Abstract (Swedish)

The BBB is supposed to protect the brain from unwanted and toxic molecules that are potentially in the blood to transfer into the brain tissue. However, after exposing rats to radiation from cell phones, albumin from the blood leaks into the brain and accumulates in neurons and glial cells.
In late 2023, it came to my attention that Arendash in the USA, in order to treat patients with Alzheimer's disease, had used a similar microwave pulse train and non-thermal SAR levels as we used in our studies of the BBB leakage of blood-Albumin.
Concerns were raised that albumin leakage in the BBB after many years of intensive mobile phone use could promote the development of autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's.
At Christmas time in 2023 it came to my attention that Arendash and coworkers already in 2010 reported that treatment with GSM-900 electromagnetic fields protects against and reverses cognitive decline in mice with Alzheimer's disease (Arendash et al., 2010).
Arendash's report indicates that prolonged exposure to non-thermal levels of microwave radiation directly associated with GSM-900 cell phone use confers cognitive benefits. They observed both cognitive protective and ameliorating effects of such exposure in both normal mice and transgenic mice designed to develop Alzheimer's-like impairment.
Arendash and colleagues used similar 900 MHz GSM modulated microwaves at non-thermal SAR levels in a clinical phase-1 study with 8 subjects..
Although they did not include a control group, their clinical study otherwise shows a widespread and sustained improvement in progressive AD cognitive impairment up to 2½ years after the first treatment. Furthermore, they observed no adverse effects in the limited group of AD patients treated in their study.
It may seem strange that mobile phone radiation, which suspected of being harmful to normally healthy people, can treat Alzheimer´s disease.
The purpose of this story is to spread the knowledge that non-thermal microwave radiation effects exist, and are potentially useful for treatment of Alzheimer´s disease.
I hope that research will start as soon as possible in Scandinavia to confirm whether Microwave treatment is a clinically useful method against Alzheimer's disease and eventually other Neurological diseases.
Perhaps the story can be an inspiration for some younger student or researcher to work for improvement of the treatment of Neurological diseases.
