The Founder: Dr. Albert B. Crum, Inventor
Meet Dr. Albert B. Crum, the mind behind Immune Formulation 200®
Dr. Crum’s initial interest in glutathione was rooted in his fascination with the interrelationship between stress and the immune system. With Dr. Crum’s extensive background in chemistry as an undergraduate and later at the Harvard Medical School, he was intrigued by what was observed clinically and what was going on in the body biochemically.
He realized that glutathione was a pivotal molecule in the preservation and restoration of the immune system. He felt the approach should be to find a way of restoring the glutathione molecule intracellularly. He felt the best way was to allow the cell to carry out its natural function for which it had been evolved and perfected, namely synthesis of the glutathione molecule with specific enzymes et al.
Dr. Crum felt that with the rapid turnover of glutathione, the most important way to achieve the physiological goal would be to facilitate and augment intracellular synthesis, which mechanism had already been highly perfected by years of evolution. Intracellular synthesis presented crucial and highly sensitive problems, because the most crucial entity cysteine could not be delivered into the cell per se.
Implications of Dr. Crum’s invention are most important. This method of glutathione synthesis is reliable, safe, and physiological. Originally, Dr. Crum foresaw the cystine/cysteine interactive reversibility. He did not feel cystine was inert and inactive, notwithstanding it was oxidized. Dr. Crum’s invention foresaw cystine as being the primary systemic carrier of cysteine, hence this coupling’s being the reason why cystine could function as the primary carrier of cysteine. Dr. Crum’s patent is also an economic avenue for replenishment of bodily glutathione.

- Alberta M. Crum
Alberta M. Crum, DVM: A Cornell Veterinary School graduate(’90) Dr. Alberta Crum has over three decades of experience as a practicing veterinarian. An animal lover throughout her life and appreciative of the importance of human/animal interaction, she has worked in humane education and pet therapy with shelter animals at the ASPCA, wildlife rehabilitation and zoo medicine at private facilities, Cornell’s avian clinic, and as a fellow at the Trevor zoo.
As a practicing veterinarian, her career began with an internship in medicine and surgery at NYC’s Animal Medical Center and has subsequently included work in rural and urban general practice, emergency, shelter and community medicine. Her interest in scientific investigation is broad, from visual science and perception, animal behavior, developmental psychology and medicine. An early independent study in ant behavior at the American Museum of Natural History helped inspired her major in psychology at Barnard College (‘82, Cum Laude) and subsequently veterinary medicine and research.
Alberta recently has taken up the mantle of a Contributing Scientist at ProImmune, working with the founder, her father, researching on oxidative-reductive homeostasis, oxidative stress and the immune system, the potential for functional foods and strategy on research design. She currently serves as the Chief Operating Officer of the ProImmune Company, LLC.
