It has been suggested by a group of researchers that exposure on a long-term basis to cell phone radiation may be able to fend off some of the affects of Alzheimer’s disease which causes loss of memory, specifically in those over the age of 55.
The study is currently being carried out on mice who are being exposed to radiation identical to that from cell phones which millions of us use each day. The University of South Florida is base camp for the tests.
Obviously, this was the exact opposite of what the researchers expected to find. They are now working towards safely speeding up the process in the hope of preventing the effects in actual people and maybe even reversing the effects in those who have already been diagnosed with the disease. So it appears that cell phone radiation can be good for you as well!

Radiation from cell phones is known to cause cancer and other ailments. After the Millennium when the average person walking down the street had a mobile phone the tabloids carried reports of how radiation from mobile phones will be seriously damaging people’s health. As of now, the problem has existed for such a short period of time that it is difficult to precisely say how dangerous it is – one thing’s for sure; new cell phones are producing as much radiation as ever with GPRS and 3G thrown into the mix.
Now, there is a new silicon case for the iPhone that will eliminate much of the radiation coming from the device without diminishing the signal strength. Scott Estro from Dig Communications, the company who make the ‘Pong iPhone Case’ talked to Crenk.
“The Pong iPhone Case is a sleek silicone skin containing a proprietary technology module that redirects cell phone radiation away from the user’s head. The case reduces the specific absorption rate (SAR, a mobile industry standard of measurement) by 60% and reduces intense ‘hotspot’ cell phone radiation (Electric Field Intensity) by 85%.”
As you can see from the screenshot, it doesn’t look bad at all but at almost $60, it may be priced a little high. But then I suppose you cant put a price on your well-being.
