STUDY INTEGRITY

 

Hello everyone I am so grateful to all the people who have been carrying the study forward while I enjoyed the Fiji Mission trip and the Mississippi relief trip.

 

Each person in the study is very important to the study especially the controls.

 

We have been given a lot of product and in return we need compliance and accurate information. If I fail to have completed numbers then the study is not valid and the free product disappears.

 

I want to thank everyone who has been filling out all the information and it will especially be important for the controls to fill out the questionnaire. The questionnaire will be available in electronic format so that people at a distance can fill out the information on a monthly basis. God has brought you to the study and God will get you through the study.

 

Having an accurate record of your experience will help others with scleroderma.

 

It is of vital importance that you continue to take all the product and faithfully fill out the questionnaire monthly.

 

I am humbled by your efforts and so I want to thank each one of you for your continued or renewed faithfulness in reporting.

 

Without you there is no study. Without your information there is no validity to the study. Without your efforts there is no study and no more free product so thank you once again for your willingness to make this happen.

 

I am praying that all of you will greatly benefit from your participation in this study.
