Overview & Suggestions for Navigating this Site
At the top of most every page, you'll see the major navigational buttons. With one click, these will get you to the top page for each of this website's major divisions: "research", "feedback", etc. Many of these sections, once arriving there, will also have buttons running down the left border. These are the navigational aids for the subdivisional areas within that section. All of this is designed so that the reader can move quickly from any section of this website to any other section while, at the same time, having a graphical representation of where he is at at any given moment.
Author's note: first available chance -- as priority allows -- we plan to change this page to a "site map" -- a page listing each of the pages at this site. Keep tuned.
DISCUSSION OF MAJOR SECTIONS:
LATEST NEWS
Section: Everything at this website that is either recently updated, or of
particular importance will be listed here. The purpose is to enable frequent viewers to
quickly know if anything's changed since their last visit. (Also, note the
"update" dates at the bottom of each page.)
MMY HISTORY
& TREATMENT Section: This
section chronicles the period of my own Lyme history from diagnosis to treatment. At this
time — and in fact, this is one of the major purposes of this website — I do not
take antibiotics. Not that I was cured; my illness was tertiary (or late-stage), but I do
not like antibiotics, and I have sought out and researched and experimented with various
natural health alternatives. These days my health is at times equal to, and at times
superior to the period during which I took antibiotics.
SEARCH SEARCH Section: This
page is a search engine that allows the viewer to be able to search any term or set of
terms through the website. This will be particularly useful in the search of the medical
research documents we have on file. For instance, cancer AND vitamins should show up one
of the journal research articles here linking (along with its discussion) these two
subjects.
ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT INFORMATION NFORMATION
Section: This is the listing, with a bit of
discussion, for those products which I now believe merit the most attention — and do
take; as well as those which I've tried and no longer find beneficial.
JOURNAL & INFORMATION JOURNAL & INFORMATION
Section: This is the main
"workhorse" of the site, with four principal areas. The main one (Called the Stacks)
is where the medical research is compiled and organized by subject area. Each article will
be highlighted in the important areas so as to be readable by non-professionals. The whole
purpose of this is to enable you and your physician to make an informed and
researched judgement as to your health-care. Some of the research might be
what you'd expect to find, however some of it is sure to surprise you (as it did me) when
you come across it. Within each article, there is a section that sometimes contains the
Website author's comments on it; and one that contains any viewing Physician's (or Health
Care Professional's) comments on that particular article.
The second section of the Library (called the Periodicals Room) is simply a set of links to the online locations of the various medical journals: New England Journal of Medicine, Lancet, etc.
The third section is called the Reference Room and contains links to other
sites that sometimes pertinent, and sometimes just plain interesting. Finally, there is a
link to a separate catch-all discussion section for any kind of comments — a graffiti
section, as it were — where viewers may dialog with each other.
LYME & DISEASE
CHECKLIST Section: This section contains two very
powerful check-tools for one who might want to evaluate if he suffers from Lyme. One is a
short checklist; the second one is long and intense, but comprehensive essay
written by John D. Bleiweiss, MD. This section also contains a link to a Candida Albicans
diagnostic checklist, a condition that is common and often unrecognized in lyme sufferers.
FEEDBACK / FURTHER
INFORMATION FEEDBACK / FURTHER
INFORMATION Section: We
would love to have your input and feedback on either the site itself, or on specific
content, such as Physician's comments to be appended to one or more of the medical journal
articles. There's also a section to request further information from us on any area.
