Mercola is no longer an honorary WAPF member due to his bashing of cod liver

oil.

there's anything to learn from him it's how to promote yourself and become

read there's very important concepts to the fundamentals of meditation he does

not talk about. Maybe that's why I never hear any of his followers that I know

with abundant high quality information tend to burn themselves out. I'm happy, I

get to reap from his hard work. He gives a lot of himself. He made it sound way

too complicated on how somehow should use whole foods and supplements. I do like

the what he said. Eat a balanced diet, supplement with what you can't get in

your diet, supplement to aid in ailments with what you can't get from whole

foods. Of all the beneficial information he could have offered he brought up one

of the supplements of his I absolutely don't like: krill oil. He looked bad when

he admitted his supplement causes burps, just not as many. He would have done

great to promote his whole foods he sells, or supplements wise to promote his

probiotic supplement.

Dr. Mercola about flaxseeds being better than krill oil was great. She said

saturated fat is bad for you, which Mercola didn't debate one bit. Another

that to his advantage. Promote the fermented codliver oil man!

do. Pasteurized yogurt instead of raw milk, jello instead of bone broth. He

codliver oil and high vitamin butter oil/raw milk. I didn't like that he

recommends fat free milk, but no one, including Mercola himself, tried

correcting him. Dr. Oz brought up that pasteurized milk causes mucus for

some people when they are sick but didn't explain why. I was hoping Mercola

would represent WAPF, but what he said was very limited. He didn't get much

airtime. Dr. Oz said he went out of his way to call the guy on the show. It

sounds like Mercola was over burdened with his business so it was a big effort

that he went on to the show. Mercola's website gets 12,000,000 visits a month.

He's an honorary WAPF member.

About a month or two ago he had good things to say about fermented cod liver

oil which had gone on to his top 3 list of vit D sources. In that article he

regarded fclo as beneficial a fish oil as his krill oil too. In that same

article he said he was an honorary WAPF member. Why have things changed now?

It's somewhere in here:

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePaIncVpPrE & feature=related

 

This 7 part series is dated December. I couldn't find it here but I skimmed

through it. He may have made the comments in January though. It's difficult

browsing through his youtube uploads because he's got so many articles. I'd have

a much easier time if they were seperated into dates. He's constantly changing

his info on D intake so I keep coming across conflicting vit D articles.

 

He did say in one article you want to load up on 30,000IU of vit D twice a week.

Although this may only be with the tanning bed and fclo, because the oral vit D

he sells may not have the same level absorption. It lacks the natural co-factors

sunlight and fclo contain.

 

On the video I read dated somewhere around December of 2009, or January of

2010, he recommended the top three vit D choices to be 1. sunlight, 2. vit D

light booth, and 3. fclo. He also said he felt fclo and krill oil offered the

same omega 3 benefits, but krill oil has extra antioxidants he likes. He took

back what he said about fclo being harmful after consulting with his peers, and

that he was an honorary WAPF board member. I think he also said he didn't

recommend fclo because he had overdosed with it before. Not sure if he could

specify the correct amount to take in from that form.

 

Otherwise it might be hidden somewhere in these archives:
