Alzheimer's Research and Prevention Foundation

Since 2003, the Alzheimer’s Research and Prevention Foundation (ARPF) has been at the forefront of innovative research studies on the lifestyle impact on brain aging. This research proves, without any doubt, that how you live your everyday life can reduce your risk of developing memory loss, and has resulted in 30 scientific papers published in peer-reviewed medical journals. 

All this amazing work has been possible by generous donations from people like you.

Because the brain is flesh and blood like the rest of the body, it stays healthier if you follow The 4 Pillars of Alzheimer's Prevention: Nutrition, Stress Management, Physical and Mental Exercise, and Spiritual Fitness. 

We believe that aging need not be a time of degeneration, but rather a time of regeneration and renewed wisdom. In our educational outreach work, we seek to make information about conventional and integrative or holistic medicine available to everyone – to teach and empower people everywhere how to properly care for and nurture optimal brain health.

Here is what Ms. Wong said about her experience with ARPF:

My mother and I attended the AARP Convention in San Diego and my father brought to our attention that the Alzheimer's booth was giving memory tests so we definitely wanted to visit that booth since my mother has been suffering from memory loss for about two years now and it has recently gotten worse.

As we waited for my mother to take the test, everyone who worked at the booth made us feel very welcome and were very warm and friendly. 

My mother took the memory test while I sat and observed. I was really impressed by the test and the manner in which the test giver was giving the test. She was very positive and encouraging and didn't make my mother feel bad for giving wrong answers but instead assured her that she could benefit from memory therapy if we asked her primary care physician for a referral and showed him the test results. She was incredibly patient and we both appreciated the fact the test giver didn't rush us and answered all our questions. I could see the relief in my mother's face when she talking to the test giver as my mother felt there was hope in sight in spite of all her frustrations with the memory loss. 

Out of all the booths at the AARP Convention, we found the Alzheimer's booth the most informative as it related to something that she and I are very familiar with. 

To top it off, my mother "won" a jigsaw puzzle with two adorable dogs on it. I just have to encourage her to try to do the puzzle! Thanks for a great experience!
