Case Health Asks Women to Stop Being Mum ... about their health success stories
"Ask any group of mums if they need an effective, natural treatment alternative for head lice and you'll hear a resounding 'yes'," said Cris Kerr. "There are alternative treatments. It's just that no-one knows about them because they're not universally shared."
(PRWEB) September 15, 2004 -- Ms Kerr is willing to bet there are mothers out
there who've been devising and succeeding with their own health treatments for a
very long time - long before chemical treatments became available. It is no
secret that women are fabulous communicators and carers. As mothers, they must
be. The problem, according to Ms Kerr, is that their successes are usually only
shared with family and friends. "The rest of us don't get to hear about it.
Worse, these successes are never recorded."
"Women represent societies
first point of care. I doubt anyone would argue with that. They are caring for
husbands, daughters, sons, mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, and
friends on a daily basis but no-one is asking them what works. Their success
stories need to be shared freely with others and recorded for their own and
their children's future."
Ms Kerr saw room for improvement on what was
available so three years ago she created the website 'Case Health - Health
Success Stories'. "To my knowledge it was and still is the only site of its
type. The site does not sell anything, is independent, and is not aligned to any
health product. Searches are free."
The website presents health success
stories from a personal, patient perspective, and yes, it does contain a
treatment for head lice which just happens to be Ms Kerr's own story and
preferred method. Ms Kerr says her story is likely to be only one of
many.
"Let's look at this from another perspective. The medical and
scientific communities present clinical research results, or if you like;
evidence-based health information. What database should be complete without a
corroborating record of the patient's experience? Doesn't it make sense to
record the value of a treatment from the patient's perspective?"
Ms Kerr
is asking women to stop being mum about their successes; "Come to 'Case Health -
Health Success Stories' and share your successes with the worldwide internet
community. Share any health success story as long as it involves improvement to
someone's health or quality of life. Any subject - warts to head lice to cancer,
and any method - traditional western medicine or alternative."
"Tell your
stories and help build a database of what works for future generations. Ask your
mothers for their stories. You never know, you may help a complete stranger on
the other side of the world or inspire scientific research and
discovery."
So what does Ms Kerr get out of it? "The warm and fuzzies. As
a woman, I wanted to build something of value to the community. I believe this
is a desire inherent in women. As a mother and a carer, I want to find the best
treatment and the shortest path to helping those I love."
