[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 6468614, member: 19675"] To clarify "efficiency": 1) while your wife does compounding on a daily basis, she's probably not held to the same standards as the guys & gals doing the same work for humans. While what works for humans may be given to animals- I'm sharing an OTC allergy med with one of our Border Collies (both of us on doctors' orders)- it doesn't go the other way. One of my prescriptions is also used in the care of livestock. I see it in feed stores and veterinary practices all over here in Texas. The same daily dose I take at @$200/month (before insurance) is @$6 a jar. But it is not deemed suitable for human consumption. Different additives, different purity levels. 2) while compounding occurs on a daily basis even for humans, the vast majority of pharmaceuticals consumed by humans are not customized but standardized at the paint of manufacture. We simply don't have the tech [I]right now[/I] to customize every prescription for every patient in the USA. This could change that. As for TEDtalks, and how 3D printing is the new black for geekspeak, yeah, you're right. It could be all pie in the sky musings, but the Scots prof isn't exactly a nobody. He's got serious trophies on his mantle for his achievements in chemistry. If the man claims to have created ibuprofen with a 3D printer of some kind, I'm not in a position to debunk him. Could it be he's overestimating the potential of the tech? Overly optimistic about the timetable to economic viability of a nascent tech? Or outright wrong? Committing a fraud? Sure! Anyone can make an error or tell a lie. But, near as I can tell, the only critiques of his claims have been ones such as the difficulties of complying with legal regulations, purity controls and the like, not that what he claims to have done is untrue or impossible.
