The power of the internet as a communication tool is virtually infinite. The Helfgott Research Institute, always up for a challenge, embarked into the vastness of the internet back in 2007 with one straightforward goal:
We wanted to shift perspectives on research and natural medicine in an artful, introspective way.
Secondarily, but certainly not as a matter of rank, we also wanted Helfgott to pop up as a resource on the first page using common search engines like Google or Yahoo when someone investigating words like: “natural medicine research.” Quickly our team of researchers took to the task, armed with search engine optimization (SEO) and the helpful advice of an NCNM student Eric Grey, founder of the Chinese Medicine website Deepest Health. Our dynamically combined efforts unfolded and evolved and, more importantly, we have effectively learned how to communicate the muscle behind the medicine.
No longer crawling like an infant, but rather surfin’ like a pro, Helfgott has created a dynamite web of knowledge about the science and thoughtfulness of natural medicine, detailing the interconnectedness between research, clinical medicine, and health reform. Everything is just an ingenious click away.
Not surprisingly, our web presence has grown tremendously, thanks to you all, and we achieved our goal in just two short years. Yep. We’re officially 2 years old, and we’re still pulling out all the stops. The fruits of our labor, i.e., the www.HelfgottBlog.com website, has ripened into a heavily trafficked virtual hub. Our Helfgott Blog and resourceful Community Resources Pages serve as viable outlets for websufers who wish to learn about CAM’s latest research as well as read poignant commentary on the culture of contemporary medicine. And just to brag a little bit about our stats: the Helfgott blog sees on average an astounding 10,000 viewers per month, and our Helfgott Blog receives on average 250 hits per day!
Ooh-de-lally! Now that’s preachin’ using the purposeful poise of a little finger, outstretched in just –the– right direction, simply serving to pique your curiosity about an underlying meaning behind the bare necessities of life.
The Helfgott initiative began as a plain-spoken step towards internet media, yet in the wake of our achievement, we continue to grow by leaps and bounds. Thanks so much for the support, we would be virtually nowhere with out all of you tuning in….
