Healthsearches Launches New Website & Newsletter on Breast Health & Breast Cancer
Website utilizes novel Q&A approach to educate and empower the public about contemporary mainstream and integrative medical approaches to breast health and treatment for breast cancer.
Ketchum, ID (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) January 27, 2005 -- Healthsearches, a division of HC Search
Corporation, announced today the launch of a new, educational website, www.healthsearches.org,
and newsletter to empower consumers and patients on issues about breast health
and breast cancer. The novel Question & Answer (Q&A) format of the
Healthsearches website makes it easy to find medical information on breast
health and breast cancer that is presented in an understandable and interesting
way.
Another unique feature of both the Healthsearches website and B,
The Newsletter on Breast Health & Breast Cancer, is their focus on both
contemporary mainstream and integrative medical approaches to breast health and
breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. The Healthsearches website and B
newsletter encompass the latest information on standard and experimental
diagnostics and therapies for breast cancer, controversial issues in women’s
health, hormone replacement therapy and alternatives, nutrition, supplements,
botanical medicine, and alternative approaches to health and well-being.
Due to Healthsearches’ editorial and financial independence from outside
commercial interests, the organization is able to provide the public with an
objective view on a wide range of medical and lifestyle approaches to wellness.
According to Holly Abrams, Ph.D., Healthsearches’ Scientific Director,
“Healthsearches was founded to educate and empower the public about vital health
and lifestyle issues. Breast health and breast cancer are the focus of the first
of a series of websites and newsletters that Healthsearches is developing that
will enable people to take charge of their health.”
Featuring a Q&A
database that is geared toward allaying the concerns of an audience of men and
women (sometimes termed the “walking worried”), breast cancer patients and their
families, and breast cancer survivors, the Healthsearches website on breast
health and breast cancer allows users to easily find the information they seek
by using any of the following three, simple methods. The Q&A section allows
users to scan an index of topic categories (e.g., prevention, symptoms,
diagnosis, treatment, side effects) for the specific Q&As they desire. The
search function allows users to enter key words and phrases to search the
Q&A collection of information. The “Ask Us A Question” section allows users
to email a question that was not covered in the Q&A library.
In
addition to the Q&A library of information, the Healthsearches website
contains a link to the homepage of the website (www.komen.org) of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation,
an education, advocacy, and support group for breast cancer patients and
survivors, and features the phone number of Komen’s National Toll-Free Breast
Care Helpline.
B, The Newsletter on Breast Health & Breast Cancer,
is an online newsletter designed to provide helpful information, alleviate fear,
and empower “walking worried” women who want to maintain breast health and
prevent breast cancer. Also, B is of interest to integrative medical physicians.
The intriguing articles include:
• Interpretations of
new findings on breast health and breast cancer
•
Commentary on standard, experimental, alternative, and integrative medical
approaches to prevent, screen, diagnose, and treat breast cancer
• Alternative and integrative medical approaches for
overall well-being of body, mind, and spirit
Subscriptions to B may be
ordered online at www.healthsearches.org/subscription.php.
