Hi Dale,
Like you said, there is currently:
misc.health.alternative
The description for that newsgroup is, "Alternative, complementary and holistic health care."
This group was created in 1992 and the charter is as follows:
misc.health.alternative is a newsgroup for general non-technical
discussion (pro *and* con) of health care and therapies which are
alternative, complementary, or not commonly accepted by Western
scientific medicine.
Appropriate topics include (but are not limited to): acupuncture,
Alexander technique, alternative cancer therapies, aromatherapy,
ayurveda, chiropractic, color therapy, healing, herbalism, holistic
dentistry, holistic medicine, homeopathy, hypnosis, iridology,
macrobiotics, meditation, megavitamin therapy, midwifery, naturopathy,
natural vision improvement (Bates method, etc.), osteopathy,
radiesthesia, reflexology, shiatsu and do-in, traditional medicine
(Arab, Chinese, Native American, etc.), and yoga.
Flames, name-calling, and abusive behavior in general (from either
side) are not welcome, but constructive criticisms and arguments are
encouraged, with the caveat that misc.health.alternative is to be a
generally non-technical consumer level discussion group.
We can talk about creating a new newsgroup but we don't want to create
one when there are already newsgroups that may suit that purpose. Email
us a board@big-8.org if you want to go forward with creating a group. One thing that we ask first is that you know in advanced that there are
people wanting such a group.

It would be nice that when you use your reader to search for a group to >subscribe to that it considers the description as well as the title.

would be nice if a search for groups on readers/clients used more than groupname?
add description and charter? a configuration option?

I see that you're using Thunderbird which works fine as a newsreader, but it leaves a lot to be desired. News servers usually use the ISC file that Adam referred to as their current list of newsgroups and then they add in additional newsgroups as needed. Some newsreaders will show the descriptions along with the names, but not many.
News servers do not cache the list of charters because they aren't stored anywhere in a format that can be easily found the way that the newsgroup
list is. I recently wrote a guide on how to find charters for yourself here: https://www.big-8.org/wiki/How_to_Find_a_Charter. I just posted it to news.announce.newusers also. We'll see if anyone is listening there and if
it gets approved.

the ftp URL doesn't come up in my browser, just a blank screen
I am using the default Windows browser, chromium/edge
I remember when browsers supported FTP, did they stop?
will think about filezilla
doesn't make the group descriptions and charter available to
client/reader group search for everyone
Thank You Adam !!!!
