Prescribing The Occult

 

His name is Dr. Joseph Mercola, a physician who has made well over $100 million dollars selling dietary supplements. He is also the author of  books on wellness and COVID. Mercola (b. 1954) is part of the modern Wellness Movement, defined as "a global trend that promotes holistic health and well-being through lifestyle changes, preventative measures, and self-care practices. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health, and encourages individuals to take an active role in maintaining their overall well-being." (See globalwellnessinstitute.org; Emphasis mine).

A darling among social and political conservatives, Mercola is known for opposing the COVID vaccine, and his rants against conventional medicine. He is targeted by many for exaggerated claims about the efficacy of various supplements and alleged conspiracies around COVID-19. Whatever one may think of Joseph Mercola, this post will not discuss his wellness claims. 

The truth about Mercola sounds like something out of a movie, yet it is true. The multimillionaire physician makes his decisions based on consultations with “a collective source energy aimed at bringing self-awareness to Earth," named Bahlon and is channeled through a psychic medium. 

The story is as weird and disturbing as it sounds. This post will serve as yet another example of how deep the occult explosion after Vatican II goes. (This post is a compilation of all the information I have gathered from multiple sources. I take no credit for the information presented.---Introibo). 

Dr. Mercola: Advocating Occult Practices

Dr. Mercola has advocated for occult practices (with zero scientific support) as a means of getting/staying healthy. Two are very troubling:

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or "Tapping"

Here's how this pseudo-scientific and occult practice allegedly "works:"

Emotional freedom technique (EFT) is a method some people use to help manage emotions and troubling thoughts. They may also use it to lower their stress and anxiety. For example, EFT may help calm you if you're feeling angry. Or it may help ease your thoughts if you're worried about something.

EFT is also called tapping. This is because to do EFT, you tap your fingertips on certain points on your hand, head, and torso. The points you tap on for EFT are like those used in acupuncture, Opens dialog.

Experts don't agree on how well EFT works. And it shouldn't replace going to see a health professional for serious issues like depression and trauma.

How to do EFT

You can do EFT, or tapping, whenever you feel upset. You may find that it helps you feel better.

To do EFT, follow these steps.

1. Think of an issue that's bothering you.

This could be any issue. For example, it could be something you're feeling anxious or sad about.

2. Measure how your issue makes you feel.

Rate how bad you feel on a scale from 0 to 10. A score of 0 means you don't feel bad at all. But a score of 10 means you feel as bad as possible. Write down this number.

3. Create a statement that describes your issue, followed by a statement of self-acceptance.

For example, you could say, "Even though I feel anxious about work tomorrow, I deeply and completely accept myself." Or you could say, "Even though my partner broke up with me, I deeply and completely accept myself."

4. Tap repeatedly on the edge of your palm, below your little finger.

While you tap, say your statement out loud 3 times.

5. Now tap on the rest of the points on your body, one at a time.

While you tap, state your issue over and over. For example, you might repeat "anxious about test" or "we broke up." Tap on each point in this order.

a. Tap on the top, center of your head.

b. Tap on the inside edge of one eyebrow.

c. Tap next to the outside edge of one eye.

d. Tap on the bone underneath one eye.

e. Tap between your nose and your upper lip.

f. Tap between your lower lip and your chin.

g. Tap beneath one collarbone (find the notch beneath the inside edge of the collarbone).

h. Tap under one armpit (about 4 inches below the armpit).

i. Stop and remeasure how you feel about your issue.

j. Repeat the steps if needed.

k. Tap until you can give your issue a lower number, or until you feel better.

(See healthy.kaiserpermanente.org/health-wellness/health-encyclopedia/he.emotional-freedom-technique-eft.acl9225).

This technique is based on the false and occult ideas of "chakras" called "energy meridians." Notice how it is related to acupuncture:  The points you tap on for EFT are like those used in acupuncture (See above).

Acupuncture is a method of applying stimulation to specific points on the body. Based on the occultic religion of Taoism, acupuncturists claim to be able to stimulate the flow of ki/chi energy through alleged invisible channels or “meridians” in the body (much like "chakras"). When body organs or systems are supposedly deficient in a proper supply of chi energy, imbalance is allegedly produced, resulting in disease. Restoring the flow of  energy through the meridians is believed to revitalize the body organs and systems, thereby curing illness and maintaining health.

