Our Journey and Impact

CAD foundation logo in blue

Dr. David E. Crandall DDS is the brain behind this Foundation – literally. Though he had the highest level of Alzheimer’s possible, his brain upon autopsy was well preserved and capable of function. Researchers thought it was just great Genes at play until they came to realize that he’d been medicating himself over the years…and it’s this surprising drug regimen that researchers believe are the strongest clue yet for the Cure for Alzheimer’s Disease. Dr. Crandall’s drug protocols and brain will be studied at The Alzheimer’s Legacy Lab at the University of Minnesota. His miraculous journey provides hope that someday soon this disease will have a treatment…and can be cured.

I never thought about Alzheimer’s as being caused by infection – it makes total sense

We Support One Lab at a Time

We feel the “spray and pray” method of funding research lacks the accountability and efficiency needed to cure this disease. Which is why we are only supporting the UMN Alzheimer’s Legacy Lab.

We Will See the Science Through
