34. hard to say
Depends on whether it is patentable. It looks like it is an old drug. But I am not sure if it has been approved for anything in the USA. One thing--it seems that targeting the amyloid placque is NOT cutting it. Drugs and supplements need to target the tau protein. So that is at least a clue for you. And perhaps there is some way that you could actually get this drug now, from overseas. I bet it is cheap now, if it is available.

There are programs set up by pharmaceutical companies to help people with limited resources buy the drugs they need. The thing is, though, the current Alzheimer's drugs are not particularly effective.