Some scientists have claimed that acupuncture is effective for certain ailments and that it works on the basis of as yet unknown principles. However, the latest scientific research is not supportive; studies have yet to demonstrate acupuncture’s effectiveness. For example, an exhaustive analysis of research published in The Clinical Journal of Pain (June 1991) concluded that acupuncture was at best a powerful placebo (See also Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, 1990, Vol. 43, pp. 1191-99). When Western scientists attempt to separate acupuncture from its underlying occultic philosophy or practice and merely engage in an unspecific needle stimulation, these methods tend to lose their efficacy.

In 2014, when pharmacologist David Colquhoun at University College London was asked, "Why is it so hard to figure out whether acupuncture works or not?" He responded, "There is a lot of money at stake for those who sell acupuncture—and a certain amount of fascination with New Age thinking. There are excellent controls such as retractable needles. Almost all experiments show no difference between real and sham acupuncture." (See https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/5-scientists-weigh-in-on-acupuncture/). 

Classical acupuncture involves the practice of an ancient pagan medicine inseparably tied to Taoism. In addition, Eastern meditative programs or other occultic practices may be used in conjunction with acupuncture therapy. I was witness to an acupuncture session where the "practitioner" was assisted by four others whose collective job was to "impose their hands over the patient" (much like a bishop at Confirmation imposes hands over all those to be confirmed) and were saying "whoosh!" over and over while the needles were being put in the person's back. Afterwards, I asked what they were doing and I was told they were "projecting their chi energy into the patient for maximal healing." Someone actually paid for this garbage. 

EFT is just as bad. According to EFT founder Gary Craig, EFT is an "emotional version of acupuncture" wherein certain meridian points are stimulated by tapping on them with the fingertips. "This addresses a new cause for emotional issues (unbalanced energy meridians)" he says, but neglects to add that there is no known anatomical or histological basis for the existence of these meridians.

Any healing that may take place as a result of these treatments comes from traditional cognitive components such as the placebo effect, and distraction from negative thoughts. 

Earthing

What is Earthing? According to health.clevelandclinic.org/earthing:

“Earthing is about having direct skin contact with the surface of the Earth, whether it’s your bare feet, your hands or other parts of your body,” Dr. Albers explains. The theory is that when we physically connect with the ground, its electrical energy rebalances our own. Proponents believe that the rise in chronic illnesses can be attributed, in part, to our footwear.

“They point out that we've just recently started wearing shoes with rubber soles, which don’t conduct electricity,” she continues. “So, part of the argument is that we've removed that contact from the Earth, which is making us unwell.”

Modern earthing is a new(ish) twist on a widespread belief in the healing potential of the Earth. Practitioners of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapy of reflexology sometimes walk barefoot to stimulate the flow of energy (qi) throughout the body. Being barefoot is also a feature of many indigenous cultures around the world — and several religions require devotees to remove their shoes to pray or enter a place of worship.

So, these ideas have been “in the air,” in one form or another, for a long time. But the specific practice of earthing has been having a moment since 2022, when it became a hot topic on social media.

Once more, the occult "chi" or "ki" "life force" is invoked as in EFT and acupuncture. The same source readily admits Earthing is not supported by solid evidence:

Unfortunately, you don’t have to spend too much time researching earthing to start finding unscientific (and even dangerous) claims about it. In some cases, those claims could have catastrophic effects. For example, some claim earthing can prevent or treat COVID-19, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s and diabetes, among other conditions.

Just like you do when you’re walking barefoot on the ground, Dr. Albers recommends treading carefully when learning about earthing.

Does the lack of solid research mean you have to give up on earthing? Nope! While the specific medical claims connected to the practice are unproven, there is a substantial body of research suggesting that getting fresh air is good for us — no matter how we go about it

The author of the article sees nothing wrong with the use of occult practices/ideas. If you want fresh air, go outside and get fresh air. Walk barefoot in Central Park (if you dare), but there's no "qi/chi/ki" that's healing you. How much scientific research proves the existence of qi? Zero. 

Both of these pseudo-scientific, occult practices have been lauded and promoted by Dr. Mercola.

Meet "Bahlon"

From "Bahlon's" website:

Ever hear of channeling? Or Light Language?

