September 2, 2009 · Filed Under Medical Textbook  · Tags: , ,

Taken from Introduction: With so many sources of health information at your fingertips — many of them online - it can be tough to tell fact from fiction, or useful health products and services from those that don’t work or aren’t safe.

The FTC has created this booklet to help you find reliable sources of information on health topics important to you, whether you’re an older consumer or a family member, caregiver, or friend. You can:

  • find links to agencies and organizations that care about topics like generic drugs, hormone therapy, caregiving, surgery to improve vision, alternative medicine, hearing aids, Medicare fraud, and medical ID theft
  • z learn how to spot misleading and deceptive claims; and
  • find out who you can contact to ask questions, enlist help, or speak up if you think a health product or service isn’t living up to its promises.

Just remember: Among the best sources of health information is someone you can meet face-to-face. Talk about all of your health-related decisions with your doctors and other trusted health care providers.
