A new study has demonstrated that the brains of animals exhibit important protein changes following whole body exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields. These fields are similar to the kind of microwave radiation emitted from cell phones, portable phones, WiFi and wireless computer equipment.
The microwave radiation affected important brain regions necessary for learning, memory and other functions, and included the hippocampus, the cerebellum and the frontal lobe -- even at exposures below international safety guidelines. A total of 143 brain proteins were altered over a period of 8 months. This provides new evidence of the potential relationship between the use of cell phones and wireless equipment, electrosensitivity symptoms such as headaches, dizziness and sleep disorders, and more serious ailments such as tumors, Alzheimer’s disease and even metabolic effects.
Electromagnetic Health reports:
“The study simulated 3 hours of cell phone exposure over eight months, 8 hours of DECT portable phone exposure over eight months, and included a sham exposure control group. The results showed both down regulation and up regulation of the proteins.”
