Cancer Research Online

As a medical doctor I’ve always been interested in educating patients about their health. 

During the past 2 years, I’ve spent a great deal of time researching how to best teach people to use the internet to find the most current, up-to-date information on cancer and cancer treatment.

 

This product is composed of an 147 page Ebook and 5 “step-by-step” video tutorials. In the Ebook, I show you what information you need to know, what sites to go to, and exactly what to do when you visit these sites. In the video tutorials, you’ll actually watch my computer screen and hear my voice as I teach you step-by-step how to search for the latest cancer information. 

 

Watch the videos and hear me teaching. It’s as if you’re my patient, sitting with me, in my office.

  

You might want to know how a long-time physician with diplomas in emergency medicine, family medicine, and sports medicine became interested in researching the medical literature to help patients with cancer.

 

My interest began when a close family friend was stricken with cancer a few years back. Obviously, I wanted to help.

 

It seemed to me at the time, that using the internet to research a medical disease would be a simple thing to do. I imagined that I would type in the type of cancer I was researching in a search engine such as Google and that all the information I needed would be in one place.  

 

Even though there are some great medical websites, I found searching the internet for cancer treatment information extremely frustrating and confusing.

 

 

I was confused and frustrated for a number of reasons:

 

  • There were so many medical websites that would come up in a Google search that it was overwhelming

  • There was a ton of information on most of the websites but it wasn’t clear to me what was important and what wasn’t

  • As I learned more and more it became apparent to me that no single website  had all the information I needed and wanted

  • The information on most medical websites is very dry and clinical but I knew I needed to find resources where patients were communicating with each other in plain English

  • Although most of the information on medical websites seemed to have been written fairly recently, I was never sure that new research hadn’t just been published that wasn’t discussed

  • Most cancer websites mention clinical trials but they don’t tell you that doctors are often paid to enroll their patients in clinical trials and, that there might be other clinical trials being conducted for the same disease which may be more promising

  • Many of the latest advances that are only being used at certain medical centers aren’t listed on most cancer web sites

None of the medical websites explained how a doctor would use the internet to search for the latest information if he himself were the patient. 

 

This information contained in this Ebook and the video tutorials won’t tell you what the best treatment is for your disease. But it will allow you to find the latest medical information easily and enable you to become a partner in your care with your doctor.

 

 

 

Technology is radically changing our daily lives and it’s starting to change the way patients and doctors interact. I want you to be at the leading edge.  My goal is that you have exactly the same discussion with your doctor that another patient is having right now with the world's top expert in your disease.

 

I sincerely wish you and your family all the best,

 

Glenn Sheiner M.D.
