Personal Production of Drugs
Well, the title of this post isn't exactly a reflection of what this is about, but you all know you need something catchy on the titles :)
On this matter, there is a new vision about the
future of pharmaceutical drugs
and it is to use 3D printers for doing your prescription medicines.
This would open up the possibilities for small pharmaceutical places to
print out their own prescription drugs and make the access to medicine
cheaper. This also would enable the final customer to print their own
prescription drugs with a combination of chemical products, so it can do
it without leaving the house, and we might even get our own personalized design.
We still might have to wait 20 years, but that's an interesting project. The fact that medicine will become more accessible might help to finally eliminate so much child mortality in places of the world where people are still dying for cholera, or similar stuffs which are so easy to prevent or heal.
It might also be a way of finally getting on the people hands the cure of many sickness like Cancer or HIV just playing with the components of drugs and then printing out the results.
3D printers usually work with a gel which prints the shapes on layers, so they become usable. I believe that the fact this experimentation might take the way we perceive medicine to the next level is very accurate, and someday we will be able of free ourselves of the pharmaceutical slavers and get our way to freedom.
Sadly, the next step would be to be slave of the technology companies, but we can always learn how to program, therefore, write our own code to make things our way.
The tools are out there we just must start using them :)
Thanks for reading the Metal Grunge
Have a great rest of the week. It's Wednesday and Friday it's just around the corner :)
