Summary

Story at-a-glance

Google slashed traffic to Mercola.com by 99.9%, replacing years of trusted content with pharma-backed search results that promote junk food and drugs as "healthcare" solutions
A new term, “nonaginate,” describes Google's tactic of wiping out 90% or more of alternative health websites’ visibility — a practice now threatening hundreds of holistic sources
Under the guise of safety, Google uses vague policies like EEAT and YMYL to bury licensed doctors and researchers who question mainstream pharmaceutical narratives
Google's so-called “quality raters” depend on Wikipedia for judgments about credibility — even though its anonymous editors openly oppose natural health and block factual corrections
To protect your health freedom and privacy, I recommend ditching all Google products — from search to Gmail — and switching to platforms that respect your data and independence

0:57.7	Let's begin with the numbers.
0:59.5	On June 3rd, 2019, a single Google Core update erased about 99.9% of search traffic
1:07.1	to Mercola.com.
1:08.8	Two decades of meticulously referenced articles vanished from the
1:12.1	first pages overnight, replaced by ads masquerading as health guidance that push processed food
1:17.7	and patented drugs. Researcher and mathematician Bill Dembski coined a new verb for that level of
1:22.9	destruction, non-aginate. Borrowed from the Latin word for 90, it describes wiping out at least nine-tenths of
1:29.7	something. When Google non-aginates a website, it isn't tweaking results. It's effectively locking you
1:36.1	out of an entire library. Dr. Mercola experienced that lock firsthand. For years, his site ranked high
