macOS Hi Sierra, 10.13.5 using Safari and it will not allow me to access website of Dr. Joseph Mercola. Is anyone else having this problem?

Richard9936, the person who is being blatant here is you in challenging my question. I resist the impulse to "really tell you off" - your attitude does not reflect the integrity and helpful nature of the majority of Mac users. Waste of space, Richard. I woke up this morning ready to contact an advocacy group if Google and Safari are really censoring my access to this website. (Not mentioning the URL so as not to offend you...). In future, please do not blatantly dismiss the sincerity of a question. Obviously, you're not a deep thinker, so FYI this involves my right to access alternate health information that I deem to be valuable.

Eric Root, thank you for your speedy response to this issue which is deeply troubling to me. I haven't yet gone through your very constructive list of suggestions, but definitely will do so. mercola.com is the website I would usually use. Going back to the problem: What I did to try and circumvent the problem was get to the website via DuckDuckGo (private window) and then luckily I was able to re-register myself with Mercola there. In return I got an email confirming this - but when I try to access information through the email by clicking on the URL's it provides, I still get the following message from Safari: "Safari can’t open the page - Safari can’t open the page “https://www.mercola.com” because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server “www.mercola.com”. Today I will have to be off the net until much later this afternoon because there's some work being done in the room where I keep my computer. Sorry, but I will get back to this asap once I have access to my computer again. I am so ready to get on to an advocacy group about this if we can't figure it out. I think it starts with Google and they have no right whatsoever to censor the I/T. It will probably be this evening when I can post my results from your helpful suggestions. Sincere thanks again for your time and thoughtfulness. (I'm in Canada and same time here as NY).

Hi Eric and once again, thank you for your detailed reply. Please don't feel that your time was wasted as I very much appreciated knowing I was able to have some methods of trying to solve the problem. So I have marked the feedback as solving my question. I have just now heard from the Mercola website verifying that they in fact have a problem: "At this time our articles are unavailable. We are currently experiencing technical difficulties, and our IT department is working diligently to get it resolved. We appreciate your patience during this matter. I have included a direct link below to view all of our articles once the issue is fixed. I hope this information finds you well. If there is anything else I can assist with, please feel free to contact me."
