Diseases and Health Conditions
This page has been designed to guide
students in their research on diseases, both current and historical. Just
a word of caution -- it is unwise to rely solely on Web resources for
research information. While it is true that there are many excellent authoritative
web sites, there are also many web sites that present FALSE and MISLEADING
information. Do not forget to consult print sources such as books, magazine,
and newspaper articles.
