Getting to know you....

I think it would be great fun to have some sort of FILE on this website for all

members who what to give a health profile of themselves.

In addition to basic referential information such as location, age, gender,

areas of expertise, weight, or whatever, we could include items such as:

1) What brought me to this site

2) GB history

3) Surgical History

4) Other ailments past or present

5) Cleansing history

6) Flushing history

7) Dietary issues

8) Mistakes/Lessons learned

9) Types of Alt Med tried or preferred

10) Other

For me it would give me a quick-reference to what each person has dealt with

and save some repetition over the months and years. However, I could

where this type of sharing might bring up privacy issues for many. It's just a

thought that hit me last night when someone on the site asked me if I'd had

my GB removed. This could prevent having to repeat personal history and

those who want more info can find it.

I have also just begun to explore our FILES, LINKS, DATABASE and other

bits of stored information. There's quite a bit of information there in case you

haven't seen it. I was wondering who Suzanne is (who's done a pile of work!

Thanks!) and how she has decided what to archive and what to let slide.

These files could really help panicky new people get cracking and find the

plan that suits them best.

How about a " READ THIS FIRST file " . I was sent a file from Dale about his

history that was very positive and helpful when I subscribed but I do not

remember a link that sent me to the files section. Must be here somewhere.......

Gets back to the question of how much does someone want to do to take care of

their health (invest time reading webite files) versus getting someone to

give them a " quick-fix " answer.
