Support our Goal of Curing Alzheimer's Disease

Donation protected

As Founder of the Curing Alzheimer's Disease Foundation, I thank you in advance for listening to our story. There are so many organizations that are requesting you to donate your hard-earned money in the name of helping find a cure for Alzheimer's Disease. I hope you will soon see that our story is different from the rest...

And that our non-profit organization's mission is led by an actual human case of reversing Alzheimer's Disease.

Hopefully, this last sentence has captured your attention as much as it has for the researchers at the University of Minnesota. We aren't following a hunch or coat-tailing on other the three theories* out there. Instead, we are 100% in agreement with the Infection/Microbial Hypothesis - because we have a real life example that speaks to the fact that the infection/microbial theory is the most relevant and therefore the most accurate explanation so far for what is causing Alzheimer's Disease. I emphasize that we have some experience in this: in fact, years and years. To learn more...read on:

You see, my father, Dr. David Crandall, who was a prominent dentist in the Twin Cities, died of this horrific disease. But not before proving to his medical doctors that IT IS POSSIBLE TO REVERSE ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE. Because that's just what he did.

If you have watched the video we've incorporated into this GoFundMe plea, you'll know that my dad - under strict medical supervision - experimented on himself to find what drugs would slow and even reverse his Alzheimer's symptoms. At first, he was convinced that Alzheimer's was a disease of inflammation. But later, it came clear that it was an infection that had reached his brain. Dad tried so many combinations of drugs...3 years of human-trial data that has never been compiled before. Better yet, when we looked at dad's brain post-mortem, his brain was not damaged to the extent we would see if his AD is allowed to normally progress without drug interventions. Meaning, the drugs were working to preserve the critical structures in his brain - the hippocampus, the ventricles, the EC - which is why dad was able to make a champagne toast with my family 5 days before he died.

My dad is/was/will continue to be a medical marvel. His story and his unique brain is known about in places as far away as the United Kingdom, Keil, Singapore and many, many major research medical research institutions here in the U.S. Because my dad graduated (undergrad and dental school) from the University of Minnesota, we decided to entrust the University of Minnesota Medical School with the ability to have the drug protocols that dad used to reverse his AD. As well as the ability to study the remaining half of his brain (often referred to as the GOLDEN BRAIN) which remains in a cryo state until which time we decide to utilize that asset for further investigation.

Now, I have to level with you - when the University said they wanted to study my dad's phenomenal case in a laboratory setting (so they could understand why the drugs dad was using changed this disease so drastically), I just assumed that would just happen.

But a year after meeting with the head of Neuropathology, I learned that the lab was on hold until I could find a funding source for the lab.

At first, I was taken aback. I mean, here, I gave them the "GOLDEN BRAIN" and prepared to entrust them with every single documented drug that dad took (along with all the clinical records that showed that what dad was doing - was actually reversing Alzheimer's) and yet - that wasn't enough. I needed to bring the funding as well.

It took a while (which is why there was a 3-year gap between my dad's death and the beginning of this Foundation) for me to humble myself enough to realize that I had to give even more in order to help the world to see something awe-inspiring. I mean, if you have ever watched Alzheimer's progress, and have witnessed someone you love lose the ability to know your name - or to take care of themselves - you know how much you would pay just to have them suddenly "wake up" and call your name. Or "wake up" and stand for the first time in months. To laugh with you and remember those memories that you'd thought they'd completely lost. So that's what the drugs did for my dad - over and over and over again. The drugs he was trying to fine-tune with his doctors are what allowed dad to direct his own autopsy during the week before he died of the highest level of Alzheimer's Disease pathology possible.

So here we are today. I have now spent thousands to create The Curing Alzheimer's Disease (private) Foundation so I could raise the money required to fund a scientific research lab at the University of Minnesota Medical School. The head researcher is in agreement that Alzheimer's Disease (as well as Parkinson's) is very likely due to a microbial infection that is attacking the brain. This theory, which is growing in popularity is called the infectious/microbial hypothesis of Alzheimer's.

Our goal is to be the first to either prove (likely) or disprove this hypothesis. Either outcome will be 100% responsible for moving the field of Alzheimer's Research forward. So there is no losing - just winning on our work together. I, along with my CAD Foundation team will be generating the funding necessary to run the Alzheimer's Legacy Lab - both in grant writing and in community outreach.


In our direct work with The Alzheimer’s Legacy Lab, The Curing Alzheimer’s Disease Foundation will be continuously reporting (on our website and in quarterly reports to our Donors), the progress and results from the Alzheimer’s Legacy Lab's studies. As a Donor, you will always be our partner and will receive updates first.

The money our Foundation raises directly impacts how fast the Alzheimer's Legacy Lab can work on finding an Alzheimer's Cure.

So by donating to our Foundation TODAY, you will be helping to find a cure for over 6.5 million people worldwide that are living with Late-Onset Alzheimer's Disease. By donating NOW, you are either honoring a loved one or helping one.

God Bless
