Fortunately the FDA is quite used (and resistant) to lobbying from companies that would eat Theranos for breakfast if they wanted to. E.g. Pfizer had "Other operating expenses" in 2010 bigger than the entire much-hyped $9 billion valuation of Theranos.

I'm quite sure "very little sleep" for extended periods of time is bad for your physical and mental health regardless of how macrobiotic your diet is.
