This is one of those cases where there will be volunteers lining up for
miles for the first study that offers this stuff.  Alzheimers patients have
absolutely nothing to lose, and their lives to regain.  None of the articles
flying about on the internet in the last couple days have said how much it
costs to make this stuff, but if they would tell me, I would personally kick
in a few thousand bucks to make a gallon or two, and have a relative start
drinking it down.

Anyone found any info on how to synthesize bexarotene?  The dopers somehow
make in their home labs meth-a-whatever-that-stuff-is to get stoned, so can
we grab their chemical expertise and hire them to cook us up some of this
bexarotene?  We will overlook that other business, and this will give them a
chance to use their chemistry talent for something constructive.
