A researcher team made up of scientists from the U.S., Japan and China exposed two groups of mice to the type of “radio waves” that ocme from cell phones. One group, of mice, was a special type which was more likely than most mice to develop Alzheimer’s disease. The other group were normal lab mice (control group). 

The researchers discovered that the waves protected younger mice prone to developing Alzheimer’s from losing brain function. The memory problems of older mice already showing symptoms of the disease vanished.

Even more interesting, the normal mice showed better-than-normal memory capacity after several months of exposure. Mice were exposed to the waves for 2 hours each day for 7 to 9 months. 

It took a lot of exposure (several months) for the positive effects to appear in the mice. Researchers suggest that this type of result in humans could take years to show up.

This study suggest the electromagnetic waves could be an effective, drug-free treatment for Alzheimer’s. The full report appears online in the January 7, 2010 edition of the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease.
