Another EMF scam

[Asolepius]

Anyone seen this? (http://www.phonecard-services.co.uk/11_willautronic.asp) The manufacturer's website is in German so difficult for me - maybe there are some language buffs out there who can work out what is being said at www.willautronics.com.

I notice that the people selling it aren't exactly bursting with faith in the product.Justphone takes no responsibility whatsoever for any claims made by Willau Tronic or its distributors, and does not warrant that the willau electronic "chip" referred to will necessarily be effective in reducing or neutralising radio transmissions from any cellphone or mobile or wireless deviceThey don't even seem to be sure whether they can safely describe it as a chip!

This is gotta be a scam. Even assuming arguendo that cell phone frequencies have health consequences (they don't) a sticker on the battery is not going to affect the signal.

Just wear a tinfoil hat and all will be well.

Well, just to get started:

A Nobel Prize for medical science was awarded in 1992 for the discovery that life essential communication between cells, is conducted at a frequency of 400Hz.

Nope, it was awarded for "their discoveries concerning reversible protein phosphorylation as a biological regulatory mechanism. "

Unexplained peaks in many EEG's left these specialists puzzled - until quite by coincidence someone observed a Mobile Caller in the act of calling just as the unexplained peaks appeared. This showed a direct correlation between Mobile Telephone use and abnormal changes in brain activity.

Nope, it shows a direct correlation between a device that emits electromagnetic waves and another device designed to detect them (duh). An analogy: Stress causes skin resistance to drop. This can be measured with a simple ohmmeter. Connecting the probes of an ohmmeter with a wire will cause the ohmmeter to show a lower resistance. Therefore, wire causes abnormal stress.

I'm just putting together a complaint for the Office of Fair Trading about this. Do you have the reference for this Nobel prize malarky? Of course I challenged the advertisers but they stick to their claims.

They don't actually say on their website which prize it was, but I would have thought it ought to have been medicine: http://nobelprize.org/medicine/laureates/1992/index.html

Edited to add: I was looking at the wrong part of their page: the "Nobel prize" claim is on there twice, with only the first time specifying "medical science."

Thanks - very useful (I was too lazy to look myself;) )
