Hello Kate,

You will find links to learner-made health materials and learners own 
stories about their health and about health and treatment practices in 
their countries at:

	http://alri.org/esquare/health/health.htm

I recommend:

	How to Feel Good: Learning to Relax and Exercise, An Invitation
	http://www.alri.org/feelgood/feelgood.html

	My Life Story With Cancer
	http://www.worlded.org/us/health/docs/Mary/introduction.html

	Read / Write / Now Brochures
	http://www.sabes.org/health/brochure.htm

among others.
