Radiation Kits

Following our "Cell Phones - The New Speed" story in issue 077 of Ninfomania, we are pleased to find that there are now a number of radiation devices to help protect you from this corporate cancer cover-up.

You might still be told that cell phones are "scientifically proven not to cause irritation", but to have complete piece of mind [and a virus free one], check out some of these new products that we found on Wired News.

The product: Less EMF, a line of radiation-shielding products, including phone jackets and earpiece shields. The pitch: "There's been a number of studies that the head heats up as [a person] uses the cell phone," said Less EMF president Emil DeToffol. "There's the potential for DNA damage." The company also says the devices will ward off headaches, a heat sensation near the ear, disorientation, and irritability. The price: From $30 to $35, sold over the Less EMF Web site or by phone.

The product: No-Danger, a quarter-sized mesh phone shield the distributor claims will block a phone's electromagnetic waves from entering your head. The pitch: "You're holding the phone right next to your ear where the electromagnetic waves can penetrate the brain via the ear duct," said Tom Carroll, co-founder of SV1, the company that imports the product from Japan. "What No- Danger does is eliminate the electromagnetic waves from going into your inner ear." Carroll said No-Danger has sold well in Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China. The company says a No-Danger patch lasts a year and a half. The price: US$24.95, bought over the Web or phone.

The product: Barneys New York Trenchcoat, with shielded cell-phone pocket. The pitch: Last fall, the upscale department store ran a small advertisement in The New York Times describing the coat. Barneys fielded many inquiries from customers intrigued by the special pocket. "That's the only thing that sold the coat in my opinion," said Andrew Handschin, the store's manager of men's clothing. The trench coat is lined and waterproof, but the pocket makes it unique. The inside breast pocket includes a metallic mesh fibre that will allegedly block cell phone radiation. The price: $595. Available in the Barneys store or by mail order. The store still has a few left, and Handschin said more are likely on the way.
