Cell Phone Radiation Found to Protect From Alzheimer’s Disease
According to an Alzheimer’s study conducted by researchers at the University of South Florida, cell phone radiation may have a beneficial biological effect. Two hours of cell phone radiation exposure eliminated Alzheimer’s disease in mice.
After years of claims that cell phone exposure causes brain tumors and cancer, the study brings surprisingly good news. The team of scientists running the study exposed mice with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s and its related memory problems, to cell phone radiation. They hypothesized that the radiation would increase the progression of the disease, based on previous studies of radical damage due to radiation. The scientists used an antenna to expose the mice to electromagnetic waves which approximated two hours of daily cell phone use. The mice exposed to this radiation did not suffer from memory impairments whatsoever as they aged, unlike their radiation-free counterparts. They were also able to keep their youthful ability to steer through a familiar maze after spending time in other, different mazes.
According to the researchers, the radiation prevented the buildup of the sticky proteins found in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. They believe that this study could lead to other and better treatments that may eventually lead to a cure for Alzheimer’s.
