Good, but often inaccurate information
Dr. Mercola certainly isn't a positive person. Everything is fear based and negative.
Some info is good, but most exaggerated stuff with "The Sky is Falling" mentality.
Not really scientific, pure speculation and hype.
Slow, boring and not like Dr. Mercola's text articles
I can't believe the low quality of these podcasts. The speaking is slow and without much inflection. I recommend that you skip these and read Dr. Mercola's text articles instead.
