Below you will find a number of unsolicited e-mail comments that I have received regarding this newsletter.

I hope the newsletter serves you as well as it has these readers.

I just want to thank you for your generousity in sharing so much of health information with people around the globe. I have never come across a medical web site which is 'so personal' and 'real' like you and amazed with your 'zeal' in sharing with ALL you know with other people. Since subscribing to your 'healthy news' I have learned to appreciate the real 'meaning of staying in good health'..thank you and may God continue to bless your beautiful sharing.

have been aware of many alternative medecines as well as many issues with
allopathic medecin, and I love to stay informed, especially about the most
obscure issues, which seem to now have began coming out to the public,
wonderful work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank You so much

Wow! Your response is the best, most thorough Biblical explanation of nutrition I have ever heard or read! Although I'd picked up from your site that you were a Christian, these clear statements of your faith in Jesus Christ were so refreshing and uplifting! Thank you, Doctor -- this made my day. Thank you for all of your wonderful, free information. You have truly ministered to me, and changed my life -- and especially my diet -- and I love it.

Sincerely,

Once again I'm thanking you for this newsletter. I am a Local chapter head of the Weston A. Price Foundation. In doing the Cleveland LIFExpo this weekend, I've come to appreciate your weekly contribution all over again. We're just now starting to attend these health fair events. People know about you from all over; I say "the Mercola Newsletter" and they know what I'm talking about. I had copies of a few articles I wanted to keep as reference, and people lifted them! I believe that's a compliment.

People from all persuasions are desperately looking for a balanced view of health, of life. The body of "common knowledge" out there masquerading as truth is deplorable. I constantly refer them to your material and the "network" around you.

Needless to say, this has been a major eye-opening experience for me. I couldn't have done it without you. (I'm doing it because I saw Weston Price mentioned in your newsletter.)

Realized that easily half of what I know, I learned from you. Thank you for being a source of balanced, practical, readable information. The educational task of the Foundation is made easier because of your efforts. Even "second-hand", you do much great work. I wanted you to know how it's come around full circle.

Best Wishes,

Terry L. Smith, Akron, OH

I heard of your site will listening to the radio. One of the Doctors being
interviewed said this was the greatest website she had found. I about ran
off the road trying to dive and write this down!!!!

Beautiful work on Sucralose. I've never trusted the stuff, but found that
studies to prove it were hard to find.
Keep up the good work, and
Good Health,

In Feb. 1997. I had severe rheumatoid arthritis and was bed ridden. I then
went to wheelchair, then cane, then no aids- then hip surgery and I am now
working 14 hours a week for The Arthritis Society here in Canada.

Thank-you for your free advice via the internet. Words cannot express the
love I feel for you, for helping people like me. I was receiving your
newsletters faithfully for all those years.

Keep up the good work. You are one of the GREAT ANGELS!

I found your newsletter intelligently written and didn't pull any punches
thank goodness. We need more honesty and revelation of conspiracy about our
"health systems" so that people can make an educated choice in their health.

Thank you for having the courage to do this.

I feel you're doing a great service!

Just want to say again... I appreciate all your work in digging through stuff. I knew you had to feel led to do what you do... because it has to have you working like a dog. But I, for one, appreciate what you do. Thanks.

Dear Dr Mercola,
I became a subscriber to your newsletter in July last year and it is probably one of the best decisions I have made!

I find your format very user-friendly. It is concise, informative and best of all, it is beautifully and simply written . One is not bogged down by unpronouncable medical terms and therefore the knowledge is more easily retained in ones memory. I use many medical sites to try and further my understanding of 'hypothyroid ' problems, but have a wide range of other interests as well, and I would just like to let you know that I really enjoy reading your column. I

Thanking you,
Yours most sincerely,

Hello Dr. Mercola:

I've been enjoying your health site very much and sending along a big
thank you. I so appreciate all this detailed, helpful, educational and
supportive information that you are making available to the public.
There is a wearying amount of confusing nutritional information out
there and I feel I am getting the most up-to-date information on your
site that is helping me to clarify different health issues.

Thank you!

I would like to say that I LOVE it and look forward to it every week. Thank
you for this information and your helpful comments. I recommend it to all
my friends

I found your newsletter from copies sent to me by Sally Trautner. She
lives in California and I live in Texas. We met at the Whole life Expo in
LA in November 2000!

Thank you for your wonderful newsletters! You are an angel and God put you
here to help so many people!

Thank you...Thank you....Thank you.....

This is just a short thank you for hosting an extremely informative and engaging site.

As an example of the value of your efforts, I recently read your soy-related articles and have, accordingly, made appropriate changes in my diet.

My husband first discovered this newsletter and has enthusiastically shared
information. We are both health minded and appreciate the timely,
insightful messages. I'm a school nurse, and plan to share this information
with staff, students and families in the community. God bless as you share
such wealth of information. Sincerely, Joy Burger,RN,SNP

Excellent! Easy to read and to the point articles. Great website that is
very well organized so it was simple to research different health issues I
was interested in. Keep up the great work, there are so many people that
need this information. Thanks!

I know you and your staff are incredibly busy, so no reply is necessary. I'm a licensed acupuncturist in Hawaii who is simply writing to thank you for your truly outstanding work in compiling all this information for our use....can't thank you enough! If you or any of your staff are ever on Hawaii Island, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Your advice coincides with all my beliefs and advice I gave to my patients.
But, you have put it down very well and comprehensively. I am going to
refer many of my patients to read your site.

My healthy daughter became autistic after the infant vaccinations. We now
believe mercury toxicity may have caused this and are looking for detox
protocols. Thanks again! What a wonderful source of information you have
given us. God bless you!!!! Michael and Lisa McLaughlin, Colorado Springs

I found your site by searching natural thyroid disorder altenatives on the
About.com network. I read your article, then came to your site. By the way,
as a copywriter, love the style of your site. Whoever is doing your
copywriting, good job!

Hi!
Your articles are frequently posted on the
MCS-CI-exile discussion list
on eGroups, by one of the members.
Every time I read one of them,
I am absolutely amazed that a physician with
all the credentials could be so forthright.
I decided not to wait for the occasional posting
on my list, but to subscribe and get the info
first hand.

Thank you for all the work you do!

Doc,
I just had to tell you that I love your site. I wish I had time to read
all
of the links from your newsletter! With all of the hardcore FACTS your
churning out, I'm suprised you're not also on the FDA's most-wanted list

Thanks!
Matt

Cant express how much I appreciate when I can find a doctor who really
knows what he is talking about. Who will be fair and not prescribe drugs and
will allow us to make intelligent choices based on accurate knowledge.
Thank you. ja41@flash.net

I am a serious natural health researcher living in Australia, and I'd like to write and congratulate you on your fantastic website! I spend many hours at a time combing the Internet for the information I need, and I have to say your site has impressed me more than most! I only wish your were my doctor, as here in Australia I have had no joy finding a doctor in my area with any expertise or undertanding on natural medicine.
Once again, I love your site...the world certainly needs more doctors like you!

Yours faithfully,

Marilyn Timms Australia

I am most impressed with your masterful survey of the diet literature and
the sensible guidance you provide. It is a literature I know well and yet
I
learned much from your article.

Thank you for putting this important information out to the public.
