Alzheimers cure link to mobile use CHATTING on a mobile phone may protect against Alzheimers and even reverse the disease, new research suggests. US scientists found that mice with Alzheimers were effectively cured after being exposed to the electromagnetic waves produced by mobile phones. Sticky brain deposits of a protein linked to the disease were erased, and the animals thinking ability and memory returned to normal levels. Most of the mice were genetically engineered to develop the beta-amyloid protein deposits and typical symptoms of Alzheimers disease. The researchers believe exposure to mobile-phone- type electromagnetic radiation could be an effective drug-free way to prevent and treat Alzheimers in humans. The study was published in the Journal of Alzheimers Disease. iPhone combines games and flight A NEW concept combining video games with remote controlled helicopters has been unveiled.
