This is a very partial listing
of health and wellness links on the Internet. It is not intended to be complete
but rather send you in some interesting directions concerning issues of health
and wellness. A major problem with health information on the Net is determining
whether the information is accurate. One thing you might look for is the "HONcode"
emblem. "HONcode" sites require that medical and health information be published
by qualified professionals, unless otherwise stated. As an Internet consumer
of information you must beware and be careful. We pass on these links for information
and remind you that we are not responsible for their content.
