I'm rather surprised the Alzheimer's Association would advertise in a news paper when there are thousands of people that volunteer on their site to help with a cure. Not all require the use of medication.
I don't think the Alzheimer's Association was ever mentioned. The ad in the Daily Sun, which I no longer have, only mentioned Compass Research, as I recall. The address they gave me for testing was: Compass Research, 708 Physician Ct, Leesburg, FL 34748.

If you go to their website, "Compassresearch.com", they have a section for sponsors. They do research for sponsors, which I assume could be a drug company.
