Hi all, I would sincerely like your response to the following: A fellow activist of mine asked me to post the following message to try to stimulate a discussion. I have posted one or two of these "What If?" statements hoping to find like minded activists, i.e., PWPs who would like help speed-up a cure. Let's give it a go. Thanks! Charlotte Mancuso /////////////////////////////// Do you want a cure? Do you think biotech and pharmaceutical companies are working aggressively enough on it? What if we helped them see the value of a cure to them? What if we can demonstrate to the pharmaceutical companies that it is more profitable and in their best interests to fund developing a cure instead of developing maintenance drugs? Who has any ideas? How much would you really pay them for a "PD cure pill"? $5,000? $20,000? $? Could anyone help develop a sound business case? Would you pay what it would cost you for of a 15 year supply of Mirapex up front for the "PD cure pill" even if your insurance did not cover it? Or that + $5,000+? Are there any other strategic business planners / thought leaders who would like to form a small team to address this issue and make this what if a reality? If so, please reply to this message with your ideas, background, and how we can contact you. Thanks.
