Four Thieves Vinegar Collective has made DIY medicine cheaper and more accessible to the masses.

Sharing because I found this very interesting.

The Four Thieves Vinegar Collective has a DIY design for a home lab you can set up to reproduce expensive medication for dirt cheap, producing medication like that used to cure Hepatitis C, along with software they developed that can be used to create chemical compounds out of common household materials.

    Here’s a fun thought, the drug you make fails but doesn’t kill you.

    Instead you now have another life long ailment that cause pain/degradation of daily life.

    Sounds like a great idea.

        Commercial drugs are giving people life long diseases on top of the ones they’re trying to cure?

        News to me, got any source?

          The most notorious is probably thalidomide, but there are plenty others on this list of withdrawn drugs that cause long-term side effects.
