Who is Dr. Mercola?

Dr. Joseph Mercola is an osteopathic physician, board certified in family medicine. Dr. Mercola is passionate about empowering people to take control of their health using solely natural means.

The New York Times best-selling author has helped countless people to reach their health and weight loss goals.

Dr. Mercola's natural health website, www.Mercola.com, has been the most visited natural health site on the Internet, with over 12 million page views every month. More than 1 million people subscribe to Dr. Mercola's free e-mail newsletter, which has been in circulation since 1998.

The national media have featured Dr. Mercola's health and nutrition advice including ABC News with Peter Jennings, The Today Show, CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox News.

He is a tireless advocate for consumers in the face of corporate influence in health issues.

Of all the health newsletters I follow, I find the most useful and cutting edge research in Dr. Mercola's. In addition to pharmaceutical news, Dr. Mercola publishes news about health supplements, vitamins, herbs, exercise, and other modalities, like massage, reiki, and meditation. He also cites the sources of his research so you can verify for yourself and do more research.

His insights are invaluable in my life!

What is an Osteopath?

How does one compare to an M.D.?

An Osteopathic Doctor is someone who has graduated from Medical School with the same rigorous 4 year curriculum as any M.D. and also had a 5th year specializing in the treatment and understanding of the bones and the skeletal system. They can prescribe pharmaceutical drugs, just like an M.D. but they are far more likely to propose holistic approaches to treatment, including chiropractic care, supplements such as herbs and vitamins, and other modalities, along with traditional approaches to Western Medicine. Pharmaceutical drugs are seen as a last resort.

They practice in major hospitals and prestigious offices everywhere. Anytime you see "D.O." after a name, it stands for Doctor of Osteopathy.

Here are some recent posts in Dr. Mercola's blog....

One thing I really like about Dr. Mercola is that he is always researching and analyzing the data on research projects to stay up to date on the latest advances in medicine and environmental factors that affect humans.



I subscribe to several other health newsletters and blogs but Dr. Mercola seems to be ahead of the others and also more thorough in his explanations.
