I ALSO posted numerous comments on Mercola's website over the past week (whippedsilk), as well as my daughter (puremothers) heralding the results of the China Study and a heated discussion ensued with Dr. Mercola's readers. Even Dr. Mercola felt the need to step in and respond personnally. He actually told my daughter that this discussion (China Study) had received the most interest of all his topics! Needless to say, my daughter and I were bombarded with negative "thumbs down" regarding our plant protein diets, as well as many other commentators. But it was a healthy discussion that has been continuing for more than a week! Unfortunately, when I tried to reply to a woman (Mrs.Pennypacker) after she commented about casien results in The China Study, my comment mysteriously disappeared. I simply provided a link to Dr. Campbell's rebuttal to Dr. Mercola to make it fair. Dr. Mercola listed his rebuttals to Dr. Campbell in the discussion, but apparently he didn't want his 'groupies' to read Dr. Campbell's rebuttal. I tried to comment FIVE different times and they all disappeared moments after they were posted. I tried one last time, but now I get a notice that they're updating their database and maintenance is required, so I am unable to log on and read ANY article on his website. I guess I"m banned forever. Sad though. I found valuable information on his website. Although I didn't agree with his recommendation that eating meat and dairy were beneficial, I agree with many other topics. Also, I questioned him regarding his intake of orgarnic, raw sheep's milk. He always promoted drinking organic, raw COW'S milk. Every article he wrote, he showed a picture of a cow, NOT a sheep, so I was very confused. He admitted in this last debate that he indeed drinks sheep's milk because it has no lactase and it tastes better. But that's deceptive if he implied that he always drank cow's milk and not sheep's milk. I tried to get him to clarify this and asked other readers, but Dr. Mercola never responded to me and another reader simply stated he had specified that he drank sheep's milk in one of his posts. I've been a Mercola reader for years and never found anything in his posts, other than promoting raw, organic COW'S milk. A little deceptive there. Anyway, my daughter and I just unsubscribed, or rather, I was booted off. No bother. I know he has an agenda to follow and promote and I have mine. Thank you so much Dr. Campbell for writing The China Study! Not only do I have the best opportunity for good health, I'm alleviating unnecessary animal suffering and exploitation!! I can't wait for another book!!!

Dr. Campbell has a new recruit...former President Clinton! He turned vegan last May after reading The China Study. Wouldn't it be interesting to hear what Dr. Mercola thinks about that? Here's the article:

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.
