Once the only way to access such help was through local branches of an organization. Writing away for information was another option but it could take weeks to get a response and organizations are known for running out of handouts frequently. They have a large number of health related groups and you even have the opportunity of starting your own for free there. One problem many people have is the actual searching for these helpful websites. This isn t good because no one search engine has every site listed on it.
Some engines have search results which are too broad or long as well to be of any real help.
Special search engines for health related websites have also started to pop up more and more which can be very helpful for giving exact matches to what you re looking for. Although products such as herbs, vitamins, etc. have been marketed on the Internet for some time, prescription drugs are just now becoming more and more easily attainable as well. A number of pharmacies have started to offer online filling of prescriptions and a few doctors have even gone so far as to write prescriptions online without even physically examining the client. Mostly these are drugs that men would use such a Viagra. They play on many mens reluctance to come in for a real office visit and their likelihood to except self diagnoses, hence the danger of using such sites.
