Health: Consumer Health-Related Sites (A Very Incomplete Sampling)
By award-winning author and stress-relief expert Susie Mantell
This is not an endorsement of the sites mentioned; rather a sampling of many well-known organizations who offer consumer health information with little or no commercial bias or gain. This is intended only as a starting point for you to see which you like/don't, to find more, and learn what you can to reduce stress and support wellness. Always seek credible, unbiased resources when researching treatments and protocols. Most of these have many "Search" functions. Always check dates of content postings for the most current information available.
