Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Website? Didn't you Google him? He has multiple websites. He is all set to make money selling his book and merely awaits its publication. I did not go through his websites. Was there something in particular that interested you? I doubt he is any different from Fumento who made a splash with his Weekly Standard article. Whatever the man has to say, the fact remains that he is someone who is discouraging spending money on public health. The subtext is that he wants the money available so it can be spent elsewhere, probably on the military. I wonder why Bush conservatives bother to call themselves that since it would be more accurate to call them imperialists. The old guard conservatives from before the first and second world wars would not recognize them as conservatives: but those old conservatives would be far more in favor of spending on public health because the Quarantine would not be a distant memory. Antibiotics have lulled us into a false sense of security. > > Hey Lee, > > I was wondering if you got a chance to look at Mercola's site and what you think of his opinion on avian flu.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Have you read Laurie Garrett's article on the coming flu pandemic in Foreign Affairs? It is on Foreign Affairs website and is in our site links. That is the article that Mercola has got to bullseye if he wants to make his case, and I do not think that he can do it.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Can you send me a link. The newsletter I got from him today doesn't have any thyroid info. Steph mercola stephanie...I dont know if you have read mercola's recent article on iodine supplementation for hashimoto's and in general use of iodoral or lugol's...he cites a single source who says that she has used iodine in her practice with hashi's and that it is a disaster for those patients...and if you read the comments below one of them describes a visit with dr. brownstein who prescribed lugols for her daughter then he supposedly said no she should not take it with hashi's...any comments on this comment in particular? and you might want to comment to dr. mercola too!

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Wow! Dr Mercola responded very rudely to a lady named Carold...now her two posts and his rude response are no longer part of the thread. What a drag that they didn't dig deeper for information, I mean, it's not like there isn't a TON of it here and on the linked sites. Plus, the fact that he apparently can't/won't admit he is/was wrong and was flat rude to a poster really has me flummoxed. > Re: mercola > >I caught that one.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Her first post was asking for a little more clarification on why he states you should NOT use Lugols. His reply was something close to " Do you have a problem reading? I clearly stated xxxxxxx " The xxx is where he gave a specific reference that wasn't actually in the article. He may have been referring to a thread in the discussion where he states: " Because iodine from natural sources like seaweed is far superior and there a major difference between iodide and iodine. Katharine Tamaro, of Vitamin K2 Protocol, who I know through autism summits I attend has studied this extensively and has thousands on this protocol and am convinced she is correct.. Do NOT, I repeat Do NOT, use iodine. as in Lugols and Ioderal, if you choose to use iodide from non natural sources like seaweed use potassium iodide like SSKI. The primary reason is that the iodine in Lugol's and Iodoeral will actually make your hypothyroidism worse. " Her response was one of shock, that she had been a frequent customer and will never purchase another product from them again. I'm pretty disappointed: 1) in the apparent lack of research in condemning Lugols 2) that he didn't own up to it and just covered it up by pulling the threads. I can understand if someone gets snippy, life happens, but to not take responsibility for it is pretty weak. Now I wonder if my post is still there since I referenced the incident. NOPE, I've been censored as well...in fact, I'm guessing there are a lot of posts that were deleted because each of the pages of the Community Comments have relatively few threads each compared to other topics I've viewed. > Re: mercola > > >What was the gist of Carole's posts and Mercola's responses, and what did you not agree with?

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I have always had Lugols and SSKI used interchangeably ...

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Todays newsletter had an article on vitamin d. There he says supplimenting isn't good, one should instead use a tanning bed, supplied by him of course! quote: "In case you didn't know, the best way to regulate your body's vitamin D levels is NOT to take vitamin supplements."

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 So maybe go to the research literature as well and find out what the best source of Vitamin D is..... It's probably VERY important for the thyroid so it's worth pursuing. I couldn't find studies on humans but in experimaetal lab animals, Vitamin D is important in the rate limiting enzyme precursor to Tyrosine, an important constituent in the conversion of Free t4 to Free t3.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Clinically, we have had great response to liquid Vitamin D-3 supplementation and less so with only sun exposure. However, we test first to make sure there is a deficiency – we don’t just guess. Not everyone seems manufacturers Vitamin D-3 in the amount that is supposed. I do think that the safer tanning beds are good options if one has the time and money. One of the best places for Vitamin D-3 information is http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/ There is research information on the site, too.
