theblackalchemist Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 New mobile chip to cut radiation BRUSSELS: Belgian health products distributor Omega Pharma will launch a chip it claims can counter potentially damaging radiation from mobilephones. The company, which sells non-prescription products such as wart treatments, pregnancy tests and sun tan lotions to pharmacists, unveiled the E-waves phone chip on Tuesday, a day before its launch in Belgium. Testing of the chip, which offsets the electromagnetic radiation from the phone, showed it lessened symptoms such as headaches and loss of concentration that might be associated with mobile phone use, Omega said. It also neutralized the heating effect within the body produced by electromagnetic signals. Testing of consumers appetite for the product, costing 38.95 euros, will start on Wednesday. Scientists worldwide remain split between those that believe there is a risk and others who believe there is insufficient evidence to show mobile phones are unsafe. In a study in August 2007, scientists found that just 10 minutes of chatting on cellular phones is enough to trigger such chemical changes in the brain that can increase the risk of cancer. A study this month found that long talks on cell phones can have adverse effects on memory.
