Before the quack alarm goes off, take some time to take a look at this site, a sort of advice column run by Alan Inglis, M.D.
, self-proclaimed country doctor who takes time to listen to his patients (that’s all you’ll find in the site is regards to him, really), who instructs people to take a minute to think a bit about their health and reinstate reasonable healthcare habits, like washing hands, eating right, avoiding stress and the like, plus all he actually does is to suggest people to read what’s in the labels of widely known and used over-the-counter medication, and put together easily accessible medical information. Well, anyone could do that, you might say, and you’d be true, though the fact remains that no one has done it and marketed it as the advice of ‘America’s Country Doctor’, just an average caring and sensible doctor, like those who used to come to your house and spend a couple of hours chatting with you and your family. The really good part about the site is that he doesn’t sell anything, but he offers this knowledge for free through the site and a variety of newsletters, plus you can write with specific questions about whether you should take the Flu vaccine or use teeth whitening strips, or any other health-related question you might have. There is a big chance that this doctor’s advice can help you take your own decisions as a patient, try to reduce chemical and drug intake, and develop preventive healthcare habits. That’s always a good thing.
