Web Savvy -- Mercola.com

A picture of Dr. Mercola

Mercola.com at http://www.mercola.com is a page by a physician who believes in natural therapy to prevent illness and who sells nostrums, books, and consultation on most of his web site.

Note: Natural and alternative medicine offer many interesting topics for research, but please choose sites that are both credible and/or noncommercial, such as Homeopathy Home, or try searching for these subjects at Dmoz, which screens pages for quality.

Advertisements such as those below, take up more than half the space on the site's first page. Often the links to products for sale are disguised to look just like information links.
