Final Notes
If any of the linked sites on this page offer something
for
sale, its inclusion in this list is not necessarily an endorsement for
the product(s).
Also, I do not necessarily endorse
(or oppose) particular religious faiths that might be subtly or
not-so-subtly mentioned on any of the sites listed above. While it is
true
that I have strong religious beliefs myself, and that I would also
encourage
people to seek the truth and know where they stand (good advice for
any issue or field of study, not just religion), my
intent
with the Memory Page is to try to remain neutral, try to confine the
discussion to memory improvement, and simply to list here general
memory
improvement resources that people may or may not find useful.
