I agree with that. The only chance HM could ever be affordable from the begining is when the products necessary already exist (and thus are cheap, because they are being manufactured for other purposes already). If some HM involves something that can be patented and manufactoring of that thing controlled, there is no way it would be cheap at the begining.

Speaking of which, there was a great article in Popular Science about recycling “blockbuster” drugs into treatments for neglected diseases. It’s a good read.

Private companies can be scary, let’s hope this will not turn out to be another Gho or Bazan story.

Its not traded, but its investors are. I believe P&G has invested in the start-up, which would mean that if Follica ever goes public, P&G will own a part of them.

that’s another topic for another time.
