I think before we go bashing Temecula and Sports we might want to do some due diligence. Temecula has a very good income base, great education ratings, a very affluent tourist base and some big companies there. The one that is most interesting is Abbot Labs in particular Guidant who works on cardiac intervention. If memory serves well MNKD is working on an inhaled drug for Cardio. Anyway Temecula is not the wagon wheel hub that some suggest. GL!!

[clipped]. Anyway Temecula is not the wagon wheel hub that some suggest. GL!! I don't recall saying that Temecula was a hub for anything.

More good news:-) A consultant with MNKD who had been interduced to Dr. Combs through E-mail by me started talking on the phone and ended up agreeing on a time to get together. Dr. Combs told me he was very impressed with the man. That he was passionate about Afrezza and very articulate! Thursday morning Dr. Combs came into the gym and we did cardio together. He was excited. He said he had his first person he could put on Afrezza! ( Think ten times Dr.Oz! ) Then he asked what time the man from MNKD was coming Friday. I told him that he was coming early and getting a work-out in with me, and then was meeting with Dr. Rahman. www.ranchofamilymed.com/our-staff/providers/dr-maisara-rahman/Walt said, great! Tell him I'll meet him on the courts at 8:00 and will get a game of hoops in. I'm thinking.. this is going to be awesome! More time to talk about Afrezza. It all worked out as planned:-) They played hoops for about 10 min and then Walt, his brother, Walts CEO of Rancho Medical were all in a hurdle talking and hearing about the wonders of TS and Afrezza. I was with my client Tom who has the teens on Afrezza so we were all there. As Walts CEO ( Josh Snow) was leaving I ran and got my dreamboat I keep in my bag to show people. I caught up with him and demonstrated how to load it and then took a long deep breath in... held it for 3 seconds and blew it out. And said, It's just freedom! He's eyes got as big as saucers, I've never been able to hold this mans attention for so long. I told him about Tom's kids and that whole story. He was mesmerized! And just said. This is going to be big! Being very encouraged by that I then went and showed my boss who was teaching a cross fit class to a bunch of rich business men. He stopped the class and they all watched as I showed them the dreamboat. Then they started asking me about MNKD and SNY and the story of what happened. One said, this is ground floor stuff! What's the ticker? In the mean time the consultant is still talking to Walt. Then later in the day he met with Dr. Rahman and gave her a presentation on Afrezza. She is the one who is in charge of the diabetic seminar. Which has been postponed a month. ( Walt has been flying back and forth to Haiti ) An early adapter called in and gave his testimony to Dr. Rahman. She was very impressed and plans for a presentation at the seminar are forthcoming:-)). Stay-tuned Well done, Sports. Here here! But seriously, we cannot invent this stuff. It is time for another x-files episode!An anonymous consultant, known as “the Man”, is engaged through the Dark Web. He arrives and begins giving presentations to a strange cabal of doctors operating through a fitness-center storefront in Temecula, CA. Dr. Combs, Dr. Rahman and another code-named “Walt” with connections to Haiti, are instantly mesmerized and take testimony from a community called ‘the adapters’, including early adolescent test subjects. They then become agents of a new, world-changing project. It is a clandestine project, previously under the control of members of the government and a large pharmaceutical company, of which the public remains suspiciously unaware, and is simply called “Dreamboat”.

Along the lines of getting the story out, has anyone approached NPR about the Mankind story, Afrezza and BP? If not, I think I shall. Can anyone point me to a good and accurate summary of all this because I may not be the best at explaining all that went/is going on.

I think the NPR idea is a great one. They are always sharing great stories of underdogs that come out on top. I have been a member of this forum for over a year and find it helpful to hear new ideas shared on a company that hopefully will turn out to be one of those great success stories. Forgive that I am still trying to figure out how to successfully post something instead of just replying to other member's posts. Thanks for your patience. I was watching the news yesterday morning. The story was about the upcoming flu season and how parents need to make sure that their kids get their flu shots. Then the video came up and showed various kids getting shots. The tears were flowing freely from all of these kids. (I think we all know how kids hate shots!) I truly believe that Mnkd is on track with JDRF to make inhalable insulin a reality for millions of kids (and their parents). These kids (and their parents) are traumatized by shots! We can thank Mike C for his work thus far in putting together a salesforce that is just getting started. Why would he have left a company that was doing well to come to a company that is going to go bankrupt? Cant believe that he would. Al Mann obviously believed in Matt P to the point of making him the man charged with fulfilling his the legacy with Mannkind. It is all about the patients and the doctors. If it works then it will be successful. Too many millions worldwide need access to Afrezza. My thought is that we should all keep the faith. I personally own over 30,000 shares. It has been truly frustrating to witness the continual assaults on the company and the product from Motley Foll articles and from Seeking Alpha. I can only believe that they have a hidden agenda in hoping that this company and this product fail. Those who spread FUD on stocktwits are no better. They must be paid for their attacks. Otherwise why would they bother to mess with a small company like Mannkind? Thanks to all of those who post here and for the administrators who make sure that we all stay on track with the good news of hope for millions of diabetics worldwide. It is always darkest before the dawn.

I like the idea of an NPR story but it may be best to wait until sales turn around. They wouldn't do a bash piece, even in the interest of journalistic balance, but if the bottom line is that the drug is a commercial failure, that's not good. A much better story is that the drug is great, the company overcame many obstacles, some unfair, and is on the brink of great success.
If we separate the company/stock challenges from those of the drug, our success really comes down to how well Mike and his team can sell Afrezza. Sure there are label issues and such but those will be less of a problem if doctors see their initial Afrezza patients doing well and are inspired to write more scripts.

Agreed. Patients do well...more scripts written...more money created to pursue the possible ephipen replacement therapy...more scripts written...more money generated to expand the potential of technosphere applications...the whole world benefits from the legacy of genius and wealth created by Al Mann and his foundation.

Wow, that's a big contribution. Thanks for your efforts. Please let us know once the MNKD rep has spoken with the medical group and what was their impression.
thanks !
