Resources

The Internet can be a wonderful source of Health and Wellness Information. However, just because something is printed on the Internet doesn't necessarily mean it's true. Unfortunately there are many sites present which contain less than reliable information.

Here are some guidelines for finding - dependable, accurate health information on the Internet:

• Beware of websites that offer a cure-all or quick fix, if something sounds too good to be true it probably isn't.
• Use caution with websites that try to sell you something.
• Use caution with recommendations that are not based on scientific studies.
• Look at different sites and try to seek a consensus of opinion.
• Look at the source of the information and try to stick to those that come from a government agency, a university, or a health professional organization.
