Do you feel that you need protecting from all that scary electromagnetic radiation that is coming out of your mobile phone?
Well if so, then I have great news, there is a product called “LifeTune One” from Aires Tech that claims to do just that for you. At just under $90 a pop it just has to be a bargain. You can also pickup a bundle of 6 so that all the family, along with the family cat and/or dog can also be protected for the bargain basement price of just $479.95 USD, assuming of course that your family cat and/or dog makes regular mobile calls.
Oh sorry, did I just max out your Bullshit detector?
If so, then congratulations, you skeptical alarm is indeed well tuned.
Aries Tech will supposedly not only protect your mobile, they also make their “technology” (yes we need air quotes there), available in other ways …
This is all deeply essential stuff if you have more money than common sense, and are desperate to toss away your hard-earned cash by both impoverishing yourself and also enriching a couple of fraudsters.
You can also of course cut out all the middle men by taking your hard earned cash out into the back yard and setting fire to it. At least it then keeps you warm for a few minutes and so you derive some actual but very brief benefit.
What do Aires Tech claim?
They sell you literally a sticker to put on your mobile – that is supposedly their “technology”.
Once embellished you can then wave about your mobile with this sticker on it to proudly declare to the world that you are indeed deeply stupid and oh so very gullible. All your family and friends will be truly “impressed”.
“But what if …“
Oh OK, let’s do it then, let’s now go there.
Here is the claim that they con people with (No I’ll not link to them, but if really curious then you can indeed google – airestech dot com) …
When it comes to EMF protection, Aires stands out with scientific evidence to back its effectiveness. Our solutions have been rigorously tested, published, peer-reviewed, and patented, giving you peace of mind.
As I already mentioned, what they are actually conning you into buying is a sticker that you can put on your smartphone to supposedly reduce the harmful EMF radiation emitted.
They also claim …
BACKED BY 22 GLOBAL PATENTS, 25+ CLINICAL TRIALS, 9 PEER-REVIEWED STUDIES
If I previously maxed out your BS detector, then the above icing on the cake will have caused it to go thermonuclear. You should bill them for its destruction. For a replacement I can highly recommend a new iron-clad industrial-strength bullshit meter, because over the next four years you really are going to need it. (Yes, RFK Jnr, we are looking at you).
Here now is the quick TL;DR; version of what is yet to come further on below in more detail (and yes, guessing this required you to exercise exactly zero psychic ability) …
- No, you don’t need protecting from EMF radiation from mobile phones, the claim that there is any risk is bullshit
- It’s just a sticker, they are not selling you any “technology”. Their patent is literally science fiction – or to render it into a more technical term – RUB (Raw Unadulterated Bullshit).
- No they don’t have any credible peer-reviewed studies or clinical trials to back any of this up. The claim that they do is … (yes, you nailed it) … bullshit.
What you have here is pure fraud, a total scam.
That’s all a spoiler for the rest, so let’s now get into the detail.
Should You be worried about electromagnetic radiation from Mobile Phones?
Shock! horror! mobile phones emit electromagnetic radiation.
Well duh! they are mobile phones, that’s what they are supposed to do, that’s how they work, they emit and receive radio waves. If you block or mess with that EMF, then they will cease to function.
“Ah yes but“, some might quip, “you hold it up to your head, so is there a risk because from that close exposure?“
Short answer: No.
Slightly Longer Answer: This has been extensively studied since the 1990s, the answer really is no. The watts your mobile emits is really really low, it will do you no harm.
Let’s get a tad technical for a second. The watts of EMF from a Mobile Phone is non-ionising.
Oh, what does that mean?
That basically means that it does not carry enough energy to ionize atoms or molecules. As a bit of a contrast, ionising radiation, such as X-Rays and Gamma-rays do, and so that has the potential to break chemical bonds and do damage.
Low wattage non-ionising radiation literally can’t harm you, there is not enough energy there.
“Yes but I’m still worried“
People have been concerned, so in 1996 the World Health Organization established the International EMF (Electric and Magnetic Fields) Project to extensively study this.
