When reading all of Dr. Mercola's postings and everyone else's comments, it reminds me of a book I read called "Watership Down" by Richard Adams. It is about a group of rabbits who wizened up and took their lives into their own paws rather than going with the flow and accepting what life brought to them. There is a lot of symbolism in this book and is worth the read. I didn't quite get it when they required us to read it in high school, but after reading it again as an adult, I understood the "story behind the story" better.

WHAT A HOOT! This ad is hilarious! I don't know if I agree that "60% of drs use vitamins", though. I work in ER, thus see a LOT of dr's, and they all seem to eat cafeteria junk. So IF they take vitamins, perhaps it's because deep down they know they're not eating healthy. And again, it's the concept of a "fixit pill" instaed of eating right.

I truly am scared to eat the cafeteria stuff so I bring my own from home and eat it with a LOT of butter. My coworkers see this, and they know I am healthier than most of them, but can't seem to connect the dots...

I have been doing much research on water fluoridation recently, since Qld, Aust is a test case for statewide (4.2 million people) mandatory fluoridation by government dictatorship. They get their advice from AMA and ADA 'experts' .

In the brew they use, Sodium fluoride is the active ingredient at 23 ppm, plus a varying concoction of chlorides, amines, diesel fuel, kerosene, reagents, metals (including 4 ppm arsenic, lead, 80 ppm aluminum, uranium-238 and its decay rate products, etc.), phosphorus and other toxic reactants.

Other chemicals are added such as oil based de¬foamers (possibly containing dioxins), poly¬mers, petroleum products, naphthalene, chlorides, sulfides, Synspar and various re¬agents. Not to mention the metal from the actual manufacturing containers which have to be replaced every 2-3 years because they 'disappear'.

Does anyone see any health issues that might arise from this 'brew'? Not the dentists, or the politicians, or the doctors apparently, since they have been given this information over and over since the 1940s and still rabbit on about children's dental decay!

I know so many people who are drinking this stuff who believe that the doctors would say so if it was unsafe. They are the same sheep who suffer all the health issues and swallow all the pills and they tell me I am a fanatic!

I have been told by 'experts' that everything on the internet is 'lies' And that the only reason anyone posts anything is because they have something they want to sell. Yet they believe everything they see on television!!!!

'tis a frustrating world!

Cell phones and their towers are definately another one the doctors are promoting.

Cell towers on roofs of hospitals and now cell phones allowed inside UK hospitals!!

No warnings at all from official medical bodies.

They are a disgrace.

We have to get our advice from rappers instead! see

I believe that this TV commercial should show that as we look around us and see just how others (mainly the media) can have an influience on our lives if we are not looking into what they say is really true. Study what is said by someone and see if it lines up with the truth. It seems that truth is always pushed aside for ones own agenda, and that is ususally self gradification or that almighty dollar. Yes tabacco is a natural plant, but that does not mean that we are to smoke it, no more than poison ivy is to be used as a skin conditioner because it is oily. I believe natural cures are all around us, especially in the rain forest and look how fast we are destroying them, and once they are gone, so are the cures. Sadly the world wants to just do what someone else says is best for us and now look at what kind of mess we are in, not just the USA but the world. As for myself, I use the computer as an information highway to the truth and I thank God for people like Dr. M, for saying things that may ruffle some peoples feathers, but hey,, if your feathers are dirty then you need to be ruffled so you can clean up your act, along with your body. Thanks Dr. M, for helping people to see that the healthy way is to listen to the ones who have the interest of all in mind and not just those who wish to line their pockets and billfolds.

WIth the all the epidemic presidence before the human race, with alzhiemers, diabetis type two, and I, the continued drop in fertility, the autism rated having doubled in the last 10 years from 1 per 150 to 1 in 50 from where it was even a century ago, to cell phones, to all the man made economic fallings and changes, I fear distasters of epidemic proportion. I hope that as stewards of all creation humanity awakens quickly or it will be forced to by its lack of poor judgment and propensity of unconcern for all that is not itself, and even with that few are they who take care of themselves. How short sided is this race of man. But alas' we have been renewed, as was needed. I welcome Lent with wide open arms, and ask for a blessing for all of you, and all others, the like!! Amen!

Did anyone notice that the "Doctor" did not inhale? The girl looked as though she were spitting out the smoke. Both didn't look like seasoned smokers. It seems so obvious that it looks as though someone were trying to sabotage the ad. Don't know. Just seems strange by today's standards.

We have lost a number of family members due to smoking. It is distressing to see the ones we have surviving still smoking, and they won't listen to good sense for quitting them.

I wish people that smoked would wake up and see what they are doing not only to their own bodies, but to their families. My mom died unexpectedly at the age of 58 six years ago and it devestated our entire extended family with so much pain. Then two years later we lost my father-in-law which was extremely hard on my husband's mother. They both died because of smoking.

anyone ever realise that tobacco is the only product i know of for "internal use" that has NO requirement to list ingredients????

and

notice how they are cracking down on tobacco

but

the pharmas are allowed to advertise THEIR FORM of it, under the guise of quit aids..hmm?

a safer, cheaper? form called Snus, (weird name) but apparently its less harmful than smoke or chewing tobacco

is NOT allowed in Aus to give anyone the option though??

don't know about usa etc.

Today, the cigarette commercials have all been replaced with prescription drug ads. It's the latest way to destroy one's health, plus it's a better profit for Big Pharma and the doctors that participate in prescribing them.

This advertisement should be required viewing for when you doctor tells you:

'You really don't need vitamins!'

"It's important that we do the surgery, radiation and chemotherapy as soon as possible and put you on a diet of white bread and Jello to keep your strength up, but stay away from high dosage vitamins. They might interfere with your healing"

"Take this Statin prescription for the rest of your life, but be careful about fad diets like going plant based. After all, the JAMA and New England Journal of Medicine never publish anything about nutrition so it must be useless"

Personally, I believe that MD's should be required to disclaim to patients just how many people they kill and how little education they have about nutrition. Most get out of Med school now nothing more than well educated pharmacists. But that's just my opinion ;-)

I know several women who say they have noticed a significant lessening of their PMS symptoms since they quit smoking.

All the more reason not to totally rely on the advice and opinions of others, even doctors. In other words "take control of your health", eh Dr. M?
