EnviroLink

May not be exactly a health-type link but, as the state of the environment usually affect the health of the general population, I include it here rather than under miscellaneous.

Eyesight.

Dr. William H. Bates was a New York Opthalmologist with some revolutionary ideas on the way refractive errors of the eye should be treated. If you have faith (in his methods), patience, and determination, you should be able to discard your glasses and see, once again, with natural vision. Here, Alex Eulenberg has set up quite a nifty web site on the subject.

Included are standard Snellen charts and an "astigmatic mirror" chart designed for monitoring (and controling) astigmatism.

It is said that, on the average, smoking one stick of cigarette reduces one's lifespan by seven minutes. Tobacco use is the single most important preventable risk to human health..., and an important cause of premature death worldwide.

Unfortunately, and not infrequently, we see otherwise "respectable" people (who can be so impressionable to the youths of today) such as community leaders, priests, doctors(!!!), smoke as freely as if they have no care for either their own health or for those who may be watching them as leaders, examples to emulate, or as role models.

Smoking is an addiction and an anti-social behaviour which needs to be eradicated as it forces other people to suffer from the carcinogenically polluted air produced by the smoker.

The Vegetarian Pages

Since the Chief Consultant Surgeon expounded on the benefits of a vegetarian diet during one clinical meeting, some of us had been looking up on this topic...e.g. this website is intended to be a definitive guide to what is available on the Internet for vegetarians, vegans and others.