After over two decades of extensive research, and also literally billions of active users using it daily for over a quarter of a century now, they found nothing and concluded “no adverse health effects have been established as being caused by mobile phone use“
You do however personally face a huge risk of radiation damage.
Wait what!
No not from mobile phones, but from something else.
The source I am referring to causes between 100,000 and 1 million cancers each year in the US.
Skin cancer.
Yes, I’m talking about too much exposure to the sun, that’s your big radiation risk, so slap on the suncream when out and about, and wear a hat.
If indeed you truly do worry about EMF, then you need to blackout all windows because all that light coming in via them is a source of EMF that is far more powerful than anything coming from a mobile. God forbid that any EMF photons would touch your delicate outer membrane, so best to also keep all the lights off and sit permanently in the dark.
On the other hand, you could also try an experiment – Buy one of these magic “technology” stickers, pop that on your head they go stand out in the sunshine for the day and see how well that works out. Actually no, don’t do that, because it really is totally a scam. Fraudsters will happily drum up unwarranted fear to sell you worthless crap.
Let’s assume for a moment as a thought experiment, and this next bit requires a huge leap into pure science fiction, that there is a small risk. Even if that risk was real, and it really is not, then this Lifetune Aires Tech “technology” is still BS that does absolutely nothing.
If you are indeed worried about brain damage, then there is also another radiation exposure risk worth mentioning – the EMF coming out of your TV while watching Fox News can indeed scramble your brain, so it’s best to avoid that.
You really don’t need to take my word regarding the safety of mobiles. Here are a couple of links created by Subject Matter Experts.
Links
- National Cancer Institute – Cell Phones and Cancer Risk – They explain, step by step, why the supposed rick of cancer from Cell Phones is bullshit.
- FDA – Do Cell Phones Pose a Health Hazard? – TL;DR; “No”.
What about the Aires Tech patented “technology”?
They claim they have a patent – WIPO Publication Number # WO/2021/064446
OK, let’s go there and take a look.
The WIPO is the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). They assign international publication numbers to each published patent application. They simply register patents, they don’t validate and check if the patent is for something real.
FYI … WIPO numbers are structured as follows:
- WO: A two-letter code
- Year: A four-digit indication of the year of publication
- Slash: A slash /
- Serial number: A six-digit serial number
What do we find if we look up their reference?
Yep, we find the “patient”, but the content is total bullshit.
It basically claims that their sticker is a “fractal-metrix transformer” that will convert non-coherent radiation into coherent radiation. They even include a helpful picture along with an abstract filled with meaningless techno-babble …
Is non-coherent vs coherent radiation a thing?
Actually yes. If you study physics then you may come across those terms.
Let’s switch to light, which is of course a type of EMF, so that you can quickly grasp what these terms mean.
Coherent light is a type of light where the waves are in phase with each other. This means that the peaks and troughs of the waves are aligned, resulting in a uniform and stable beam of light. Non-coherent light, on the other hand, is light where the waves are not in phase with each other. This results in a beam of light that is not uniform and can vary in intensity and direction. Examples of coherent light include laser light, while examples of non-coherent light include sunlight and incandescent light bulbs.
If these guys really were messing with mobile phone signals like this, then your mobile phone would cease to function … period.
All they are actually doing is crafting an illusion of sciency sounding stuff, and so they have created a totally bogus and completely science fiction patient to help with the scam. You can literally file a patient with almost any gibberish you can dream up, it need not be factual.
Really?
Sure you can. For example WO/2012/046284 is a patent for time travel.
If curious about whacky and weird patents then here you go – Each year WIPO publish a list of the weird and wild stuff people actually patient – Here is their 2023 list. We await the end-of-year 2024 list with bated breath.
Before we move on I’ll run that past you once again – You don’t need to prove that your “invention” works to get a patent. Instead, all you do is describe the technical details to get one, and those “technical” detail can indeed be science fiction. Having a patent verifies nothing.
But they have peer-reviewed studies that confirm it all .. right?
