Looking for Volunteers

[Guest guest]

Hi group - I'm starting a massive web project and am looking for

volunteers to write daily or weekly diaries for several months about

various health issues. Each issue will have its own section and

diaries. The issues will include all kinds of diseases as well as

diet lifestyles like calorie restriction or low-carb dieting etc.

The idea is to give first-person information to visitors to the site,

and to give it to them in diary form so they can follow a person's

life with a certain disease or follow the progress of somebody

following a certain way of eating.

All the volunteers would have to do would be to update this diary as

often as they feel like it, once a day, several times a day, once a

week, once a month - it doesn't matter as long as the diary is honest

and informative. You may use a pseudonym or your real name,

whichever you feel most comfortable with.

The main calorie restriction page would have a detailed explanation

of calorie restriction, links to recent studies and books about the

subject. Then there would be the diaries. Ideally, I'd like to have

a wide variety of people writing on each subject, like CR from a

woman's perspective, from a man's perspective, from a younger

person's, an older person's, somebody with underlying medical issues,

etc.

The first sections to go live will be:

Alzheimer's Disease

Mitral Valve Prolapse

Menopause/Hormone Replacement Therapy

Calorie Restriction

The Zone Diet

Atkins Diet

If you would like to write on any condition that you may currently

have, please let me know as I plan to add a section for every ailment

known to man (and woman)!

So... any volunteers? I think it will be a fun project, something

really unique in the world of online health sites. Just think,

somebody who has just been diagnosed with a specific disease can come

and read several honest diaries about the subject. And somebody

beginning CR can get an idea of what the day to day lifestyle is like.

Contact me at tasca@... if you are interested,

putting " Health Diaries " in the subject line. Thanks!
