Mercola.com Celebrates Its 15th Anniversary, Fights for GMO Labeling and Other Health Liberties

Online, August 2, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Mercola.com, the world's #1 ranked Natural Health site, promotes major health liberty goals - including pushing for a GMO labeling law through the California ballot initiative - as it celebrates its 15th anniversary.

"Because of your loyal support, we've slowly but surely awakened the world to the false promises of the fatally flawed conventional medical view, which claims disease is best treated with drugs, and that the government knows what's best for your health and should be allowed to dictate your health options," says Dr. Joseph Mercola, the Chicago-based and licensed physician and New York Times bestselling author who founded the site.
For seven years now, Mercola.com has been the world's most visited natural heath site. Its daily natural health newsletter is approaching two million subscribers.

Mercola.com is holding a special anniversary sale from August 2 to 8, 2012, giving customers 15% OFF on orders worth $50 and above.

'David and Goliath'
In his 15th Anniversary article on Mercola.com, Dr. Mercola highlights the founding of Healthy Liberty in 2011, and an investment of at least one million dollars toward health liberty goals such as the abolishment of mercury fillings in dentistry, the end of water fluoridation, the right to informed vaccine choices and consent, and GMO labeling.
Foremost of these efforts toward health freedom is the Money Bomb Against Monsanto, which reached the one-million-dollar donation target to support the "Label Genetically Engineered Food Act" through the California ballot initiative and other state GE-labeling campaigns.

Dr. Mercola believes that the California ballot initiative will have the same effect as an FDA regulation when it is passed in November, and will be "the beginning of the end of genetically engineered foods in the US."
He considers it a David-and Goliath battle, where the biotech industry will raise millions of dollars to outspend the pro-labeling movement.

"They did it again in Washington state last month, where campaign contributions to three of the eight politicians on the Senate Agriculture Committee - Democrat Brian Hatfield, and Republicans Jim Honeyford and Mark Schoesler - guaranteed the bill's demise in committee. Right now, the biotech industry is also working to defeat similar GE labeling bills in Vermont, Hawaii, Connecticut, and other states," warns Dr. Mercola.

Milestones
Dr. Mercola says that Mercola.com has "consistently shared the news well before the mainstream" and exposed "the swine flu pandemic for the hoax that it was," the killer effects of Merck drug Vioxx (recalled in the United States market in 2004), the dangers of statin drugs and routine mammograms, the health benefits of vitamin D through sun exposure and astaxanthin.
The natural health site also continues to call for transparency in the actions of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
"Over the years we've... exposed the realities of how many health programs are intricately tied to Big Pharma, and the revolving doors existing between government and big industries and corporations like Monsanto and Merck," adds Dr. Mercola.

Take Control
Through the years, Mercola.com has also offered a roster of natural health products, which have been actively researched and independently tested.

According to Dr. Mercola, profit generated from the sale of its products "goes right back into maintaining and building a better site and providing you with more free tools, videos, special reports, and in-depth articles."
Funded by Dr. Mercola himself, the site is free of advertisers or corporate partners.

The natural health expert calls for Americans to continue to be part of the revolution to take control of their own health.
