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.
