If you have a health problem that you want to research more, click on the heading on the left that fits the topic. Alternatively, put the name of the medical problem in the Google search box on top of the page that will search, whether my website has an answer for you. You will come to another page where either your problem is discussed in detail or there could be an overview with several subheadings such as introduction, signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests and treatment. Click through all of these subheadings as they will often bring you to more pages where you get more detailed information about the topic.

Whenever possible I have attempted to point out alternative and complementary treatments along the conventional ones. This is particularly important in the case of diseases due to aging.

For instance, you may think of hypothyroidism as a disease where the thyroid does not produce enough thyroid hormones and replacement with thyroid pills solves the problem. However, hypothyroidism can also be due to an autoimmune disorder and this may affect other body areas such as joints, the gut etc. At other times hypothyroidism could be only one manifestation of the aging process and a lack of testosterone in men or a lack of estrogens and progesterone in menopausal women may be present at the same time. You may want to remind your physician to test for other hormone deficiencies as well. You find all of this mentioned in various places of nethealthbook.com.

I encourage you to read more about any health concerns you may have. Read this website, but educate yourself using other medical websites as well. Form your own opinion and participate in your own healthcare. It will help you to live a healthier, more energy filled life. To your health!
