Note: The information on this website is not a substitute for diagnosis and treatment by a qualified, licensed professional. Some of the information in the links below, may not be what you are use to hearing. I figured since you hear the other information enough, we'd concentrate on the information you may have not heard. Remember: Don't take anything as truth, but rather educate yourself on BOTH sides of the issue, so you can make an informed decision. As GI Joe used to say, "Knowing is half the battle."
