Clarification about Health/Medical Information in this Guide
St. Edward’s University guides each student in becoming a total person. As a Catholic university, we understand this formative process through the prism of four components: church teachings, sacred scripture, secular disciplines and human experience. While information provided in the Students’ Self-Care Guide addresses a wide range of physical and medical aspects of a healthy life, it does not sufficiently address the moral and spiritual dimensions that are important in making some health decisions. St. Edward’s expects students of all religious backgrounds to utilize their critical thinking and moral reasoning skills and to confer with Student Health Center staff, a counselor, priest, pastor, rabbi or other trusted person to address health or medical issues with social, moral and spiritual dimensions.
Note: This book is not meant to substitute for expert medical advice or treatment. The information is given to help you make informed choices about your health. Follow your health care provider’s advice if it differs from what is given in this book.
Understand that many of the designations used by manufacturers and sellers to distinguish their products are claimed as trademarks. Where those designations appear in this book and the American Institute for Preventive Medicine was aware of a trademark claim, the designations have been printed in capital letters (e.g., Tylenol).
This guide is one of a series of publications, programs, and online products, developed by the American Institute for Preventive Medicine, designed to help individuals reduce health care costs and improve the quality of their lives. We publish a companion student mental health self-care guide called Minding Your Mental Health. We also provide many wellness and disease management publications and programs.
