“Sandy Berger’s GreatAge Guide: Online Health and Wellness;” $14 from Que (www.quepublishing.com ).
The author has a series of help guides, so the publisher put her name out front. Though the books are primarily aimed at seniors, we think they’re useful for anyone. This one has lots of information about health sites on the Internet. One criticism: There is no appendix with a list of sites and their Web addresses; you have to find them by going through the text.
One site you want to go to for sure is QuackWatch.org , which covers fake cures and treatment pitches, not doctors. A similar site is DentalWatch.org.
