Health-Essentials.info

How we began

The Health-Essentials.info website was launched in July of 2003 as a way to present important health information that you need, but that the FDA would rather you not have.  The restrictions imposed by the FDA's current interpretation of the Dietary Supplement and Education Act of 1994 means that, in order to present you with anything more that stale, generic descriptions of natural, health-promoting products, information that is actually usable must be separated from the products themselves.  Hence, this website.

Find out what the FDA doesn't want you to hear

While the content is meager at this point, in the months to come, it will fill up with information you can really use on the use of therapeutic-grade essential oils, nutritional supplements, health problems and other things in our world that have an important impact on your health.

The information is divided up in categories on:

• Scientific reports,
• Anecdotal reports (what could be considered case studies) and testimonials,
• Health alerts and Issues,
• Articles from published health-related newsletters, and a
• Members' area, where I include an archive of past newsletters and other information.

Often, these different categories will be linked, providing you with a distinction between the science and the experiencial, but making it easy to gain the benefits of both.

There is also a bulletin board, so you can share with others interested in natural healthcare and nutrition.

Scientific reports

There is a vast amount of information that can be included under the general heading of "Scientific reports".  So, I've grouped the information here in the following categories:

• Essential oils,
• Aromatherapy,
• Foods,
• Nutritional supplements, and
• Health concerns.
