Does your liquid cocktail have a long shelf life? I could understanding hoarding something like that for your own use very easily. Eventually, you would use it all.On meds...
I went thru 7 GI doctors for my masssive gut issues.
Last one gave me a sample of a drug cocktail invented in the 70's and was widely used.
Newer designer drugs meant to replace it didn't help me at all.
Switch to Kaiser and it's not on their 'approved to keep in stock' list.
Pills (which don't help near as well) cost me $350 out of pocket.
Liquid per bottle (which gives me almost instant relief) costs me $650 each out of pocket.
I can't afford either so I am SOL and just have to do my best with diet - it's not always reliable and I still have nights where I am dang near in tears from the cramps that go along with my issue for 6-10 hours.
This was developed in the 70's and they have more then made their profit back from R&D.
Maybe it isn't produced in enough quantity but though my previous insurance they would give me two bottles a month for my low co-pay.
Big pharma is a scam and they are in the business of keeping people sick and not curing them - their profit shares would go way down if the my actually helped people.
Sorry rant over
