This looks promising, and not just for Trypanophobes. There might be drugs PWME might want to try, except that doctors are even less willing to prescribe an experimental injection than a pill, due to liability issues. Furthermore, some herbal compounds might not be bioavailable, for the reasons listed in the article, but might help if it could pass through the bucal membrane. If these little rubber cups were available on Amazon, I'd consider buying some and giving some herbs&spices another try. Hmm, it's a simple enough concept--a little rubber or polymer cup--that we can probably make at home. Not sure what the "naturally derived chemical which is added to the medication" is, or how much it affects the effectiveness. It seems no different from sticking a pen cap to your inner lip via suction; just add your herbal compound mixed with water in the cap first .. and prepare for hickeys while you experiment.
