> If you go to the bottom of the link you posted you can see that mercola recomends a whole bunch of things he sells at his site like EFT and fish oils. His site certainly isn't unbiased, most of the articles are designed to generate cash. That isn't to say fish oils and EFT aren't bad and that there aren't dangers to psych drugs, but this guys got an angle.
Hi Conundrum,
While this article is on Mercola's site (I agree with you about him by the way), the article is referring to the book, Anatomy of an Epidemic, written by Robert Whitaker, that came out in April.
For those of you not familiar with, he started out believing in the miracle of psych meds as a journalist but when he started doing research, he felt the statistics didn't back up the story being told.
Obviously, many posters on this site are going to feel differently. But that is what the focus should be on and not on Dr. Mercola in my opinion.
Back to Mercola - When I listened to him interview Whitaker, in a way, it was funny (although not really) as he tried to hawk his stuff. But he just couldn't figure out how to do it and gave up as the interview continued.
He was annoying as heck as I felt he talked too much.
