Update: 5 Jan 13 -- The new "HEALTH: Daily Information Accumulator (#2) is now online and picks up from today's date. Older entries will be added to #2 as time permits, working backwards, till it links up to where this article left off. Also, new links will be added to that new accumulator to try to keep it current for you. Thanks for your patience.
Dear Readers,
I know this to be a very popular page. I apologize for continually pulling it off-line and out of your view. Frankly, I have come up against some severe technical limitations, in the nature of this blogging platform, to produce articles of this type. Clearly, this type of article requires a database management program. (The annoying tendencies of the blogging program to inject random line-spacing, or mess with text-size and fonts, are just a few maddening cases-in-point -- I must be doing something wrong -- Google's too good to be at fault)
Because I have been embarrassed by the awkward, unprofessional look (and the risk of confusing you), I have repeatedly withdrawn it -- to fix it -- at enormous and frustrating time costs. I have a plan to make it more presentable, but it is just going to have to await its turn. There are other crucial things that simply must be done first, for the greater public good.
However, the information is still good -- and I cannot, in good conscience, continue withholding it from you -- simply because it looks so bad. I will make everything right, as soon as I can build a better system for presenting this material to you -- and for keeping it closely updated.
This entire blog is all a work in progress -- it is still new (less than a year old) and is constantly redefining itself . Consider everything to be in a "rough draft" stage. Smooth drafting is coming -- all will be made right, whenever waiting has been filled.
Meanwhile, thank you for your patience and understanding.

INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
1. To provide, all in one convenient place, a simple running link-list for WebMD newsletters received from sources, such as WebMD email subscription (featured in the accumulation, below). PLEASE SEE DISCLAIMERS AT BOTTOM.
RATIONALE
2. The idea is, simply, to help ease human suffering by spreading useful general health information.
3. The WebMD articles (with links), BELOW, are listed in reverse date-order, with the most recent being placed at the top of the list -- "pushing down" earlier ones.
4. The MASTER date of "this entire accumulator-page" will be manipulated, in order to keep this reference-page conveniently "near the top" of the blog's bulletin-board-metaphor (primitive, but effective).
5. ALPHABETIZATION
5. ALPHABETIZATION
To make this page more convenient to use, EACH NEW ENTRY will first sit in the "What's New" section for about a time, so that regular readers can see, without having to search the entire accumulated mass. Entries, more than about a week old (if possible), are moved into the alphabetical categories (encyclopedia-style), further below, but are still date-ordered within those categories.
Please see disclaimers at the bottom of this article.

THE DAILY ARTICLES
What's NewArticles newer than June 25 are grouped by week. Older articles are grouped under alphabetical categories. The backlog of newer articles will be added below, ASAP. This is growing so unwieldy -- and formatting is a nightmare. Still need to migrate all this to a database program.
