The Internet is consulted by millions of people in search of for unbiased health information on a regular basis. In 1995, a Pew Center survey found that 95 million Americans went to the WWW with health related queries, and the number has certainly risen in the past 15 years. Sadly, many of the pages they retrieve are selling products or procedures. Government web sites. while often useful, are often constrained by arcane regulations.
We are attempting to provide as unbiased information as possible. We do not accept any PhRMA monies, nor represent any society or organization. We have nothing to sell. The site is run by a dermatologist, David Elpern, whose name is writ in water. If you have specific questions and have found this website helpful, please feel free to contact me. DJE. (August 2010)
