One of the great things about the internet and email is that there’s an endless supply of current heath news sources. However, not everything that you read in an email or see on the internet is reliable, so check your sources carefully.

Having constant access to new information and current health news is an exciting part of modern life.  But recently there have been a number of email hoaxes and internet scams that have resulted in a more cautious public when it comes to finding out the latest in health bulletins.  Your best bet when searching for medical information online is a website that does not attempt to sell anything and does not require a paid membership to view the contents.

Emails are still the number one source for medical misinformation.  A rather disturbing email hoax that made the rounds recently told people that they were getting a virus from boxes mailed from a specific company.  The company received endless calls asking about the “virus” and there were a number of people that not only called but asked where their boxes were,Current Health News Sources Need To Be Reliable Articles stating that they were clients of the company and willing to risk the imaginary virus in order to get the nonexistent box.

Another unreliable source for current health news is any internet site that sells a product that is supposed to cure whatever terrible disease that the same site is stating is an epidemic.  First the scam artists discuss in urgent tones a life threatening illness and then they claim that best cure is the medicine or equipment they are selling. Any medical information site that tries to scare you into buying something is not a good source of information.

Some sites actually ask for money before they give you answers. Membership fees, answer fees, or access fees are all names for basically charging you for information that should be publicly available to all.  Most medical information is available via search engines but it can be a bit laborious slogging through all the search engine results.  It’s great to have one site that you can do a search on for a specific topic or just review current health news, but not if the purpose of the site is to make money off of you.  There are several high quality websites that you can access that provide excellent medical information and news without charging you. 

Be sure and be cautious when looking for up to date medical news and information.  Find a reliable website that does not charge you, and make sure that you take all email notifications with more than a grain of salt.
