Meet Dr. Joseph Mercola. At 54, he is the co-founder of mercola.com. He is a Best Selling Author, osteopathic physician, health activist, and entrepreneur practicing in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. Mercola is best known as founder and editor of the alternative-medicine website Mercola.com, where he advocates a dietary and lifestyle approach to health and markets a variety of health-related products.

Mercola criticizes many of the practices of mainstream medicine and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), particularly vaccination and the use of prescription drugs and surgery to treat diseases. Dr. Mercola has been very public about his comments, and has sometimes received public rebuffs about his “false claims”.

A 2006 BusinessWeek editorial criticized Mercola’s marketing practices as “relying on slick promotion, clever use of information, and scare tactics.”

Given that health is such a huge concern not only in America, but in the world, it is also a huge market. As such, Dr Mercola represents a threat to many of the established money making health institutions.

As a result, Dr.Mercola is not the most popular. Many have criticized his “late night infomercial” style and think he is a threat to the medical and health institutions. Others, on the other hand, simply LOVE Dr. Mercola because they consider him bold enough to denounce some of the “established myths” on health.

Mercola is a grounded and very down to earth guy with a very distinct personality. Many have described him as one you wither LOVE or hate!

Here are a couple of Dr. Mercola’s books:
