credited to other sources or links. We do
have medical
professionals such as Dr. Chikly, who submit information and that is credited
to him.
We credit all information with a source, any information you see
that does not have a source or link was
submitted to us by a member
of our support group part of the website. If you know where it came from,
please do let us know and we will credit to the correct
source.
Our website is geared to patients, therapists, doctors, caregivers, health professionals, and the public. Our
goal and
mission is to educate all, along with providing individual help to those in
need.
We respect the wishes of anyone who contributes to our website and
we do ask permission to print
