Dr. Joseph Mercola is the founder of the #1 natural health website in the world. I have personally been using his products for years with 100% satisfaction. He has over 1 million subscribers and continues to provide us with current, accurate, and truthful health information that we can use in improving our overall health and longevity. On my site you will find multiple banner ads for your easy access to Dr. Mercola’s website and products pages. I’m thankful that after review of my site that Dr. Mercola has granted me the privilege of being an affiliate to Mercola.com. I hope this information will positive impact your life as much as it has mine.
Dr. Mercola has made significant milestones in his mission to bring people practical solutions to their health problems. A New York Times Best Selling Author, Dr. Mercola was also voted the 2009 Ultimate Wellness Game Changer by the Huffington Post, and has been featured in TIME magazine, LATimes, CNN, Fox News, ABC News with Peter Jennings, Today Show, CBS’s Washington Unplugged with Sharyl Attkisson, and other major media resources.
The following information was taken directly from Mercola.com with hopes that you can get to know Dr. Mercola and what he can help you to improve your health, and the health of society in general.
“First and foremost, I (Dr. Mercola) am an osteopathic physician, also known as a DO.
DOs are licensed physicians who, like MDs, can prescribe medication and perform surgery in all 50 states. DOs and MDs have similar training and licensing requirements, beginning with four years of study in the basic and clinical sciences, followed by the successful completion of licensing exams.
But DOs bring something special (and I believe critical) to the practice of medicine.
Osteopathic physicians approach medicine holistically, treating the entire person rather than a collection of symptoms. DOs help patients develop attitudes and lifestyles that don’t just fight illness, but help to prevent it as well.
I am also board-certified in family medicine and served as the chairman of the family medicine department at St. Alexius Medical Center for five years. I am trained in both traditional and natural medicine.
Honored by the Huffington Post in 2009
In November 2009, I was named the by the Huffington Post as the “Ultimate Game Changer in Wellness,” an honor bestowed upon me by her readers themselves.
The Huffington Post defined Ultimate Game Changers as:
“100 innovators, visionaries, and leaders in 10 categories who are harnessing the power of new media to reshape their fields and change the world.”
Of the 100 candidates, a single top Ultimate Game Changer is selected for each of the 10 categories, of which Wellness is one.
I am truly honored to be doing this work on your behalf. I promise to continue helping you separate fact from fiction when it comes to your health, undauntedly bringing you accurate, relevant information through Mercola.com.”
Practice Profile:
I am dedicated to finding long-term solutions for my patients who suffer from chronic illnesses. A number of prescription medications are beneficial tools that can help provide relief from some acute illnesses, and as a fully licensed physician, I occasionally prescribe them for these purposes. However, I believe that most medications provide only temporary relief at best, and as an osteopathic physician, I seek to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms.
Education:
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 1972-1976
Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine 1978-1982
Chicago Osteopathic Hospital 1982-1985 Family Practice Residency. Chief resident 1984- 1985
Board Certified American College Osteopathic General Practitioners July 1985
State of Illinois Licensed Physician and Surgeon
Professional Organizations:
Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (www.aapsonline.org/aaps)
Advisory Board member NOHA (Nutrition for Optimal Health Association) (www.nutrition4health.org)
Advisory Board member Price-Pottinger Nutrition Foundation (www.price-pottenger.org)
Advisory Board member Weston A. Price Foundation (www.westonaprice.org)
Advisory Board member Bio-Solar Proto (www.bio-solar.com)
Finally I have included a video that I think will be helpful in determining if Dr. Mercola is the right person to get your health advice from. I think you will be pleased.
