Excellent One-stop Health related site

Came across an excellent Health related website - U.S based - which is a must bookmark/reference site called 'MediLine Plus'.
"MedlinePlus will direct you to information to help answer health questions. MedlinePlus brings together authoritative information from NLM, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and other government agencies and health-related organizations. Preformulated MEDLINE searches are included in MedlinePlus and give easy access to medical journal articles. MedlinePlus also has extensive information about drugs, an illustrated medical encyclopedia, interactive patient tutorials, and latest health news." - from website


I found the 'Interactive Health Tutorial' section that addresses almost all types of diseases, their symptoms, causes, cures etc very useful and most importantly, very simple for layman like us. 
"The tutorials listed below are interactive health education resources from the Patient Education Institute. Using animated graphics each tutorial explains a procedure or condition in easy-to-read language. You can also listen to the tutorial." - from web site
This should be purely used for education/ reference purpose and is no substitue for a visit to a Doctor. Sharing for all my friends. Check it out.
