The Insane World of Mercola



If you write about healthcare, human or canine, you will eventually stumble into Mercola, and its creator and financier, Joe Mercola.

What you need to know is that the man is insane, and the entire site a dangerous scam and a grift intent on selling unproven dietary supplements and medical devices.  

Mercola and colleagues push bunk and woo, including homeopathy, and they oppose vaccination.

It’s not ALL bullshit. There’s enough boring, proven, and common sense stuff tossed in there to get you wondering, and it’s all nicely mixed in with a combination of fear-mongering, double-speak, and slick promotional packaging to make you think *maybe* the source and web site is legitimate.  

But it’s not.

Here’s a question for you:  If I gave you a bowl of icecream with just one teaspoon or dog shit mixed in, would you eat it? How about if it was in a *really* pretty bowl?  What if I told you the server had a degree from the Culinary Institute of America?  What if I told you it was Medical-Grade Dog Shit ™?

No?

How about if I told you the dog shit and icecream server had made over $300 million selling dog shit and icecream?

You’re *thinking* about it now, aren’t you?  I mean… how bad could this dog shit and icecream be if it sold that much? 🤔

Plus, it’s Medical-Grade Dog Shit ™ so maybe that’s OK? 🤷‍♂️  I mean, if it’s a scam, surely the FDA or someone would have shut it down, right? 🤔

Right.  What’s next?  You’re going to tell me Jeffrey Epstein killed himself, trickle-down economics works, and the key to financial succes is day-trading and Crypto, aren’t you?

Look, see for yourself. This rather long, but disturbing video was produced by Jonathan Jarry at the McGill University Office for Science and Society.  

If, after watching this, you still think Mercola’s supplements and vaccine advice makes sense, go right ahead. Darwin laces up his boots every morning, and I’ve never been one to try to catch the jumpers.
