Resounding Health Publishes Free e-Books on H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccines, Diagnosis and Treatment(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Medical information on the internet is often overwhelming. Studies have shown that many consumers are frustrated, confused or even frightened by what they find in existing online health sites. To provide consumers with straightforward, reliable and authoritative information, Resounding Health has created a series of free e-books on pandemic H1N1 swine flu with information on prevention, diagnosis, treatment and recovery. Boston, MA (PRWEB) October 15, 2009 -- The first doses of vaccines for the 2009 H1N1 (swine) flu began arriving in hospitals and doctors' offices this week. Confusion and fear about the two forms of the vaccine, who should get them, their effectiveness and potential side effects are spreading more rapidly than the virus itself. How does one sort through all of the available material and distinguish reliable information from misleading or fraudulent messages? The U.S. Government has at least a dozen different departments, agencies, institutes, centers and divisions providing consumer information on the H1N1 swine influenza pandemic. These include the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Library of Medicine, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Departments of Agriculture, Education and Veterans Affairs. Using its unique CaseBook™ technology, Resounding Health has examined all of these sources, as well as the U.K. National Health Service, the Public Health Agency of Canada and the World Health Organization (WHO) and condensed all of the most important information about H1N1 swine flu into a series of three free e-books. The e-books covering vaccines ("flu shot" and nasal spray) and treatments (e.g. Tamiflu™, Relenza™) also have links to information provided by the manufacturers of these products which include CSL Ltd., GlaxoSmithKline, MedImmune (AstraZeneca), Novartis, Roche and Sanofi-Aventis. "These e-books contain brief summaries of all the need-to-know information on how consumers can protect themselves during the flu pandemic," said Dr. Mark Boguski, co-founder of Resounding Health, including the commercial sources of FDA-approved vaccines and drugs and even the closest place to get your flu shot. Dr. Alan Littleford, co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Resounding Health added that "also included are lists of web sites that the FDA and FTC have identified as providing misleading or fraudulent information." In addition to the e-books on H1N1, Resounding Health provides dozens of other free CaseBooks on timely and important health topics including addiction, alternative medicine, autism and Asperger's syndrome, brain tumors, breast cancer, diabetes, drug intoxication, herniated discs, Hodgkin's disease, leukemia, medical tourism, mercury poisoning, liver transplants, lupus, pancreatic cancer, seizures, stem cell transplants, resveratrol, stress fractures and stroke. All of these CaseBooks can be printed, linked to, embedded or sent to a friend; users can even create their own CaseBooks for personalized medicine.
