The statistics are sobering:
- More than 5 million Americans live with Alzheimer's disease today.
- One out of every eight people 65 and older has the disease. And for those over the age of 85, this number jumps to almost one out of every two.
- When baby boomers reach 65 in 2011, these numbers will skyrocket and an epidemic will be upon us.
However, when you realize an estimated 500,000 Americans under the age of 65 already have Alzheimer's - and deaths due to the disease are dramatically rising - I suspect you'll agree the tragedy is here now.
Thankfully, there is hope...

Our Mission - Working to Empower You
Established in 1993 by Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D., the Alzheimer's Research and Prevention Foundation is committed to preventing, delaying the onset, and slowing the progression of Alzheimer's disease through an integrative or holistic medical program.
With an emphasis on clinical research and educational outreach, the Foundation believes aging need not be a time of degeneration, but rather a time of regeneration and renewed wisdom.
We seek to make information about conventional and complementary or holistic medicine available to everyone - to teach and empower people everywhere how to properly care for and nurture optimal brain health.
Why is information about proper brain health so important? By slowing the progression of Alzheimer's disease by just five years, we can reduce the number of cases by up to 50 percent. And if the onset of Alzheimer's can be delayed for 10 years, scientists tell us that the disease would essentially be eradicated.
