Imagine you somehow developed a chronic disease. How would you gather information that would help you cure your illness? How could you tell if the information you had gathered was accurate and credible?

Firstly, I would ask the doctor who diagnosed me for any information on the disease that is of their knowledge. Using reputable medical websites, I'd then cross reference the information provided from my doctor. It would also be a smart idea to ask other doctors to compare their answers. If modern medical science cant find the answer, I'd then try to see if there were any alternative or holistic medical options.

Answer:

First, I'll find forums with other people who have this condition is a must. If you find out information on a forum, try to ask the members where they got it, if they have any evidence/studies to back it up. Depending on how well studied the disease is, doctors may or may not be helpful.

Then, I would check with the societies/organizations that were dedicated to this particular disease, but I would double check who started the organization, too. I know of one where the website support site for a disease was started by the pharmaceutical company that made drugs for it, so all the advice was to take their drugs.
