Re: Re: Mercola and alt medicine / was: One World Whey

[Guest guest]

Duncan,

I do agree that this type of ghost writing is unsavory and it does not show Dr.

Mercola in a very good light. I find myself doing quite a bit of discernment

where his site is concerned. I take some and leave the rest. He has been very

vocal about vaccine and fluoride dangers, which are two subjects I'm quite

passionate about, and so I appreciate his wide circulation in that regard. The

whey article was a bit of a disappointment to me, but as a long-time whey

enthusiast, I just kept doing what I've been doing, confident in my own personal

experiences and amazing results I have seen with whey.

Having said that, you did tell Taffy yesterday regarding Dee, " I'm done with

her. " And yet, you couldn't resist dunking her ponytails in the inkwell 3

different times in your post, mocking her and egging her on. I'm sure Dee is not

going to take you up on your invitation to respond, since she certainly must

have also read your post to Taffy yesterday and believed you were sincere. I

think it was a very good decision on your part, and I that it will make it much

more civil on the list. Those types of discussions are far more pleasant.

Thanks,

Actually, I think an affair is going on.

These two fight more than a married couple...

In Vegas, I got into a long argument with the man at the roulette

wheel over what I considered to be an odd number.

Mercola reminds me of the old Enquirer and Globe Magazines... Written to be

sensational and to scare you into buying his products.

Most of these sites tend to go that way sooner or later, money becomes more

important than principles. Such a shame.

So you might check out these sites.

http://www.jonbarron.org/

http://www.naturalnews.com/

The first, as far as writing goes is the better of the two and the articles tend

to be more on deep info and less of selling things, but they both have " stores " .
