RE:This is why formulations took so long, great strategy!That explains a lot. Plus VM still has the generics to fall back on. Should be a 20 yr. patent on these formulas and another company would have to find a natural deposit. Superior product and 20 yrs. protection plus the Rain Cage stuff should make VM very interesting to the big boys. These boys certainly were not sitting idle.(I also understand the frustration that people have but from the asks most are hanging on th their shares very tightly)
