This has been disproved time and time again.
Wake up. We are smarter than this garbage.
This is a long post, but it lets you know how big a quack Mercola is
Dr. Joseph Mercola Ordered
to Stop Illegal Claims
Joseph Mercola, D.O., who practices in Schaumburg, Illinois, also operates one of the Internet’s largest and most trafficked health information sites. Since 2012, Mercola has stated that his site has over 300,000 pages and is visited by “millions of people each day” and that his electronic newsletter has over one million subscribers [1]. The site vigorously promotes and sells dietary supplements, many of which bear his name.
For many years, Dr. Mercola and other staff members saw patients at his clinic, which was called the Optimal Wellness Center. In 1999, Mercola announced that about one third of his new patients were autistic and that he had treated about 60 such children with secretin, a hormone he said “appeared to be a major breakthrough.” [2] It is now well settled that secretin is ineffective against autism [3], but Mercola’s Web site still says it works if a child complies with his recommended diet strategies [4].
In other words, he scams the parents by claiming his expensive BS diet can cure Autism
Many of Mercola’s articles make unsubstantiated claims and clash with those of leading medical and public health organizations. For example, he opposes immunization [10] fluoridation. [11], mammography [12], and the routine administration of vitamin K shots to the newborn [13,14]; claims that amalgam fillings are toxic [15]; and makes many unsubstantiated recommendations for dietary supplements. Mercola’s reach has been greatly boosted by repeated promotion on the “Dr. Oz Show.”
In 2011, the FDA ordered Mercola to stop making claims for thermography that go beyond what the equipment he uses (Medtherm2000 infrared camera) was cleared for. The warning letter said that statements on Mercola’s site improperly imply that the Meditherm camera can be used alone to diagnose or screen for various diseases or conditions associated with the breast, they also represent that the sensitivity of the Meditherm Med2000 Telethermographic camera is greater than that of machines used in mammography.
FTC Action
In 2016, Mercola, Mercola.com, LLC and Mercola.com Health Resources, settled a Federal Trade Commission complaint by agreeing to stop selling tanning beds and to pay to $5,334,067 to cover the cost of refunds and administration of the refund program. The defendants were charged with falsely claiming that their indoor tanning devices would enable consumers to slash their risk of cancer and improve the clarity, tone and texture of their skin, giving them a more youthful appearance. Commenting on the case, Jessica Rich, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, noted that indoor tanning is not safe because it increases the risk of skin cancer, including melanoma [24].
It is INSANE to put neurotoxins into infant immune systems in this quantity. No vaccines before age 1 will allow your baby to develop an immune system rich with beneficial bacteria. Early vaccines give far more potential harm than good. If you truly understand science and biology you would understand this.
AVOID doctors when your baby is new. They will ONLY push early vaccination like it is their religion. Newborn babies under a year should NOT be in group daycare. If they are home with their parent or nanny, and breastfed, they do not need vaccines while in infancy. Wait 1-2 years, study each vaccine or combo shot, and decide which ones to give. READ ADVERSE REACTIONS both from vaccine injured children’s parents and from the actual vaccine package inserts. Demand to read each insert before allowing a person in a white coat to jab your child.
Understand that neurotoxins in his brain can change your baby’s life from day one after the vaccine, or only years later. Please understand that the illnesses you are vaccinating against are not as permanently disabling, if the child gets enough vitamin D3*, as autism or other neurological conditions. Life is so much harder every minute with such conditions.
*worst case measles, whooping cough, polio, etc are always the less nourished kids, the ones with the vitamin deficiencies (especially D3).
Fake news reported by uneducated ignorant morons who want to be seen as “in the know”, drama queens sounding a false alarm.
Even keeled, back and forth calm conversation SHALL NOT BE TOLERATED in the subject of government mandated vaccines.
We must bend to the will of our masters, without question. For questioning this edict you will be shunned and your children taken from you.
So says half of Free Republic.
Anyone who believes the statement that the U.S. has the highest infant mortality rate has not researched just how those rates are calculated.

Such blatant accepting of manipulated stats in one area makes me suppose that acceptance of such stats in the matter of the autism/vaccination link is a given.
I will never understand why our infant mortality rate is so high
In addition there was scarlett fever, pleurisy, TB, chicken pox, measles, rheumatic fever and so on.
We don't here of these diseases much in the present day.
Why? Probably because of vaccinations.
> The popular holistic doctor, Dr. Joseph Mercola, is asking parents if the benefits of America’s rigorous vaxx schedule balance the risks? <
The good doctor has a noble goal in mind: To sell books and supplements at his website. From Wikipedia:
Mercola has been criticized by business, regulatory, medical, and scientific communities. A 2006 BusinessWeek editorial stated his marketing practices relied on “slick promotion, clever use of information, and scare tactics.”
In 2005, 2006, and 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned Mercola and his company to stop making illegal claims regarding his products’ ability to detect, prevent, and treat disease.
The medical watchdog site Quackwatch has criticized Mercola for making “unsubstantiated claims [that] clash with those of leading medical and public health organizations and many unsubstantiated recommendations for dietary supplements.”
What an irresponsible anti-science screed. Robert Kennedy would be pleased, but Robert Kennedy is an embarrassment!
I am pro vaccine and have been juiced with far more than the average American due to my international travels. However, all vaccines should be voluntary. I was contra indicated for polio vaccine when I was a child.
That being said, why the desire to put so many vaccines in such a short period? Spread out the shots and migrate the protocol to start with smaller doses and work up towards the larger shots. Our bodies are designed to adapt over time.
I’ll handle this.
Vaxxers over here. Now anti-vaxxers over here. Now—Catholic or Protestant?
I don’t know the answer. There are very smart people who can find it. I do know this has to be studied aggressively and a top priority with politics and agendas put aside.
More of this BS?! If there is a time and place for child protective services, this is it.
Where and when did autism begin to appear at such a high rate? Something in the culture/m medicine/environment has changed. I do not remember autistic children when I was a child in the 60s.
Lots of research done on vaccines and autism if anyone is interested.
So when did coach become an idiot hippy tool
Written by someone who never experienced the vaccination process given out during the first days of basic training during the Vietnam war........
When I was a kid, I think we got 4 vaccines.
72 by the age of 18 is nuts.
Autism didn’t just come out of a box of Cracker Jacks as a prize.
It has to have a source somewhere.
Autism and retardation are not the same thing. The babies who are unable to cope with those vaccines are just simply suffering from the death of millions of brain cells which lowers their IQ down to nearly zero. The real autism person may have normal IQ yet has to many nerve cells working and is unable to deal with too much input. But yes...wait a while for a vaccine and then get just one. Wait a while longer and then just get another one. I would think polio would be the 1st to get vaccinated for and then ???who knows?! Black kids in the housing projects are another story. Welfare moms get paid government money to get their sons diagnosed with autism. They get money and prescription drugs for the sons who are supposed to have autism. The other women in the projects will coach the kids on which words to use in order to pass the autism test to get on board the gov. Money autism train.
