My intelligence is insulted on a regular bases by friends and clients reciting some headline by Dr. M. as if he is bona fide (unbiased) authority.

Professor Campbell:
Starting as a 'believer', drinking a gallon of cows' milk daily and diving deeply into his research career intending to focus on ways to save the starving people by increasing their intake of animal protein and ultimately passing beyond 'believer' to 'seer', professor Campbell has certainly 'evolved' and in the process factually supported what many of us have known and intuited for a long time, and done so, masterfully.

Dr. M:
Following Dr. M from the side for many years, we have watched him 'de-volve' as his dietary recommendations of many years ago suggested a much more balanced, sensible and humane approach (can't find those articles anymore). He admittedly comes from a standard (backwards) allopathic medical foundation and has not been [the self-proclaimed] authority on nutrition or preventive medicine for long... He's just getting his feet wet compared to many of us.

As time has ticked, more and more, Dr.M, ignoring obvious physiological and instinctive indicators, pushes Meat-Meat-Meat, Milk-Milk-Milk and Pills-Pills-Pills. Examples include strong suggestions, even employing scare tactics to induce people to consume all manner of cadavers (disease and murder), raw cows' and goats' milk (disease and Infanticide), raw hen eggs (salmonella), Krill oil (murder and ecosystem devastation) and potentially imbalance producing Pills-Pills-Pills, sprays and fluids, D3 (unwise hormone replacement therapy), Etc.

It would be interesting to list all of the super-hyped (must take, don't leave home without, take-or-die,) supplements pushed by Dr.M, though it would be a huge undertaking, and lay out a day's supply, then if anyone would be willing, swallow all that stuff and wash it down with the recommended volume of water. I'm pretty sure there would be no room left for food... And just imagine the weird chemistry experiment that would take place inside... Sane nutrition? I don't think so.

Dr. M has, on several occasions I am aware of, acted rudely towards professor Campbell. Professor Campbell did or said nothing to provoke such inflammatory behavior.

I appreciate that Dr. M comes down hard on GMOs and EMR (electro-magnetic radiation-pollution), but it is inexcusable that he so powerfully poisons the minds of trusting followers on matters of something so fundamental as diet. And it is unconscionable that he so ruthlessly disregards the welfare of all non-human animals and the commons.

I have a theory about the reason(s) for Dr. M's perverted thinking and 'selective' guidance but will keep it to myself, and it is not my place to guess about his character of motivation. Could be, he means well, but that does not help the people harmed by irresponsibly delivered advice or the suffering and death of countless non-human animals which result from the following of such advice.

I had a lot more to say about this sad situation, but that's about all the attention I wish to put on it.

Goodness!

BarbaraL,

Could not have stated it better, I feel likewise. Very well put indeed.

Thank you,

PEACE!

Any casual visitor to Dr. Mercola's website (as I was) will be astounded by the sheer array and amount of merchandise he is selling. How does he even expect anyone to take him seriously as a doctor?

I hope Dr. Campbell knows he has supporters too. He can definitely count me as one of them. Here is a man who is trying to get people to eat their fruits and vegetables and stop eating junk food and crappy processed meat. We should all be grateful that someone even cares. The fact that many of his critics haven't even read his book to find their answers there first before blasting him with criticisms? That is very depressing, unfortunate, and a waste of everyone's time.
