I am trying to do some research on a medical issue, but I don't really know how to find the truth! Everyone bashes everyone else so who do you believe?

Well, to begin with, double-blind clinical trials are the gold standard of research, though a single study is not definitive; and peer-reviewed journals are the standard of publication. I would definitely be biased towards info from a reputable center (Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins, etc) than a no-name site. However, other material can be valuable, you just need to keep in mind where it comes from.

Is this the kind of help you need?

Do you mean conventional vs. alternative medicine?
