Can Cell Phones Really Trigger Alzheimer’s?
Can you hear me now?
How does the idea of playing Russian roulette with your brain sound? How’d you like to live a healthy lifestyle and come down with a horrible disease, like Alzheimer’s, simply because you were using your cell phone?
Not too pleasant a thought, is it?
Well, perhaps you’re aware of the recent news from the prestigious University of Pittsburgh Cancer Center warning of cell phone risks to your immune system and bone marrow. Their recent research report, published online, reveals that the electromagnetic radiation emitted from cell phones may pose a serious risk for developing brain cancer, as well as eye cancer and acoustic neuromas, a benign tumor of the nerve in the ear leading to deafness, which needs surgery to be removed.1,2
Recently, Dr. Paul Song, a radiation oncologist from Los Angeles, appeared on Larry King live and was asked about the dangers of carrying your cell phone on your hip and holding it next to your head. Here is what he said:
“Surprisingly, the concern about radio frequency exposure is not so much for the brain or the hip, but really the testes or the eyes. Those are the areas that are most sensitive to radio frequency, because they get hot and they don’t have the blood vessels to cool off.”3
But that’s not all.
An earlier published paper revealed that cell phone radiation kills brain cells that are associated with learning and memory, and may therefore trigger Alzheimer’s.4
How can that be?
