CureZone just got a new site: CureZone Open Knowledge Base

What is The CureZone Open Knowledge Base?

• It is a hierarchically organized database storing collections of frequently asked questions on Alternative Medicine, Health and other subjects.  You are asking questions and you are answering them. The database is open to You.

How can you use Open Knowledge Base?

• This Knowledge Base is called Open cause it is you who decides what it will contain.
• You can ask questions and you can answer the questions.
• You can edit your question unlimited number of times.
• You can edit your answers unlimited number of times. You can use a plain text editor, or one of 2 HTML editors (FCK or TinyMCS).  Answers can contain embedded images, links, and can be HTML formatted.
• You can not edit questions and answers posted by other users.
• You can create a collection of Frequently Asked Questions on any subject of your interest
• You can read questions and answers, there are already over 200 questions and over 200 answers.
• Every subject has it's own page. There are over 3000 subjects and the list is growing every day.
• Every question has it's over page.
• You can subscribe to a question with a single click. Once you subscribe to a question, you will receive an email notification every time the question is answered.
• You can subscribe to a subject with a single click. Once you subscribe to a subject, you will receive an email notification every time a new question has been posted on the subject page or every time a new answer has been posted to any of the questions on that subject.
• If you subscribe both to a question and to a subject, you will receive only one email notification.
• More then one person can answer to any of the questions.
• The same person can ask a question and can answer the same question. (This is not allowed in Forums.)
• You can vote on every single answer. Answers are sorted by the number of votes. The more votes, the closer to the top of the page is the answer.
• You can copy your own question over to other relevant categories.  That way, more people will read it and more people will answer the same question.
• You can suggest a new category.

What is the difference between CureZone Forums and The Open Knowledge Base?

• Forums can also be used for creating a collection of Frequently Asked Questions and CureZone forums have been used for creating FAQs on Liver Flush, Bowel Cleanse, Parasites, Candida, ...
• The main difference is that forums are specifically designed for discussions, while  The Open Knowledge Base is specifically designed for creating collections of FAQ.
• It is far easier to create a collection of FAQ on the Knowledge Base then it is to create it on forums, cause forums are not 100% open, you need to ask for it.
• In Forums, good questions and good answers get mixed with discussion, making it hard to find, and any collection of FAQ looses on it's quality, when it gets watered by discussion.
• In The Knowledge Base: all questions on the same subject are listed on the same page.
• In The Knowledge Base: all answers to the same question are listed on the same page, easy to read and easy to evaluate.
• In The Knowledge Base: questions are short, just one or 2 sentences while in forums a question can often be longer then an answer.

Some of the most often asked questions on CureZone forums are:

• What Alternative Cancer Therapies should I try?
• What should I eat? What diet should I follow?
• Could Amalgam be responsible for my health problems?
• What is a liver flush?
• What is a bowel cleanse?
• What is the average size of a male reproductive organ?

Here are a few FAQs from The Open Knowledge Base addressing some of those questions:

• Knowledge Base > Conditions and Diseases > Cancer > Alternative Cancer Therapies
• Knowledge Base > Nutrition > Diets
• Knowledge Base > Dentistry > Amalgam
• Knowledge Base > Alternative Medicine > Cleansing > Liver Cleanse
• Knowledge Base > Alternative Medicine > Cleansing > Bowel Cleanse
• Knowledge Base > Sex & Sexuality > Male Reproductive Organ Size
