Healthsearches Creates B, Newsletter on Breast Health & Cancer
Newsletter empowers women on integrative medicine for breast health & breast cancer.
Ketchum, ID (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) January 31, 2005 -- Healthsearches, a division of HC Search
Corporation, announced the creation of B, a new magazine-style newsletter, and
an educational website, www.healthsearches.org, to empower women on issues about
breast health, breast cancer, and other important women's concerns.
According to Tilden Sokoloff, M.D., Healthsearches' President and
co-founder, “Healthsearches came alive to educate, engage, and empower women in
their own healthcare. Many women have an intuitive sense that there are healthy
ways of healing themselves. However, some women who are interested in
supplementing their healthcare with complementary medical approaches may be
reluctant to ask their mainstream physicians about alternative medicine. To provide a user-friendly,
comprehensive source of helpful information on breast health and breast
cancer, we developed a newsletter and novel website for optimizing women’s
wellness.”
A unique feature of B, The Newsletter on Breast
Health & Breast Cancer, and the Healthsearches website, is their focus
on both contemporary mainstream and integrative medical approaches to breast
health, cancer diagnosis and treatment, and women’s wellness. B, an online,
color magazine-style newsletter, is designed to provide helpful information,
alleviate fear, and empower “walking worried” women who want to maintain
wellness and prevent cancer. Also, B is of interest to integrative medical
physicians. The intriguing articles in B include:
•
Interpretations of new findings on breast health and cancer
• Commentary on standard, experimental, alternative, and
integrative medical approaches to prevention, screening, diagnosis, and
treatment
• Controversial issues in women’s health, such
as hormone replacement therapy and alternatives, nutrition, supplements, and
botanical medicine
• Alternative and integrative medical
approaches for overall well-being of body, mind, and spirit
Visitors to
the website may view the cover article in each issue of B. Subscriptions to B
may be ordered online at the Healthsearches website. Subscribers receive B by
email and can access all articles of each issue of B online.
Kiril
Sokoloff, co-founder of Healthsearches and well-known publisher, said, ”Our
website incorporates an extensive Question and Answer (Q&A) format, which is
an effective way for women to understand and learn about improving their
optimizing wellness.” The novel Q&A format of our website makes it easy to
find medical information that is presented in an understandable and interesting
way. A goal of the Q&A section of the website is to allay the concerns of
“walking worried” women, breast cancer patients and their families, and
survivors.
Users of the Healthsearches website
can find information 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.
Also, 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 patients and survivors, and
features the phone number of Komen's National Toll-Free Breast Care Helpline.
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.
Holly Abrams, Ph.D., Healthsearches' Scientific Director said, “Healthsearches
was founded to inform 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 we are developing that will enable people to
take charge of their health.” Future websites will focus on illnesses such as
autoimmune diseases and lifestyle approaches such as nutrition.
