Good websites for health information

[magical1]

Hi everyone... if any of you are like me you probably have the websites that you visit each and everyday to add to your knowledge base. They probably seem to have good information and are easy to navigate etc. Thought it may be a good idea to start up a library resource of the sites you think are worthy.

My first one would be this British website.

the international society for infectious diseases runs a news site regarding what they consider important.

It's amazing the information you can pick up here, which often contradicts what newspapers say:
