Because I’m a physician, I need to say here, for your protection as well as my own, that the information on this site, including that in any links, is intended only for the purposes of education and discussion. Writing can benefit healing but it can never substitute for medical care. Thus, none of the information here is intended to substitute for medical care. And participating with this site in any way—whether through reading, writing, commenting, or e-mail communication—does not mean that you will be establishing a doctor/patient relationship with me. Thus, though I hope you will find this site of benefit, you are urged in each and every case to take up your health issues and questions with your own physician or health care provider.
