Could the increase in age-adjusted Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease rate
be caused by the microwave radiation of cell phones?
The CDC just released death data for
2005<
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/pubs/pubd/hestats/prelimdeaths05/prelimdeaths05.htm>
.
In the highlights<
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/07newsreleases/lifeexpectancy.htm>,
they state:
The age-adjusted death rates for the seventh leading cause of death,
Alzheimer's disease, and the 14th leading cause of death, Parkinson's
disease, both increased approximately 5 percent between 2004 and 2005.
This comes on top of an increase in death rate of
32%<
http://www.alz.org/national/documents/Report_2007FactsAndFigures.pdf>(not
age-adjusted) from 2000 to 2004, computed by the Alzheimer's
Association<
http://www.alz.org>
.
Alzheimer's was first described in 1906. The rate in the U.S. skyrocketed
by a factor of ten between 1979 and 1986. Part of this was attributed to
increased awareness and diagnosis, but the rate of death from all forms of
dementia also increased<
http://origin.cdc.gov/nchs/data/series/sr_20/sr20_028.pdf>.
The rate then leveled off for ten years before increasing again. That was
the same period during which the number of cell phone subscribers increased
from less than one million to more than 50
million<

This could be a coincidence, but it is known that the microwaves emitted by
cell phones penetrate the skull and can cause proteins to become
denatured<
http://prola.aps.org/abstract/PRE/v61/i4/p4310_1>or
unfolded.
Both Alzheimer's and Parkinsons are now considered to be conformational
diseases <
http://www.nature.com/ncb/journal/v2/n11/full/ncb1100_E207.html>,
caused by aggregation of misfolded proteins.
Epidemiologist George Carlo has said that he expects to see huge increases
in Alzheimer's, Parkinsons, autism, ADD and
cancer<

to cell phones.
