I'm just starting to go down the blood testing route for myself and my startup (we're going to pay for before/after blood tests for certain supplement reviews), and I find it hugely fascinating. Others do too, and because of that, there's going to be continued growth. I am absolutely convinced that we'll someday get to where Theranos wants to go - possibly even better - but it's going to take more time and it's going to have to come far more slowly. Costs need to get down a lot more. You can't advertise and get funding for step 100 when we're still on step 3. This was their fatal sin. Either way, given the interest I'm seeing in our program, I know the future will push forward. We're clearly still on the very beginning part of the adoption curve with this one -- way earlier than Theranos led us to believe -- but someday I think we'll have the data we want, and in continuous fashion too. It's still all very reactive stuff though -- until we can read what our nervous system is communicating to the body, we're just playing an ugly, rudimentary form of catch-up. I don't see that really changing in my lifetime though.
