Cell Phone Radiation Could Actually Prevent and Treat Alzheimer’s

by on Jan.13, 2010, under CELLPHONES, Wellnews

Since everyone seems to be arguing over whether or not cell phones cause cancer, no one seems to be paying attention to how the ubiquitous gadgets might be related to other diseases. But that might change following the release of a study from the Florida Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, which has found that radiation from a cell phone could protect against — and possibly reverse — the effects of Alzheimer’s disease.

In the study, mice with Alzheimer’s were exposed to electromagnetic waves from a cell phone. Apparently, the waves stimulated brain activity and erased deposits of beta-amyloid, a telltale sign of the disease. The mice, which were genetically modified to develop the beta-amyloid deposits and eventually the disease itself, were exposed to a cell phone antenna over a period of time. The mice that were genetically disposed to Alzheimer’s but had not yet developed it maintained their cognitive abilities. Those who had already slipped into full rodent dementia actually regained their abilities and performed as well on cognitive tests as the mice who had never developed the disease.

Further tests are needed, and the benefits took months to become apparent in the mice, but researchers are optimistic that the experiments could lead to a viable treatment for humans. On a side note, the study failed to find any abnormal growths in the brains of the mice exposed to the radiation for months on end. Score another point for the cell-phones-cause-brain-cancer skeptics. [From: LiveScience]
