Dr.Mercola Dr.Mercola

Dr. Mercola is an osteopathic physician, also known as a DO. DOs are licensed physicians who, similar to MDs, can prescribe medication and perform surgery in all 50 states. DOs and MDs have similar training, requiring four years of study in the basic clinical sciences and the successful completion of licensing exams. However, DOs bring something extra to the practice of medicine. Osteopathic physicians practice a "whole person" approach, treating the entire person rather than just symptoms. They help patients develop attitudes and lifestyles that don't just fight illness but help prevent it, too.

Also board-certified in family medicine, Dr. Mercola served as the chairman of the family medicine department at St. Alexius Medical Center for five years. He is trained in both traditional and natural medicine.

Credentials

He also has written over 30 scientific studies and reports published in medical journals and publications, with topics ranging from the dangers of aspartame to mercury toxicity. He was granted fellowship status by the American College of Nutrition in October 2012, which requires a minimum of four requirements:

  1. Co-write five or more publications relevant to nutrition in referred medical or scientific journals
  2. Demonstrate significant experience in patient care
  3. Hold a doctoral degree from an institution that is accredited by the Regional Accrediting Organizations
  4. Maintain status with the ACN

AHEAD OF THE CURVE

Dr. Mercola has paved the way for revolutionary changes in the field of natural health. He is always ahead of the curve when it comes to innovative health information, breaking beyond the confines of conventional medicine to bring trustworthy health advice to his audiences. Listed below are some examples of Dr. Mercola being ahead of the curve.

  • 1999 Reported about the dangers of the NSAID Vioxx. In 2004, the drug was withdrawn by Merck from the market due to its potential to cause adverse cardiovascular effects.
  • 2000 Advised against the cultivation and consumption of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). In 2015, the National Geographic published an article calling GMOs "the biggest fraud in the history of science."
  • 2000 Promoted lack of vitamin D as "far more important to health" than concerns over calcium. In 2015, Science Daily promoted sunlight and vitamin D to be necessary for public health.
  • 2001 Warned against the use of mercury in dentistry, which was revealed to have close links to the development of Alzheimer's disease. In 2017, the Minamata Convention on Mercury became effective, banning the manufacture, import and export of products that contain mercury, including dental amalgam.
  • 2002 Advised against water fluoridation, as fluoride is an endocrine disruptor that can do body-wide problems. In 2015, the U.S. lowered its fluoride levels in water, finding that it damages the teeth.
  • 2006 Advised against aspartame due to its connection to leukemia and 90 other different related adverse reactions. In 2015, The Washington Post published an article about on the real dangers of fake sweeteners.
  • 2012 Supported the California Ballot Proposition 37 (Yes on 37) which would require GMO foods to be labeled. Prop. 37 paved the way for other state initiatives, such as in Oregon, where a bill was passed in 2014 officially banning genetically engineered crops from being grown in Jackson County.
  • 2014 Supported the regenerative agriculture movement, which aims to promote biodynamic farming to rebuild topsoil, protect biodiversity and prevent global disaster.
  • 2014 Visited Mexico and partnered with Caminos de Agua (formerly CATIS-Mexico) to support rural communities by helping develop low-tech fluoride removal and rain water catchment mechanism for non-contaminated water.

a PIONEER IN NATURAL HEALTH

Dr. Mercola's Early Days

Dr. Mercola

Dr. Mercola was born and raised in the inner city of Chicago and was a very active child. He was always fascinated by health, wellness and technology, and these inherent interests led him to medical school. He attributes Midwestern University, where he studied osteopathic medicine, as the place where he learned how to truly learn and never stopped since.

With a drive to gain further knowledge and experience, Dr. Mercola worked as a pharmacy technician at a physician's office and later at the Illinois Eye Bank, harvesting donated eyes for cornea transplants. He later went on to work at the Kidney Bank after he was inspired by the mission to improve the health and well-being of people at risk for, or affected by, kidney disease, through preventative methods.

His active lifestyle continued into adulthood, when he competed in the Chicago Marathon, finishing in just over three hours. He could clearly see the positive impacts taking care of his body had on his overall health.

In 1985, he began seeing patients as the sole practitioner at a private wellness clinic in Schaumburg, Illinois. His days were filled with routine checkups, school physical exams and seeing chronically ill patients.

"I was prescribing medications but realized that they were not working in many cases."

– Dr. Mercola

Determined to find better answers, he began exploring the world of natural medicine in the early 1990s, and slowly started to integrate healthy diet and exercise into his patients' lives. After observing that these methods were working, compared to prescribing prescription drugs, he completely switched his focus to preventative care using a holistic approach, and that was the start of it all.

Founding Mercola.com

Dr. Mercola founded Mercola.com in 1997 as a portal for natural health information and resources. It is one of the first health websites established to cater to readers who are interested in holistic medicine. Mercola.com is now routinely among the top 10 natural health websites on the internet, boasting over a million newsletter subscribers, and garnering more than 10 million page views per month.

Mercola.com aims to provide up-to-date natural health information and data that will most benefit its readers and subscribers, helping them achieve peak health and adopt better lifestyles. It also strives to expose corporate, government and mass media hype that diverts people from what is truly best for their health and often toward a path that leads straight into an early grave.

Mercola.com provides a harmonious community for educated and open-minded individuals who are determined to change the modern health paradigm. Subscribers and readers belong to a variety of populations, from homemakers to health care experts, all seeking to improve and maintain their state of health.

Originally based in Hoffman Estates near Chicago, Illinois, Mercola.com now operates out of Cape Coral, Florida, and has a remote office in Manila, Philippines.
