An ICO can be launched on Ethereum or EOS to fund the random control trial for Cyclodextrin and to produce a supplement. A subscription model can be used to pre-sell the supplement and the money from sales can be used to buyback the token held by token holders who contributed to the presale.
I'm in agreement. When you size up these recent ICOs vs. the amount needed for this and other major medical breakthroughs, you're 100% right and this absolutely could be a profound way to start funding all sorts of research.
So why don't you and others blog about this topic so more awareness can be brought to it? I'll upvote you if you bring it to my attention.
Since we are all humans and all get the same diseases eventually we all have an incentive to want to fund something like this if it has a good chance of success.
I'm with u @dana-edwards I took a screenshot of your comment as a reminder to research and blog around this topic in the near future. Best wishes to you!
