Big Pharma - a term used in a negative context about the ills of the pharmaceutical industry.

So, assuming there are actually some better more natural remedies, how do you get an entity to do the proper research on a common substance that has no real profit incentive? Particularly when there is big money in highly complex synthesis, which a company can monopolize for quite a while by ownership of the rights to their creation?

The absolute cheapest estimation of drug development from start to approval I could find was $350 million. That's the lowball quote!!!

People profit on B****** that doesn't actually accomplish anything. That being the case, one would think it would be a cinch to profit on B******* that actually effectuates the advertised benefits.
