If you are prescribed with a new medical drug, you most likely want to know to which extent this particular drug has already been taken by other, and how effective it has proven to be. But then again, there is no perfect way to find that out. But this is changing as sites like Bodylog.com are surfacing. With this site, you can get information from what other have to say with these medical drugs.

Bodylog has an impressive global database of user- generated health information. The site is divided into 3 main sections, namely Nutrition, Treatments, and Health Conditions. Each of this section is then subdivided into all the items you could possibly think of. And these are commented and discussed by users of Bodylog. The basic premise is to give every single person who has been prescribed a drug or taken a treatment a chance to say which degree that was successful, and what have been its side effects if there’s any.

Basically, it has the purpose to allow people from all over the world to access and contribute to a global database of user- generated health content. It gathers all anecdotal information that concern to a particular health topic under the premise that in large amounts, this information becomes powerful.

This site’s mission is to use this anecdotal data from everyday people to come up with sign cant inference that concern health and medicine, which will in turn further the health- related goals of others. The Bodylog team believes that helpful, unbiased, and accurate information regarding health should be easily accessible to everyone. Bodylog was created for this very reason. And although this may not seem to be the perfect solution, it is more commendable as far as beginning to take the barriers that keep people from accessing health information goes.
