| 3.0 | The Health Network | |
| A site filled with articles that address
various health issues such as new health remedies, health legislation and medical tips.
Health Network.com is sponsored by Health Network Television, so it also lists health
related TV programs that you can tune into. But the best and most unique feature on this
site is the self-diagnosis tool. You can choose from a long list of symptoms
and this tool tells you at what degree a symptom requires immediate medical attention and
at what degree a symptom can be taken care of at home as well as how to do so. This is but one of
the many tools that Health Network offers to site visitors. www.ahn.com |
