What the health are we doing to ourselves and the planet?

Some counterfeit pills are made to look like prescription opioids like oxycodone (Oxycontin, Percocet), hydrocodone (Vicodin) and alprazolam (Xanax), or stimulants like amphetamines (Adderall). Fake prescription pills that are widely accessible can contain deadly doses of fentanyl. They are often sold on social media and e-commerce platforms — making them available to anyone with a smartphone, including teens and young adults - Johns Hopkins

But it does share one thing in common with its other alcohol buddies – minimal nutritional benefits - John Moody

Our Story

It's a complicated time with so much information and along with it, disinformation, and we just want to just cut through the noise - Shepherd Smith

To meet this challenge HWN is changing the way health and medical content is delivered on the internet. By using the power of storytelling and imagery our innovative easy-to-use platform provides clarity on issues that matter to you and our planet's health.

Our targeted and diverse original and curated content, including showcasing what people are talking about, entertains and empowers a broad-based audience including people with medical challenges, those who simply want to stay healthy and anyone involved in the business of health.

The world of health and medicine is vast and constantly evolving. Every health issue has a story to tell and a world of its own but searching for information can be tedious and frustrating. Say goodbye to time consuming searches. No matter what the topic Diagnos strives to give you the best sources on the internet.

First the internet, now Healthworldnet connecting you to the world of health and medicine, the alternative to the usual disease, condition and wellness sites. But we don't stop there. Our platform also includes:

Defib247 is our global campaign that focuses on increasing public awareness about Public Access Defibrillation (PAD) along with expanding PAD accessibility 24-7. Our goal is to double the survival rate of out of hospital sudden cardiac arrest by 2030.

Health Entertainment Network features evocative visual media as well as Novateurs highlighting 'ordinary yet extraordinary' people dedicated to creating a healthier you and our planet.

At a time when so much is going on, we give you a moment of calm where you can just focus on one thing, get some history, get some context and feel like you actually understand what’s happening - Mary Harris
