The danger of Dr. Internet

We all feel sometimes bad.
The baby doesn't react "according to the book".
The child has symptoms of an unclear disease.
An adult has some pain without any clear reason.
Our parents' health is not like it used to be.

Too often we find ourselves consulting with "Dr. Internet" and get the most frightening or unclear information.
Internet offers us an exiting new world with a wide spectrum of information.

But Internet does not give us a tool to digest the information professionally.
We find ourselves with information we cannot verify and use.
That is a danger. There are no shortcuts, one has to eat healthy food and live in a healthy way. If questions rise see your physician, ask him / her tough questions and if you are unconvinced get a second opinion.
