Ill quote from another thread: as I hope it sheds some light,

Quote:
no, its true... see the problem is that clinical trials (double blind) cost upwards of 1.5 million dollars. These trials are what is required in order to 1. patent a formula 2. mass market the benefits, 3. present it to physicians so they can diagnose and treat the disease, and 4. gain fda approval.

Unfortunately, for each product you are looking at 3-5 years of testing and trials in order for it to gain acceptence in the medical field. This is why you hear pharmaceutical companies always talking about their "pipeline". Take pfizer for example, patent expiration will definatley hurt them, but whether or not they have good products in their pipeline will determine the success of the company.

With andvancements in bio-engineering, it is actually posible to produce compounds that are all-natural and can replicate many synthetic benefits of other drugs, for far less of a cost and little or no side-effects.. (look at homeopathic hgh for example)

Also, it is a common confusion that by looking at the nutritional (ingredient info) on the side of these natural products bottles, that one could easily replicate these formulas. That is a far cry from the truth. It is impossible to replicate most neutraceuticals without the factory flow sheets or certificates of analysis. (even placing products under a spectrometer will not disclose its true formulation)
HGH is a dangerous, but hgh antagonists are safe and the most effective therapy available at the moment,
