"With a promise to serve as the Internet's most comprehensive wellness resource, HealthWorld has set its sites high -- but it proves itself admirably up to the task. Designed as a colorful virtual village of healthy living, it offers easily accessed and well-rounded resources in such categories as Alternative Medicine, Wellness, Nutrition, Public Health, Fitness and Self-Care. A visit to the Alternative & Complementary Medicine Center found guides to alt-med basics, plus introductions to and research on major systems such as Ayurvedic Medicine and Homeopathy, and prominent therapies such as Aromatherapy, Biofeedback and Guided Imagery. The Newsroom, Professional Center and Forums help keep health-oriented news flowing as well. Though much of the consumer information is free, HealthWorld is a commercial venture, and it's got plenty of stuff for sale in areas such as the Marketplace (which even includes a healthy vacation section). But even if you keep your wallet closed, HealthWorld Online offers a wealth of wellness resources. 14 October 1997: One of the best additions to this site is its QuikN'dex, which lists all the site's resources on one page, a far cleaner way of getting the lay of the land."
