Hi,

Googling PatchD finds some stuff you can read (from memory – looked this up for 
a friend several months ago).

That all said, if there was some way of magically reducing harmful emissions by 
75%+ for the cost of some cheap raw materials, every phone manufacturer would 
have already done it. It’d cost them a few cents to implement, and they could 
market their phones as having 75% fewer harmful emissions.

Basically, these things are a scam.

Where would I even look for the current scientific data?

It's an old scam that feeds off fear.

The Federal Government’s safety watchdog, the Australian Radiation Protection 
and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA), does not recommend the use of products 
that attach to a phone and advertised as neutralising any harmful effects. “The 
claims are not consistent with current scientific knowledge and it is 
difficult, if not impossible, to verify any benefits,” it says in a fact sheet.

On radiation effects of mobiles or whether the device does what it says?
They're two separate things.

For the former some medical journals and research. For the latter you can
probably test it yourself easily if you find an app that dumps your phones
radio stats.

Without researching I would bet that the device DOES do what it says in
terms of lowering the SAR effectiveness of your phone (which the phone will
compensate for by thinking it is in a shit coverage area and dialling up
its transmit power).

I did read something specifically about those patches that said that some
woman or other developed breast cancer in the shape of a mobile phone from
sticking her phone down her bra. Survey says, bulshitt. If it
were true she would have developed breast cancer in the same of the phone's
antenna.

It's an old scam that feeds off fear.

*The Federal Government’s safety watchdog, the Australian Radiation
Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA), does not recommend the use
of products that attach to a phone and advertised as neutralising any
harmful effects. “The claims are not consistent with current scientific

It works on the principle of finding unsuspecting people who react strongly
to cancer scares and lightening their wallets.

If it actually does what it says it will probably make your phone go flat
faster too.
