DISCLAIMER: SOME WORDS OF CAUTION
There are only a few topics mentioned on this web page.
For this reason it cannot be used as a comprehensive
guide to health care. The links on this page were set
up for my own use AND at my own expense. They are shared
here with other readers only as a time-saving convenience
gateway to external Internet resources.
As a protection against the growing problem of phisher
sites I will not add suggested links to other websites
without full identification of the individual making
the request, to include real name and telephone number.
This information will not be disclosed except to law
enforcement if there is a problem. Although I screen
suggested links initially, it is impossible for me to
monitor subsequent changes to sub-links at a website.
I do not receive any compensation from any person or
corporation for any of the comments or links on this page,
and absolutely no recommendation is stated or implied.
Readers should remember that any data obtained from any
Internet links should be used with caution, for initial
education only. They should qualify any such information
by comparison to reputable sources at official medical,
dental, hospital, legal, technical, or university
libraries. Final decisions should be made only after
consultation with one or more qualified and licensed
professionals who are in GOOD STANDING in their own
communities.
