Warnings and Disclaimers |
The documents in this website are presented for informational purposes only. They are not meant to be a substitute for professional medical care or attention by a qualified practitioner, nor should they be inferred as such. ALWAYS check with your doctor if you have any questions or concerns about your condition, or before starting a new program of treatment. We are not responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damages resulting from the use (or misuse) of information contained in or implied by these pages or website.
The material in this web site may help you communicate more effectively with your health care providers. It may teach you how to ask them intelligent questions and understand their recommendations and instructions. You must keep in mind that many suggestions made here require sophisticated medical tests in order to be implemented. They therefore require the continuous advice and guidance of a physician, nutritionist, or individual with similar expertise. They are NOT intended to replace your doctor or to teach you how to treat yourself.
All health and medical issues are extremely complex. There are too many hidden factors involved for it to be safe for lay people to attempt to treat themselves without an expert health care provider. The wrong diagnosis or the wrong treatment, however well intended, could make the disease worse, and would ultimately make it more difficult to diagnose the correct disorder.
To make complex topics available to the general public, we have simplified the material presented. Therefore, some of the statements made are incomplete from a scientific point of view.
Because each person is different, it is impossible for us to provide advice that is appropriate for each person who may read this information. Even when we discuss general principles that may benefit most humans, they may not be good for you. Your decision requires a balance of risks, benefits, convenience, time, money, and other factors which we do not know. Your health provider will help you tailor the ideas presented here to your unique needs.
We review thousands of publications, scientific articles, web sites, and news media reports. We comment on them to alert you about new ideas and treatment options. We often include references for you to verify the information presented. However, we cannot verify the information presented. The information presented represents our opinions and could be false or misleading. It may contain incorrect statements of a material fact, or omit a material fact necessary to prevent a statement from being false or misleading.
We are not responsible for any action taken that is based on the information contained in this web site, in our publications, newsletters, books, reports, presentations at scientific meetings, telephone consultations, letters, or any other form of communication made by Dr. Siguel or anyone presenting or selling or distributing information provided by Dr. Siguel.

All implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular use or purpose are excluded. We shall not be liable under any legal theory.

We select only the most outstanding and credible medical material for inclusion on this website. The editors consult only sources they deem reliable and competent.
