The age-old adage First Do No Harm should be the tempering goal of not only medicine, but government and industry, especially when they team up to deploy new technologies, set policies and serve the people.

This blog exists to reveal and analyze areas in which these powerful groups are failing to "first do no harm."

Deep Brain Stimulator for Alzheimer's questioned


Using Electrical Stimulation For Alzheimer’s Disease: John Hopkins study.

The ADvance Study is researching the use of a surgically implanted device that delivers mild electrical pulses to specific areas of the brain in people with Alzheimer’s. This deep brain stimulation (known as DBS) will be given to the fornix, a place in the brain that plays a central role in memory. Based on results of a small study of 6 patients with Alzheimer’s*, the ADvance study is designed to determine if DBS of the fornix (DBS-f) is safe and has potential clinical benefit for patients with mild Alzheimer’s.
 
Treating memory loss such as Alzheimer's brings with a new Deep Brain Stimulator device implant sounds like an extreme measure. The researchers are not even sure if the device is safe. So, will the Alzheimer's patients who want to particpate please raise your hands?

The investment of time, money and focus put into this potential symptom treatment brings up questions:

Question:
Why hasn't the same amount of research effort gone into PREVENTION - especially into how memory and the brain are impacted by exploding exposure to microwave/radiofrequency people now experience?

Answer:
Reducing causes would reduce suffering and costs to U.S. health care. But new DBS equipment will be a profitable endeavor as memory-related conditions continue to rise.

Question:
Why are they so very careful about stimulating the brain here, yet totally oblivious to and careless about the impact of microwave/radiofrequency radiation's impacts to brains (and bodies)?

Answer: Money and power of the medical wireless industry.
