Hi,
As several board members have been nice enough to share their asthma
stories and treatment ratings on my site RemedyFind, I thought I should
let you know about a change to the site.
A little background. 7 years ago I started a website called Remedyfind.
Remedyfind is a free, non-commercial and unbiased site (not sponsored
by any drug companies etc.) that lets individuals rate the
effectiveness of the treatments they have used for specific health
conditions. I started it to try to find help with treatments for
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (which I've had for some 20 years.) Over
time, the site has grown to cover more than 100 health conditions, from
mood and anxiety disorders to autoimmune conditions - and including
asthma.
RemedyFind has been purchased by a new website called Revolution
Health. Revolution Health was created by Steve Case (AOL founder) and
others, with the goal of bringing constructive change to US health care
(yes, an ambitious goal!). In the next few weeks, RemedyFind is going
to be merged with the Revolution Health site. What you see on
RemedyFind now (unbiased lists of treatment options; strict privacy
protection) is what you'll see on Revolution Health, only better.
Revolution Health also has a lot of other interesting features,
including letting users rate doctors, clinics and hospitals, chart the
course of their health/mood, create blogs etc.. Eventually there will
be things like comparison shopping for health insurance plans, a
membership program for health coaching / help with second opinions,
insurance claims etc..
The Revolution Health site is in preview mode now and I was wondering
if some members might be willing to join and offer feedback before it
opens to the public? The more input we can get now the better. If you
have a minute, please go to
http://www.revolutionhealth.com/preview?code=YQ1zrIG6u3 and register
(it's free).
All the best, Brett Hodges

I don't know if you will read this, but I'd prefer knowing what
resources on asthma are available before going through filling out long
registration forms.

Hi - I certainly understand. The site will be open soon - and won't
require registration to use. I was just giving members a chance to see
it in its preview state. Brett
