DIY Medicine in Action

Insulin can’t be cheap? It can if we start making it ourselves. There’s a neighborhood initiative around curing diseases without the usual medicine approach and it’s happening in our backyard. This initiative is called Open Insulin. This DIY movement, is making medicine accessible and affordable on their terms. One big reason folks here are going without insulin is the price tag.

It takes direct intervention and support. These folks deal more than just with personalgoals – medical standards go into play. Molecular biology can be difficult. Also, manufacturing a medicine like insulin comes with fears of not keeping the standards. Many leaders of Open Insulin are unafraid of diving deep into technical issues.

Trust is a limiting resource- Open Insulin comes up against these limits while findingfilling gaps in today's healthcare system.
