Trials? No. There are various other countries you can go to in order to have these unapproved treatments performed, at great personal cost because there are no economies of scale. But there largely aren't countries performing trials that would count as an FDA Phase II or Phase III trial.

> at great personal cost because there are no economies of scale

I didn’t realize the USA was the only Economy of Scale

The US is the Primary economy of scale as it is the primary economy in general.
I’m talking about treatments that aren’t approved anywhere.
You specifically mentioned the FDA as being a problem; are you suggesting that approval in general is the problem, and no approval should be required anywhere?
Yes.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
