X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Status: O Content-Length: 541 Lines: 9 Part of the issue about any information flow, including health, is that there is a normal [think bell curve] way people get information. At the far left side of the curve are the 'innovators'. These are the folks who look to the experts, who try out new methods or medicines. Next are the leaders, who take the experience of the innovators and use it. The majority of people [ the hump of the curve] look to the leaders for information. Most people do not search out the experts for the most "official" information. Sarah Beaman-J0nes
