Four Thieves Vinegar Collective has made DIY medicine cheaper and more accessible to the masses.

Sharing because I found this very interesting.

The Four Thieves Vinegar Collective has a DIY design for a home lab you can set up to reproduce expensive medication for dirt cheap, producing medication like that used to cure Hepatitis C, along with software they developed that can be used to create chemical compounds out of common household materials.

      Thanks lol. The thing is, they’re getting away with this. Forcing Freestyle to open their protocol would instantly solve all of those problems, as you could use good hardware with good software, since you’d no longer be locked in.
