Cell Phone Radiation Is Actually Not Bad For Us Now, It Prevents Brain Disorders
Marco Torres
Prevent Disease
January 7, 2009
Yet another ridiculous study out of the University of South Florida claims that cell phone radiation actually protects against brain disorders rather than cause them.
It’s another version of researchers promoting junk science at its best. The ludicrous study only done in mice, suggests that long-term exposure to electromagnetic frequencies (EMF) associated with cell phones may actually protect against, and even reverse, Alzheimer’s disease.
“It surprised us to find that cell phone exposure, begun in early adulthood, protects the memory of mice otherwise destined to develop Alzheimer’s symptoms,” said lead author Gary Arendash, PhD, USF Research Professor at the Florida ADRC. “It was even more astonishing that the electromagnetic waves generated by cell phones actually reversed memory impairment in old Alzheimer’s mice.”
The so-called researchers claim their study was “highly-controlled” and that they isolated the effects of cell phone exposure on memory from other lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise. Yes folks, we’re talking about the lifestyle factors of mice, but you can see where this is going.
So how did they achieve this magnificent feat you ask? Well, when scientists can’t get the results they want from animal testing, they genetically alter animals to achieve favorable results. This way, the biology of their lab rats is custom tailored to suit the objectives and conclusions desired by the scientists and their funding sources. It’s actually very common and this study is no different.
It involved mice, most of which were genetically altered to develop beta-amyloid plaques and memory problems mimicking Alzheimer’s disease as they aged. Think about what would happen if you radiated a genetically modified potato that was designed to be different that a potato found in nature. The cells of the genetically modified (GM) potato could react very differently from the natural potato to a given stimulus. They may be more susceptible or resistant to the radiated dose depending on how the GM potato was designed specifically for that purpose. The same principal can be achieved with rodents.
The conditions of the experiment were also simulative as no practical application on mice could ever mimic how humans use phones. The mice didn’t wear tiny headsets or have scientists holding cell phones up to their ears; instead, their cages were arranged around a centrally-located antenna generating the cell phone signal. But wait, the researchers claim that they perfectly housed each mouse the same distance from the antenna and exposed them to electromagnetic frequencies typically emitted by a cell phone pressed up against a human head. Huh? They exposed tiny little mice to the same EMF as cell phones emitted to a human head? Wouldn’t that expose the mice to a lopsided amount of EMF comparitively by ratio if you were to quantify the head mass of a human and that of a mouse? Ok, perhaps they overlooked that this wouldn’t be very applicable to humans.
Or maybe not. They stated they used memory tests on the mice that were closely designed from a sensitive test used to determine if Alzheimer’s disease, or its very early signs (mild cognitive impairment), are present in humans. “Since we selected electromagnetic parameters that were identical to human cell phone use and tested mice in a task closely analogous to a human memory test, we believe our findings could have considerable relevance to humans,” Arendash said. Hmmm, so Arendash is suggesting that a sensitive test used to determine a complex human brain disorder like Alzheimer’s, can be reproduced in rodents? I would love to see that test.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Are you starting to get the picture of how absurd this study and its objective is? Perhaps we could genetically alter humans now so they could boost their memory, protect their cognitive ability and prevent brain disorders, all from a few years of dedicated cell phone use.
Based on what the researchers claim are “promising and unexpected findings” in mice, they concluded that electromagnetic field exposure could be an effective, non-invasive and drug-free way to prevent and treat Alzheimer’s disease in humans. Wait, it gets better. They are also now evaluating whether different strengths of electromagnetic frequencies will produce a faster and even greater cognitive benefit. So the stronger the EMF the greater the benefit? I wonder if the heat in Florida makes researchers go nutty?
The researchers also found increases in brain temperature during the two one-hour periods when mice were exposed to electromagnetic waves each day. This increase in brain temperature was seen only in the Alzheimer’s mice, and only after months of exposure. So the normal mice didn’t have a increase in brain temperature after months of blasting them with high EMF doses? Those were some amazingly resilient normal mice.
“Our study provides evidence that long-term cell phone use is not harmful to brain,” Dr. Cao said. “To the contrary, the electromagnetic waves emitted by cell phones could actually improve normal memory and be an effective therapy against memory impairment.”
I think Dr. Cao said it all. Improving memory and effective therapy against impairment….who could ask for more right?
This is one of the most obviously senseless, illogical and foolish studies I have ever seen. Not only is the construct of the study absurd, but the researcher’s discussions and conclusions are so outlandish and unsupported, that they make global warming studies actually look scientific. I find it very suspicious that not even one of these authors had a disclosure statement. Another disturbing fact was that this study was supported by Byrd Alzheimer’s Institute.
This is an obvious attempt by the cell phone industry to further warp (literally) and sway public opinion on the detrimental health effects of cell phone radiation which are increasingly catching the media’s attention.
Electromagnetic frequencies and radiation are emerging health problem of the 21st century. “Cells in the body react to EMFs as potentially harmful, just like to other environmental toxins, including heavy metals and toxic chemicals,” said Martin Blank, PhD.
“Based on the existing science, many public health experts believe it is possible we will face an epidemic of cancers in the future resulting from uncontrolled use of cell phones and increased population exposure to WiFi and other wireless devices. Thus it is important that all of us, and especially children, restrict our use of cell phones, limit exposure to background levels of Wi-Fi, and that government and industry discover ways in which to allow use of wireless devices without such elevated risk of serious disease,” said David Carpenter, MD.
“Radio frequency radiation and other forms of electromagnetic pollution are harmful at orders of magnitude well below existing guidelines,” said Magda Havas, PhD.
“The overall problem with environmental electromagnetism is much deeper, not only of concern at power line frequencies, but also in the radiofrequency range encompassing mobile phones. Here the public’s continuing exposure to electromagnetic radiation is largely connected to money. Indeed the tens of billions of dollars in sales one finds in the cell phone industry makes it mandatory to corporate leaders that they deny, in knee-jerk fashion, any indication of hazard,” said Abraham R. Liboff, PhD .
Next they’ll be telling us that cell phone radiation can increase your income, boost your love life and make you fly.

