Medical Search Services - For Hire

" Medical-search services are a little-known but powerful tool to help patients find the latest information about their disease. For between $195 and $550 (Nov.26,2002 quote) they will research any health problem and provide a detailed report listing standard and cutting edge treatment, medical experts, clinical trials and alternative therapies. ... Some services focus on conventional treatments and promising clinical trails, while others are heavily weighted toward alternative therapies. The reports are often bolstered by copies of abstracts from respected medical journals or other documented resources."

None of these services are affiliated in any fashion with Janet Edrington RN, the material you receive in these reports should be discussed with your own physician before making any decisions based on their content. Most reports are not produced by physicians. Critiques and comparisons of the reports may be found at www.cancerguide.org . All this having been said, many patients find these reports a fast way to get started and to cut through the immense amount of information that can be found on the internet.
