In this new information age, medical news, health information and advice through the mass media constantly bombard us. Some messages are encouraging, but most of them are causing more confusion and concerns. Drug recalls, discovery of unforeseen side effects, clinical proofs reversing previous claims, flip-flopping health advice and mounting evidence of medical errors are having a heavy toll on people's confidence in modern medicine. Lawsuit tangles involving pharmaceutical companies are most controversial and revealing. It raises doubts in our mind whether we can trust modern medicine and drugs to solve our health problems anymore.

When it comes to personal healthcare advice, there are so many different schools of thoughts. It is very hard to know what is right and whom to trust. The only way to protect our interests is to become more curious and studious by exploring all our avenues and getting more information. Get all the facts together and apply a lot more common sense in making decisions.

To live a long and healthy life is not a simple and easy endeavor. It requires life-long learning, personal responsibilities, disciplines, will power, sacrifice and hard work.
