From [email protected] Wed Jun 29 13:30:27 1994 Path: uunet!bounce-back From: [email protected] (Camilla Cracchiolo) Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,sci.med,sci.med.aids,bionet.immunology Subject: RFD: sci.med.immunology Followup-To: news.groups Date: 29 Jun 1994 10:52:40 -0400 Organization: NETCOM On-line Communication Services (408 261-4700 guest) Lines: 96 Sender: [email protected] Approved: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> NNTP-Posting-Host: rodan.uu.net Xref: uunet news.announce.newgroups:5296 news.groups:107439 sci.med:91381 sci.med.aids:10480 bionet.immunology:1527 ******************************************************************** REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION sci.med.immunology ******************************************************************** This is a formal Request for Discussion regarding the formation of a sci.med group to discuss immunology and immune related diseases. This is *not* a Call For Votes. A Call For Votes will be issued in the groups to which this message is posted 21 to 30 days from the date that this message first appears, assuming that no serious problems with the newsgroup proposal are noted. Voting is to be recorded by a neutral third party. Follow-up should be directed to news.groups. Name: sci.med.immunology Status: unmoderated Distribution: worldwide Proposed by: Camilla Cracchiolo, RN ([email protected]) Description: The purpose of this group is to discuss all aspects of immunology and immune-related diseases, with a special emphasis on the diagnosis and treatment of immune related illnesses; and on new research findings in these areas. Topics appropriate to this newsgroup include but are not limited to: Physiology of the immune system and basic immune research The causes of immune related illnesses The diagnosis and treatment of such illnesses as HIV disease, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia syndrome, and allergies of all kinds The immune aspects of illnesses not generally classified as primarily immune, but which have significant immune involvement including cancer, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and serious infectious illnesses Psychoneuroimmunology and the impact of emotional state on the immune system The relationship between the endocrine and immune systems and the impact of this on illness and health Sleep disorders and their relationship to the immune system The impact of diet and exercise on the immune system both in health and illness How the workplace impacts on immune illness Immunologic therapies such as vaccines and allergy desenstization Immunologic treatment for cancer Immunomodulating drugs and the impact of medications on the immune system Psychosocial aspects of immune related illness This group is not intended to be a primary emotional support forum for patients, although I anticipate that people with immune related illnesses will help one another through sharing information and experiences. Background and rationale: There appears to be a great deal of interest in immunology and immune related diseases on the Internet. There several patient support newsgroups related to various immune related illnesses (alt.med.cfs, alt.med.asthma, alt.support.allergies, alt.support.arthritis, alt.support.cancer and alt.support.mult-sclerosis); a newsgroup devoted to AIDS and HIV disease (sci.med.aids); and several extremely active mailing lists on immune issues: the Immune list, the fibromyalgia syndrome mailing list and psychoneuroimmunology mailing list. In addition, many questions about immune related illnesses such as lupus, asthma and allergies are posted every week to sci.med. However, there is no place where patients and physicians can meet to discuss the scientific and clinical aspects of immune illnesses in general. The group bionet.immunology is devoted to highly technical questions relating to immune research. Many patients have complained that they have posted questions there and never received an answer. Immunologic researchers on bionet.immunology have explained that most of them are not MDs, and therefore do not feel comfortable addressing the kinds of concerns people with these illnesses raise. Thus, one of the purposes of this newsgroup is to provide a place where an overview of the immune system and immunologic illness can be discussed. Feedback prior to posting this formal RFD was overwhelming positive >from both physicians and patients. Many physicians expressed great interest in this subject and stated that they would closely follow such a newsgroup. This group has been proposed in accordance with the guidelines in "How to Create a Usenet Newsgroup". It has been sent to the fibromyalgia, immune and psychoneuroimmunology mailing lists. -- Camilla Cracchiolo, RN [email protected] Los Angeles, CA Shrine of the Cybernetic Madonna BBS 213-766-1356 "The BBS for the information addict!"
