110,000 Wisconsin residents suffer from Alzheimer's disease, according to Tom Hlavacek, the Executive Director of the Alzheimer’s Association of Southeast Wisconsin, wrote Senator Herb Kohl (D-WI) in a recent email update. And 5.1 million Americans and their families are dealing with this scourge that steals memory and thinking skills.
Kohl, who is the current chairman of the Senate Special Committee on Aging, stated that he supports President Obama's proposed additional $50 million towards "cutting edge Alzheimer's research," plus $106 million more for "research, outreach and support for Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers." He endorses "the development of treatments that can prevent, halt or reverse the course of Alzheimer’s by 2025."
Any search for new, expensive drugs or lists of preventative life-style changes will not do enough if pervasive environmental factors are left unaddressed. These legislators and leaders should listen to the growing number of doctors, scientists and public health experts, who are warning about chronic exposure to wireless radiofrequency (rf) radiation emissions as a serious factor in health conditions.
Sources of rf exposure include transmitting utility meters, cell phones and towers, Wi-Fi, wireless broadband, medical devices, DECT phones, etc. FCC standards are not protective against any effects besides tissue heating, despite thousands of studies evidencing other kinds of harm. Exposure is cumulative, but no authority is monitoring the levels from these combined devices.
Here are recent voices of medical professionals and studies warning about wireless:
The 2011 Seletun Scientific Statement, written by seven life scientists in five countries, based on a large and growing body of science showing biological effects from rf radiation exposure, includes evidence specifically addressing Alzheimer's.
Studies in section 12 of the BioInitiative Report - a list of over 2000 studies - give evidence for a link between Alzheimer's and rf exposure.
U.S. policy makers should pay attention to these experts and studies if they honestly want to fight Alzheimer's in America. To leave this stone unturned and ignore environmental links in the devastating disease would be irresponsible and costly.

The American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) recently called for the roll back of rf transmitting utility meters because chronic rf radiation at levels below FCC heating standard can cause health risks, according to their assessment of the scientific literature. Rf exposure affects brain, cellular and genetics areas, impacting memory and Alzheimer's conditions.
The Santa Cruz Public Health Department, CA, formally called for the moratorium on transmitting utility meter installation, and published extensive research on the health effects of rf radiation as supporting evidence. (Attachment B, page 6, Alzheimer's reference).
