Alternative Health Journal Unveils Online Destination for Natural Health
Solutions
World's First Web 2.0 Natural Health Community Offers Alternative to WebMD.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Aug. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Alternative Health Journal
today announced the launch of the Web's first alternative health community
with Web 2.0 functionality, directly competing with the well-known medical
information site, WebMD. The new site, found at
http://www.alternativehealthjournal.com, features original editorial and
user-generated content focused on natural health news, information and
alternative healthcare solutions for consumers. Editorial contributors for the
new site include award-winning health blogger, Bob Condor, author of The Good
Mood Diet and managing editor of health at MSN.com, renowned former NASA
scientist Dr. William Judy, and Dr. Glen Halvorson, who worked with the U.S.
Olympic team.
The new site offers visitors free access to timely information about
alternative healthcare solutions and the latest in Web 2.0 interactivity.
Alternative Health Journal also hosts one of the Web's largest collections of
alternative health articles, videos and vitamin-supplement glossaries,
allowing consumers to make informed decisions about vitamins, supplements,
herbal remedies, minerals, enzymes and other natural products not directly
regulated by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). The site's growing
community of readers and contributors can now:
-- Upload articles, videos and natural cures to share information, tips
and expertise with fellow community members
-- Participate in forums and a lively alternative health discussion board
-- Share knowledge and best practices on the alternative health blog
-- Comment on editorials and videos and vote for natural cures
-- Search the site by article, video or glossary health concern
-- Stay informed about alternative health events in the news

"When I began researching the alternative health space on the Web, I was
amazed to see the lack of quality information portals," said Erin Jansen,
Editor-in-Chief and founder of the well-known internet dictionary, NetLingo.
"Like many people, I am passionate about alternative health and medicine, but
found no modern, reliable websites with current news or information that
helped me research homeopathic remedies or get the latest information I need
on a regular basis. Since WebMD doesn't provide the timely articles or
information about alternative health solutions I wanted, we decided to create
the world's first Web 2.0 alternative health community."
"We want to give people the opportunity to learn about alternative health
solutions instead of relying solely on western medicine or drugs," added
Robert Riess, President. "Health is personal. People go online to search for
health information that's particular to whatever is ailing them, so we also
wanted to give people the opportunity to share their health stories, whether
it's in a video, article, essay, natural cure, or in our forums."
Alternative Health Journal also sends a newsletter twice a week to its
growing and loyal fan base. The site even has plans to allow its community the
ability to link to other social networking platforms such as MySpace and
Facebook. To view the website or sign up for the newsletter, visit
http://www.alternativehealthjournal.com.
Alternative Health Journal is the online community and leading source for
alternative health news, tips for healthy living and breakthroughs in natural
medicine. Site visitors share knowledge and get access to original content on
alternative health topics ranging from natural anti-aging solutions, ways to
ease joint discomfort, tips to sleep better and much more. Partnered with
well-known doctors, authors, and alternative health practitioners such as
former NASA scientist, Dr. William Judy and Dr. Glen Halvorson who worked with
the U.S. Olympic team, Alternative Health Journal is the only online source
for content with a fresh perspective on nutraceutical industries such as
anti-aging, joint repair, weight control, heart, cholesterol, sleep, memory,
men's and women's sexual health, vision, and body-building. The free online
news community also features one of the world's largest collections of
alternative health articles, videos, blogs, community forums and product
reviews. For information or to become a member, sign up at Alternative Health
