Thus the question: Can "brain cleansing" be made to occur during wakefulness? The answer is "Yes" according to RF Longevity. In a paper just published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11818883/pdf/jcm-14-00926.pdf), RF Longevity presents clinical studies showing that radiofrequency wave treatment to the brain during wakefulness through a non-invasive medical device can indeed induce brain cleansing.
The bioengineered radiofrequency technology utilized has the potential to counter deleterious effects of insomnia and sleep deprivation on brain toxin cleansing and to even reduce the amount of sleep normally required for brain toxin cleansing.
"An ability to safely induce brain cleansing during wakefulness is important because of the reduced sleep and sleep disturbances that occur during aging and in multiple brain disorders of aging such as Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease" said Dr. Gary Arendash, author of the paper and Principal at RF Longevity.
In clinical studies performed at the University of South Florida, Alzheimer's patients were given daily radiofrequency wave treatment during wakefulness at home by their caregivers. Both blood and brain levels of the toxins beta-amyloid and tau were measured at several months and 1-2 years into treatment.
Radiofrequency wave treatment resulted in a substantial increase in toxin drainage from the brain and into blood of the Alzheimer's patients. "It appears that radiofrequency wave treatment increases the natural flow of fluid out of the brain through meningeal lymphatic vessels" explained Dr. Arendash. "Acting as sinks, these lymphatic vessels normally carry around 50% of toxins and metabolic wastes out of the brain during sleep, but their flow is decreased in normal aging and Alzheimer's Disease".
Lack of sleep and sleep disturbances contribute to accumulation of the toxins beta-amyloid and tau in the brain, leading to Alzheimer's Disease. In the treated Alzheimer's patients, cognitive impairment was stopped and even reversed by 1-hour radiofrequency wave treatments to the entire brain during wakefulness.
"We are excited by the implications of these clinical findings, which appear to be the first to provide biomarker evidence of increased brain cleansing by any human clinical intervention" said Dr. Arendash. He emphasized the importance of additional clinical trials with this bioengineered technology in both normal humans and those with neurologic disorders of aging to determine the technology's full potential for human brain cleansing.
