From October of 2012 until July of 2016 I was the library manager at a small school in Ohio that specializes in Alternative Medicine. What do you think alternative medicine is? I have no idea. There are many experts! They rarely agree with each other. We each have to figure it out for ourselves.

Lets start with the literature of health sciences.

PubMed.gov

PubMed comprises more than 24 million citations (2016) for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books. Citations may include links to full-text content from PubMed Central and publisher web sites.

MedLine Plus

The National Institutes of Health provide this website for patients and their families and friends.

MedlinePlus Guide to Healthy Web Surfing

What should you look for when evaluating the quality of health information on Web sites? Content on the Internet is unregulated; anyone can publish anything on the Internet. There is sound medical information on the Internet along with dangerous information. You need to be able to tell the difference.

Using Google Scholar and other Google resources for education

On YouTube. Hang on to your hat. Daniel M. Russell of Google never specifically mentions health sciences. This is all about how to use Google for superpowered research.
