Do you think we are being watched, a post from YMB

EVERY MAJOR PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY IN THE WORLD IS WATCHING THIS UNFOLD!!!!'
With the "Bio Monster" Technosphere and the endless possibilities it may be used for in the future, mnkd stands to capture a market in access of 100 billion dollars in 5 to 10 years. This is not a stock you want to sell. Hold and soon you could be getting huge dividends and profit sharing as Technosphere evolves the way we medicate., just imagine, no shots for vaccinations for kids, no more flu shots, no more tetna shots, that's not even bringing up cancer therapy, migraine headaches, obesity, and pain management.
Technosphere will be a paradigm shift in the way life saving medicine is delivered, and it will be faster acting, more convenient, more effective, and less painful as we finally, for the most part, say good bye to the needle.
If you noticed, I was able to talk about several real life scenarios in which Technosphere may be used, some have already started testing, others will come later but not once did I bring up diabetes or afrezza until know.
I am very excited for the diabetics to be able to for the most part, say goodbye to the needle, and with the combination of the insulin pump, the artificial pancreas, and now an ultra rapid acting inhale able insulin like afrezza, diabetics will now be able to keep there blood sugar levels at a more consistent level, avoiding the severe side effects that often follow fluctuating glucose levels. This will save insurance companies billions of dollars each year.
Thank You Al Mann for having the vision, and the tenacity to fight this battle to the end, you have devoted your life to improving the lives of others. You are a great man. Less

rockstarrick, it's customary to allow someone else to point out your posting shortcomings when you mess up, rather than be the only one on your thread!    You've taken some of my enjoyment away - LOL!  I am confident many eyes will be on this launch.

Hey babaoriley, sorry for stealing your fun, yeah, it was weird, everything was there ( copy and pasted) and as soon as I added that smiley face, poof it was gone. I guess when you copy and paste, if you add anything, you need to add it before you paste. Have a good day. RSR

I agree to a point with what you posted. I believe in technosphere, I believe is has great potential. But my concern is replacing needles for tetne,flu,etc. Even with the one time Cricket use, the cost will be so much more then shots. You can get needles very cheap. Many places use guns for vaccines. How much will a Cricket cost per use? No way it can be made cheaper then a needle. JMOA

[rockstarrick]

I agree, many single use drugs may keep the needle, but imagine tapping into pain management, obesity, cancer, migraines !!!! The market for Technosphere just might exceed our wildest expectations. I can only imagine how every Major Biopharmaceutical Company is watching this little Company called Mannkind. Al Mann has once again pulled off what other Companies with extremely deep pockets wouldn't even attempt. Appreciate your input, thanks. RSR

biotec, with all due respect I am not sure about your premise... while needles may be less expensive there are factors (depending on the drug etc...) for example, the cricket flu vaccine as I understand it does not need to be refrigerated so while it may not be cheaper it has tremendous value for the 3rd world where lack of electricity and refrigeration can be a problem and coincidently where most major flu epidemics originate.

Also needles have other issues such as disposal and reuse, even the needles for a reusable pen were recently reused (misused) to give injections in a hospital causing the need for testing of hepatitis etc... Also every time you puncture the skin you allow for the potential of an ancillary infection (although admittedly rare) so there may be a variety of reasons that inhalers do become the standard for dispersing many meds.

Big question will be long term effects on the lungs... and that may depend on the application of the med being administered.

[rockstarrick]

I tend to agree with you, even if Technosphere isn't used for some drugs, if we can tap into the ones listed on the Mannkind a Technologies site, the market will be huge. I can't wait for the first medicine other than insulin to be delivered via Technosphere, that's when this will become very interesting. RSR

It sounds like you had your content "selected" and then when you typed in something else, it just replaced what was there.

Control-Z is your friend. If a keystroke does something funky, just immediately press Control-Z and it will "undo" whatever it was you just did.

Got it, thanks for the tip.  RSR

Good points mannmade, But the money is in developed countries. How is the third world going to pay for the cricket?

It is not the cost of the device that is important, but rather the.cost of administration. How much does it cost to have a nurse administer the injection? Think about how much cheaper a flu vaccination would be if you could go to your local pharmacy, buy a cricket flu vaccine and inhale it yourself without a nurse.

World Health Org, US, Europe, etc any country potentially effected by a flu pandemic...

For non-diabetic applications:

I'm not sure that the inhalation technique would be consistent enough across the affected populations, to render the predictable dosing required. Especially if one is ill...that "inhale" could be rather weak.

Needles still deliver very predictably consistent doses. Where there is little tolerance for deviation from the recommended dose, I would not think inhalation would work adequately.
