Purpose of this Site (Continued)

More than 120 keywords allow rapid listing of related articles. Each article has been graded for content by a health professional. Other icons indicate the intended target audience (professionals, kids, teens or all), and whether the originator of the site is a professional, an organisation or a commercial concern. Clicking on the appropriate icon links one directly to the assessed page.

We do not endorse any products found on these pages but to be as complete as possible we encompass all. For the same reason we list all companies involved in allergy. Companies do not pay to be listed and we do not endorse any particular product.

 

CEO & Editor and Designer

Dr Harris Steinman has been involved in clinical allergy and research in South Africa for many years. He lectures to health professionals and the public and consults to various bodies on allergy informatics. He is a member of the Allergy Society of South Africa's Working Group on Childhood Asthma. He is also the designer of popular and respected electronic documents, which include the Allergy Society

of South Africa's Web site and the Laboratory Specialities allergen database.

Using his extensive allergy knowledge and his medical communication skills, he has put together this new, comprehensive site with both health professionals and the general public in mind.

Editorial Policy

There is no advisory board. This is simply because we feel that AllAllergy.Net should not be dictating to visitors what articles should be read or not. Some web sites contain information that should be read with great circumspection but visitors will find these sites in any event, and that site may be the only one they visit. By including these articles in our listings their deficiencies will be self evident to readers.

 

Advertising Policy & Funding Sources

In order to provide an unbiased health information service, All Allergy maintains strict editorial independence. All editorial content is arrived at without reference to any advertising on the site, current or potential. We endorse no products or services whatsoever. No advertisers or other third party sponsors may participate in the composition, selection, or alteration of editorial content.

All advertisements and other sponsor-related material are separate and clearly identifiable, and advertisers and other sponsors are solely responsible for the content. "Advertorials," or articles with the sole purpose of promoting a product or service, may be reached by links from the site, but All Allergy has no responsibility for the content.

We do not, however, accept any advertising or allow any links to material that is itself false or misleading or touts ineffective,
dangerous, prohibited or obscene products, including firearms, alcohol, tobacco, and pornography.

Privacy Policy

We give no access to information that would allow a third party to identify an individual's medical condition or other personal circumstances.

All Allergy occasionally shares with sponsors and advertisers aggregate statistical information based on site traffic. This information is entirely anonymous and merely allows relevant sponsored material to be placed on relevant sections of the site. We do not tout advertising space based on information gathered.
