Amazon terms are that you can't link to Amazon products using images that are not supplied by Amazon. The rest of your website is entirely up to you. You can use any images that you like as long as they do not breach copyright laws.
Your niche is people who are interested in the same thing that you write your posts about (Parkinsons). You need to write posts that help people in your niche. The advertising comes later.
Thank you Marion. So, let me see if I understand you correctly. You can have your own images, with no violation of copyright laws, attached to your website as long as they are not linked to the Amazon. The attached images on the website that are linked to the Amazon have to be from the Amazon image library. It is not necessary that the niche main content be promoting one of the Amazon products. So, I can have website promoting Parkinson’s with images about Parkinson's exercises such as Rock Steady Boxing that are linked to the Rock Steady Boxing website, but not to Amazon? Is there some minimum number of Amazon images that you must have on your website if it is linked to the Amazon Affiliate program? Is all this spelled out in writing somewhere?
Read all the terms and conditions that Amazon have on their website and make sure you comply. There's no minimum or maximum number of images that I am aware of. https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/help/operating/agreement
All other images that you use must be legal for you to use with regard to copyright laws and are not to link to Amazon. If you don't have the copyright owner's permission in writing then don't use the images.
What about if they are free images from ; https://pixabay.com/. Can I attach links to these images to different websites other than Amazon?
If pixabay says that the image is Copyright CC0 (creative commons zero) and free to use even for commercial purposes then you can use the image any way you want.
