It's a great idea to answer frequent questions in a welcome

letter.

However, low dose naltrexone is for ANYONE with an

interest in LDN - For any reason. Success stories are wonderful and

encouraging, but we need to hear when it's not.

This is where anyone not doing well on LDN should be able come

for help. Do you remember when you first heard of LDN? I do. I was

anxious, hopeful, skeptical, unfamiliar with the whole " blog thing " ,

turned down by my doctors and looking for information and help on my

own. Yes, we want people to be polite and courteous. Period. However,

we do not want to come off as " click-ish " ,

The more diversified our group is, the more resources we have.

Imagine a news reporter with a curiosity in something he had heard

of - LDN. Imagine the general public becoming aware of something low-

cost, seemingly effective, yet sqashed by the whole pharma, doctor,

money and greed thing. Can you imagine the PUBLIC outcry? I bet we

would get a study then! Also, not being owners of this site, we must

be careful not to put limitations that the owner, Dr. Gluck has not

intended.

A welcome pack to point them in the direction of the information

that is already available is a great idea, but there are no stupid

questions. Your letter is well written and you have a good idea. Can

it be " tweeked " ?

[low dose naltrexone] LDN GROUP GUIDE? - please add your

thoughts/ideas

Hi all,

Have just read through a few of the digest emails (collectively grouped

emails) and now have a reasonable idea of what could be causing a few

communication hiccups.

This is just a thought, but it may be worthwhile to create an LDN group

welcome email for new members. I know you already do a welcome pack Aletha,

and I'm sure it's comprehensive. I just feel a quick welcome email like the

one below could help.

It would certainly help those seeking clarification on LDN, and may help

relieve some of the pressure from those who already contribute a great deal

of time helping others.

EVERYONE - please add your thoughts/ideas/changes. If everyone agrees to the

content, then perhaps the first to respond to a new member could add it to

their response.

Regards,

Cris

-----------------------------------------------

Guide for NEW LDN GROUP Members:

This group consists primarily of those who've had personal success since

taking Low Doses of Naltrexone (LDN) for various disorders - others are here

because LDN has been successful for their family or friends.

Collectively, we are simply a group of like-minded people who were lucky to

hear of LDN, who want to make the path a little easier for others than it

was for us, and who try to support each other in our quest for improved

health.

Experience has taught us that new members often have lots of questions.

That's understandable, but as none of us enjoy optimum health (yet), we'd

appreciate it if you'd visit the www.low dose naltrexone.org website FIRST to

read all the content. It will not only help you but will also help us - and

would be sincerely appreciated ... because the more you know and understand,

the less time we need to spend in responding to similar questions.

Other than that, we ask only that your contribution is courteous and

respectful so we can all benefit from this association.

We understand tempers can be a little short under the influence of pain but

hope you'll agree that's no justification for upsetting others, especially

those whose only reason for being here is to help.

A warm welcome to our group. We sincerely hope you too will benefit from

LDN.

PS Please refer to the following Member Tips when you want to change your

membership preferences such as email settings:

To modify your member preferences go to

low dose naltrexone/ and select 'sign

in'. After you've 'signed in', select 'edit membership' at the top of the

page. This will access your membership page where you can change your

preferences:

a) To STOP RECEIVING EMAILS ...

Under 'Message Delivery' select 'Web Only - Don't get notified of the latest

happenings. Read messages only on the web.'

To REDUCE the NUMBER OF EMAILS you receive...

Under 'Message Delivery', select 'Daily Digest' (this groups multiple emails

into a single email to reduce the volume).

c) To LEAVE the GROUP ...

Select 'Leave Group' in the bottom right-hand corner.

After any change, select 'Save Changes' at the bottom of the page. You'll be

taken to a page with the message 'Your membership has been updated'. Select

'Sign Out' to exit.

Hi All,

Would it be a good idea to set the Welcome packet up like a guide

book? Table of contents, FAQ's, links to other disorders ldn is used

for, etc., perhaps links to previous discussions on a subject, ldn

doc. list, candida test and tx, an all in one intro. to help cut down

on the inevitable repetition that comes with being new or just having

forgotten? Could it be available at the sign up page?

Hi Gigi,

That is an excellent idea. I presented something close to it a number of

months ago but I have not had any time to work on it. I have many saved

chats regarding different issues that we could put in for different topics

as solutions that different chatters have come up with. It would save time

and we could keep adding to it as new things come up. It could be a work in

progress always. As it should be.

