That's because doctors would rather prescribe medication that's FDA approved with numerous side affects than a product that's non-FDA approved with zero known side- affects. At least here in the good 'ol US of A! IMO
One problem with that concept and that's the fact that it would be ILLEGAL for him to market the product for any indication for which it has not been approved by the FDA. To date, Actipatch has ONLY been approved for treatment of swelling following eye surgery, by prescription only. Taking a trip around the country to market it for any other purpose would land him with heavy fines and possibly jail time.
