[Open-access] I think "Who Needs Access?" is ready to go

Tue Feb 21 08:44:10 UTC 2012

I have contacts with the Dutch Lyme disease patient association. A friend
of mine is regional coordinator and I explained to him about @ccess and
showed him the WhoNeedsAccess site.He wiil get the information to the
Board. I think they will be interested to particicipate. I have done
research on Lyme disease myself and so I know how much confusion exists on
treatment possibilities, detection, symptoms etc. They (the patients) have
a hard time finding information
