Welcome! Stay for a while...
Pharmaceuticals Anonymous has a wealth of resources, and it's fun, too. We offer uncommon sense and sanity on nutrition for general health and the brain. We ask questions, draw answers from diverse sources of information in scientific and media reports, and look closely at the health industry. We help where we can, and when things look really dark, we tell a joke. Search this site and you will find nutritional self-help, diagnostic tools, health and Pharma news, mainstream and alternative health facts - as links to webpages, PDF downloads, and streaming and downloadable video. We are proud to be listed as a Mental Health resource at Bryn Mawr College's Serendip site. Information found on this site is meant for educational and informational purposes only, and to motivate you to make your own heath care and dietary decisions based on your own research and in partnership with your health care provider.
