Validity Of Information

Contact information should be listed somewhere on the website. This shows that the organization has nothing to hide and can easily be located, something which malicious or un-trustworthy websites may not have.

I NEVER give personal information to any website and if they are asking for it, I don't trust it.

Before I decide to trust a website or an organization, I research them. You can perform a simple name search on the Better Business Bureau's website to check out consumer complaints and to verify the organization's information. Also check out to RipOffReport.com and search for the organization; read about positive or negative experiences from users concerning the website of an organization of which you're unsure.

Go with your gut... my instincts have never let me down :-)

I would recommend a couple of different tactics when evaluating information on the internet:
- validate information from multiple sources
- check with your physician and medical team with important information before taking action
- be critical in analyzing who published the information and whether it is a reputable organization (commercial, non-profit, government, etc.)
- be careful with information that sounds too good to be true, make sure to check with your medical team
- do your best to understand the information as opposed to memorizing facts
- remember that everyone is different, and information that might apply to one person, might not apply to others. I would recommend a couple of different tactics when evaluating information on the internet:
