• Include pictures

Part 4: 

• Using all your research, design a cure protocol for yourself 9or family member) to follow. Lay it step by step in detail.
• Using the scientific method, suggest a protocol for determining whether your cure will work on you  (or your family member). I require some thoughtful and thorough steps here. Please make sure you clearly label the steps of the scientific method. Review Module 1 if necessary.

Conclusion

• Come to a personal conclusion about your treatment.
• Are you going to try the cure you designed? Why or why not?

Details

• Please also include a word count. The minimum requirement is 3000 words.

• When you turn in your paper as an attachment make sure the file is labeled with the name of the disease you studied not the name of the assignment, please.

• You have three weeks to work on this so use each week for a different section and turn in what you have. failure to turn in unfinished work along the way will lower your final grade. Avoid last minute crises.
