Get To Know Us
The-Health-Gazette.com is a site developed by Drs Peter and Jenny Tylee. We are both health care professionals who actually:
- are passionate about health and wellbeing,
- understand health is not just absence of disease,
- actively promote health,
- love empowering others through health education.
We are committed to health education that provides significant empowerment to individuals who can achieve, regain or extend control of their own health care and management to achieve full enjoyment from life.
We have decades of professional experience in multiple health disciplines, including nursing, psychology and natural medicine. We were also senior academics who spent almost 15 years teaching in Australian universities. We each have several degrees including PhD.
So why this site?
We recently developed Healthy-Vitamin-Choice.com [1] and Herb-Health-Guide.com [2] (go and take a look, new windows will open) and realized that these sites needed to offer newsletters (or ezines) and blogs as additional communications channels.
Since we have a far wider health education agenda and more sites planned, we decided that one central site that managed communications was a sensible way to proceed. To make even more sense we thought it should become a viable site in its own right .
This enables us to provide a wealth of materials and manage our most critical resource most effectively. That resource is, of course, our time.
We acknowledge that many excellent health sites do already exist. There are also many sites claiming to be about health that have no value at all. We had reservations about many of these existing sites which we found suffered from problems such as:
- nameless authors,
- faceless authors,
- only an email contact,
- no broader health understanding,
- no balance in their approach,
- focus on products rather than people,
- confusing site,
- confusing or wrong information,
- no acknowledgement of risks,
- serious lack of safety guidelines,
- and many more shortcomings.
We worry about people learning from or doing business through such web sites. So we decided to provide another one ourselves. Our research and observations indicated a need for broad, balanced, genuinely informative health sites that communicated at a particular level that is largely missing. We intend to fill that gap.
We are real people who don't need to hide anything. And while we believe you can trust us, we encourage you to read our policies page and note the disclaimer.
We have sound, professional level knowledge and experience that spans both orthodox (or regular) and alternative health domains. We are well educated and have a capacity to critically evaluate new developments related to health and wellbeing.
Having been Primary Health Care practitioners and academics we are committed to providing information to empower you to make good health choices and to take responsibility for your own health. We don't claim to be perfect, no one is, so please get in touch if you think we have made an error.
High standards are important to us. You will find that expressed in various ways. For example, in the:
- use of gender inclusive language,
- adoption of web standards,
- willingness to respond to feedback, and
- use of a high quality web hosting service.
So, welcome! We sincerely hope you find something of benefit on our site. Take a good look around and you're bound to.
Wishing best of health to you,
Peter and Jenny
