WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A study in mice suggests using cellphones may help prevent some of the brain-wasting effects of Alzheimer's disease, U.S. researchers said on Wednesday.

After long-term exposure to electromagnetic waves such as those used in cell phones, mice genetically altered to develop Alzheimer's performed as well on memory and thinking skill tests as healthy mice, the researchers wrote in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease.

The results were a major surprise and open the possibility of developing a noninvasive, drug-free treatment for Alzheimer's, said lead author Gary Arendash of the University of South Florida.

He said he had expected cell phone exposure to increase the effects of dementia.

That is a surprise! Interesting to see if other studies replicate the result. Could be wonderful if true.

I can see the advertisements now.

Get mom, dad, grand ma and grandpa new state of the art Alzheimer's preventing cellphones and save not only money but the family. Who needs health care and hospice when your favorite cellphone company has all the answers.

Plans starting at $99.99 per month for partial Alzheimer relief. Full relief starting at $499.99 per month.

Oh, the joys of unfettered capitalism....

Well it is exactly what those such as BTS sees as a fix all to America's health care issues. More competition. Who knew the competition would come from the cell phone industry though? Now well be able to write off our cell phone bills as a business and a medical expense. Ya gotta love that free market thing, don't ya?

In joint advertising efforts we'll see magazine pictures of older females talking on the cell phone with big smiles on their faces and the grey haired husband standing next to her holding up a bottle of viagra and a huge bulge in his pants, and the caption will read - "ALZHEIMER'S AND ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION?- PFFFT"
