I am surprised that some one hasn’t sought out to discredit Dr. Mercola and Natural News long before now regarding the H1N1 Swine Flu. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/08/04/Squalene-The-Swine-Flu-Vaccines-Dirty-Little-Secret-Exposed.aspx
http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/?p=851 claims that Mercola’s recent, “screed foisted upon the public is no such source” of information. “Squalene: The Swine Flu Vaccine’s Dirty Little Secret” reveals his exceptionally poor grasp of the immune system, asserts that influenza is not worth preventing (36,000 deaths, 200,000 hospitalizations) from seasonal flu.
The author, Dr. Joseph Albietz has written a four articles on health issues for Science Based Medicine which can be found at http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/?author=1411. “Dr. Albietz has no conflicts of interest to disclose nor any ties to industry. His writing reflects his opinion alone, is not meant to represent personal medical advice, and does not necessarily represent the position or opinions of his department, university or hospital.” For all his props he totally repudiates Dr. Mercola.
From his website, http://www.mercola.com/ “Dr. Joseph Mercola has made significant milestones in his mission to bring people practical solutions to their health problems. A New York Times Best Selling Author, Dr. Mercola is author of The No-Grain Diet and Take Control of Your Health. He has also been featured in TIME magazine, LA Times, CNN, Fox News, ABC News with Peter Jennings, Today Show and other major media resources.”
Quack, salesman, or blogger, he has served America well exposing readers to an alternate perspective on medicine. My Phd is lacking credits so I can not attest to his statements being factual. What I can attest to; is that when Dr. Mercola writes something, usually I can find numerous and varied sources that support his facts.
The biggest thing about Dr. Mercola’s profession is that he puts YOU in control of your health and he has a new book out to try to educate you on how to do so. http://products.mercola.com/take-control/
That I am in control of my body and not government, any medical group, doctor or insurance company, gives hope that we can live well and prosper without medical intervention and without intrusion from government.
Yes: I broke a leg and got it fixed at the doctors, needed stitches from a bike wipe out, got a sinus infection and needed antibiotics…I got it, I get it, and I got the bills. We need doctors. We also need people like Dr. Mercola to present the another side of medicine and his post “Squalene: The Swine Flu Vaccine’s Dirty Little Secret” that should make every one’s head spin to find the truth. I suppose we need Dr. Joseph Albietz equally to present another side of an interpretation of medicine as well.
In looking for the truth we look at patent applications for drugs to cure disease that have not identified as existing yet.
We ask why drug ingredients contain the spermicide nonoxynol 9?
We question why vaccine ingredients contain squalene and or thimerosal with subjective links to causing autism.
“Thankfully, influenza is not a disease against which we are helpless. We have ways to limit its spread, and medicines with a modest effect in assuaging symptoms and shortening the length of illness. Most importantly, we have vaccines that can safely prevent the disease altogether.” writes Albietz. May I take the liberty to suggest that he read the patient insert;
Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics Limited Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine Patient Insert-http://www.fda.gov/downloads/BiologicsBloodVaccines/Vaccines/ApprovedProducts/UCM182242.pdf
Based on currently available information the vaccination regimen is as follows: Children 4 through 9 years of age: Two 0.5-mL intramucular injections approximately 1 month apart. Children 10-17 and Adults: A singe 0.5 mL injection
1) Prefilled single dose syringe, 0.5-mL. Thimerosal, a mercury derivative used during manufacture, is removed by subsequent purification steps to a trace amount (≤ 1 mcg mercury per 0.5-mL dose).
2) Multidose vial, 5-mL. Contains thimerosal, a mercury derivative, added as a preservative. Each 0.5-mL dose from the multidose vial contains 25 mcg mercury
13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. Neither FLUVIRIN nor the Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine have been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential, or for impairment of fertility.
5.4 Limitations of Vaccine Effectiveness. Vaccination with Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine may not protect all individuals.
The complete list of approved vaccines by the U.S. Government for H1N1 vaccines and vaccine patient inserts can be found here https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2009/09/27/h1n1-swine-flu-vaccine-package-insert-warnings/.
Both physicians seek to keep patients alive. Besides the Hippocratic oath, a dead patient presents no revenue for anyone. Let alone the familial consequence of loosing a loved one, and the mere civility of wanting to live life to the fullest and to do so in good health.
Prevention is better than a cure claims modern medicine.
To my knowledge there is no cure for death, no matter the cause.

Dr. Salzberg, thank you for taking the time to comment.
Having read both your referenced posts(recommended to readers)- again, we are reminded of questionable statements from Mercola and his efforts to sell products.
However, I still question the Vero cell connection and many of the ingredients in vaccines. Perhaps he confused HeLa w Vero? In any case, my little tinfoil hat goes way back to the questionable monkey, polio, AIDS connection.
BTW, to the best of my knowledge an adjuvanted vaccine has yet to be approved in the U.S.,-although they may have been utilized elsewhere for a number of years with little reportable side effects in the short term.
I do find it ironic that the German gov’t chose to issue two h1n1 vaccines- one adjuvanted and one not.
Albietz’s posts are excellent counterweights to Mercola, who is profoundly wrong – and who is little more than a quack, in the classic vein, selling all sorts of ineffective products on his website, claiming that they cure pretty much everything. Albietz doesn’t sell anything on his site, in contast.
Dr. Albietz isn’t the first, or only, science blogger to refute Mercola’s claims. See my post from September and another post in October where I explain why Mercola has his facts completely wrong on the pandemic flu.
-Steven Salzberg, Ph.D.
hi, you got some profoundly pleasant posts here
very worthwhile and helpful facts
