www.bodytrends.comBodyTrends
This is a top source for health and fitness equipment - you can simply study the products available to you, or look at what you need to achieve your fitness goal, whether it is to lose body weight, gain strength, strengthen your back, train at home or reduce stress. No-nonsense information.


VitaminLab
If you buy vitamins, here's your chance to buy them direct from the manufacturer and save money. Vitaminlab has a huge range of minerals, vitamins and herbs.

Healthfinder  
An excellent US government site which provides a gateway to reliable health information for the public. All resources listed are hand-picked, while 'Hot Topics' cover the top 20 search topics and 'Smart Choices' covers issues like healthy lifestyle choices, choosing a doctor, health care, and health insurance. Example: searching on 'arthritis' gives a neat list of web resources, and a list of links to organizations which cover the subject, like the Arthritis Foundation. Clicking on 'details' for a site gives extensive information, and a site review.


Bermant plastic and cosmetic surgery
This is the site of an accomplished craftsman who happens to be a surgeon. There are more than 400 pages and it includes possibly everything you might want to know about cosmetic surgery. It is well laid out, with photos and many explicit details, including cost.
The Cochrane collaboration
This is widely recognized as the best site to start searching for evidence based practice. It involves a collaborative effort by thousands of volunteers who have as a guiding principle the humane notion that this work may prevent over-intervention on the part of health practitioners. It is a not for profit organization, but subscription has to be paid for.

Infotrieve
This is a massive effort to organize peer reviewed articles and conferences on the web. It is free, easy to use and is principally organized around medline. It also has an 'other' section which contains 13 million articles.

InteliHealth
This is a massive and well-developed site aimed at consumers of health related information. The coverage is extensive and credible.

Cosmetic Surgery in America
Directory of resources, information and practitioners in cosmetic surgery - facial plastic surgery, liposuction, breast enhancement, hair removal and skin care. The site is currently being built, so all categories may not have content yet.


See also our Alternative health and our Weight Loss pages.


Dr Koop.com 
"The Best Prescription is knowledge" and this site covers health news, men's women's and children's health, and it also has a medical encyclopedia. Probably the site's most useful feature is a scrollable list of conditions, covering everything from acne and AIDS through back pain, depression, epilepsy, fibroids and headaches to travel health and substance abuse. Selecting one of these topics gives a huge library of feature articles and news. Dr Koop is the former US Surgeon General.

Yahoo Health
This is an excellent site if you need information about prescription medicine, well organized and simple to access. It has other sections such as children's health, pregnancy and alternative health but these are more chatty.
Health A to Z .com
'Your family health site' is an attractive site with a focus on news and special sections covering women's health, expectant mothers, men's health, parenting and 60+ health. Articles within the sections cover important issues - the men's health coverage for example deals with prostate cancer, impotence, HIV, STDs and smoking. Conditions Forums cover common conditions like allergies, arthritis and birth control, while other parts of the site deal with issues like alternative medicine. The content of the site is rich, with a lot to read and to explore.

National Institutes of Health
This gives access to a world-renowned medical research center which is part of the US public health system. You can sign up to be part of clinical trials, get funding for research, or connect with the particular institute funded by NIH which is doing research on the condition you are interested in.
Medterms
An award-winning online medical dictionary for families or a general audience. It has an easy to use search system, or you can browse by topic. There is also an index of diseases and conditions.
Medline
Reliable and fast free access to medical bibliographical citations through Pubmed at the National Library of Medicine. Covers medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, and the health care system.