I was thinking more along the lines of the giant tumer in your head prevents Alzheimer’s, so it all balances it self out like two wrongs make a right.
January 7th, 2010 at 1:02 pm
Actually, as a Ph.D. Biochemistry specializing in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy with medical experience in the OR, having researched the molecular structure of beta-amyloid myself, I would have to accept the findings from the studies in Florida. Clearly, when searching for possible therapeutic agents to prevent plaque accumulation in brain from bet-amyloid fibrillizations and nucleation centers, radiation would be one approach to disrupting the disease pathophysiology here.

Christine – Uhh… are you serious? “I would have to accept these findings”. What about the fact that authors did not have a disclosure statement? How in the hell could microwave radiation being blasted through your brain help prevent any disease? AND… even if it DID.. wouldn’t it just replace one with another? Perhaps even worse than the one it “treated” or “cured”?
Whats your exactly Ph.D, huh? Tell me more about your degree? I very much doubt a doctor would be on here posting in an article like this. You sound like a troll or disinfo-agent or perhaps just a “Well-meaning-fool” like so many americans are.

You need a seriously high dose of cell phone because you’ve accepted the junk science and need immediate flushing.
Ever hear of reverse psychology? This being used to convince people that they don’t need to take any precautions to protect themselves.

If that’s the case then why are more and more young people developing brain tumors??? As most of us know, and this is not a knock on the kids, they can’t seem to go to the bathroom without their cell phone. Have they invented yet ANOTHER new cell phone that wipes your bum for you? As for Alzheimer’s disease, it’s been proven that if you drink 1-2 glasses of PURE APPLE JUICE per day it is just as effective as Alzheimer’s medication, WIHOUT THE USUAL SIDE EFFECTS! We’ve all seen commercial after commercial that ends with: may cause, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and blah. I’ve also noticed that commercials and ads for anti-depressants all seem to end with: May lead to thoughts of sucicide. Coincidence: I THINK NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The last time I went to see my doctor (Sept. 09) there were FIVE pharmaceutical reps. there! They all knew each other. It’s no wonder it takes SO LONG to get in to see the doctor, he/she is busy with the pill pushers!

