The information and recommendations contained on this web site are, by necessity, general in nature and are designed to act as a guide only. You have your own health priorities and health problems that will affect your preventative health needs and regular consultation with health professionals who are aware of your past and present health problems is required to ensure you obtain optimum preventative health advice. (In many cases this may include the need for specialist care and advice that is beyond the intended scope of this resource.)
It is important to realise that knowledge in the field of preventive medicine is changing rapidly and thus some information on this web site will be out of date when read. Additionally, though the author makes every effort to ensure that the information provided is current, complete and accurate, occasional omissions and errors will occur due to the size and diversity of this health resource. Also, while the web site attempts to cover most important topics in preventive health, some topics are not included.
For the above reasons you are strongly advised not to use this web site as your sole source of information or advice regarding preventative health issues. Your primary source of such information should always be your regular medical practitioners and you should not act without their advice.
