Alzheimers Research and Prevention Foundation

Our mission is to prevent Alzheimer's disease by funding research studies and providing professional training, educational outreach and memory screenings. For 27 years, the ARPF has been on the cutting edge of research, advocacy and education about a holistic or integrative approach to preventing memory loss and Alzheimer's.

Every year, the educational mission of the ARPF is eagerly advanced by the representatives, volunteers and supporters of the foundation– not just across the country, but across the continent. Additionally, we have participated in several extraordinary first-time events, including organizing the First Conference on the Integrative Medicine Approach to the Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease in 2003; bringing the first Memory Screening Day to Mexico, in conjunction with Rotary Clubs, in 2016; and delivering the first Brain Longevity Therapy Training to allied health professionals at UCLA in 2017, among others.

Until 2019, ARPF has been the main US funder of integrative medicine/lifestyle approaches to the prevention of Alzheimer's and memory loss, by funding various studies at worldwide renowned Universities. The positive and encouraging results have fueled additional research and much needed hope for individuals and medical professionals alike throughout the world.

We facilitate communication among health care professionals to share the results of our research, and between Alzheimer's organizations and the public to increase awareness of the disease and inform them about the available resources in our greater communities. Our research findings are published in leading, peer-reviewed medical journals.

Educating healthcare professionals, patients, and their families as well as the public on the known aspects of Alzheimer's disease, with particular emphasis on the prevention and treatment of early stage memory loss. We share the research and clinical results with health care professionals and patients, so that these tools can be used in your community and become part of the movement to help prevent Alzheimer's disease and other forms of memory loss and cognitive disability.

Since 2017, ARPF began its Brain Longevity Therapy Training to anyone who works with baby boomers and older adults, so that these allied healthcare providers and caregivers can bring these empowering tools to their communities. In 2020, we launched this course entirely online as a response to the Covid-19 crisis and look forward to continuing to train more individuals.

Our capability can be summed up in two words: experience and synergy. Many of the most prolific minds in the world work with ARPF to accomplish our mission. Our Founding President, Dr. Khalsa, continues to bring innovation to ARPF research efforts, as well as networking with other distinguished global researchers. He also serves as the Prevention Editor for the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease.

Furthermore, ARPF is assisted by 19 members who make up our distinguished Medical & Scientific Advisory Council. Our Council holds leading doctors and professors from around the world. ARPF is also assisted by a renowned Education Advisory Committee that has grown the organization in many ways.

Many of our Scientific Advisory Council members also participated in the delivery of the Brain Longevity Therapy Training, which means we are featuring the most recent scientific and clinical advances in the field.
