Due to changes in policies by the dominant Internet search engine, Google, it has become harder to find information about complementary and alternative approaches to health online. Holistic Primary Care recently ran an article about this that explains it well, How Google is Controlling the Flow of Healthcare Information. What does this mean for you?
