Cell phones to treat Alzheimer's disease?

The U.S. researchers have exposed nearly a hundred mice to electromagnetic waves emitted by mobile phones for an hour or two per day for seven to eight months to replicate the use of mobile phones for several decades in humans.

Some of these mice had been genetically altered to be suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

This study has made a surprising conclusion: exposure to mobile phone seems to have protected the memory of mice that otherwise would have developed symptoms of Alzheimer's, 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 of mobile phones increase blood flow to the brain and stimulate it in normal individuals. He believes that the electromagnetic waves of correct frequency could effectively prevent the accumulation of amyloid in the brain.

This technology could be applied as the treatment of Alzheimer's in humans.
