A study done by U.S. researchers shows how cell phone usage could prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
According to the Alzheimer’s Association more than 35 million people around the world will be affected by Alzheimer’s and there is no cure.
Mice were exposed to electromagnetic waves like those used in a cell phone. The mice that developed Alzheimer’s did extremely well on memory and thinking skill tests. The Alzheimer’s mice did just as good as the healthy mice. The cellphone exposure ended up completely erasing the main protein found in Alzheimer’s and the cellphone exposure reversed the brain’s pathology.
“The results were a major surprise and open the possibility of developing a noninvasive, drug-free treatment for Alzheimer’s,” said lead author Gary Arendash of the University of South Florida.
Arendash is now trying to update the experiments in order to see if they could produce faster results and begin testing humans.
