So I have a drug that cures metabolic syndrome (high blood sugar, pressure, and cholestrol).

I've had the opportunity to sell it for 5 mil plus 3% royalties: which is bullshit tiddlywinks compared to how much I'd make if I sold it myself.

The secret is that I figured out my drug from analyzing dietary habits that work for metabolic syndrome.

I've been thinking about selling the dietary equivalent to raise capital so I don't need VC money.

Good idea or no?

I'd sell it because you don't want to deal with pharmaceutical companies. Just take the 5M and move on. They will do whatever it takes to crush you since you stand in their way. Don't get involved. It's such a hassle to deal with VCs and term sheets and cliffs. Take the 5M and ask for 5% royalty.

If your drug actually works, then 5 mil + 3% royalties is enough to live off for 20 years (or however long patents last for drugs). Sure you could make more managing sales yourself, but IMO the extra money isn't worth the time. Although, if running that kind of business is something you would find fulfilling, then go for it.


As for selling the diet, I don't think that would be an effective way to raise capital. I guess that would mean basically selling a book with meal plans? Seems like you wouldn't make nearly enough to start a small drug company. VC money sounds like a necessary starting point for your plan. You will still make a fuckload if it works though.

no offense but how the fuck could this work? metabolic syndrome isn't a condition as much as a 'prediagnosis'. if you have metabolic syndrome it pretty much means you're guaranteed to develop diabetes in the future -- or at least thats what i read.

the cause of metabolic syndrome, and even the diagnosis are also really murky.

what exactly does 'cured' mean to you? do these people not develop diabetes?

oh thats pretty cool. seems like the insulin resistance and the hypertension/dyslipema might not be directly related, so a treatment that alleviates them both would be pretty helpful.

however if what it does is alleviate insulin resistance and hypertension, i wouldn't necessarily goes as far as to call it a cure for metabolic syndrome, but a treatment. but it sounds like it could help a lot of people, so i hope you put that first and foremost above money, cause a lot of fatties be dying out here.

well i mean, if you eat like shit, never exercise, and have a genetic predisposition to metabolic syndrome fasting isn't enough, because you're not changing the underlying causes. also youre not really going to heal the damage that is done, like, the amount of cellular stress you've done to your body will not just be undone.

which is why its kind of weird to say you have a cure for it.

i guess i kind of took what he was saying as that he was treating the genetic aspect of it, like, there is a cure for fat, sedentary people -- good diet and exercise. but some people are just genetically fucked, and some people get this syndrome and others don't, and i thought he was more saying he found some genetic link and had a cure or something to a genetic disorder that increases the likelihood of the syndrome or something

One concern I'd have if they did give you royalties but then didn't do anything with the drug or modified it slightly to avoid paying you, seems like it would be difficult to write a contract that lets you win out.

Herbalist anon here. There are several such herbs that already fix this. You will not be able to legally make the claims that it can treat these disorders without the FDA up your ass.

Best you can do is have someone who doesn't sell the product directly write a blog website that makes the claims and have them link to you.

I won't steal your product, as I just generally provide herbs and supplements to the masses without any key specifics that I market, but I am curious as to what the natural equivalent to this is. If you share yours, I will share mine. But mine is readily available and abundant, and goes for at most $3.00 an oz. Even cheaper in native markets.

I will give you a hint in case we are working with the same plant. It is a somewhat common spice.
