Websites of interest to alt.backrubs readers

This is a list of documents about medicine, alternative health care and Usenet that I put together one rainy afternoon. Many of the references here come from the w3.sites file in the alt.backrubs archive so there is a bias towards the type of resources that I think interest alt.backrubs readers the most. Some of these sites are described in part 5 of the alt.backrubs frequently asked questions list.

Aesclepian Chronicles
`The editorial policy of Aesclepian Chronicles is to publish informative and inspirational articles about the many new complementary and allopathic treatment modalities that are emerging. These modalities may be approached from both a personal and a clinical perspective. The editorial goal of Aesclepian Chronicles is to critically evaluate the role, usefulness and applicability of complementary alternatives within the mainstream of medicine. We are interested in both the clinical and philosophical implications of the interaction of complementary and allopathic medicine. Equally of interest are the structural and economic issues as they relate to the attempts to reform the national health system.' (Quoted from the editorial policy)
