Alzheimer’s disease is an insidious disease that kills hundreds of thousands and causes untold pain for the family. This helmet can help reverse the symptoms with as little as ten minutes per day. Infra-red light causes the brain to create more cells.
“The study at Sunderland found that exposing middle-aged mice to infrared light for six minutes a day for ten days improved their performance in a three-dimensional maze,” the Daily Mail reported. “In the human trials, due to start this summer, the scientists will use levels of infra-red that occur naturally in sunlight.”
Luckily, the people that wear this helmet, won’t remember the next day.
"Currently all you can do with dementia is to slow down the rate of decay - this new process will not only stop that rate of decay but partially reverse it," he said.
"The implications of this research at Sunderland are enormous - so much so that in the future we could be able to affect and change the rate at which our bodies age," he said.
"We age because our cells lose the desire to regenerate and repair themselves. This ultimately results in cell death and decline of the organ functions - for the brain resulting in memory decay and deterioration in general intellectual performance.
An Alzheimer's Society spokesman said: "A treatment that reverses the effects of dementia rather than just temporarily halting its symptoms could change the lives of the hundreds of thousands of people. We look forward to further research to determine whether this technique could help improve cognition in humans."
