Jim said:Good evening. Scanning the internet for different groups, I came across
your organization relating to certain health problems. I am also in the
health field and I would like to know more about your group. Your
membership, things you converse on, etc.
I don't think you quite have the Usenet gestalt, Jim. This newsgroup
is unmoderated. It's for discussing matters of alternative health.
No commercial postings. Here's the charter:
