Remedyfind is a free, non-commercial site that lets individuals rate the effectiveness of the treatments they have used for particular health conditions. Its owner, Brett Hodges, started it 3 years ago to try to find help with treatments for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. After doing the CFS section he realized the same approach could also work for other chronic health conditions and has recently added an eating disorders section.
