Cender for Medical Consumers Update

 Their website stopped posting new material on October 19, 2012. Feel free to use their archives accessible on the webpage. The policy work of the Center continues. 

The last post was "Should you get a flu shot?"

The Center for Medical Consumers is an independent,nonprofit organization. Their website took a critical look at the evidence supporting common treatment decisions.  The recurring themes include over diagnosis and its consequences, how to recognize unnecessary treatment, how to understand inflated claims for screening tests and preventive drug therapy.  The website still has important information, but will not be updated.
