GSM Cell Phones and Alzheimer's - By: Paul Wise

How are GSM Cell Phones connected to Alzheimer's? According to Alzheimer's Disease International, 35 million people world-wide will suffer from Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia this year. However a new study has come out at the University of South Florida that show that GSM Cell Phones may reverse and fight off the effects of Alzheimer's disease.

The University of South Florida has been conducting a study on mice that are genetically altered to develop Alzheimer's disease. These mice are then exposed to long-term electromagnetic waves, the same waves that are found in cell phones. Gary Arendash, a professor at the University of South Florida and the head author of the studies says that "Quite to the contrary, those mice were protected if the cell phone exposure was stared in early adulthood," said Gary Arendash, lead author and University of South Florida professor. "Or if the cell phone exposure was started after they were already memory-impaired, it reversed that impairment."

After exposure to GSM Cell Phones radiation about 2 hours a day for 7 to 9 months, the researchers found that beta-amyloid, a protein that builds up in the brains of Alzheimer's patients was decreased in older mice and that their great improvements to the point of a reversal in the mice's brain pathology. And younger mice showing no signs of memory loss seemed to be safe from Alzheimer's later in life. The initial positive results of the experiment made the researchers think the cell phone experiment would only work at the beginning but after continuing the experiments for months on end it seemed that only benefits would result.

It seems the electromagnetic waves or radiation from cell phones stops the buildup of bad protein. These results have opened up the possibility for a whole new field in neuroscience and the long-term effects of electromagnetic fields on memory. They could eventually lead to the production of a non-invasive drug for those who suffer from Alzheimer's disease and a whole generation, one that grew up with cell phone use, could end up with many fewer people suffering the disease.

Who knew that GSM Cell Phones could end up having a remarkably beneficial effect that goes far beyond the conveniences that they bring to our lives. While it is still a study with much research left to be done it is certainly intriguing stuff. Especially when not long ago the biggest concern of cell phone was that it may cause cancer. While nothing is certain it seems clear that more cell phone research must be done as they continue to become bigger and bigger parts of our lives.
