EMERGING TECHNOLOGY: CELLPHONE RADIATION IMPROVES THE THOUGHT PROCESS
OF MICE

From the science page comes this interesting story regarding radiation
from cellular telephones that claims it can improve your intelligence,
but only if you are a mouse.

According to Gary Arendash of the University of South Florida in Tampa
and colleagues, research being conducted using mice prone to an animal
form of Alzheimer's disease showed that long-term exposure to
electromagnetic radiation typical of cell phones slowed and reversed
the course of the illness. Moreover, a similar exposure in normal
mice for two hours a day over seven to nine months improved their
cognitive abilities compared with control specimens.

Arendash and colleagues provided their data in a recent issue of the
Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. They also say that the findings
provide striking evidence for both protective and disease-reversing
effects of long-term exposure to radiation at cell phone level.

But other experts cautioned that the science in the study while
mainstream is still in its very early stages. Dr. Alan Lerner is a
Neurologist at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. In
a public e-mail he said that the researchers took an an innovative
approach to modulating Alzheimer's disease models in mice. but he said
it's too early to say whether the finding have any relevance to humans.
