		<description>Shannon - I do a great deal of due diligence. You, on the other hand, appear to have swallowed Null&#039;s propaganda hook, like, and sinker. 

Really - the &quot;truth&quot; about Null on his own website? You think he is an objective source of information about himself. 

Null has make a lucrative career out of selling supplements and services. He is not doing this for free. Don&#039;t confuse marketing for truth. 

Here is a good resource: http://www.quackwatch.org/04ConsumerEducation/null.html

Of note, it gives an update on the lawsuit:

&quot;During the next few days, Null&#039;s Web sites posted at least three reactions to publicity about the suit. One said that he was &quot;completely and totally healthy and everything is fine.&quot; Another said that &quot;none of the retail product reached the market&quot; and he had &quot;returned to complete health.&quot; But after a Los Angeles Times blog noted that these statements contradicted what the lawsuit said, Null replaced them with one that said he was &quot;feeling substantially better.&quot; Two weeks later, he filed an amended complaint that omitted all of the allegations related to his own alleged illness and claimed only that his company had suffered damage to its reputation [18]. That same day, Null, his company, and the suppliers were sued by a man who got sick after using the product [19]. It should be interesting to see what the legal proceedings uncover.&quot;</description>

		<description>I am very dissappointed in the article.  The claims you are saying about Gary Null being sick are NOT TRUE.  This is from his own mouth to my ears.  It is normal that the media will take any opportunity to slam someone that is doing so much good in the lives of thousands. And to compare him to Kevin Trudeau.  COME ON!!!  Give me a break.  I invite you to read the truth about Gary Null on his website at GaryNull.com and you can see 100&#039;s of videos on Youtube sharing information for FREE. He has NEVER charged anyone for a health consulation.  

I invite you to do your OWN due dilegence.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s ironic that 2,000 IU/d of vitamin D is the one part of Null&#039;s Power Meal that may actually be of benefit.</description>

		<description>From the original article:

&lt;i&gt;&quot;Null would later be told that if he had not flown back to New York and seen his doctor, then he could have died within a short period of time,&quot; the suit says.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

When push comes to shove, many woos will go running to a real doctor...</description>

		<description>Doesn&#039;t his lawsuit leave him much more open to law suits against himself?  His suit indicates that he believes that his own product is harmful, which is something that would otherwise have to be argued or demonstrated in court if someone wanted to sue him.  His lawsuit weakens his ability to deny that other people were harmed by his product.  Of course the manufacturer may be liable, but he also appears to be leaving himself vulnerable.</description>

		<description>I love the irony of an advocate of vitamin mega-dosing being affected by vitamin toxicity - ties in nicely to an entry I was working on for my own (toxicology-oriented) blog today about the supposed safety of &quot;natural&quot; substances. Unfortunately I doubt if it will make his followers think twice.</description>

		<description>My sister is a huge fan of Mercola.  We&#039;ve butted heads once or twice on alt med claims, mainly I&#039;ve argued against homeopathy since that&#039;s really easy to do.  I haven&#039;t had the energy to do a thorough debunk of any of Mercola&#039;s articles, but he fits the pitch-man mold you describe above.</description>
