The Arthritis Newsletter
Spring 2011Favourite Websites
The Internet is a great source for arthritis education; however, the quality of arthritis information on the Internet varies widely. Although there are thousands of websites purporting to give reliable information about arthritis, you must beware of those that promote unusual treatments for which the main evidence is found in anecdotal testimonials. Always consult with your doctor regarding any suggested or recommended treatments.
As active consumers of health information, CAB members wish to share their favourite websites with you. Below you will find a few of the websites used by the members to find reliable, informative information. Use these links as a resource to help you find information and support, and bookmark this page now so you can refer back to it later.
This information is not meant to replace a consultation with a physician and you should never disregard medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you may have read on these websites.
