There is no business model to make any significant money, let alone
trillions.

1. The company would have to start by funding research, which costs.

2. Given the level of public miseducation about cs etc, it would all be
an uphill battle, requiring marketing money too.

3. And wheres the cash cow? There is none. Cs is not patentable, nor a
trade secret, nor does it require anything more than 10 bucks of kit to
make. Every tom *** and harry will make it, and do so without the huge
costs already borne by the company. Its a business non starter.

4. Hence no marketing, no expensive research, etc.

Effective Topical treatment of warts is long established. Topical
Acetic acid is used today, and was used as far back as the 30s, and
works very well. No mystery there.

to be more exact, it sounds like other than what youve been led to
believe.

But you have a point: in the absence of fully hard proven facts, you
associate it with other similar claims, most of which turned out to be
snake oil. Understandable, but not really proof of anything.

T be more accurate we should say that some of such claims of
antibacterial.fungal/viral properties of various odds and ends have
turned out to be true before, though most have not.


> - no hard evidence,

thats the number 1 problem. There is no business model to pay for hard
evidence. There are various studies, but the sources, methods etc are
basically unknown and thus uncertain.


> lots of assumptions.

what assumptions? Who is making them? It either works or doesnt, its
really that simple in principle. These discussions are solely for those
of you who are too lazy to do the experiment and find out. And imho
will never convince. It costs $10CDN to go find out.

whos paying? Ah, no-one.

It'll cost you $10CDN and 15 minutes.
