If i am lucky enough to avoid dying il die anyway within a few years. being dependent on medication that expires, sucks ๐๐
Can you get equipment and recipes to synthesise these meds yourself or have someone do it? Befriend some pharmacists and pharma PhDs?
e.g. the DIY bioreactor with fully open source specs and instructions published by Four Thieves Vinegar Collective
depending on the compound it could be anywhere from easy to impossible, but most likely it's just hard but still possible
I mean, you're not doing huge batches. If my life depended on meds I'd be damned if I didn't learn how to cook them myself or with the help of my PhD friends ๐
Insulin, i know you could get it from pigs, and synthetic. But I have no real clue what's involved in either.
