Update on the blog

Hello everyone,

It gives me great satisfaction to see all of you visiting and participating in this blog. I hope you find it to be a place of refuge where you can feel at home, where you can sit back, relax, and find much needed information. I also encourage everyone to participate in the polls because this tells the experts that we have the numbers and the drive to participate in surveys and questionnaires for research purposes in an effort to actively seek a cure to our respective medical malodor diseases.

Let me tell you a bit about how the blog has done in the past 2 days since its launch. These last 2 days, so many people have visited and actively participate in reading through the posts, filling out the polls, emailing recommendations and comments to me. Today was busier than yesterday. Yesterday we had close to 30 new visitors, and today close to 60 visitors (some repeat visitors), and most returned at least once each day. About half participated in the polls, so I think that in addition to sufferers’ visit, there must also be family members, students, physicians, researches, and other non-sufferers.

The blog you’ve seen now is only the skeleton of what I envision it to be. It is going to be nipped and trimmed, and developed to bring this effort to much greater heights, but it is totally and completely dependent on the participation and commitment from both, sufferers and experts. I am so inspired to see the tremendous initial response, and I thank you all.
