There is a myriad of information out there on the web about alternative medicine. However, as consumers, we must be wary and critical of the information we read. Are the health and therapeutic claims substantiated and validated by scientific studies? Are the scientific studies conducted statistically and methodologically valid? One resource which offers such information is rVita.

rVita is a free web-based service to help consumers, both old and new to alternative medicine, research and find remedies and connect with trusted practitioners. We bring this service to consumers in partnership with integrative practitioners from a range of therapeutic systems, e.g. Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Naturopathy, Conventional Medicine, and more.

Everything consumers need for alternative treatments exists. However, they have the burden of sorting through it all. At rVita we gather all the resources in one place and make this easier. Consumers can research remedies and therapies, ask questions of our experts, and share experiences with other consumers. We bring together research information, efficacy data from scientific sources, and consumer ratings for better informed treatment choices. Within our community we capture treatment success data to build a treatment knowledge base.

At rVita we are starting something new. We put consumers in charge. We put all the information in their hands. Then let them drive the process of getting information out to the world about what works for them.

Check it out and decide for yourself!
