New Book Helps Consumers Tap into What Cyberspace Has to Offer on Health,
Fitness, and Medicine

Berkeley, CA, January 4, 1996-From Osborne/McGraw-Hill comes the perfect
cure for health-conscious consumers who spend too much costly online time
trying to hunt down answers to their health, fitness, and medicine-related
questions. Now, instead of spending hours searching through endless
listings, they can locate exactly what they need in minutes by reaching
for The Internet Health, Fitness, and Medicine Yellow Pages, Special
Edition by Matthew Naythons, MD, with Anthony Catsimatides. 

"Osborne has published this family-friendly book to help consumers take
advantage of the Internet's vast reservoir of health- and medicine-related
information," said Scott Rogers, Osborne/McGraw-Hill's Executive Editor.
"Anyone equipped with a PC and modem can now quickly find and access the
latest Information on specific drugs, diseases or treatments, find support
forums, chat groups and even newsgroups-all at the turn of a page." 

The Internet Health, Fitness, and Medicine Yellow Pages, Special Edition is
a companion volume to the original and best-selling Internet Yellow Pages,
now in its third edition. Covering everything from allergies to yoga and
beyond, this handy, flip-through guide offers Internet browsers at all
levels a wealth of smartly organized health, fitness, and medical listings
that they can access quickly and inexpensively. 

Dr. Naythons has put together an extensive listing of thousands of Internet
resources from all over the world. Just some of the categories covered
include alternative medicine, children's health, exercise, nutrition,
pregnancy and birth, pain management, skin care, sports medicine, and tons
more! Each category is broken down into easy-to-reference listings,
providing readers with full site definitions and readily accessible
addresses. 

"It's obvious," said Matthew Naythons, MD., "that the key to using the
Internet is knowing where to look. This book is the perfect health guide
for the 90's-almost as good as chicken soup. We can show you where to look
for everything from losing weight to finding the best exercise programs to
joining medical support groups." 

Just like the original, each Internet Yellow Pages Special Edition is
fashioned after the traditional "yellow pages" phone book, with plenty of
amusing "ads" and offbeat humor that make them as entertaining and fun to
read as they are practical. 

For anyone interested in finding out all about health, fitness, and
medicine on the Net, this is a must-have guide to the electronic worldview
of these vast and ever-changing topics. 

The Internet Health, Fitness, and Medicine Yellow Pages is soft cover, 400
pages, and has illustrations throughout. Suggested retail price: $22.95.
