Medicine Here I Come!
I’ve always joked since 2001 that I’m planning a shift in career. I’m thinking of going into neurology because we are currently in the business of having as many people use their cell phones as often as possible. In 10-15 years down the line, these same cell phone fiends would provide a steady stream of patients to make me rich. Control the supply chain right?
Well, according to a study, constant use of of having microwaves near our brains would cause “proteins to leak across the blood-brain barrier” which would cause senility.
My point being…
…geez…
…what was my point?
I forgot…

I read that too.
I don’t my cellphone too often. Only when it’s absolutely necessary. I turn it off most of the time. But I still get neurotic. Why? Outside the house, I hear them ringing. Inside the moviehouse, in the restaurant, at the mall, at parties, in my kids’ school. At home, I hear them all the time too, my husband’s, my kids’,…They kick me off the computer to download polyphonic tones (am I spelling it right?), screensavers, etc. Then, they play the tones over and over again. Drive me nuts.
Don’t have to use the cellphone so often to feel nutty about it.

Like it’s driving me nuts that when I post comments on someone else’s blog, my spelling sucks and I even miss out whole words.

Sounds like pseudoscience to me. I’d blame diet, lifestyle and environmental pollutants like hydrocarbons and lead before I blame microwaves.
By the way, the blood-brain barrier is the mechanism through which blood vessels in the brain keep substances — such as proteins and certain chemicals — from entering brain matter. Think of it as a Cerebral Berlin Wall. I have no idea how microwaves can open it up.
