OK, I have some time, so let me explain why I think this is worthy of nothing but ridicule:
Basically, it's a circular Mylar sticker that, they claim, when put on the back of your cell phone, will "block the harmful radiation from damaging your brain cells and DNA".
*snip*
The claim is is that inside this paper-thin sticker are Earth elements that will not block, but neutralize EMF radiation and that this radiation can cause damage to your brain and all sorts of other ailments.
You cannot "neutralize" EMF waves without blocking them. If you block the EMF waves from your cell-phone (you could do this by wrapping it in tin foil), you will loose your connection, so you might as well turn it off (which would
really neutralize the radiation
). Worse still, if you
partially block the radiation, the cellphone, trying to maintain connection, will actually step up its transmitting power, so at best, you have the same radiation. At worst, it is higher.
The company is founded by some MLM people and the designer of the product is some quack homeopath who's a supposed expert on neutralizing radiation.
Do you have a name? (Not Roger Coghill, I hope)
The second product is a 4" X 4" pillow that sells for about $80 which is supoosedly the little sticker on steroids. More on that later. Their third product is a little plug you put into an electrical outlet in your home and will "neutralize harmful radiation within a 4,000 sq. ft. range." OK.
No, not OK. EM waves move in straight lines (except in a star class gravity field). There is no way you can bend or block them, except by getting in their path. You can have no divice which will suck up EMF from its vicinity (if you could, they would sell like hot donuts, all over the place).
So this is the reason I say there is no need to test. It is an obvious scam. To work, it would need an entirely different set of physical laws.
"A study was done shows that there is a possibility that EMF radiation from cell phones may cause brain tumors." So, to the lay-person in need of a new bandwagon, that translates to "A study concluded that cell phones cause cancer."
Exactly. When in fact multible studies have been conducted on this, and the results remain inconclusive. Even this may indicate to some that there might be something, but what it really tells us is that it is very unlikely, and if there is an effect, it is so low that we are not able to measure it.
- Their main product is this little, 1" diameter mylar sticker. Their claim is that cell phones put out so much electro-magnetic radiation that it screws up your brain.
And that is exactly what a lot of studies have been unable to show.
A straight lie. Headsets (wireless, I presume) have an output power at least one order of magnitude lower than that of a cell-phone.
so by adhering this sticker on the back of your phone, it doesn't block the radiation, it "neutralizes" it. They never went into a detailed explanation as to what this was, but that's the claim they made repeatedly.
Impossible: This kind of radiation is extremely 'clean' spectrum-wise, and there are no parts of it you can filter away without actually blocking it. (It is not like sunlight, where you can filter out the UV part)
Supposedly it works in a 3' radius from the phone, so even people you might be standing next to in an elevator are safe when this little disk is nearby.
Impossible. This would violate the laws of physics.
- The sticker also blocks harful EMF radiation from other devices. They seemed to focus a lot on microwave ovens for some reason and they made a claim that some unknown research team did a study on EMF radiation on microwaves and the best product they could find to date could only block 50% of them. This little sticker could block up to 90%.
A simple aluminum plate can block 90% of the radiation from a source, but only in the area where the plate is directly between the source of the radiation and you (and even then only for a short distance behind it).
- Another claim was that electronics in general produce harmful levels of EMF radiation and that these little stickers solved that problem. Other devices they focused on were electric stoves and computer mice. They went on to say that most wrist ailments such are nothing more than EMF poisoning and that this disk will cure it.
Well, as long as you are making outrageous claims, why not go all the way? Why didn't they claim it could protect you gainst lightning?
- Simply by placing this little disk near some non-organic fruit for about 15 minutes, it would turn it into organic fruit. The audience cheered at this one.
Yes, and it can turn water into wine!
- The way the device works is that there is a thin layer of film on the top of the disk, followed by 3 layers of a "rare-earth, paramagnetic mineral" which neutralizes bad EMF radiation. They actually gave me one of these sickers and I could see no evidence that there were 3 layers of anything inside. It just looks like a mylar stiker.
It doesn't matter what is in it or not. There is
nothing that can do what they claim (except magic, of course).
- The sticker could help detox damaged DNA caused by EMF radiation.
And prevent hurricanes! Was there a hurricane in the room? No? Well, that's your proof!
So what do you guys think of all this?
They are deliberate frauds and liars. Even if they don't understand the physics part, all their "tests" are rigged, and they know it.
I really think you should not accept money from these guys, because that money ultimately comes from scamming some people.
