Inode, There are people out there looking for opportunities to make a ton of money. But few are interested in true repurposing. Again, you really don't know WTF you're talking about. A drug that is repurposed for another use can be VERY lucrative, and there is a ton of VC money chasing after this. I am unaware of anything that is blocking interest in repurposing. Yes, I'm a true believer. But every day, I take Curcumen/Phytosome for pain, and if I don't take it my pain levels increase materially (I also take three other drugs daily for the same pain). Millions besides me do the same. But because I don't go to a fucking drugstore to get it, no one researches it. Same with other so-called "supplements" -- drugs that have been used for centuries to treat various problems. Supplements and other "alternative" health treatments are already a huge market. Various studies have been conducted on them with very inconsistent results. Steve Jobs, for example, was a huge believer in "alternative supplements," even when it came to treating his own cancer. His mentor Andy Grove believed Jobs died too soon as a result. Tenchusatsu
