www.nih.gov : this is the general website for health, research, and valuable information regarding many topics. If they do not have appropriate information; you will be sent to another site - always with a caution if it is not up to the standards of the National Institute of Health.

Praying that is the case! (“Nutrition in Cancer Care (PDQ®)–Patient Version was originally published by the National Cancer Institute.”)
