-Thank you for visiting Health-Stories!

When you visit Health-stories.org, we sincerely hope that you find the reading of our health stories, articles and fitness information, to be both an enjoyable, and a learning experience as well.

Advertising Disclosure Statement

Health-stories.org is an informational website provided as a service to its readers. All of the content for Health-stories.org is written without any compensation. These articles are not written for the sole purpose of receiving payment, although appropriate contextual affiliate links may be added to their content if there is added value to the reader.

-Any of the products found as a result of “clicking a link”, can also be purchased if you go directly to the merchant's web site, and you will pay the same price, but Health-stories.org will then not be credited with the sale or receive compensation of any kind.

If you go to that same merchant on successive visits using the clickable links or banner ads from the Health-stories.org website (rather than direct to merchant) however, we will then make a small commission.

-This is how our visitors show us their support!

We greatly appreciate your loyalty and support as we continue to bring you new health stories and articles as well as fitness information that we hope you’ll enjoy as you browse the pages at Health-stories.org

-We welcome suggestions and comments – contact us

-Affiliate or "Pay-Per-Click" Advertising. Health-stories.org may receive a small commission when you click an affiliate link, or follow a link or banner ad and then purchase a product from that merchant.

These commissions help defray the operating costs of this website so we can continue to provide information free-of-charge to our visitors!

We currently participate in the following affiliate or pay-per-click programs (Live links are Health-stories.org affiliate links):

-Food Matters Videos on nutrition in relation to many diseases.

-Menu Planning Central (The "Menu mom" Free Menu Planning report, etc.)

-American greetings (paper holiday cards and e-cards)

-Roadrunner sports (running shoes and clothes)

-Amazon.com (books, etc.)

-Endless (shoes and clothing)

-Google AdSense – underlined ad-blocks marked "Ads by Google"

-Kontera - Contextual link ads - Clearly marked "Kontera" these are double underlined words/word-groups that show an ad when a visitor passes their mouse over it.

-Infolink - Similar to above, clearly marked "Infolink" when hovered over shows ads of contextual interest. A "click" on the ad link in any of these will earn a small commission and take the reader to the site of interest.

-Clickbank - Affiliate links for ebooks and/or products

-Chirunning – Banner ads and links for ebooks and/or products

-Site Build It – "Powered by Site Build It" footer.

-Site Build It was used to build Health-stories.org and is used to update and maintain it, the only website building/hosting we would ever even consider using now. (have used others in the past)