Sorry to hear that. I wonder how many brain cells you’ve lost already. Vodka was my brother’s favorite drink of choice also. Had my younger brother literally not put him into his truck and checked him into the hospital the doctor said he would have been dead within 1 week. Cheers!

If you believe that, you might as well go ahead and use the cell phone…you already have a brain disorder.
January 7th, 2010 at 3:42 pm
Damn! I’m gonna run out and get me a whole whack of cell-phones, I’m gonna eat more Mercury, too. Flouride – yum!!!! Might even have a nice slab of counter-top for lunch ( I’m a little low on Melamine). Where can I buy bottles of Aspertame? Damnit, I want growth hormones in my milk!!! I’m gonna nuke all my food and I want labels on food to tell if it’s GMO or not. I like a scientiific diet, don’t you? I’m gonna watch more TV too. Gotta go now, gotta buy a bottle of corn syrup. I think I’ll go down to the airport and stand around the scanner for a few hours too!

In order to avail yourself of this great breakthrough, you must first get ‘Alzhiemers’.
I suggest at least one flu shot a year, and lots of gardening (and bathing in insecticide).
Quite effective actually.

There was an experiment conducted recently. Two cell phones faced each other with a raw egg placed in between. One cell called the other and remained connected for one hour, at which time the egg was fully cooked. Radiation is not good for you, no matter what these human turds say.

doesn’t surprise me that this study was backed by an Alzheimer’s Institute.
the leading Alzheimers expert in Australia, Prof Brodaty, recently stated at a public conference that Aluminium has absolutely no role at all in dementia! despite the fact that it is a known neurotoxin & has been found in high concentrations postmorten in the brains of Alzheimers victims. Could this be because soon we’ll find out that Aluminum is being sprayed on us in chemtrails?
if you want accurate info on cancer & EMFs, look up Prof Teo, leading Australian neurosurgeon who did a study showing a causal link with malignant brain tumors. Each week his office gets more kids & teenagers with such tumors
the worst risk I think is when pregnant mothers put their cell phone in their pocket/handbag
and when mothers have their cell phone in their handbag hanging off their child’s pram
this amazing video shows how cell phone emfs are emitting, EVEN WHEN THE PHONE IS SWITCHED OFF & altering our electromagnetic meridiens in our body

Oh come on now, they have scientific evidence that now proves mercury calms kids down and keeps them in their seats. Other than a little drewling, it’s not a problem if you add some bleach when doing the laundry.
I heard the announcement myself on the TV, that mercury actually improves the brain development of children. It was on the news just in case you never saw it. Jeese – some people are so dumb, not keeping up with what’s on the TV.
January 7th, 2010 at 11:53 pm
I use the cell phone all the time for my job, so this is great news!
For a while there I was concerned like I had been with my kids getting too much mercury from the vaccines. But now they say the mercury is good for kids and that it actually calms down overly energetic kids, keeps them in their seats.
I am also hoping the body scanners will be proved to have some health benefits. You know how chemotherapy stops cancer and so does radiation therapy and just maybe the body scanners will lower cancer rates, acting like a mild form of radiation therapy that actually nips cancer in the bud.
This new technology is so great and what can we do to help with all this good will coming from our government, that get this people, it’s free. You can’t ask for a better deal than all of this.

The credibility of University studies all remind me of Climategate.
“Phil requests that everyone delete their emails regarding the radiation exposure tests.”
“When I used the fictitious numbers, everything worked and fell into place.”
“I understand the logic of confusing the issue about radiation effects. But Alzheimer’s is a disease not something everyone should have in order to benefit from the radiation therapy scale.”
First go get Alzheimer’s then worry about radiation benefits.
Otherwise they did not release the reports for healthy people that become ill.
“Only talk about the benefits such as the phone fits into your coat pockets for easy burial.”
January 8th, 2010 at 3:41 pm
If anyone believes this claim they should be sectioned!
One only has to see the YouTube clip of the phones popping popcorn to know that kind of radiation is NOT good for you!!
