Re: Mercola... Does this info surprise (is it NEWS to) anyone?
I think the impulse WAS good, in the beginning, and then the greed takes over, and gets its tentacles throughout--and mind gets twisted. So that whatever he discovers/uncovers as being beneficial has to become his exclusive monopoly on same, the best of the best, and something you MUST have.
It's the perpetuation of greed that really disturbs me. The buyer (or reader) is subtly infected with this more is better idea, which in effect, makes the person very small. Which is the same sort of mainstream thinking that pushes medicine and
promotes research institutes that are NOT out to make themselves redundant.
As if anyone were really only a body, a collection of parts to be loaded up with product, and not a mind to be freed from deception and illusion.

But of course, to be fair, for some (millions)people who still want "something to take", he provides an unending supply. :-) Seems to me a master internet marketer, more than anything else.
