When I was DX'ed some 30 years ago, I came across the work of Dr. Joseph Mercola, D.O. who was supporting an alternative view to diabetes care than the establishment. It echoed with my desire to find ways I could assist my body to control the beast and slow down the inevitable(?) progression to insulin and complications. At first, his advice seemed to make sense, but as time went on I learnt more about my body, and his remedies lost their impact.
In the end, I decided he was a Quack and snake oil salesman par excellence. Seems I was not alone in this decision, but apparently he is still going strong with his anti-establishment views.
He is apparently an anti-vax superspreader.

His cure for Covid-19 is oral dosing with hydrogen peroxide, and it is well known that this is hair bleach and a major major strong one at that. I always wondered where Trump got his 'drink bleach idea' from - seems it was from Dr Mercola.
Mercola is also spreading the myths about hydroxychloroquine medicine and other unknown chemical compounds. His subscription to his newsletter is measured in the millions. His corporation is selling well both on his books and his supplements.
So I no longer advocate for him (which sadly I did in earlier posts on this site) and advise everyone to give him a miss. I tried some of his remedies in the early days, and still ended up at the Insulin Users Only door, so save your money.
Edit I thought he was an MD but he is only a chiropractor certified as DO.
