I don't see a site that is well known to me, or it appears that it was just "blogged", I usually do not trust it. However, if it is a medical site I will generally go with that. Sorry I couldn't have helped more.

I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google
Subject: I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google

Google is great for retrieving anything faster than the speed of light *lol* - but if the info comes from a nonverifiable medical website, be very wary.  There are a few I trust only...the NIH for one (Nat'l Institute of Health) and the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and a few others out of the government actually.


As for prescription places, I trusted rx.com for far too long, there are many more reliable drug websites out there... medilexicon.com is a great site and to confirm a proper name of a disease or things like that, there is whonamedit.com which, if you write to the site owner, can be added to (I have done some communication with the site owner so this is 100% true). 


When I first started using google in MT work about 8 years ago as google is not that old, (got online 12 years ago, been an MT since 1980), I had looked up Spironolactone, and Google gave the spelling to me incorrectly and (who knew it was wrong?!?!??) I used their spelling and I was wrong. 


So, only advice is be VERY CAREFUL what YOU CHOOSE to use as far as websites go regarding MT/ME work because in the end you're the one responsible....not google.

Although this regards prostate cancer (not applicable to a female patient) I think this is the info you're looking for. Quote: Once the host recognizes the antigenic material implanted, it is hoped that the circulating humoral immunologic cells would then attack the host's recurrent Prostate Cancer cells. This technique has been successful in other types of tumors. Our site is one of a front line of sites to study the Vaccine in the treatment of Prostate Cancer.
