this guy isn't a medical doctor, he's an osteopath.

his website sells relaxation tapes and dietary supplements. he's been warned by the FDA. he's against microwave ovens, pasteurized milk, fluoridated water, prescription drugs, and vaccines.

the science here is misleading and wrong. just for one example, the "epidemic of thyroid impairment" he refers to has nothing to do with soy products. with aging, people become more and more likely to have low thyroid function caused by autoimmune ("hashimoto's") thyroiditis. it's not usually a serious condition, and it's easily treated with a thyroid hormone pill (Synthroid, or eltroxin).

the most common form of thyroid disease in young people used to be iodine deficiency, but that's never seen in north america now that salt is iodized. the "goitrogens" he mentions that are found in soy (as well as broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage) interfere with iodine metabolism -- but have no significant effect on thyroid function unless the person is iodine-deficient (which is now unheard of). so you can eat soy without worrying about developing a goitre (enlarged thyroid).

This is classified under 'cute'. Shouldn't it be under 'geek'? (unless you've got a thing for this guy.. hey...)

know a lot of folks with this particular tunnel reality, it serves to keep most healthier, but turn them into preachy, pains in the asses of all who know them...
Problem with the FDA warning anyone to shut up, is that the FDA is an entity hell-bound determined to be the cheerleader for the pharmaceutical industry, and chances are good, that when they get pissed at someone, that someone, is seen a threat not to the well-being of folks, but to the omnibeing of the FDA, and the train of disease that follows the Medical establishment.

Flouride, by-product of aluminum smelting, added to toothpaste to prevent cavaties, is highly toxic. Many countries outlawed its introduction into water supplies, wish the fucking U.S. would, but of course, people are more concerned about wobal glorming, and other such things.....

Mercury-almalgum fillings....toxic, no longer used in modern dentistry
Microwaves are harmful, to food, and to humans....shielded you say?
Learn to boil water I say, you lazy, clueless monkeys.

Prescription drugs kill more people than they help, and are abused by more people than those who use them prescribed...
Vaccinations are toxic coctails that are as nefarious as they are helpful, but that wasn't on this list...

Stop poisoning yer body with food, and the doctor becomes a legendary, mythical creature, whose assistance is appreciated when bones break, or blood flows freely, but whose prescence as a saviour, is seen for the ruse that it is....

"clean the inside of the cup and bowl", was a parable used by Big J, to teach folks about the hypocrites, the Holy men of his time, the Pharasies.....

sorry clkweb, this probly' won't see its way out the queue, but it gets a lone gunman upvote here, for walking up to the monster called the FDA, kicking it in its balls, and standing over the body, hands gripped tightly about the many necks,until dead.

mercola is a crank/nutter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercola

Sorry, I couldn't watch the whole thing. I lost interest after he mentioned nattō as being a healthy form of soy. If you've ever seen (or smelled) nattō, I don't see how anyone ever looked at it and said "hey lets eat this and see what it tasts like." It looks like beans mixed with snot.
