Introduction

  • A major issue for our website is that a large percentage of our subscribers refuse to use anything other than a phone. It is to such a degree that some subscribers have told us that they would rather not use the site and not be subscribers if they can’t use the site with a phone.
  • Regarding technical issues, roughly 80% of subscribers who contact us to resolve them have phone-related problems. As soon as they switch to a computer or tablet, these issues go away.

The Reality of the Limitations of a Phone

The site can be used with a phone, but the experience is not as good. Secondly, many of the articles are long and have embedded videos and other things like tables and graphics that must be enlarged to be viewed on a phone.

By requiring that the site only be used through a phone, greatly limits how we can set up the site, the types of articles we can write, and even the type of navigation we can use for the website.

Why is The Article Not Viewable?

You are seeing this text instead of the article because of two potential reasons.

You can read any article on the site as soon as you sign in.

Reason #2: You Are Not Yet Subscribed to the Site

This is a subscription site. That is how we pay for the research we do. We have to charge subscribers to access articles because, unlike WebMD, Healthline, or the Mayo Clinic, we don't allow pharmaceutical companies to write or edit our articles. 

You can access this and many other articles by becoming a subscriber.
