- Health Care Information Resources: AIDS Links
- http://www-hsl.mcmaster.ca/tomflem/aids.html
As the Head of Public Services in the McMaster University Health Sciences
Library in Hamilton, Ontario, I have a professional interest in making
health care information resources on the Internet and the World Wide
Web (WWW) accessible. You can access information about the Internet
or the WWW by clicking on either of the highlighted links in the previous
sentence. Since the Health Sciences Library serves schools of medicine,
nursing and rehabilitation sciences (in the Faculty of Health Sciences
), and since we are located in a major teaching hospital (the Chedoke-McMaster
Hospitals , part of the Hamilton Health Sciences Corporation ), I am
often able to make the resources I use for my clients available to a
broader audience of non-professionals (patients, sometimes, and their
families and friends) interested in health and health care, through
the creation of this web page: Health Care Information Resources.

- The Sensible Guide to using Complementary Therapies
for HIV
- http://www.interlog.com/~akash/
- My view of healthcare is slightly different from the western perspective.
I grew up in Malaysia, of South Asian descend. My father was a Naturopath
and my mother had a strong sense of herbalogy and spirituality, thereby
setting the holistic path early on for me and my siblings. I remember
nutrition, home remedies, internal and external body cleansing, prayers,
meditation, and exercise as part and parcel of our growing years. We
were brought up to respect the body as a temple and not to pollute it.
I can say with much comfort we adhered strongly to the Hippocratic motto,
" Let food be your medicine, and medicine your food." I am immensely
grateful to my parents for setting the foundation for holistic healthcare.
I have over 15 years of personal experience and knowledge of health
issues. Therefore, I believe I can productively contribute a viewpoint
to those who seek alternative approaches to healthcare. In addition,
a few good friends and family encouraged me immensely. I have lived
healthily, in a holistic manner, with HIV for 10 years without falling
into the usual pitfalls of the disease. It is my personal belief that
life is too precious to waste on anger, self-pity and blame.
