The Internet is a wonderful tool to both find and distribute information. I use it every day to compile information to share with you. In addition, many of the stories I receive come from readers of the newsletter.

I have separated the data into two tables. The first is all the natural health sites that I am aware of. The second has all the most visited medical/ health sites in the world of which I am aware.

Please note that I intentionally excluded sites that are not exclusively medical or health sites. For example if MSNBC or CNN has a health section, its traffic can't be separated from the traffic of the entire site. So major media sites and newspaper sites like the Washington Post and the British Broadcast Corporation have been intentionally excluded, not overlooked.

If you believe any medical or health Website has been overlooked, please check their name at www.alexa.com or contact us.

The ratings are updated as of May 17, 2002.

You might find it interesting to see how the ratings have changed over the last seven months.

One of the ways that one can objectively determine how much traffic a site receives is by the number of visitors to the site. This is only one criteria and is not necessarily associated with the quality of content at that site. However, it is one parameter that can be used to determine how others value the site.

The BEST way to inexpensively determine the traffic at a site is www.alexa.com. You don't have to download any software from alexa.

Just go to www.alexa.com and type in the URL of the web site you want to see ranked in the search bar and alexa will actually shows you how the site you enter ranks among the over 50 million web sites in the world.

Once you have installed Alexa a traffic ranking number will appear at the top of your browser on the left side.

One other helpful item you can consider doing if this web site has served you in the past is posting a comment on the Alexa toolbar about the site. You can do this by "double clicking" on the traffic rating in the Alexa window and then clicking on vote and write a review in the next screen that appears. There is one comment already there. There are several comments already there.

You Can Help Change This Medical Nightmare

Folks, I am on a mission and I am hoping you will join me on my mission. The traditional paradigm is contributing to enormous needless grief and suffering in this country, and throughout the world, through cultivation of ignorance of many simple health principles.

How can you help? I recently made this much easier by the email to a friend link that is on all the newer pages. I am convinced that the way we are going to transform the traditional paradigm is by educating the public. We are not going to do it by changing physicians.

What is the most effective way to get people to sign up for the newsletter? Copy one article that really moves you and send it to as many of your closest friends and family as you feel moved to, along with a note encouraging them to sign up so they can learn more about how to stay healthy.

You Can Make A Difference

Very shortly I plan on implementing three incredibly innovative community technologies that will:

Allow you to have all your individual specific health questions answered by natural health experts.

Once these amazing innovations are deployed in the next few months I am hopeful that the site will be the most visited natural medical site and in the top five for all medical/health sites.
