On 02/26/99 at 07:01 AM, "Roy L. Beavers"  relayed
Marjorie Lundquist's saying:

>-I was looking at it because I describe the effects of digital cellular 
>-phones on the human brain as "likely to produce premature aging of 
>-the brain" which in my eyes means premature onset of Alzheimer's 
>-disease....

Just to mention:  Dr. Hugh Fudenberg, immunologist (in either North or
South Carolina) has reported he's able to assist with "3 of the 4 types"
of Alzheimer's, using his Transfer Factor approach.  

This suggests there may be a non-trivial percentage of Alzheimer's cases
that are not "true" Alzheimer's in the strictest sense but rather "a form
of senility of unknown origin" -- and, it should be noted, there are
reports of studies done in retirement or nursing homes, in which symptoms
diagnosable as "senile dementia" cleared up quite readily with
supplementation of one or another of the B complex vitamins (most of which
are involved in the manufacture of neurotransmitters).  

(There's a dietary pattern commonly enough seen among seniors that it has
its own name:  "Tea and Toast Syndrome".  Subsisting on tea and toast
would indeed be likely to leave one in short supply of water-soluble B's
after awhile; since they're water-soluble, we essentially need to acquire
them daily, as a rule.)

Fudenberg's Transfer Factor is intended as a method to "confer" immunity,
or to "provide a tune-up" for one person's immune system, using factors
derived ideally from the blood of another person living in the same
environment but not presenting with the same symptoms.  Fudenberg says the
brain itself is an integral part of "the immune system", and that he can
tell what's going on in the brain (e.g., Alzheimer's) non-invasively
through laboratory blood tests.

This would suggest 3 of the 4 types of Alzheimer's are really immune or
auto-immune problems, and treatable, rather than "to be expected" aspects
of a process of aging -- which does lead us back to EMF influences, I
would say. 

Dr. Harold Levinson, New York psychiatrist, has found simple antihistamine
products are unexpectedly helpful for his patients with anxiety, panic
attacks, phobias, and also dyslexia.  It appears a lot of the experience
of those problems may arise from excess histamines in the Cerebellar
Vestibular System, which processes -all- our aural and visual stimuli.  

This gives indication that many 'mental ailments', including dementia,
might have an unrecognized allergy or otherwise changed-response vector,
including whatever shifts might be produced by EMF et al. exposures.
