Warnings
Why is there a Prop 65 warning on my package?

In the State of California there exists what is referred to as "Proposition 65". Proposition 65 is the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986. Any company that operates in California, sells products in California, or manufactures products that may be sold in or brought into California is subject to Proposition 65. Since our products are sold in California, Proposition 65 applies to us.

Proposition 65 requires warning labels on any product that may contain any of 600-plus elements that the California Air Resources Board considers a carcinogen or a reproductive toxicant. These elements include lead, brass, PVC and a multitude of other everyday elements. There are penalties for not complying with Proposition 65. Failure to label products can result in a civil penalty of $2500 per day. The state of California allows private individuals to act as bounty hunters to seek products not having appropriate warning labels. These bounty hunters receive a percentage of whatever fine is imposed on the violator. The violator of Proposition 65 could be the manufacturer, distributor or retailer of the offending product.

A company can be served with a Proposition 65 violation even if they do not do business in California themselves. If their product is sold or is purchased outside the Sate of California and brought into California, the company may still be found in violation. The label by no means indicates that our products will cause you to contract cancer or reproductive harm. Used properly you will receive no harm from our products. For more information about Proposition 65 visit the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment.

For a list of elements listed under Proposition 65 visit: http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65/prop65_list/Newlist.html

Emails and E-letters
What is “white-listing”?
Disreputable retailers have created a problem for honest online businesses by sending unsolicited, unwanted advertising e-mails, commonly known as "spam.” It's reached such proportions that most e-mail services and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have put some sort of blocking or filtering system in place or begun relying on self-proclaimed blacklists to tell the good guys from the bad.

At DrWhitaker.com, we applaud their intention to protect you from spam. But everyone agrees that the current systems for stopping spam are far from a perfect solution. They often mistakenly block e-mail that you've requested. The more responsible anti-spam activists are working hard to cut down on these "false positives." In the meantime, you might unexpectedly find your reputable Dr. Whitaker E-Letters and offers are being mistakenly blocked.

As it happens, there's something you can do to keep your Dr. Whitaker emails from falling into the false positive trap. Through a simple process known as white-listing you can flag your Dr. Whitaker emails and offers so that they are never at the risk of being blocked (a.k.a blacklisted).

How do I “white-list” drwhitaker.com?
Every e-mail system is different. Below are instructions for some of the more popular ones. If your ISP isn't here, please contact their customer service representatives for instructions. (Please also forward the answer to us, and we might add it here.)

One vital thing you can do that helps no matter what e-mail system you're using is this: add the address in the "From" line of your most recent Dr. Whitaker email to your address book.

To find instructions for your e-mail provider or software click on the appropriate option below:

Gmail
Yahoo
Hotmail
AOL
Outlook
Outlook Express
Eudora
Netscape Mail
Others

Gmail
To ensure that your Dr. Whitaker emails are delivered to your Gmail inbox, you can instruct Gmail to filter it to your inbox. Here's how:

• Go to your Gmail account.
• Click on "create filter" located at the top center of the page in small print.
• In the section under create a filter called "Choose Search Criteria" add the from line.
• Click "next step."
• Select where you want the email to go.
• Click "create filter."

Thank you for white-listing Dr. Whitaker emails.

• Open your Yahoo mailbox.
• Click Mail Options.
• Click Filters.
• Next, click Add Filter.
• In the top row, labeled From header:, make sure contains is selected in the pull-down menu.
• Click in the text box next to that pull-down menu, then enter the address in the "From" line of your most recent Dr. Whitaker email.
• At the bottom, where it says "Move the message to:", select Inbox from the pull-down menu.
• Click the Add Filter button again.

Thank you for white-listing Dr. Whitaker emails.

Hotmail 
If you are using Hotmail, you can ensure that your Dr. Whitaker emails are delivered to your Inbox by adding our "From" address to your Safe List. Here's how:

• Select Safe List. (It's under the heading Mail Handling.)
• In the space provided, enter the address in the "From" line of your most recent Dr. Whitaker email. Click Add.
• When you see the address you entered in the Safe List box, click OK.

Thank you for white-listing Dr. Whitaker emails.

AOL 
If you're using AOL, you can ensure that your Dr. Whitaker emails are delivered to your Inbox by setting your Mail Controls. Here's how:

• Go to Keyword Mail Controls.
• Select the screen name we're sending your Dr. Whitaker emails to.
• Click Customize Mail Controls For This Screen Name.
• For AOL version 7.0: In the section for "exclusion and inclusion parameters," include both of these domains:
  • @julianwhitakermail.com
  • @phillipshealth.com
• For AOL version 8.0: Select Allow email from all AOL members, email addresses and domains.
• Click Next until the Save button shows up at the bottom.
• Click Save.

Thank you for white-listing Dr. Whitaker emails.

Others 
Many popular e-mail programs, including Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, and Netscape Mail, don't provide a convenient way for you to white-list the folks you want to receive e-mail from. If you're using this sort of e-mail system and you either aren't getting your Dr. Whitaker emails or want to make sure you continue to receive your Dr. Whitaker emails in the future, you can do something about it.

Contact the customer service representatives or the Postmaster at the company that provides your e-mail or Internet connection (your ISP). Explain to them that the Dr. Whitaker e-mails are ones that you asked for and value. Ask them if they can white-list drwhitaker.com. They'll probably ask you for some information about us. Here's what to tell them:

• Sending Address: If they ask for our address, give them the address in the "From" line of your most recent Dr. Whitaker email.
• Domain: If they need to know the domain we're mailing from, tell them both of these:
  • @julianwhitakermail.com
  • @phillipshealth.com

Thank you for white-listing Dr. Whitaker emails.

SECURE SOCKETS LAYER (SSL) TECHNOLOGY 
drwhitaker.com uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to provide you with the safest, most secure shopping experience possible. SSL is the most widely used data encryption coding system for secure e-commerce transactions. All of the checkout pages on our site are secured with SSL technology, which means your credit card number is always encrypted (scrambled) before it is sent or received over the Internet.

STORING INFORMATION BEHIND SERVER FIREWALLS

HOW TO TELL YOUR TRANSACTIONS ARE SECURE 
Pay special attention to the site address on any page where you're asked to type in confidential information. The address of that page should begin with https, and not just http (without the “s”). The “s” signifies that the page you're on is “secure”, and using tools designed to transfer encrypted information over the World Wide Web.

GUARANTEE AGAINST CREDIT CARD FRAUD 
Even though your account information is safe as it travels across the Internet, what happens if your credit card is lost or stolen, or if you are a victim of fraud? Good news: Under consumer protection laws, your liability is limited to $50 in cases of fraudulent charges to your credit card account. (You must notify your credit card company as outlined in your credit card agreement for this protection.)

Why is there a Prop 65 warning on my package?

In the State of California there exists what is referred to as "Proposition 65". Proposition 65 is the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986.

Since our products are sold in California, Proposition 65 applies to us.

The state of California allows private individuals to act as bounty hunters to seek products not having appropriate warning labels. These bounty hunters receive a percentage of whatever fine is imposed on the violator. The violator of Proposition 65 could be the manufacturer, distributor or retailer of the offending product.

A company can be served with a Proposition 65 violation even if they do not do business in California themselves. If their product is sold or is purchased outside the Sate of California and brought into California, the company may still be found in violation. The label by no means indicates that our products will cause you to contract cancer or reproductive harm. Used properly you will receive no harm from our products.
