| The Health Conditions Center of HealthWorld Online offers a comprehensive "Self-Managed Care" approach to finding information and resources for over 200 health conditions. Although we support a systems approach to health care that seeks to correct the systemic imbalances which underlie most health concerns, we have chosen to present these "health concerns" in a more familiar format of "Diseases & Conditions."
Self-Care: Each disease or condition begins with an article on "Self-Care," describing the condition, its causes, and symptoms and providing a clear map of decision steps regarding self-care, when to call or visit a physician, and when to seek immediate emergency care.
Complementary Medicine: Articles and audiotapes from leading experts in the fields of nutritional medicine, herbal medicine, homeopathy, naturopathic medicine, acupuncture, chiropractic, and integrated, holistic medicine. For you convenience, articles that are written to for professionals are labeled "Professional." Many of the professional-level articles are accessible to a interested consumer and can provide valuable information in one's search for condition-related information.
Resource Center: When appropriate we include a "Resource Center" for a specific condition which provides links to related consumer health organizations, newsletters, online support groups, and books in the HealthWorld Bookstore.
