Please provide a link, date, title or author for this citation, I'm having trouble finding it:
" Journal of the American Medical Association concluded that online health information for consumers is frequently flawed, inaccurate, or biased"
Thank you!

Reviewing the sites you suggest will hopefully spur the patient's interest in the care of their health & prepare them for asking their doctor more detailed questions and inquiring about affordable treatments. Here are a few questions to consider asking your doctor: http://whatstherealcost.org/video.php?post=five-questions

Actually Kenny, anyone can go to Pubmed (library for the National Institute of Health) and type in "vaccines autism". They will find over 540 published, peer-reviewed" papers concerning this issue. If they throw out the review papers (most regurgitating the same lies about Dr. Andrew Wakefield), they will find that 4 out of every 5 papers, using original data, raise serious concerns about the autism/vaccine link. By repeating the lies of the medical industry, you are doing the same thing as the websites you condemn.

Dr. Lin is a careful and thorough physician-writer and this is one example of his excellent and timely work on practical and meaningful insight in the otherwise babble of profit-driven medicine. Good work!

Great post! People are never (ever) going to quit looking for answers to their healthcare questions on the Internet. It's important that they know how to tell the good from the bad, but I think even more important that they don't take action on ANY information they glean from a Web search without discussing the findings with their physician.
Even if they locate sound and accurate information on a highly authoritative and accurate site, the typical layperson cannot properly interpret and apply the information. That's why docs go to all those years of schooling -- so we don't have to! I think patients who become empowered by becoming more health literate and engage in their own healthcare are a boon for doctors, but only if they do it in the right way.
What do you think?
