Most Americans use television as their top source for nutrition information.

Of 700 adult Americans surveyed, close to 75 percent used television first and foremost to get their health information. Nearly 60 percent turned to magazines (up 13 percent from 2000), and 13 percent used the Internet. Not surprisingly, Internet usage to find health information was most popular among those aged 25 to 34 years and increased seven percent from 2000.

Dr. Mercola's Comments:

Knowledge is power, and that is what I have sought to provide you, for over five years, through this no-cost-to-you newsletter. All of my past newsletter articles are also provided to you at no charge on Mercola.com so that we can all begin to seed the soil for a massive health care transformation.

This quotation is from the above article:

"As of this writing Medline contains about 11.7 million citations and is growing at the rate of more than 400,000 new entries per year. A wry observation about this volume is that a conscientious practitioner who reads two articles each evening will, at the end of a year, be approximately 550 years behind in keeping up with the literature."

A more reasonable and disquieting observation is that even if only one percent of the new literature is relevant to health care delivery, that same provider is potentially five years behind the current state of knowledge.

These amazing facts make it crystal clear that it is absolutely impossible for any single human to know all there is to know to address a problem. That is where the absolute beauty and enormous potential power of the Internet and cooperative brainstorming comes to play. The technology is finally here to pull this off.

Very shortly I will be introducing a software program we have been working on for several years that is called Knowledge Filter. The program will allow us to capture the collective wisdom of tens of thousands of some of the brightest minds in natural medicine on the planet and then share that knowledge with you.

Again, this will all be free. You will be empowered with the information you need to avoid resorting to the traditional medical paradigm to solve your health concerns.

If you are unable to implement the knowledge you have found on the new site to solve your problem, the second phase of my mission is to help you identify the absolute best and brightest health care professionals in your own hometown that will help you recapture your health.

This will be one very exciting ride and if you follow the suggestions to recapture your health on this site, most all of you will live long enough to see the traditional paradigm transformed.

We are in for a health revolution, guaranteed.

As an aside, The National Library of Medicine, which runs Medline, is currently the number one, most visited health site in the world. My site is currently number eight. After the software is introduced, we aim to add to the site more articles and traffic than the National Library of Medicine. People from all over the world will be using this tool to answer their health questions and accelerate their own personal and family’s journey away from disease and towards health.
