Searching the Web for Health? Be Very, Very, Afraid

In an article published on BreakThroughDigest.com, health advocate Gary Bryant outlines a number of steps consumers need to take before acting on any medical information they might find on the Internet.

The article "Evaluating Health Information on the Web" asks consumers to consider a number of questions before getting too excited about some of the medical information they might find.

"When you've been told that you have a serious illness, sometimes common sense goes out the window, and the advice you find yourself following may cause more harm than good; and at best, it can waste a lot of precious time." Says Bryant, "The bottom line to online medical research is this: be skeptical, consider the source, and discuss your findings with your doctor."

Gary Bryant is the founder and executive producer of the award winning BreakThrough Digest. He is also the author of Searching the Web for Health, a Guide to Reliable Medical Information on the Internet (ISBN 0-595-30343-9). Mr. Bryant is a member of New York Academy of Science and serves as a consultant to health-related businesses and community organizations with regard to Web initiatives.

BreakThrough Digest was launched to help consumers and health practitioners sort through the mountain of health and medical information available on the Internet -- specifically breaking medical news. Since its launch in May of 2003, Breakthrough Digest has received more than four million visitors. Like traditional private clipping services, BreakThrough Digest includes relevant health information and when possible, always directly from the originating source or its authorized agency. Only actionable stories are made available on the BreakThrough Digest web site. The Digest is also available as a free weekly e-mail newsletter.
