Announcing the Oriental Medicine (OrMed) Mailing List!
======================================================

This list was formed in the late spring of 1994 to serve as a forum 
for the discussion and advancement of Oriental Medicine as it makes 
its journey from East to West.

Since this is a new list, we really haven't had an opportunity to
get a feel for what our subscriber group will ultimately look like. 
Already on the list are several nationally known writers in the 
field of Oriental Medicine, several acupuncturists, a few acupuncture 
students, and several people just interested in Oriental Medicine. 
So far the list membership is entirely from the USA, but we are very 
interested in getting members from all parts of the world and reading 
their perspectives on the topic.

Description of the list:
========================

I created the OrMed mailing list in May of 1994 to serve as a 
forum for those practicing, using or interested in Oriental 
Medicine. The purpose was and is to put together practitioners,
researchers, lay people and patients for the exchange of ideas,
questions, hopes, techniques and more. We hope that this list
can positively contribute to the growth and development of
Oriental Medicine in the West. This is a moderated list.

This list is intended for the friendly, positive discussion
of Oriental medicine. While disagreements and such will pop
up from time to time, this is not the place to discuss Oriental 
medicine VS. Western medicine, or to shout "where's the study!?" 
in response to a treatment suggestion. We are here to talk 
*about* Oriental Medicine, not to critique the theory as a whole. 
It is not that such critique is without its place in the health 
arena, but this list has a somewhat more tightly focused intent.

Also, though one might use this list to get information about
a particular medical condition, no one can diagnose or prescribe
via the net. With regards to Oriental medicine, this is especially
difficult. This list is an information resource, but should not 
serve as a substitute for getting professional medical advice 
from a licensed health practitioner. As moderator, I will enforce 
this rule as necessary. No free medical advice here.

To join the OrMed mailing list, send a request to 
listserv@bkhouse.cts.com as follows:

Subject: Subscribing and Unsubscribing

Just as a reminder from your friendly neighborhood list
administrator, all requests to subscribe, unsubscribe or
request FAQ's and HELP files should be sent to:

OrMed-Request@bkhouse.cts.com or ListSERV@bkhouse.cts.com

Sending them to the list at large doesn't work, most of the
time (lazy soul that I can be), and probably costs someone
out there money just to read a message saying the you want
to unsubscribe, etc. 

If you are experiencing trouble with your administrative
request, feel free to contact me at OrMed-Admin@bkhouse.cts.com.

Thank you all very much for your cooperation!

Norm.
