Hopefully you know Dr. Mercola by now. First and foremost he is an osteopathic physician, also known as a DO. DOs are licensed physicians who, similar to MDs, can prescribe medication and perform surgery in all 50 states. DOs and MDs have similar training requiring four years of study in the basic and clinical sciences, and the successful completion of licensing exams. But DOs bring something extra to the practice of medicine. Osteopathic physicians practice a "whole person" approach, treating the entire person rather than just symptoms. Focusing on preventive health care, DOs help patients develop attitudes and lifestyles that don't just fight illness, but help prevent it, too. His website, http://www.mercola.com/ is one of the most popular websites on the internet for your optimal health related question.  It was a special honor to bring his perspectives to ALIGN!   Learn more about your ad choices.
