I get his newsletters. I read them. But I always keep in mind that he makes his money selling crap loads of supplements and products. There is always research that can support your beliefs, if you dig hard enough. And many articles take the slant of the writers ideas (not necessarily the facts). So read them, but do plenty of research before deciding if something he says sounds right.

I read that he is against the use of most supplements most of the time. He thinks we should get the vitamins we need from raw food. Many things he has touched on I had already researched and found that he said the same thing. For instance Monsanto and vaccines. However he is human like everyone and we all make mistakes. Is there anything specific that you disagree about according to your research? Just wondering <_< Also has he ever done a study on Celiac?

Over the years, I have come to truly respect Joseph Mercola and what he purports. I've had to struggle somewhat with the obvious fact that he does sell health products on his site, but he does have to make a living, his products are made with his medical beliefs as their basis, and with that I let it go.

I do believe that he really wants to get the big, simple message out: One must take control of their own health and stop being bamboozled by Big Pharma.

EFT is an amazing acupressure technique that I learned through his urging. It is well worth reading about and can be found by googling EFT technique. Incredible things can transpire! :)

Yup, Big Pharma is just out to get our money and make us sick with their chemicals and to brain wash everyone. They are good at fooling many doctors too telling them that drugs heal. Eating right heals. Our bodies don't know what to do with those foreign substances. Docs get paid by them to push those chemicals. Its no wonder we have such a good medical system in our country but people are more sick than ever and with new diseases (prob caused by their new drugs) Ever wonder why free range animals very seldom if ever get sick? Because they eat right.

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works
    • trents
      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thank you this really helped.

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.
