RockBelly Minerals Health Disclaimer

 

Many of you have already experienced stones’ positive effects on your health and wellbeing. We hope that through our website, you gain more educational information about stones. However, please note that due to legal and time restraints, our staff cannot provide you with personal health advice.

 

Website users are invited to discuss health-related topics in the public and private forums, bulletin boards, or blog posts and to provide their own insights and experiences. However, the comments of website users are subjective and do not represent RockBelly Minerals. No forum post or website comment should be considered health advice. You are responsible for consulting a medical professional before trying any new stone or remedy mentioned in the website or any related forum.

Although we try our utmost to provide useful and accurate information, you are responsible to research and verify information before relying on it.

The information we provide is not intended to be a substitute for medical treatment. Please consult your medical care provider before using stone medicine, particularly if you have a known medical condition or if you are pregnant or nursing.

 

You are responsible for your own health. As with conventional medicine, stone medicine is vast and complex, and must be used responsibly. People react differently to different remedies. Some stones are contraindicated with certain pharmaceutical drugs or conditions. Further, some helpful stones may be confused with harmful and/or deadly substances.

 

You are responsible for your own choices. This includes but is not limited to the ingestion, application, or other use of alcohol or any poisonous, toxic, or allergenic substance. In the event that you are not of legal age to consume alcohol, RockBelly recommends that you refrain from the purchase, consumption, or use of alcohol. If you elect to disregard such recommendation, you do so at your own risk, and RockBelly accepts no liability relating to or arising from your activities. 

 

RockBelly cannot predict how a stone will work for you. Always refer to your medical care provider for questions about your health.
