WARNING - Medical Information on the Internet
Whilst the internet is a valuable resource for information I would warn anybody seeking medical advice to discuss any potential treatment with their family doctor and other specialist in the field before embarking on treatment. Information on the internet is not subject to editorial control and may represent views that are not generally accepted or offer opinions that are overstated and go unchallenged. It is also important to ensure that those offering treatment are qualified to do so.
