Do not submit copyrighted or other proprietary material in any form unless you clearly indicate that you have permission to do so.  By posting your comments or other work, you grant us and anyone viewing the posting permission to copy, distribute, make derivatives, display or perform the commenter’s work publicly and free-of-charge.

When using the Site, you may encounter documents, illustrations, photographs, video, audio, or other content that are created by Us or are contributed by or licensed from private individuals, companies, or organizations, and the content may be protected by U.S. and international copyright laws. You can often tell if content is copyrighted if it has the copyright symbol, the name of the copyright holder, or the statement “All rights reserved.”  However, a copyright notice is not required by law and therefore not all copyrighted content is necessarily marked in this way.  Transmission or reproduction of copyrighted work, beyond that allowed under the Doctrine of Fair Use as defined in the U.S. copyright laws, requires written permission from the copyright holders.  It is your responsibility to determine and satisfy copyright or other use restrictions when using materials that are not in the public domain.

It is not the intention of this Site or its contributors to provide specific medical advice, but rather to provide users with information to better understand health and healing.  Personal medical advice will not be provided and you are urged to consult with a qualified health professional for diagnosis and for answers to your individual and personal medical questions.
