Will you tell your clients what exact drugs you will give them or their pet? I mean, patients have a right to know this information, right?
Interesting question, by the way. If they will tell, it can help their competitors to steal the approach, if not - clients may say no to the treatment.
Yeap, I have same thoughts. I'm interested how will they solve this problem in case it is a problem.
Well, I think that we should wait for Gary. He will give you the answer as he always do. But, I'm curious about it too.
Kira I am assuming you are talking about me answering the questions above.
First, all patients and dog owners will have to sign an Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA). And if they ask we will tell them, the drugs and that it is a proprietary treatment and they will be bound by the NDA.
But.... think about the last time you had any treatment or surgery for that matter on yourself. If any of your have. This is how it usually goes. They will tell you the potential dangers and such but at least for me I have never see a list of drugs or even the method they used. I have had both back surgery and eye surgery. And they told me about how long the surgery would be, and how long the recovery would be and what after care i would need to do. Never was I told every drug they would be using. The exactly surgical method and tools. If I asked they would certainly tell me and they will be on their medical records but medical records are protected.
Or if you bring in your dog for surgery. You don't get to go in with the dog while they are doing the surgery and see what they are using. A It is the same when we treat a dog.
So the short answer. We will tell them is if they ask and I will tell them they are bound by a NDA. The NDA will be part of the papers they sign before hand. We will always tell them what they can expect from using our treatment and after care.
There is another reason we are very hesitant to give out all the drugs in this treatment and need to protect it with a NDA. You all know the one drug is a chemotherapy drug. Actually a combo of several drugs depending on the type of cancer. The other drug, is in some place, no longer needs a prescription to get it and it can be purchase in those areas over the counter. So if there is someone who is or their dog is, being treated by a doctor or vet with chemo and they find out what this other drug is, they could say "Hey I should try that." And they go, on their own, and buy the other drug and take the other drug at home while having the chemo in their system. And they do this without supervision of a doctor or vet, proper dosage or strict protocol, they could literally kill themselves. And who do you think is going to be blamed? But if we protect our treatment, have all patients sign NDA, AND tell everyone this treatment should only be given and used under the supervision of a doctor or veterinarian, then we are legally protected and more importantly so are dogs and people.