If someone else has more time, I can send them what I have saved and they

could filter through it.

My best

Guidelines sound like a wonderful idea. Might be good to add a paragraph about when someone replies to a msg they should just quote part of the msg, not all of it and all the previous msgs in the same thread. I have noticed many of the msgs are so very long. This might eventually cause a problem with storage on , as I am sure there is some type of limit size of storage they permit. If there is a storage limit, which I am sure there is, might start deleting the archives of LDN group and much would be lost. Then when someone searched for past msgs on a topic, there would be a lot missing.

When replying to a msg, I many times will copy the portion I want to include in my reply, then I click on the reply "button". In the blank msg space I paste what I have copied and add arrows to indicate quoted msg. Or, if when you hit reply the whole msg is there, you can highlight it all and then paste on that what you have copied. Then I write my reply above the pasted material. That is what I did here. There are other ways to do this. But, deleting some of the old msg/msgs should be done. Deleting parts of msgs also makes for easier reading of list mail.

What about either adding to the low dose naltrexone info in wikipedia

or adding a new more specific entry and providing the link to that on

Hi Aletha,

I wouldn't mind doing it because I can organize, but I'm so bloody

awful when it comes to undestanding the computer I'm like a car

without a motor! Perhaps a collaborative effort, what do you think?

Hi Gigi,

A collaborative effort sounds wonderful. I know how you fee about the

computer. I know some things but they are very rudimentary. Nothing fancy

here.

I think we need to combine together the new Group Guide from the

Welcome e-mail and a solutions to specific problems page. When I have more

time I will try and put together the solutions stuff.

Or maybe is right and we can just have the group guide at the

beginning for those that join the site, then we could somehow have the other

two posted for people to download from the site. I don't know how to

implement any of this, so hopefully someone that does would not mind

stepping in.

I'll help with what ever I can.

My best

I know it's only been one year, but I don't remember how I ended up

here! I don't know if anyone else can say the same but I was

overwhelmed with information, illness, doctors, blah, blah. I'm sure

there must be others who feel the same. That's why I thought a

Greeting/guidebook without being sappy would help sort out some of the

franticness felt in the beginning of ones search of answers. What do

you think?

Sorry for misspelled words, paid med today and I'm a bit loopy.

Thanks,

Gigi

I think it's a great idea. Questions will always be asked, but a

little guidance up front may take some of the mystery out of it.

Dr. Gluck posted this on April 7, 2003 message #61. I have slightly

modified it for our purposes. Perhaps it too, or something similar,

can be incorporated into the Welcome Email?

Special Notice: Group Etiquette

Dear LDN Group members,

Thank you for participating in our dynamic, growing discussion group

about Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)!

The purpose of this message is to underscore a few principles that we

consider important as the group grows in size:

1) Message volume to the group has increased sharply recently. Two

thoughts on this:

a. When writing e-mail, please keep the number of messages you

address to the entire LDN group to a minimum. If you are responding to

a single person, please do not send your reply to the entire LDN group

unless there is a very important reason to do so.

b. If you would prefer not to receive so much e-mail from the LDN

group, click on Edit Membership on the top left hand side of the page

(you will need to log in first) -- and change your Message Delivery

option to either

" Daily Digest " (to receive no more than one e-mail per day, containing

all the messages sent to the group that day), or " Special Notices " (to

receive only special notices from the moderator, such as this message,

as well as future messages announcing updates to the LDN website).

2) has a very strict policy about spam: Members may not

use the service to send unsolicited or unauthorized advertising,

promotional materials, spam, chain letters, multilevel/pyramid

schemes, or any other form of solicitation. For this reason,

some members have been banned from the group.

3) It is not acceptable for members to write to other members claiming

that they are the group moderator. If anyone writes to you claiming

to be the group moderatoror owner, please forward the message to

email@ low dose naltrexone.org for verification.

(tighten up space between @ and low dose naltrexone.org before sending)

4) The LDN group was set up by the LDN website editors to allow

a free dialogue to occur among those interested in LDN and its use.

Unless pressed, it is not our intention to screen messages to the LDN

group or censor them in any way. We ask that group members take

responsibility for what they post to the group.

Thank you for your kind attention,

LDN Website Editors