Meet BAHLON an ancient and wise high-vibration entity from the Causal Plane channeled by Master Trance Channel Kai Clay.

The messages and healing energy shared during their packed group events are always uplifting, are often staggeringly predictive—filled with the Divine healing energy of Universal love, hope and healing.  

And now sometimes when available, his 10 year-old daughter Sera joins with Bahlon to share full conversations in Light Language (and interpret these in English for all) followed by Light Language meditations so powerful many say they can “feel it in the bones of every past life, present and future life.”

An experience with Bahlon is much more than just astonishingly accurate answers! Bahlon is known to activate clarity, highly attuned and very precise actions to take, spiritual development, incredible synchronicities, and provides life-changing beneficial impacts.

Bahlon offers guidance so precise and uplifting, you will want to join in every week (and MANY do!).

Bahlon supports individuals from all over the world in all walks of life. Business leaders, parents, healers, celebrities, doctors and even Buddhist monks who regularly book sessions with Bahlon

(See bahlon.com/about). 

Christopher Johnson, aka Kai Clay, claims to channel Bahlon. How he came to do this is never explained. What I found highly unsettling was a short video of a testimonial from a middle aged woman and her teenage daughter (looks about 14). The woman is a "single mother" who doesn't want to expose her child to bad influences. She gets her parenting advice from Bahlon and arranges for her daughter to meet with the entity alone (all is done via Zoom online) and get advice. This mother is unfit to raise plants, let alone a daughter (God pity her).

In another video I watched, Clay comes online and "puts himself in a trance" almost instantly, by closing his eyes. You then hear him laugh twice and speak monotone--"Bahlon" is now speaking through him. It looks like a charlatan at work. Even if  chicanery, consulting Bahlon is mortally sinful, and opens the person to encounters from demons. According to theologian Jone, "Spiritism claims to be able to communicate with the spirit world and endeavors to establish such commerce with it. Although spiritism is for the most part fraud, still the intention alone to enter into communication with spirits is gravely sinful. Therefore, it is mortally sinful to conduct a spiritistic seance or to act as a medium." (See Moral Theology, pg. 100; Emphasis mine).

As I've written before, mediums are condemned by both the Bible and Church teaching. "Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD; because of these same detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you." (See Deuteronomy 18:10-12; Emphasis mine.) Lest anyone object Bahlon is a "high vibration entity," if it comes from the spiritual plane, it can ONLY be demonic as no such vibrational entities exist. Even to attempt communication is mortally sinful for both medium and participants. 

Mercola Does The Bidding of Bahlon

Here is Mercola's disturbing relationship with Clay/Bahlon:

Famous for courting controversy, Dr. Joseph Mercola now plans to guide his followers and “billions around the world” to a “new paradigm of how to increase joy in their life” with help from the same psychic whose advice appears to have led him to fire his top executives last month.

That’s according to a video and article from the doctor that was given to SupplySide Supplement Journal by a Mercola employee who said the content is planned for release in Mercola’s newsletters. SupplySide Supplement Journal was given credentials to access the content on a Mercola webpage. The company's head of marketing did not immediately respond to an email from a reporter for this story whether or when the company planned to release the article.

In the article, Mercola described his consultations with “a collective source energy aimed at bringing self-awareness to Earth,” whom he referred to as “Bahlon.” Mercola fired CEO Steve Rye; Chief Business Officer Ryan Boland; and Chief Editor Janet Selvig, Mercola’s sister, Feb. 7, as detailed in a SupplySide Supplement Journal exclusive Feb 13.

Mercola has not responded to requests for comment and offered no public response to the Feb. 13 article.

In Mercola’s article, which had not been published as of March 1, the doctor promised to release videos of his conversations with Clay/Bahlon in order to share “the universality of Bahlon’s wisdom.”

“I’ve come to understand Bahlon as a high-vibrational entity seeking to uplift humanity through messages of love, hope and healing,” the doctor wrote.

Mercola went on to describe “a blending of optimal biology and eternal energy” and noted that “according to Bahlon, the energy produced in your mitochondria is identical to the energy that created the material universe.”

The article included these quotes from Clay as Bahlon: “Trust is intrinsic. Confidence is action. [It’s] difficult to have confidence if you don't have trust. But you can muster confidence even when you don't entirely trust yourself because confidence is situational. Trust is systemic.”

