Dr. Mercola Review

What You Should Know

Dr. Mercola is the author of the controversial book The No Grain Diet and is known to practice some rather extreme forms of alternative medicine when it comes to health and dieting. He is a vocal opponent of many vaccinations and also of the Food and Drug Administration. In their turn, the FDA have issued warnings for violations regarding marketing practices when it comes to nutritional products, many of which Dr. Mercola sells on his website.

Dr. Mercola does encourage improved health (though there is some disagreement over whether or not his diet is actually safe) through diet, and he recommends very specific foods and combinations of food in order to achieve the result of a healthier lifestyle. While he criticizes many drugs that are put out by popular drug manufacturers he is also quick to promote certain dietary supplements. Among those supplements are Vitamins D and K, probiotics, krill oil, fish oil, and anti-oxidant supplements.

List of Ingredients

This is a diet plan that encourages the use of many supplements. Specifically, unprocessed, unrefined or non-homogonized foods that are believed to be beneficial to overall health, exercise, Omega-3 fats, fish oils. Dr. Mercola also recomends drinking filtered water in addition to mental health and emotional release exercises.

Product Features

Dr. Mercola is an enthusiastic supporter of alternative medicine and treatment options. Some of the techniques he embraces include acupressure, naturapathy, metabolic typing, and Traditional Chinese medicine. He maintains that the medical industry is flawed and has strayed from its intended path as a result of “contamination by the pharmaceutical industry.” Mercola’s fans claimt hat he has a good deal of support in these claims. It’s worth pointing out that you do not have to subscribe to the entire package in order to derive benefits from some of what Dr. Mercola has to offer.

Advantages

  • Encourages personal responsibility.
  • Promotes healthy living, physical activity, mental and spiritual well-being.
  • Provides a complete weight loss solution rather than only addressing one issue.

Disadvantages

  • Encourages the elimination of all grains and in some people this could be nutritionally harmful.
  • Dr. Mercola has been warned about advertising practices by the FDA.
  • A highly controversial approach to medicine and health.
  • Dr. Mercola has been dismissive of many traditional health concerns that may lead to serious consequences.
  • This diet could be difficult for some users to follow, since it involves cutting out staple foods.
  • Generally, this is more of a holistic health regimen than a diet specifically devised for weight loss.

Conclusion

Dr. Mercola is viewed by many as a paragon of virtue and by others as a textbook snake oil salesman. You will need to decide for yourself if his off-the-wall approach to health and diet is something you want to consider when your life and health are on the line. He offers some advice that is quite sound and seems very scientifically reasoned, and other advice and guidance that may seem to come from pretty far in left field.

You do not have to take an ‘all or nothing’ approach to the diet plan that Dr. Mercola presents. This means that you can introduce the positive aspects of his plan: exercise, sleep, emotional release, and even some of his dietary suggestions without giving up all grains and accepting the potential health risks that may result from this sacrifice, or turning your back completely on modern medicine. If you decide to see how Dr. Mercola can assist you in your dietary needs we recommend that you proceed with caution.

**Our Top Weight Loss Choice**

Top Choice for 2009: Avesil

Avesil is clearly the most promising weight control formula we know of on the market. After looking at hundreds of different purported weight loss supplements, Avesil was the most rigorously researched one that we could find. The foundation behind the Avesil formula was an original scientific research study that incorporated an incredible 284 previously published peer-reviewed clinical studies, many conducted in university research labs. All of the product claims made about Avesil are substantiated by this large volume of research.

Unlike many fad weight loss ingredients (hoodia, acai berry, etc.) which are at best supported by folklore and at worst by pop culture, Avesil is totally rooted in disciplined scientific study. In fact, two research trials conducted on human subjects, later published in highly respected scientific journals, concluded that the primary ingredients in Avesil resulted in an average weight loss of more than 3 times that of a healthy diet and exercise alone.

Customers will notice that the claims made about Avesil are quite reasonable and not the least far-fetched. Simply put, Avesil is a safe, healthy way to promote a significant increase in weight loss when taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise. In today's market there is a shamefully high number of consumers who have been deceived by outrageous "no work" promises, manufactured customer testimonials and bogus before/after pictures used by so many marketers of weight loss supplements. Avesil promises to deliver healthy, reasonable, and significant weight loss benefits - all offered through the process of a risk-free trial, leaving customers with very little to lose (other than weight).
