Notes from 1 goggle hit
First hit waas wikipedia - Encyclopedia information
Second -Information about support groups – news and events
Third hit – Home page – Misc - conditoins- behavior - education-
First good source of information – general
Second –not information about the disease ,
Third – Good source general information but very brief


Medline Plus is a wonderful source used it with my health module Far superior to Goggle –Medline offers Ency –Dict – health topics - seems to explain evaluate every aspect of the topic
