Find Health at www.foundhealth.com

Global Medicine Hunter News

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

San Francisco---) In a sea of sound-alike, look-alike health web sites, there still exists a yearning for community of people to share their experiences with chronic conditions. Rita Sharma, CEO and founder of www.foundhealth.com, decided to invest in an online platform that allows those with health challenges to not only find solutions, but find support, friendship, and sound advice from others who have been through similar struggles.

Based in Northern California like so many other web innovators, Sharma has attracted skilled health and science writers to contribute well researched, fully referenced articles on conditions ranging from ADHA to breast cancer, sinusitis, and viral hepatitis. And yes, that's similar to what you'd find at web sites such as WebMD and about 30,000 others.

However, what you'll find at FoundHealth that doesn't exist elsewhere is an exceptionally integrative approach that features a personalized path including the following:

Medicine: These solutions optimize health using medical solutions. ?Examples: Drugs and Surgery

Nutrition: These solutions optimize health using food and supplements. ?Examples: Vitamins, Minerals or foods

Herbs: These solutions optimize health by using natural herbal substances, which can be found in the form of actual herbs or herbal supplements. ?Examples: Ginseng or Shatavari

Body: These solutions optimize health by working your body. ?Examples: Exercise, yoga, massage and acupuncture

Mind: These solutions optimize health through the workings of your mind. ?Examples: Meditation, Affirmations and Hypnosis

Other: These key solutions do not fit neatly in the areas above. ?Examples: Prayer and Spiritual Healing

For every health challenge, you can find integrative health strategies, many of which have experts and others with experience weighing in on how well those strategies worked for them.

Within FoundHealth's philosophy is a firm commitment to community expertise. The site continues to grow through others giving a sort of "thumbs up/thumbs down" vote, but instead of the typical noise factor (lots of senseless commentary with low intelligence or appeal) that you find on some websites that solicit opinion, you get to view the qualifications of the contributors, many of whom earn expert status.

Since over 65% of individuals now use complementary and alternative medicine to heal what ails them, there are growing numbers of people with credible experience—often exceeding that of their conventional MDs who still shrug off evidence-based alternative approaches.

At this point, Sharma's initial commitment to self-finance the web site has achieved the look and activity she is proud of; however, she is open to acquisitions, mergers, and other creative financing ventures to take www.foundhealth.com to the next level.
