USA - Dr. Bartecchi responds

Dr. Bartecchi responds
I feel obligated to respond to the misinformation provided by the Aug. 8 letter of Alice M. Eichelberger in The Pueblo Chieftain. Her raves against pharmaceutical companies and their influence on physicians most likely comes from the Mercola Web site which she endorses.
Joseph Mercola, referred to as a fraud, a scam artist and a quack (gently defined as a person who pretends to be knowledgeable in the medical field), is much more than that due to his anti-vaccination stand which will result in children and even adults dying from diseases which vaccinations could have prevented. Mercola also opposes fluoridation of water and pasteurization of milk, claims that amalgam fillings are toxic and makes unsubstantiated recommendations for dietary supplements.

Mercola promotes many forms of unproven alternative medicine and believes in unproven therapies such as chelation, acupuncture, auriculotherapy, cranial osteopathy and the ultimate hoax, homeopathy.

More than once, Mercola has run afoul of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for making illegal claims for products sold through his Web site, which appears to be there to sell his books, products and worthless supplements.
Space does not allow criticism of Mercola's incorrect, unproven and often ridiculous comments on cancers and their treatment.
Carl Bartecchi, M.D.
Pueblo

Dr Mercola told us about mercury in fish long before it was in the news. He told us that the sun is good and stops cancer long before it was in the press.
