You literally wrote

> It would just require the raw data from a variety of pharmacokinetic trials, some in-depth experiments on human liver and gastric membranes, and some simulation of the physics of how different drugs diffuse into the bloodstream and across membranes. This would be difficult, but not impossible, and would not require any huge scientific advances.

Yes, what do you think the pk trials and liver experiments would involve if not people who have a variety of phenotypes?
