A critical look at CAM on the Internet

JR

Several years ago I was asked to lecture on evaluating the reliability and usefulness of medical information on the Web. During this meeting of the American Medical Writers Association (AMWA) in New York City, I listed three guidelines plus an additional one for CAM.

  • Recognize bias
  • Discount jargon
  • Don’t be influenced by hearsay
  • Consider CAM on its own terms

The article based on this lecture is listed here.
