Hello and welcome to my new Media Blitz Interview section. Whether it's in print, video, photos, audio or a combined multi-media blitz - my goal is to provide you with cutting edge, healthy lifestyle information that will improve the quality of your life.

This interview is with Osteopathic Doctor, Joseph Mercola, who I recently met during a health conference in Phoenix. The conference was called, Preventing Killer Diseases, and it was absolutely fascinating! Fortunately, I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Mercola at the conference, and he graciously agreed to a short interview for my site. Unfortunately, there was no time to set up lights or find a quiet studio setting, so I made the best with what was available.

I was curious in learning more about Mercola's experiences of being involved in the conventional medical system and what made him deviate from this path. Most people don't know that when he first graduated from medical school he worked in the pharmaceutical indsustry as rep to sell drugs to physicians. It seemed that he was headed on the perfect path toward a lucrative career in conventional medicine. He knew a great deal about pharmaceutical drugs and was paid to aggressively promote them to other physicians.

So what changed his course? What did he experience that made him deviate from such a promising path? After all, he had earned the keys and he was coasting down the freeway toward what seemed to be an imminent destiny toward "curing" disease ... but on his way he unexpectedly encountered a few road blocks, warning signs, and detours that led him to an alternate route. Please watch as Dr. Mercola explains some of the problems he found in the current medical paradigm:

One of the major problems I have wrestled with on my quest to achieve genuine health was in trying to determine whose "scientific" literature I should trust and believe. Growing up I had always believed in literature that came from the American Medical Association and their esteemed peer reviewed medical journals. However, as I learned more about the human body and it's systems I began to think differently, and started searching for alternative sources of information. After years of sifting through a tsunami of information and mis-information, I have finally found a trustworthy pool of courageous health advocates, nutritionists, M.D's, D.O.'s, and N.D.'s that I can depend on. Dr. Mercola is one of those gifted health professionals that I rely on and trust for honest, helpful information.

I wanted him to explain why he doesn't have much faith in some of the information printed in the esteemed peer reviewed medical journals, and why we should not regard information in these journals as infallible. Please listen as Dr. Mercola shares his experience and knowledge on this subject:

I hope you enjoyed my Media-Blitz Interview with Dr. Mercola. If you have any comments I would love to hear from you ...
