The author appeals to millionaires to fund this promising research which drug companies won't invest in because it can't be patented due to previous publication. But can a kickstarter guru help get this off the ground?

I love the idea of a kickstarter!

I'm just wondering what "direct" reward can be given in exchange for a donation. While most of us see the benefit of such a drug to the "human race" I really think the success of kickstarter is due to its premise that your donation is reciprocated by the recipient.

With that said, wow, this drug 'sounds' extremely promising, and I hope to everything holy that it can do the miracles it advertises.

The majority of true science proceeds without thought of compensation, except in the sense that science advances and humanity benefits. Such is true in this case.
