A Disk To Reduce EMI from Cell Phones?

2008-07-05 Thread Scott Douglas

Oh Mighty List,

Received an email from my sister with information about a product called 
the Neutralizer which uses a proprietary organic compound composed of 
natural earth elements which neutralizes the effect of man-made EMF 
exposure on human DNA. This product comes in the form of a sticker you 
can apply to your cell phone, computer monitor, etc. such that human 
DNA can be protected from the damaging effects of RF/EMF. Somewhere I 
read that it does not block or absorb EMI, but transforms it into 
coherent and non-harmful radiation emulating organic radiation (my 
words here). I also read something about a holographic disk. All in all 
I was rather confused, like I was going in circles.

I am not doing a great job of explaining this product so I ask you to 
visit: http://www.energeticnutrition.com/hi/neutralizer.html and see for 
yourselves. Scroll down to read all the material, especially the FAQ at 
the end. I also read one or two of the research papers here: 
http://www.aulterra.com/en-US/welcome/research.

I am not connected in any way with this product, except my sister bought 
some disks. I am really curious to know if anyone on the list has ever 
heard of this product? Or would someone else go check out these web 
sites and let me know what you think? On the one hand, it sounds like 
the holy grail of EMI fixes. On the other hand, maybe I need to take out 
a selling license for the product and plan to retire early.

All comments welcome, on or off list.

Best regards,

Scott Douglas

One of your most illustrious compatriots, the late Arthur C. Clarke,
compiled a list of stories published under the title, Tales from the White
Hart.  The White Hart being a fictional tavern where engineering and
scientific types would hang out after hours. The Tales are whoppers they
told each other in a well-lubricated competition to see who could spin the
biggest but yet seemingly plausible lie. It is a good read.  Another good
read might be a collection of the most bizarre (scientifically speaking)
items offered for sale on the Internet.

Maybe a collection of the least bizarre would be smaller? It is, in

RE: A Disk To Reduce EMI from Cell Phones?

2008-07-05 Thread 'Rich Nute'
Hi Scott:


So, I went to the web sites you cited.  Then, I went to
the citations.  For one of the citations, the abstract
says:

Levels of DNA single-strand break were assayed in brain cells from rats
acutely exposed to low-intensity 2450 MHz microwaves using an alkaline
microgel electrophoresis method. Immediately after 2 h of exposure to pulsed
(2 s width, 500 pulses/s) microwaves, no significant effect was observed,
whereas a dose rate-dependent [0.6 and 1.2 W/kg whole body specific
absorption rate (SAR)] increase in DNA single-strand breaks was found in
brain cells of rats at 4 h postexposure. Furthermore, in rats exposed for 2
h to continuous-wave 2450 MHz microwaves (SAR 1.2 W/kg), increases in brain
cell DNA single-strand breaks were observed immediately as well as at 4 h
postexposure. C 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

The FDA limits cell phone SAR to the head to 1.6 W/kg.

Cell phones operate at about 824-829 MHz, and 1850-1910 MHz.
I'm not sure how to compare 1.2 W/kg SAR at 2450 MHz with 
1.6 W/kg SAR at 1910 MHz or 829 MHz.  These frequencies are
from:

http://www.privateline.com/PCS/Frequencies.htm

The Quantum Biology Research paper reports cell phones 
operating at 2450 MHz.  I could not confirm that cell phones
operate at 2450 MHz.  See:

http://www.aulterra.com/en-US/pdf/index/QBResearch2006

This paper indicates the 2450 MHz is from a wireless phone,
not a cell phone.

Another web site says that the Neutralizer is made from 
homeopathically enhanced or crystalline matrix mixed into
the ink of the Neutralizer patch. These finely ground 
minerals and trace elements are derived from a rock 
discovered in Utah...

Here are several interesting reports on testing the 
Neutralizer:

http://www.shieldemf.com/files/1690372/uploaded/IIREC_Report.pdf
http://www.aulterra.com/en-US/pdf/index/Sun
http://www.aulterra.com/en-US/pdf/index/UCIrvine

Lots of information out there.  Seems like Aulterra has
been shipping their Neutralizer around for testing and
reports.  I wonder if the inventor knows how it works?


Best regards,
Rich

Look into that homeopathic process.  If I recall, a homeopathic solution is
made from the same irritant that it is proposed to fix, by diluting the
substance to extreme and using it to instill an immunity to the irritant.
