What is the best EMF reducing sticker or system/product?

More and more information is coming out about the harms of EMF coming from our phones. I found out that the iPhone 12 is actually banned in other countries because of how much radiation it puts out, and Apple has a warning not to sleep with your phone near you while it’s charging. It doesn’t say why it says it’s risk or dangerous but it doesn’t tell you what the risk or dangerous but it’s the fact that it’s microwaving you slowly at night


I do not understand why they don’t sell EMF reducing/protection stickers in the accessory areas of phone stores! Next to the phone cases. The one I’ve heard of is the one that the UFC just entered in a contract with to promote, but they’re like two or 300 per sticker


Does anyone have any information about what is the best way to reduce these frequencies? I don’t wanna get ripped off by company that doesn’t do it it promises.

iPhone 13, iOS 17

It was not banned in other countries, there was an issue with the way France was reading EMF levels, this has been fixed.

Apple never put out a warning not to sleep with it near you, they put out a warning saying not to have it in bed while charging because of possible overheating issues if get gets wrapped up in the blankets or stuck under a pillow.


Those EMF shields are a complete scam, they would have to be put on the side of the phone that faces your head to block EMF from your brain, that would mean covering the front screen.


Do yourself a favor and read up on non-ionizing radiation which is what your phone puts out

Well here’s the thing, the studies I read that concerned me use a control group. The control group was not made up purely of sun deprived caveman, nor did researchers use a time machine to find pioneers to study in contrast to modern people.


Multiple modalities were employed in these kinds of research studies, and one example is comparing the instances a certain kinds of tumors to the side of the head that a person will hold their phone to during phone calls. By studying the side of the head that received more direct exposure, they were able to glean info despite the pervasive global factors like WiFi and “the sun”.


Maybe you will read this and then want to redirect your sarcastic remarks to the researchers. I’m just a regular person that’s trying to protect myself! If you were reasonable, I think you understand why a normal person (I.e., myself - hopefully) would be concerned after reading studies like this.


Why is it that that my merely feeling concerned - after reading concerning research - triggered you to reply in a haughty and unhelpful manner? Would you expect any reasonable person to feel any other way? Maybe your distain should be directed at the researchers or pub-med for publishing these studies, if you believe this is misinformation? No reason to be rude to me.


But since you have time to be rude to me, maybe you have time to scan and glance through the study below. Its not a single study but refers to meta analysis- here’s a quote followed by the link


“The most recent attempt to systematically review the epidemiologic evidence for increased risk of brain tumors related to cell phone use indicates that repercussions from this global experiment are coming to light. In a meta-analysis published in the May 2008 issue of the International Journal of Oncology, Swedish researchers found significant associations between long-term cell phone use and brain tumor risk.”

I figured the stickers were scam, which is why I was asking. I was hoping someone had had information about one that might actually work. The reason I’m still concerned can be described from this quote below from the study I linked,


Well, I thought they might be a scam and that’s kind of why I was asking. I thought maybe people might have research on whether or not those things actually worked.


I do wish you would actually read the study though. I’m not sure that that non-ionizing radiation information is still accurate.

just google “Cancer: Strong Signal for Cell Phone Effects by ” to read the whole article since it seems I can’t link it. There’s nothing noble about not wanting to look at all sides of an issue. It’s not that hard for big companies, especially tech companies, to slow the release of information that hurts their bottom line. There might be something to it.

And I’m not dwelling on this for me, believe it or not I’m actually trying to be helpful to you. Sounds like you had some incorrect information seen as the phone WAS banned, and the problem wasn’t how France read levels. I double and triple quadruple checked. If you had that info, it’s possible that you aren’t up-to-date on the newest information about potential harms. Believe it or not I’m actually trying to be helpful


Its so strange to me how people seem visibly irritated by other people being concerned about things that they don’t think they should be concerned about. It’s like you can disagree sure, but to be rude like the other poster was just right off the bat? I don’t understand that.


Instead of asking me, why I’m so concerned about this, which I think should be obvious, I would be more curious why the other guy took time out of his(?) day to reply to my OP in a way that is intentionally unhelpful and rude. To me that makes a lot less sense than my being worried after reading concerning research - found on a reputable government website!


Don’t worry, I’m done now!
