Important Disclaimers
The resources in this listing were compiled by The Carousel Network in an effort to document those health care and other professionals in the community who have an understanding of chronic neuroimmune diseases such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, multiple chemical sensitivities, etc. The health care providers on this list were recommended for the listing by patients and clients.

Neither The Carousel Network nor its board of directors make any guarantees or warranties about any of the individuals or agencies listed herein.

Some practitioners must limit their practice from time to time, due to patient loads, etc. Some health care providers do not accept Medicare and/or Medi-Cal. This has been noted in the following entries when this information is known. If you cannot afford to self-pay and have no other insurance, ask if the provider accepts the coverage you have (Medicare, Medi-Cal, CSMP) before you make an appointment. Doctors that we know for sure don't take any Medicare or Medi-Cal will be noted with "No M/M".

If you have information on other providers of services who would be useful to include in this directory or if you have updated information for these providers, please send the information (name, address, telephone number, type of provider, any specific areas of knowledge or service) to resourcedirectory@cndinfo.net.
