I TEND to believe Weil. He's very much into nutrition and supplements, and

works on the basis of taking the best of both traditional medicine and

alternative therapies. He's Harvard educated (both undergrad and m.d.),

clinical professor of internal medicine and head of the program in

integrative medicine (which he initiated there) at U of Arizona in Tucson.

He's regularly on tv and radio, (public as well as broadcast and cable). And

he's not trying to sell anyone's particular product.

Uh, Dr. Weil is very much into selling vitamins. That is what his whole

vitamin advisor is about. I get emails from him everyday. There is a

paragraph on some nutritional subject and a paragraph hawking vitamins.

If u have visited the vitamin advisor site, then u have expressed an interest

in those products, which is why u are being solicited. Are u getting these

emails without having requested the " thought for the day " or whatever the

heck that is? I got a couple of emails after I first filled out the vitamin

adviser questionnaire, but that was all, until I signed up for the free

" tho't a day " info.

Furthermore, I was speaking of his newsletter " Self-Healing " which is where

the elemental calcium article appeared. He does NOT solicit in that

publication for any of his vitamins or other products, altho I do get inserts

along with the newsletter offering books and indexes, etc. On rare occasion,

he will recommend a product in the newsletter, but so far, they have all been

from other companies, not his own.
