THE RED FLAGS WEB SITE IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR MEDICAL ADVICE - The contents of the Red Flags web site are for informational purposes only. Red Flags does not give medical advice and is not intended as a substitute for the advice provided by your healthcare provider or any information contained on or in any product label or packaging. You should always speak with your healthcare provider before adopting any treatment for a health problem.

The Mission of Red Flags is to probe health and medical scientific issues in a manner that one rarely encounters in mainstream news reports. Corporate bottom lines and inadequate training in specialty journalism often provide the reading, viewing and listening public with narrow and simplistic information. Press-release journalism in medicine, for example, a process that often involves aggressive PR firms in the service of powerful corporations, hospitals and medical journals, typically rules the roost. It is the path of least resistance.

The "dumb it down" gang is all too often in control.

There also is a high degree of news censorship of those views that challenge the established scientific theories. Some scientists even discourage debates about important issues that affect many lives.

RF will also feature columns and stories that encourage personal growth.

RF will raise "red flags" or issues that require public attention and debate.

“Journalists should be thinking people who raise questions. They should not have financial ties or set up close relationships with the people they cover. Journalism is going the wrong way, especially in the field of science and medicine. There are too many believer journalists and too much self-censorship on the part of journalists who are frightened of offending the people they cover.” Also Read: THE DEATH OF MEDICINE and HYPOCRISY OATH - The Great Divide Between Principal And Practice In Modern Medicine