In his article, Mercola declared “initial skepticism,” but went on to note that “after months of daily conversations, I can now attest to the authenticity and wisdom of Bahlon's insights.” Later, Mercola admonished his followers, “Be discerning with information sources — Avoid seeking advice from untrustworthy sources, as bad information typically brings nothing but chaos and confusion.”

(Oh, the sheer irony!)

(See https://www.supplysidesj.com/supplements/dr-mercola-allegedly-plans-to-introduce-psychic-advisor-to-followers-; Emphasis mine).

It gets worse. It appears Bahlon has a problem with anything called "Catholic," including the Vatican II sect.

Top executives at Mercola, the brand founded by controversial Covid anti-vax figure Dr. Joseph Mercola, were terminated last week without notice, and evidence has surfaced that the doctor is taking direction from a man who claims to channel the voice of an “ancient and wise high-vibration entity from the causal plane.”

An email that appears to be written by Mercola and shared with a reporter for this story also includes language suggesting the firings were related to the executives’ religious beliefs. Mercola did not respond to repeated requests for comment...

In hours of video discovered online, Mercola converses with a man going by the name Kai Clay who speaks as though he is the voice of the entity, referred to as “Bahlon.” Clay, with his eyes closed as if in trance, talks with Mercola about his business and spiritual matters in a rambling conversation that the doctor claims will be the basis of a series of books he plans to publish. In a video of Mercola that was shared with the brand’s employees Feb. 12, the doctor described a 12-book series as “a new beginning for the company” and declared that “my new goal is to reach billions, literally billions, around the world with a new paradigm of how to increase joy in their life.”

The Feb. 12 video came five days after three top executives — CEO Steve Rye; Chief Business Officer Ryan Boland; and Chief Editor Janet Selvig, Mercola’s sister — received termination letters signed by a Laura Berry, who had not worked at the company before but claimed in the letter she was the new Mercola CEO. In the Feb. 12 video, Mercola announced he will visit the offices on Feb. 14 with “my new CEO who's a brilliant, unbelievable woman who's going to take us to the next level,” but offers no name. He also promises a “surprise guest” who will be the company’s chief operating officer...

Mercola's sister believes her brother is being duped and confronted him:

Selvig said her brother was very dismissive of her concerns and defended his work with Clay. “He thinks the book is going to save the world,” Selvig said. “He believes that he's [Mercola] a god and he's been reincarnated. And he even referred to himself as the new Jesus.”

On Feb. 2, Selvig was shown an email sent to a coworker from Mercola’s address announcing the doctor’s intention to fire Selvig, Rye, Boland and a fourth executive. The email offered the CEO spot to a different Mercola team member who later turned down the position. The email went on to explain “reasons for the mutiny,” describing the Catholic church as a “global cabal” that controls “50% of the world’s worth” and “created all the pain that most people experience.”

The email added that Rye, Boland, Selvig and the fourth executive have “strong commitments to the Catholic church.” “The group I am now working with is committed to liberating their wealth and control back to the people and give them back their freedom. I hope you will join me in this noble anti crusade against them,” the email reads.

Other Disturbing Views of Mercola

Online videos were obtained and leaked by those who worked for Mercola. I watched some of them. In the videos, Mercola:

• claims he blows CO2 (carbon dioxide) up his anus and that of his dog for optimal health
• wants all veterinarians to be killed
• calls for violence against Catholics
• says his next book will be “bigger than the Bible” and will make him “the next Jesus"

Conclusion

Dr. Joseph Mercola is a quack, peddling false "wellness" pseudoscience, some of which is purely occult, like EFT and Earthing. He takes advice from an "entity" named Bahlon who is channeled through a medium Kai Clay, a man with no discernable credentials in any respected field. As a result of his conversations with Bahlon, Mercola has made major business decisions, has hatred for Catholics (I would imagine Vatican II sect and Traditionalist), wants veterinarians murdered, and claims he will become the "next Jesus." 

Is Bahlon a demon, or is Clay one of the most impressive charlatans around having duped Mercola? In either case, consulting a medium/channeler is mortally sinful. Even if fraud, such activity can open the door to real demons. Stay away from Mercola and anything he sells; the profits will be used to push his occultism and Bahlon. I have often said there is an Occult Invasion after Vatican II. There's no room to doubt it.
