You know it will definitely gather income. Good for you. Rehashing unresearched claims that have yet to be clinically trialled is not OK.

Timeline of medicine development For every marketed medicine that makes enough money to pay for its development, about 25,000 chemical compounds were tested, on average 25 of these will have gone into clinical trials and five received approval for marketing. Our timeline of medicine development shows the stages a…
