"The general public is smart enough to figure out real from hype with a little research. And with the internet I think the general public is more eager to search out the facts. It is no longer a task of going to the medical library and wading through a sea of abstracts. Finding and narrowing down the search for valid medical information is readily available at our fingertips. And even though some of this research is conflicting or contradictory, it is still easy to find other research or explanations for the flaws in some research or its interpretation to get a pretty good grasp on the truth. With all this information so readily available but claims still being contradictory what are people seeking the truth going to gravitate to? Yes, towards sites that back their claims with real and solid evidence including research studies. Again this is why Mercola is number one."

Of the people I know, most have no interest in searching the internet to find answers to their health problems. Those who do, don't wade through scientific studies.

Perhaps Curezone's drop in rankings is due to more people seeking help from MD's and hospitals, and fewer people seeking natural methods. It's human nature to seek the easy way. Taking Antibiotics and other drugs and having surgery is what most people do, rather than learn how to fast and self-experiment with herbs and change our eating habits.

I don't see Mercola's site as truly natural healing. He advocates - and sells - numerous artificial supplements that I personally consider toxic.

I place zero faith in scientific studies. I always wonder who funded the research. Was it a pharmaceutical company or a certain food industry, etc.? They're the ones with the money to fund studies. For example, years ago, Harvard University came out with a study saying that Sugar is good for you.

I think what's happening on Curezone is that some people are seeking a scientific route to healing. They believe in scientific studies to the exclusion of everything else and I know many people who have that belief system.

Then there is another school of thought on Curezone that is based not on scientific studies but on the works of various self-taught people who have helped themselves and others overcome disease. They have no studies, for they have no money to fund studies. All they can do is share what they've learned and try to help others.

There is much conflicting information on Curezone, however such is the nature of freedom of speech. I do think that it's wise to be very careful who we take advice from when it comes to our health.

These two schools of thought will always conflict with each other and it is a wonder that they can co-exist on Curezone.

Peace and Blessings,
