My Health Encyclopedia is an encyclopedia written by, and for, the general public.

If you suffer from a condition, or are merely concerned about your health, all too often you are at the receiving end of information. This can lead to information overload - where you no longer know where to look, or even what to think - about a particular topic. Sometimes we can avoid seeking information on serious topics for the same reason.

At My Health Encyclopedia we encourage people to take an active role in creating wellbeing for their lives. If you would like to see a particular health issue covered, leave a comment. And if you suffer from a condition, please do the research, and also leave it as a comment. Perhaps you have discovered something that helps, that others do not. Or you may be a health professional who wishes to clarify or correct a particular fact. The best way to learn is to organize and to teach.

We ask that you put any information gleaned in your own words, to protect copyright laws. And all our advice is provided with the prevision that it is lay advice only, and no changes to your health plan should be considered without reference to your doctor.
