I love the Internet. Since I learned about rss, feeds, blogs, and Internet information, I have become addicted to reading more than ever. I read about 200 medical headlines per day. I subscribe to a number of helpful blogs and I spend about 2 hours per day reviewing material that I largely pass on to my patients. I also assemble some of that information into blog posts that are in the Thursday category. It is one to go exploring in and find out about how to diagnose and treat strep throat, how to remove ticks or prevent them from getting on you and many other topics. Some are well written and others just contain some good links. I am still a work in progress with my writing.

I thought you might like to know what I read and why. Then you can get the information for yourself. First let me review my medical news feeds.

Health Scout is a good one for general news. It is part of the Choicemedia network.

News-Medical.Net is free and able to access global medical news services for the consumer, professional and researcher.

News-Target.com is different with this -The Declaration of Journalistic Independence

The News-Target site is free of ads but leans far left. I have to grudgingly agree with the viewpoint very often.

ON the blog side of things I like:

Mark’s Daily Apple, today he has a article about human growth hormone.

Moses Fitness is a blog by Kevin an entrepreneur and health nut who has a worth while blog even if he does post irregularly.

Strong Lifts.com is a site that encourages fat loss and muscle building through weight lifting. You should get his e-book Strong Lifts 5×5 free by subscribing to his rss feed. At the bottom of every post you receive via rss or email, he puts the link for the download at the bottom.

Get Rich Slowly is a favorite blog. What does it have to do with wellness. Dr. N. Hadler of UNC and author of The Last Well Patient says that your economic status will have as much to do with how long you live as your genetics and medical care. J.D. the blog author (there is more here than just a blog) has attracted enough of a following that in 2007 he had a top 100 blog. There are millions of blogs, to have one rated this high is astounding and worth reading literally for your health.

Welcome to Dumb Little Man. Each week we provide a handful of tips that will save you money, increase your productivity, or simply keep you sane. Another blog focused on having a good life.

Timely and worth while tips. This is another top 100 blog.

One last RSS feed is my Google feeds from Google Blogs, Google News, and Google Scholar. I use Firefox browser. I go into Google News(or Blog, or Scholar) and create a search and then can click on the feed creator in the Firefox search window and direct it to my feed reader which happens to be Google but I could direct it to Bloglines or another reader.

I would like suggestions about what you think is worthy to use your time to read.
