Recently I found myself spending way too much time searching and scanning a bunch of different health and alternative health news sites to get ideas for the blog as well as keep up to date.
Every other day, I would find myself spending 1-2 hours reading news sites to get great health information–which is fine–except for the fact is that once I was on a major news site, I would end up reading everything from the horrors that happen on a regular basis to the offbeat news. Not the best use of my time 
So I set out to find a way to get all the health and alternative health news that I scan daily into one place.
To save the unnecessary tech talk, this search brought me to create a personal site that collected all the top headlines from the sites I read–or at least scan–regularly. These were sites like Mike Adams’s Natural News, Joe Mercola’s site, CNN Health, The New York Times Health Section, and a whole bunch of others.
It was helpful, but then I realized that if I wanted to share this with you the Renegade Health Reader, I couldn’t.
Mission failed… until…
I found a script that could “aggregate” all the breaking health headlines onto one public site. This simply means that all the most recent health news and alternative health stories and blog postings from around the web are now in one place for you to be able to reference them and stay up to date on what’s going on in the health world.
It’s called “HealthFetch” and I’d like you to check it out and more importantly–I want you to use it!
But before you do, I would like your help to spread the word about it…
I obviously want people to use this tool, (It’s absolutely free and there’s nothing you have to sign up for) so to help me spread the word and get more people excited about it, here’s what you can do…
1. Visit the new site – I’ll give you the address at the end of this post.
2. If you like the site, please make it your homepage or add it to your bookmarks.
2a. If you know what Digg.com or StumbleUpon.com are, please be sure to “digg” or “stumble” the site using the little icons in the top right corner.
3. If there’s a news website or blog you really think should be on the site, please send me the site address. (Please keep in mind we’ll only consider health or alternative health news sites or frequently updated, credible blogs with traffic)
That’s all… it should take less than 2 minutes of your time and would be extremely valuable to me. Right now, Annmarie and I are the only ones who use it and she’s found it’s a great way to get more information quickly so she can keep her clients informed.

BTW: It’s been amazing to watch the trends recently with the meat scandal and recall as all the sites cover it from different angles and thoughts.
It’s also saved me a ton of time!

Hi Kevin,
Great initiative!
I just added a post to my blog http://www.RawFoodSuccess.blogspot.com/ to mention your new website.
This will be a great resource for all of us.
Keep up the good work,

Amazingly gr3 job. It will be interesting to see when more raw foods and leafy greens research pops up here. Whatever interests a person might have, this will be an excellent way to track how much writing is being done about it (and, in a general way, how much awareness and concern exists of your favorite health issues).
Plus, of course, it is a great way to get a lotta stuff all in the blink (or 2) of an eye.
Way out way to go, thank you, thank you.

Hi Kevin,
This is wonderful. With as much research as I am doing to keep our 92-Day Juice Feasting and Live Food Nutrition Program up-to-date, resources like HealthFetch are invaluable.
I salute you to once again making information that help in the positive transformation of individuals and society accessible.
With peaceful steps,

Thanks Kevin for these. They are great site to explore. When I’m done, I forward them to friends. They probably will say “not again” as I forward a lot of health news I get.
Hey it is their choice, but I value my health after a terminal illness 8 years ago, and I’m still here and healthy to boot.
Thanks for the health seminars as well.

This is a great resource. Thanks, Kevin. I have the same problem with looking for ideas on blogs and when writing articles. This will be very helpful.

Hi, I have been a naturopath for 30 years and have a health newsletter I send out locally on a regular basis. Like you, I’m always searching for relevant information. You have come up with a winner, well done, much appreciated and thank you.
