I think people constantly misunderstand Joe Mercola. Just my opinion! He actually loves to be corrected . He must have lots of Virgo somewhere in his chart. He's on a never ending quest to to learn and improve. Himself & the world. Lucky for us he puts his money where his mouth is.......like giving a million dollars to the Organic Food Movement when they needed it most, etc. etc. He says things not hurt, to make better. They just come out without a bedside manner. I knew an Emergency Room Dr. that worked 3 days a week at a hospital, then had a private Holistic practice 2 days a week. Did muscle testing, used homeopathy, etc. He had zero bedise manner. Made patients cry a lot. He would do the supplement testing, allergy testing for 2 hours not say but a few words. Compile the results hand them to the patient and tell them to go over it all and implement the changes and be done. Some patients freaked out. They wanted a warm fuzzy guy. He cared, yet all that ER training made him go for results as fast as possible and then move on to the next person, so he could help as many people as possible. People misunderstood his motives.
Personally, I do believe we need to work together and 'team work makes the dream work' yet that doesn't mean I have to slather myself in Kumbaya cologne, shampoo & creme rinse plus bath oil. I still get to be an individual.
Maybe Joe Mercola is a super nice guy, I don't know him personally so it's difficult for me to say.
His two comments on the forum left a bad taste in my mouth since he kept repeating falsehoods about Progest-e containing BPA and phthalates, and when someone called him "Mr" Mercola he had a temper tantrum, demanding the person's comment to be deleted.
"If this were my forum I would delete your comment for showing intentional disrespect by using Mr. instead of Dr. I have not only earned that title through seven years of medical school and residency, but am widely recognized and appreciated as one of the leading natural health teachers in the world. You are using the same tactics the mainstream media uses to discredit me. Very disappointed in your low level of consciousness. Ray would not be pleased with your behavior."
This kind of language doesn't sound like a humble person that loves to be corrected.
However I do appreciate him making a public apology to Katherine (even if it was factually incorrect).
