Laser helmet - a cure for Alzheimer's disease

British scientists have recently proposed a treatment for Alzheimer's disease represents a growing challenge for a rapidly aging population of developed countries. Designed by them radiates in the infrared laser helmet may impede or even cure a dangerous disease. The authors have developed an experimental model of the helmet for human testing after successful completion of the impact of infrared radiation on the brain tissue of mice. According to scientists, infrared radiation can stimulate the regeneration of nerve cells and lead to the elimination of dementia within a few weeks.

And if he looks like a helmet almost like a toy, the Alzheimer's disease itself is not. It affects mainly elderly people. Symptoms appear in progressive dementia, as the affected brain cells. In the expanded phase of the disease the person ceases to recognize even their own relatives. According to the American Association for the fight against Alzheimer's disease (Alzheimer's Association of America), only in the United States are sick about 5 million people and the economy loses annually about 148 billion U.S. dollars.

The helmet was designed by a team of scientists led by Dr. Gordon Douglom (Gordon Dougal) of the company Virulite, occupied by the research projects in medical technology. The methodology is an infrared laser irradiation of a patient with a brain to stimulate the regeneration of the cells. Initially, the technology to be used for the treatment of herpes. According to the assurances of the author of a daily ten-minute laser effects can slow or even reverse the development of Alzheimer's disease.
