteurized milk, soy, pretty much every kind of grain, potato chips, bottled water, burning incense, artificial sweeteners, chlorinated swimming pools, fluoride in water, Viagra, microwave ovens, cynicism, and allowing your pet to fight a porcupine.
I do not buy Dr Mercola's products but mnany of the things he says seem sensible.
