Some studies show that certain frequencies blast amyloid plaques. It has been claimed that when scientists combined visual and auditory stimulation for a week, they saw the engagement of the prefrontal cortex and a very dramatic reduction of amyloid.

Regarding the utilization of mechanical and electromagnetic waves in Alzheimer's disease (AD), it is worth noting that the neurohormetic effects associated with AD are not confined to light and sound or their combinations. Several studies have demonstrated that low levels of both ionizing radiation, such as X-rays, and non-ionizing radiation, such as radiofrequency radiation, can either prevent the onset of AD or decelerate its progression.
To review the neurohormetic effects of radiofrequency radiation, please refer to: ". Shirbandi K, et al. Exposure to Low Levels of Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields Emitted from Cell-phones as a Promising Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease: A Scoping Review Study. J Biomed Phys Eng. 2023 Feb 1;13(1):3-16. doi: 10.31661/jbpe.v0i0.2109-1398. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36818013/ and for a review of the neurohormetic effects of X-rays, please see: Bevelacqua JJ, Mortazavi SMJ. Alzheimer 's Disease: Possible Mechanisms Behind Neurohormesis Induced by Exposure to Low Doses of Ionizing Radiation. J Biomed Phys Eng. 2018 Jun 1;8(2):153-156. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29951441/
The first study by Shirbandi et al. (2023) is a scoping review study that discusses the potential of exposure to low levels of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) emitted from cell phones as a promising treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The authors reviewed various studies that investigated the effects of RF-EMF exposure on the brain, including those that showed improved cognitive function in animal models and clinical studies in humans. They concluded that RF-EMF exposure may have a therapeutic effect on Alzheimer's disease and suggested that further research is needed in this area.
The second study by Bevelacqua and Mortazavi (2018) discusses the possible mechanisms behind neurohormesis induced by exposure to low doses of ionizing radiation in the context of Alzheimer's disease. The authors reviewed various studies that showed beneficial effects of low-dose ionizing radiation on the brain, including improved cognitive function and reduced amyloid beta plaques. They suggested that low-dose radiation may activate cellular stress response pathways that have neuroprotective effects and may be a potential therapeutic approach for Alzheimer's disease. However, they also noted that more research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms behind this phenomenon and to determine the optimal dose and duration of exposure.
This is a complex issue, and I believe we could benefit from hearing a range of viewpoints. Would anyone like to share their thoughts?
