The Top 3 Health and Medical Sites
If you think that you’re coming down with some irritating, difficult to describe malaise, there will seemingly be no shortage of family members, friends or acquaintances willing to give you their opinion and to suggest a snap remedy for you. While they are well-meaning, you don’t think that they’re particularly qualified, but then neither are you when it comes to diagnosing your condition. When you also consider the cost of healthcare and doctor visits these days, it is no wonder that we are turning to online health-related information portals and search engines to help us get a handle on what ails us. For the sniffling entrepreneur, here are our top three picks for health and medical sites:
1. Web MD
This is the most highly trafficked site of its kind on the Internet by far and with good reason. It is a well-organized, authoritative, documented and comprehensive site and certainly the best, in our opinion. This was one of the first sites to realize the thirst for health-related information on the Internet and it does a good job of linking together professionals, medical insurers, patients and support organizations. As this industry is so dynamic, Web MD seeks to keep its finger on the pulse for you by providing the latest news and news alerts as they happen, giving you a breakdown of what it actually means. Web MD makes you feel better already!
2. Daily Strength
Let’s face it, if you are unfortunate enough to be diagnosed with something fairly serious you need all the help that you can get, both in terms of medical care and strong emotional support. Daily Strength gives you the opportunity to interact with people who are facing the very same problem that you are. Through hundreds of support groups covering a variety of different illnesses, you never need to feel as if you are alone, even if you don’t have too many close family members or friends around you. Help, support and encouragement is freely available and there are discussion and advice boards to help you get the answers to those many questions. Whilst the site may not offer the answer to as many technical questions as others, such as Web MD, it does offer you support from the sharp end.
3. Right Health
This is a comprehensive site, rich in features and is very user friendly. It has quite a powerful search engine which is well optimized and engineered and they have clearly put a lot of effort into integrating resources and providing levels of education covering the spectrum of illness and disease. Some of the information is indeed comprehensive and you may have to register with certain third party providers to access full documentation, but you are able to pick up valuable education in layman’s terms, without getting lost in a sea of technical jargon. User-friendly and comprehensive.
So what do you think about our top three picks? Do you have any favorite sites of your own? Get in touch with us and let us know what your thoughts.

Once again, nice list. Keep up those top 3’s coming!
Thanks for the info. But I hope very much that I do not have to use the services of these sites
hey all i’m in 1st year medicine and i want to ook up some medical sites that might have some random information or facts about anything medicine related. i remember a girl telling me about a certain site but i cant remember what it is.
I want you to tell me some trusted and wellknown medical sites that I can search almost anything especially men’s health and some other sites that I’m able to ask a medical question then I can get my answer from a doctor.
i think stress could lead to misscarriage. it doesnt run in my family but my friends family yea.. just dont stress out and you’ll be fine.. but miscarriage sometimes is uncontrolable.. theres nothing you can do.
Stress has long been suspected as a possible cause of miscarriage, with several studies indicating an increased risk among women reporting high levels of emotional or physical turmoil in their early months of pregnancy or just before conception.
i am not into health niche yet but i am very health conscious. I go to gym and strictly follow my diet.
I liked the post and also those many comments from “Florida eye care” written above
Yes, certainly stress can contribute to a myriad of health problems including miscarriage. The miscarriage can also result from a number of other factors that contribute, for example high blood pressure. Stress can lead to the elevated BP, and then a miscarriage results, so even though stress wasn’t the reason, it was a contributing factor.
Back on topic, these three sites are very good. I also like emedicine for more technical medical aspects.
The Preventitive Route is definitely the way to go and the more informed you are about what you eat, how you take care of your body the better off you will be. Of course somethings are hereditary but I believe there is a “natural” treatment for most cases. I have found a great healthy drink that I think everyone should be aware of because of its healthy capacities. Lowers cholesterol, helps maintain a healthy immune system, helps to maintain a healthy metabolism, helps with inflammation and on and on. Take a look for yourself - http://bit.ly/MYWRG
My brother is very sick right now & I’ve ordered it for him and will be certainly be posting any changes to his health!
Thanks

My wife is expecting a baby, I am a kind of a person who is always online and always eating junk food but while I took her to hospital for tests, I met people who had a lot of problems, mostly coz of diet issues, so I planned to change my food. Like Custom Term Paper above, I think I also should join gym before its too late.
Besides, your post is good, I have visited Right Health before, its fantastic, Health Care is indeed an issue our government has to work on.
I will try to read the rest of your posts,
have a great day ahead.