OK, let’s go there now.
They claim that their Peer-reviews were … “Conducted by The Planetary Association for Clean Energy, Inc. NGO in Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations“
Is this “Planetary Association for Clean Energy” credible?
(Get ready to roll out your shocked face).
No.
They are a group of cranks that nurture pseudoscientific bullshit. Here are a few notable hits …
- Electromagnetic plague (William [Van] Bise)
- Castor Oil Packs – soft energy medicine (Frederick Gregory)
- Additional method for visualizing acupuncture networks (A. Michrowski)
- Tachyon energy applied (A. Michrowski)
- We are walking antennas! (Eldon Byrd)
The Aires Tech “Peer Reviews” consists of papers that they themselves wrote and then pipelined into this bastion of crackpottery to craft the illusion of it in some way being scientifically credible.
Their “papers” are not only gibberish, but also cite numerous real publications that do not in any meaningful way relate to any of the content. It’s enough to befuddle many, but it has exactly zero scientific credibility.
Also worth mentioning
The Toronto Star does a nice takedown. Published last Oct and titled “This ‘magical amulet’ claims to protect you from electromagnetic radiation. Why are John Tavares, RJ Barrett and Canada Basketball backing it?“
Here are a few juicy extracts from that …
…Even Russell Brand, the controversial comedian who was accused last year of rape and sexual assault, has hawked Aires Tech, calling it a “magical amulet” that protects you from “Wi-Fi and all sorts of evil energies.”…
…“Oh my God, classic bunk,” said Timothy Caulfield, a professor at the University of Alberta and former Canada Research Chair in health law and policy. “Using fear mongering to create a harm that doesn’t exist in order to sell a product that is scientifically implausible.”…
...In promotional material, Aires says its products work with a “proprietary silicon-based resonator.” “These are very technical words that are put together and don’t mean anything to me,” Legros said. “I don’t know what else to say.” …
…“You have the risk of people falling for dangerous misinformation that is dividing us and that is undermining democracy,” said Hodson, the Canada Research Chair in digital communication for the public interest, “(all) because I stopped on a website to buy a little electromagnetic protective jewel.”…
Also of note is that Jennifer Sanlin published on Nov 22 just a few weeks back the following within Boing Boing – “Former comedian Russell Brand ended up selling “magical amulets” for “EMF protection“
I really like this gem of a quote via her article that comes originally from “Backlog Reviewer” Evan …
Climbing this chain back out of hell, we’re left with Russell Brand, shilling a plastic keyring for a company whose scientific justification is the most obvious woo I have ever read, backed by a foundation who cite a mind control expert in their list of publications.
I don’t have a point to make here except that Russell Brand and those he associates with (Jordan Peterson specifically lmao) are obvious, blatant charlatans, hucksters and frauds who prey upon people unwilling to do the modicum of googling I did today.
They target the ill, parents with young children, and the mentally unstable, preying on fears and insecurities about the modern age. They will tell you that an invisible contagion travelling on the air will turn your brain to jelly and transform you into a feminist.
They are gutter-slime, willing to take advantage of frightened, foolish people to make a quick buck, and should never be taken seriously by anybody, ever. A tremendously embarrassing group of people.
Yep, the term “gutter-slime” does indeed sum up Aires Tech rather well.
Aires Tech are not the only EMF Scam in town
Others have been running similar EMF scams for some time now. Aires Tech are simply better at parcelling it all up with sciency sounding gibberish and then using gullible celebrities to market it.
Here are a few other runners-up of BS EMF-Protection products that are available on Amazon right now (Yes, I’ve complained about them in the past, and no Amazon do nothing about it).
Here is a special cover for your WiFi router to protect you from harmful EMF radiation …
If it actually worked, and blocked all that supposedly nasty EMF then your WiFi would stop working – gosh I wonder why?
Then, not looking too hard, you also have all this BS …
Yep, more magic stickers that will do absolutely nothing at all except to reduce your bank balance.
Bottom Line: It’s official, with the Trump win we really do now live in the stupidest timeline.
