I am writing a book (actually a booklet) on natural supplements and how they correct health problems.
It is very basic and general. The information I am using is stuff I have accumulated through the years and said by many alternative doctors and things I found on the internet and books I have read.
I am putting researched and compiled by Linda Kennedy
Rather than putting written by even though I am writing the first few pages.

I am putting my list of references as a first page.

Do I have to use footnotes or is the first page references good enough?

Do I have to put a specific source if I do an outline form and not copying sentences?
(all the doctors and sites say these things)
For example

Co Q 10 is essential for
Cellular energy
Heart
Brain function
Rebuild energy statins deplete
Antioxident

Well, for academic work, footnotes are usually required to show ideas gleaned from a particular author. Some professors use them to make sure that students have indeed done some research rather than make up the subject matter.

For a commercial project (I'm assuming that you are planning to get some commercial gain from the project) you have intellectual property issues. These are less concerned with the form and format, but they are concerned with proper permission, payment, and proper credit. If you lift material from a copyrighted source, you need permission from the copyright holder to use it. In the permission, they may specify what form of acknowledgement they expect. They may require payment as a condition of the permission. They may say that they think what you are doing is a good and noble task and you can use any of their material in any way you wish without payment - whatever the agreement is, get it in writing.

Anything that you get from multiple sources which could be deemed to be common knowledge or in the public domain, you don't need permission to use, but be prepared to demonstrate why you feel that it is.

On the specific issue of "how natural supplements correct health problems", I recommend being very careful with your caveats and your claims. You are talking about a controversial issue and big guys like the AMA and the FDA may take exception to claims that you print. How you say it can be important. Consider the following two examples.

If you print, "My research has clearly demonstrated that Scotch is an effective treatment for cancer." -- problem time.

However, if you print, "Multiple sources have indicated that Scotch is an effective treatment for cancer." -- that's reporting, not claiming, thus it's OK; but be ready to point to the sources.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

I do have a disclaimer page that explains that these things basically work and you need to study your particular problems and get a doctors and alternative doctors advise.

I have that cancer can not live in an oxygenated, PH balanced environment if they do corrective things like eliminating wrong foods,.

Many people try this or that alternative for cancer, but need to do a full spectrum of things for it to be effective.
Then I list the various things for cancer
And explain they need to keep up with doctors visits to keep their cancer in check. If their cancer is advanced or alternatives have not improved it they need to go with the conventional and they can do a combination with both the conventional dr and alternative doctors.

I am trying to do a lot of outline stuff
But I do have some pages from websites with the website listed at the top.

I am only going to charge about 10 or 20 cents per page to cover the paper and printing.
