The first iteration will have four groups of 10 in order to obtain a concise testing window. Hence we will test the effects of 10mg, 5mg, 1mg, and a control group. These subjects will take the pill daily in the morning then four hours later their blood will be tested for the concentration of the lipopolysaccharide. This process will be carried out for one week. After the data is compiled a second test will be preformed 3 weeks after initial testing. Dosage will be determined by taking the two doses with the most effect and using 1 mg intervals between the two sets. A third test will be preformed 3 weeks later at a dosage varience of .2 mg *Bradley Taylor 19:17, 20 January 2016 (EST): Test one: Group 1: control Group 2: 10mg Group 3: 5mg Group 4: 1mg Test two:[example:assumed that 5mg had less of an effect and 1mg had a minimal effect] Group 1: 9mg Group 2: 8mg Group 3: 7mg Group 4: 6mg Test three:[example: assumed that 9mg and 8mg had as much effect as 10mg but 6mg had a reduced effect] Group 1: 7.2mg Group 2: 7.4mg Group 3: 7.6mg Group 4: 7.8mg Age 55-80yrs Number of subjects per group 10 subjects per group Subject Selection Inclusion/Exclusion Subject selection will be or a volunteer basis then they will be tested for good general health. Patients with inflammatory diseases or immunodeficences will be excluded. Patients taking medication for inflammation will be excluded. Randomization Subjects will be varied by ethnicity, age(with in the set), and wieght. Bradley Taylor 19:18, 20 January 2016 (EST): Sources of Error and Bias Individual subjects my have conditions that predispose them to inflammation, or reduced effect of anti inflammatory drugs Individual being allergic to the medication The medication being given a too low of a does and not having an effect on the individual Random interference from outside sources may cause error. *Bradley Taylor 19:18, 20 January 2016 (EST):
