HEAL (Health Empowerment Access Links) Global, Inc., a company committed to promoting a lifestyle of wellness through meaningful social interaction and resource sharing; today announced the launch of its groundbreaking “euSocial” media environment HEALMYBody.net. From the Greek word ‘eu’ meaning ‘good’ + ‘social’, HEAL My Body offers a timely and practical alternative for consumers seeking a tangibly different social networking experience. While the initial focus will be on the college community, HEAL My Body seeks to serve all people looking to interact with other like-minded persons committed to leading healthy physical, emotional, spiritual and financial lives. College students, both new and familiar to campus life, face physical and emotional fatigue as well as disease and injury due to such pervasive issues as binge drinking, date rape, STDs, hazing, depression, eating disorders, online gambling, academic, and peer pressure as well as a host of others. According to College Drinking Prevention and Columbia University’s National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse: 1,700 college students between the ages of 18 and 24 die each year from alcohol-related unintentional injuries, including motor vehicle crashes Each month 49 percent of full-time college students, about 3.8 million, binge drink and/or abuse prescription and illegal drugs. In 2005, approximately 1.8 million of those students, 22.9 percent, met the medical criteria for substance abuse and dependence. Estimated 310,000 U.S. college students smoke marijuana daily and 636,000 students use illegal drugs (other than marijuana), such as cocaine and heroin. More than 97,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 are victims of alcohol-related sexual assault or date rape. Additionally, a report by the Institute of Medicine states that "…it is unreasonable to expect that people will change their behavior so easily when so many forces in the social, cultural, and physical environment conspire against change.” HEALMYBody.net seeks to disrupt this conspiracy with its unique “euSocial” environment as a practical and innovative web-based solution providing peer-based support in conjunction with an array of professional resources. “HEAL My Body was created as a unique and sophisticated online community to educate, empower and encourage those looking for a ‘real place to heal’ on the Internet,” said J. Allen Zow, Sr., social entrepreneur & founder of HEAL Global. “HEAL My Body’s mantra ‘Release pain ~ Share healing’ is relevant and therapeutic in light of the intense pain being felt in our society due to the current economic and healthcare crises,” Zow concludes. HEAL MY Body is a free membership-oriented, interactive, prevention-based site exclusively dedicated to the four dimensions of health—physical, emotional, financial and spiritual. Each member can create a private personalized “Empower Page” profile with a unique URL. A member’s “Empower Page” may reflect their personal or favorite videos, music, poems, photos, RSS feeds, and more, all designed to uplift, inspire, educate and empower the member on a daily basis. HEAL My Body membership provides access to the following community features: My Home page, RSS feeds, media sharing and mobile uploading, profile pages, viral widgets, messaging, friends/groups, blogs and podcasts, chat and message boards. HEAL My Body’s resources also include over 150 groups, a marketplace and online tools with links to trusted information and products related to the four channels.
