You can use these "electronic meetings" to consult with others regarding medication, health food, insurance, and others. You can also help others in your newsgroup by advising them, based on your own experience. Plus, you can receive information on additional Web sites that deal with health. Newsgroups also serve a very practical purpose: for example, if a medication you need is temporarily unavailable in your country, people in your newsgroup may be able to order it in theirs, and send it to you.
