How do I Afford the Costs of Patenting as an Independent Inventor?

[@viathemaster5487]

I have invented natural recipes for skin ointment with a natural chemical compound as well... If I sell it to Eli Lilly after protecting it, etc., will they buy it from me for 2 billion US dollars? Knowing that it is against eczema, against skin ulcers, against dry skin in the cold, against hemorrhoids in the buttocks, and is comfortable for those who love hot peppers. When going to the toilet, the ointment should be applied an hour before going to the toilet, etc. I hope you can answer me thanks❤
