July 13, 2016 by drjaffer

Today our 4th e-book in the Adult Guide: Health Screening and Prevention line went live: Colon Cancer Screening and Prevention! This pamphlet focuses on medical screening for Colon Cancer, the second-leading cause of Cancer Death in the United States. It’s designed to help you understand the risk factors for Colon Cancer, learn to identify potential symptoms, and learn how screening methods such as colonoscopies can help identify potential or early-stage cancers before they become fatal, allowing for safe and effective treatment.

Most people are not very well-educated on colon cancer, despite it being relatively common and extremely deadly if left untreated. We rarely talk about colonoscopies in our society, and when we do, they’re often used as punchlines. But they’re something everyone needs to understand – because they may be the only thing standing between you and a preventable death.

This book is streamlined to focus on screening and prevention while also providing information on how to talk to your doctor about your options as a patient. Advanced medical screening for colon cancer is well established, but your doctor may not have discussed the option with you in the past – so it’s important to understand your rights and timetables for getting your screening done.

We’ll be releasing these “mini-e-books” for each of the major chapters covered in the big e-book, and we’ll continue to update you here each time a new release goes live. Until then, we hope you find this guidebook to be useful in your own fight against colon cancer!

July 8, 2016 by drjaffer

Today our 4th e-book in the Adult Guide: Health Screening and Prevention line went live: Lung Cancer Screening and Prevention! This pamphlet focuses on medical screening for Lung Cancer, the leading cause of Cancer Death in the United States. It’s designed to help you understand the risk factors for Lung Cancer, as well as new screening methods and guidelines that can help you and your doctor identify Lung Cancer in the early stages, before it becomes fatal.

Most people understand that smoking causes lung cancer. But many people are unaware of just how fatal this disease can be, and even more people are unaware of the screening methods that exist to catch it early before it spreads to other parts of the body. Lung Cancer is preventable, but even so, it doesn’t have to be a death sentence in every case – but unless it’s caught early, it will be.

This book is streamlined to focus on screening and prevention while also providing information on how to talk to your doctor about your options as a patient. Advanced medical screening for lung cancer is fairly new, and many doctors may not have discussed the option with you in the past – so it’s important to understand your rights and options.

Gun Violence Screening E-book Live!

May 19, 2016 by drjaffer

This marks the launch of our 3rd e-book in the Adult Guide: Health Screening and Prevention line: Gun Screening in the Doctor’s Office! This pamphlet focuses on medical screening for gun violence. It’s designed to help you understand your rights, why doctors may be asking you about gun ownership and domestic violence issues, and how that information can be used.

When we released the original Health Screening and Prevention guide, we expected the gun violence screening section to be one of the most controversial parts of the book. Our nation has suffered from a wave of violent shootings in recent years, and the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) has introduced new controversy into the debate over doctors’ roles in helping screen for and prevent gun violence and dangerous incidences of mental health disorders.

This book is streamlined to focus on the reasons for screening while also providing information on the laws and regulations surrounding the practice. Medical screening for potential gun violence in on the rise, and while it is not mandated by the government many doctors consider it their professional duty to speak with their patients about potential risk factors and possible solutions.

May 6, 2016 by drjaffer

This week marks the launch of our 2nd e-book in the Adult Guide: Health Screening and Prevention line: Breast Cancer Screening and Prevention! This book is much smaller than the original book, and focuses exclusively on breast cancer. It’s focused on boiling down as much information as possible into a set of need-to-know guidelines that can serve as your go-to source of information on fighting this deadly disease through preventive medicine.

When we released the original Health Screening and Prevention guide, we knew that most people would be far more interested in shorter, more focused book rather than the huge wealth of information present in the original. If you’ve already grabbed a copy of the original book, you’ve already got access to this information, along with a huge wealth of preventive tools for dealing with dozens of other common but potentially deadly ailments.

This book is for those who are looking for a simple, straightforward handbook that should explain the basics of breast cancer, mammography, positive and negative tests, and how to identify if you are high-risk for breast cancer. It also provides clear timelines so you know exactly when to talk to your doctor about testing and what the results might look like.

We’ll be releasing these “mini-e-books” for each of the major diseases covered in the big guide, and we’ll continue to update you here each time a new release goes live. Until then, we hope you find this guidebook to be useful in your own fight against breast cancer!
