I don't believe that any information that Mercola shares is deliberately being skewed. Like any information it needs to be read or listened to with an open mind. I think that goes with any information and any source.
For me it isn't about being well-educated but rather being open minded. I know lots of PHDs and MDs and other highly "educated" people whose ability to intuitively sense and listen to themselves is low. In fact the more "logical" they are, the more they tend to rely on "scientific" explanations and "professional" opinions. That is not to say that there isn't a place for that in decision making, but it is only one of many aspects related to health and healing. So many of the other aspects are "intangible" and often bear more weight in the successful outcome.
Daily we are hearing about these intangibles and many people have difficulty getting a handle on the ramifications. It is always easier to follow a prescriptive path than to forge the one that is best for you at the time. We are all doing the best we can at and give moment and each person has his/her own reasons for deciding on anything. I'm doing my best to stay open to any info and sense what might work for me at this moment.
Life is always in flux and today's decision might be rejected tomorrow if new info comes across the desk and/or an unwanted outcome arises. Decisions are not written in stone and there is never a wrong decision. It is always the one you thought was the best one at that moment.
Our brains are designed to find "answers" to our questions, whether they are the "right" ones or not. If we could be taught to listen to our bodies and our intuition, I think that would serve us well. Trusting myself is a life long lesson and one that I continually work to allow myself to do. And the more I "go with my gut" the more info my body tends to give me as I seem to be
"listening" to it more. It is funny how that works. It really is an inside job.
