DETAIL OF THE AUTHOR

Name : dr. Mercola

qualifications: first and foremost, I am an osteopathic physician, also known as a DO. DOs are licensed physicians who, similar to MDs, can prescribe medication and perform surgery in all 50 states. DOs and MDs have similar training re uiring four years of study in the basic and clinical sciences, and the successful completion of licensing e!ams. "ut DOs bring something e!tra to the practice of medicine. Osteopathic physicians practice a #whole person# approach, treating the entire person rather than $ust symptoms. %ocusing on preventive health care, DOs help patients develop attitudes and lifestyles that don&t $ust fight illness, but help prevent it, too. I am also board'certified in family medicine and served as the chairman of the family medicine department at (t. )le!ius Medical *enter for five years. I am trained in both traditional and natural medicine. In addition, I was granted fellowship status by the )merican *ollege of +utrition ,)*+- in October .0/..

Personal: My passion is to transform the traditional medical paradigm in the 4nited (tates, and that consumes most of my free time. (ince /=?@, though, I have been an active runnerI I completed the *hicago Marathon in $ust over three hours, among other accomplishments. I have also been a computer hobbyist since /=@5, with an interest in the Internet that dates back to the early /==0s. 0he e!isting medical establishment is responsible for killing and permanently in$uring millions of )mericans, but the surging numbers of visitors to Mercola.com since I began the site in /==> ' we are now routinely among the top /0 health sites on the Internet ' convinces me that you, too, are fed up with their deception. ;ou want practical health solutions without the hype, and that&s what I offer.
