I have exciting news for you! You may recall that on September 23, 2022, the Mercola website suffered a cyber attack and was taken offline. As a result of that attack, we switched to a process whereby our newsletter content is only viewable on the site for 48 hours. It was then migrated to our review repository on Substack, most of which is kept behind a paywall. But guess what? Change is here!
Today, I’m excited to announce that our content will no longer be time-limited or exclusive to paying subscribers. Yes, you read that right! All of our insightful articles and resources will once again be available for free on Mercola.com.
Leading the technology-driven health transformation
My journey has always been driven by a passion for the convergence of technology and health. While many of my peers were focused solely on curing disease, my vision was different—my goal was to empower people to prioritize health. I’m a weirdo, I want to keep people healthy, not just manage disease.
More than a quarter of a century ago, I realized the transformative power of the Internet. It became clear to me that by leveraging this incredible tool, I could reach millions of people around the world and have a meaningful impact on their lives—something that I could do by treating patients face-to-face. The goals achieved are far from the same.
Fast forward to today and our website is one of the most visited natural health websites in the world and has been for over a quarter of a century. However, with great influence comes resistance.
The existing world order accurately viewed me as a threat to its hegemony and began actively censoring me more than a decade ago and then removed me from search engines more than seven years ago. To date, I have cost these industries nearly $100 billion by educating people about health truths.
Revolutionize health
My purpose is to provide the world with insider information on how the medical system works so you can avoid unnecessary pain and suffering. I was never trained to be a journalist, but I grew up as one, and in the process I learned that most of the information that helps improve health and treat disease is driven by what many call “Rockefeller medicine.” suppress.
This “allopathic” approach to health began in 1910, when Rockefeller facilitated the writing of the Flexner Report. The report resulted in the elimination of nearly all natural methods of treating the causes of disease and their replacement with pharmaceutical and surgical approaches that failed to address the cause of disease, while increasing corporate profits and human suffering.
This approach gradually became more rigorous, with the medical establishment resorting to increasingly sophisticated propaganda techniques to convince people that there was a miracle cure for every disease.
Medical schools then became institutions of indoctrination, training physicians to recognize that each set of symptoms had a name and the appropriate medications to relieve them. There is virtually never any effort to address the underlying causes of these symptoms. Tragic but true.
Inspire change and reveal the truth
My journey has allowed me to discover great insights into health and wellness. I identified simple yet effective strategies that address the root causes of illness. However, it is worth noting that even if most people gain knowledge about how to optimize their health, they will not implement it. They refuse to make the changes needed to achieve health.
I eventually realized that knowledge alone was not enough. Over the past year or so, there has been a deeper understanding—a realization that true empowerment comes from connecting with spirit. Once a person’s connection to the spirit is compromised, or even severed entirely, the ability to carry out health information is severely compromised.
I have come to realize that most people simply cannot apply this knowledge themselves due to circumstances beyond their control. That’s why, from now on, our focus will shift to delivering content that empowers you to make informed decisions that not only promote health, but also increase the joy of life.
Embracing happiness and taking control of your health
I deeply realize that happiness and health are deeply and complexly connected. With this understanding, I turn my attention to the vulnerability in this relationship, which is joy, or more accurately, the lack of joy that most people experience.
I want to help you trust your own insights and not rely solely on outside authorities, including myself. My goal is to help you become independent from all the so-called experts and institutions that try to cut you off from your own wisdom.
My goal is to guide you toward a state of self-reliance, free from the general influence of those who espouse the slogan “Trust the Science.” These voices are often driven by profit motives and/or personal agendas and can derail you, cloud your judgment, and divert you from your innate wisdom.
By cultivating trust in your intuition, inner compass, and authentic self, you can embark on a journey of self-discovery and alignment with your true truth. This inner journey is not only the path to physical health; It represents a profound step toward unlocking the vast reservoir of knowledge and insight within you, waiting to be rekindled into the essence of your true self.
Redefining health and happiness
My goal is to build a supportive community where you can explore and master these principles with confidence, empowering you not only to take charge of your health, but also to take charge of your life decisions and understand the context in which they are made. This empowerment is available to everyone, no matter what your existing beliefs are.
This perspective will help you become less dependent on government agencies, especially public health authorities and so-called “expert” doctors or scientists, as well as the pharmaceutical and food industries, who seek to disconnect you from your own power. The belief systems in which these entities operate are almost always inconsistent with your personal empowerment.
I have come to understand that happiness is a guiding metric in decision-making and can enhance and enrich our lives. Although joy and happiness seem to be synonymous, their essences are quite different. Happiness often appears as a passive state, fleeting and dependent on external circumstances.
Joy, on the other hand, comes from within and goes beyond sensory gratification. Unlike happiness that is short-lived and related to immediate sensory stimulation, happiness represents a deeper and lasting sense of satisfaction – the ultimate pursuit and realization of life goals. Joy gives you the confidence to know that everything is okay, even when life may be falling apart around you.
Spreading Happiness: Unleashing Life’s Potential with Free Access to Empowering Wisdom
So, my new goal is to increase the joy in the world. Happiness is a universal desire with no boundaries – it belongs to everyone. While I have played a key role in inspiring millions of people to learn the truth about health, my newfound purpose goes far beyond that.
My goal now is to guide you into a transformative approach focused on increasing your happiness. Yes, this process definitely includes optimizing your biology and health.
I am writing 12 books, the first of which, The Power of Choice, is almost finished. I hope to publish it sometime this spring, a time synonymous with renewal and new beginnings.
At the same time, in order to support everyone as much as possible, we have decided to make our newsletter content free for everyone. So, while we will continue to publish on Substack, all articles since we started publishing on Substack will now be available for free on Mercola.com. Older articles will be gradually migrated over the coming weeks.
Anyone wishing to request a refund for their Substack subscription should contact customerservice@mercola.com and provide them with your subscription start date.
