What Does This Mean For The Rest of Us?
No one is really sure as of yet. Although these studies were conducted in a scientific manner at Florida Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC) by University of Florida researchers, and the study was published int the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, everyone must remember that the mice who showed the promising results didn’t actually have Alzheimer’s. Well, not really, anyway. The mice, according to E Science News, “…most of which were genetically altered to develop beta-amyloid plaques and memory problems mimicking Alzheimer’s disease as they aged.” They also stated some of the mice were “non-demented” so as to maintain a control group. Researchers claim they have isolated the effects of “…cell phone exposure on memory from other lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise.”
What ’s the Deal?
The study which took the genetically altered Alzheimer’s induced mice and exposed them to electromagnetic waves similar to the ones we are exposed to when we hold a cell phone up to our heads when we are talking. This was done to both young adult mice, who did not yet have the Alzheimer’s yet, but would have and will (or maybe not, if the study proves to be true and for real) when they grow old, and also to mice who already were displaying symptoms of memory loss, he main sign of Alzheimer’s disease. This was also conducted with the control group.
And the Verdict Was?
Apparently, the “unexpected results’ as they are calling it in the mice, have the researchers in a tizzy. They have “…concluded that electromagnetic field exposure could be an effective, non-invasive and drug-free way to prevent and treat Alzheimer’s disease in humans,” and are now working on more research including using different frequencies and strengths of these electromagnetic waves, all the while hoping for better effects on cognitive memory and faster result overall.
I must say, while I think research on mice has helped save millions of lives and will continue to do so, and I do agree that non-invasive experiments are much better than others, I think we all need to remember, befor taking what the researchers say at face value, they INDUCED Alzheimer’s in those mice. They injected them with the gene or chemical to make them develop Alzheimer’s and induced it in some mice who otherwise would have never had gotten it. They were all made to get the disease.
What then of the results of those mice who would have gotten it naturally? How do these researchers know the mice would react the same way if they had developed the disease in a natural way? How will they know if it will work in a natural environment if they have to tested it yet? And what then of the surely upcoming tests on humans? Will researchers induce Alzheimer’s in humans as well?
What if they take this experiment and use it on humans only to find out the injection somehow mixed with the electromagnetic frequencies to produce altered results? Why don’t they find mice with the disease, who have naturally gotten it, to test? Only then will they have true results and can claim a possible reversal and prevention…
So, it comes to this: Studies show reduced effects of Alzheimer’s in mice as well as reversal of memory loss… But are these studies for real, or do they exist because they induced the Alzheimer’s? We will surely never know. For now, they are just kidding themselves…
