American researchers have exposed nearly a hundred mice to electromagnetic waves emitted by cellphones an hour or two daily for seven to eight months to mimic the use of cellphones for several decades in humans. Some of these mice had been genetically modified to have Alzheimer’s disease.
Conclusion of this study: Cell phone exposure appears to have protected the memory of mice that otherwise would have developed Alzheimer’s symptoms, according to Gary Arendash, professor of neurology at the University of Florida, and author of this work published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease.
According to the neurologist, the electromagnetic waves from the cell phone increase blood flow to the brain and stimulate it in normal individuals. He believes that by determining the right electromagnetic frequency to effectively prevent amyloid buildup in the brain, the technology could quickly be applied to the treatment of Alzheimer’s in humans.
