FINDACURE : a small UK charity that looks for ways to find cures for rare diseases.
It specifically looks to promote DRUG REPURPOSING.
A small USA Charity with similar aims is CURESWITHINREACH

This is where old drugs are tried for rare disorders, to see if they have any benefit.
For TMAU, it would be used to see if any boost FMO3 function.
Benefits of drug-repo :

Usually out of patent
Simple to set up study (lab technician tests many drugs in a lab)
