Re: How The Bacteria In Your Gut Can Make You Fat - Dr Mercola

[Guest guest]

Please be SUPER careful with this guy's recommendations. I always find

something seriously not right with what he writes. One red flag is

he's always trying to sell supplements and stuff.

The latest? He touts some probiotic that's loaded with Streptococcus

Thermophilus as the best and " high quality " . Well, time and again,

I've read that this is a bacteria that can pose serious health risks,

especially for folks who are already sick to begin with. (See " Patient

Heal Thyself " and other refs.) But " they " want you to believe it's not

harmful.

Is Mr, " Dr " Mercola one of them? Is he on our side? So far as I'm

concerned the jury's still out. I'll let you make up your mind, but a

word of caution: don't take what he says as gospel!

If what he said was gospel that would mean that they gospel changed

with whatever paid the most. He is like an old sofa, he is easily

imprinted by whatever sits on him.

Regardless this article is good and there is alot of research and

support behind the idea that bacteria can make you fat

Dear

I do not take everything Dr. Mercola says as gospel either, but he

does provide a very good service, and overall the information is much

better than most doctors provide on the internet. He's also a very

straight shooter in aiming at the drug industry and the FDA! I say

kudos to Dr. Mercola.

I read a very similar article in Health News that I emailed

Bee. Legitimate research is behind the study/findings. Autrey

the article that I posted is one that basically

echos what we already follow here, and what I have

found for myself.

I find that a good percentage of Mercola's information

is right on. I don't like his sales approach and I

think he's over done it but I still find a lot of

merit in his information.

Apprently Bee does too as if you look at her files and

her website there are many reprints of his articles.

Point well taken chris. I have felt this way about his

thoughts for a while. I am glad someone else brings

these points out.

I know! Sorry Debby. It was nothing against the article you posted!

I just get PO'd when I feel betrayed. That happened with Mercola.

I didn't even read the article, I just saw yet another Mercola bogus

sales pitch and posted my warning.

Sorry! I know he's got good stuff but I emailed him a piece of my mind

nevertheless.

Hugs,

Chris.

hi Debby,

I jut question a Dr who has something to sell to make

his point. A Dr who has something to sell, be it a

book or supplements has something lacking in their own

professional life if they have to rely on selling to

make a living.

What bee does is considerate of others and at no cost.

She could make a buck too if that was her pitch, but

it is not.

That is integrity and that is where she earns respect!

==>Hi Sue. It costs Dr. Mercola a ton of money to run his website,

i.e. over 1 million per year. Please let's stop bashing Dr. Mercola.

He provides a fabulous service, and who cares whether he makes money

selling some good products? I say more power to him.

Luv, Bee

[Guest guest]

bee,

Again, I wasn't bashing his thoughts, i was referring

to my own situation. See my response to debby. Boy i

wonder how this got out of hand, but i am not taking

it personally!

Have a nice day.
