    I wonder if these folks understand about the 500
    million...minimum..required to get each med to market...and
    to pay for the huge proportion that incur this cost and do
    NOT get to market

    the cost of the ingredients is not the issue..

    that IS the issue with your ginseng junk...which can be
    grown in a garden

    which is not cheap either..since it doesn't do squat
    anyway..

    hawki.....

    For a guy who sells massively overpriced ginseng,
    you're awfully intolerant of other people who go for
    the big markups.

    Many of the prices listed are far higher than anyone would
    be likely to be paying. Some of the math (markup
    percentages) is also wrong.

    First of all I haven't sold ginseng to the public for 6
    months or more.

    Second, your opinion about the value of ginseng is stated in
    a vacuumn and is of no value whatsoever.

    Thirdly I didn't write the article nor offer an opinion. The
    people who are condeming your pharmaceutical companies are
    your own government. You really should try to demonstrate
    some tiny bit of integrity.

    Oh, pardon me. Let me rephrase it to "for a guy who used to
    sell massively overpriced ginseng..."

    On the contrary, a little web searching showed that the same
    product was available from sources other than you at a much
    lower price.

    You offered an opinion by posting it in the first place.

    That's hilarious, coming from you, Spammin' Dave. You have
    the integrity of a sewer rat and the morals of a loan shark.
