Health Resources

There is far too much false information out here on the Internet! So when I am looking for unbiased information, I turn to reputable health or government agencies who actually benefit from keeping you healthy!

Reliable Health Sites

Mayo Clinic - http://www.mayoclinic.com

Cleveland Clinic - http://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/default.aspx

Medline Plus- http://medlineplus.gov

National Institutes of Health - http://www.nih.gov

National Library of Medicine - http://www.nlm.nih.gov

The Women's "circle of health" Newsletter - this is the monthly newsletter that I write. While it does promote Adora Calcium Supplements, it is written with the consumer in mind and always utilizes the latest research and reliable health news.
