Many companies selling EMF protection stickers make claims that have not been substantiated scientifically. Some products use pseudo-scientific language or rely on anecdotal evidence to promote their effectiveness. It's essential to be cautious about products that claim to provide protection without credible lab testing to back up their claims. The Biohacking community has long been aware of EMF's and has seen many products designed for their use. Orgonite and various crystals claim to have neutralizing affects on EMF's - but I've not yet seen any lab testing substantiating the efficacy of these products. And today there are a plethora of products that claim to protect consumers. But do they really work or are they just scams?
Some people may acquire a home testing EMF kit to assert product claims. Home testing is much different than lab testing. Your home readings can be affected with interference from wifi routers, cell phones, lap tops and modems. Any of these could affect the reading. The labs used by WaveBlock are all certified and free of outside interference.
An independent lab engineer and EMF Expert, Eddie Hughes, has spent over 30 years in this field. He recently tested 5 popular Amazon products for their effectiveness. His results were astounding. (see video below). Only one product (WaveBlock) actually achieved a significant reduction in EMF exposure, while the others had minimal to negative effects on the user. Since not everyone has access to laboratory environments, to get an accurate reading, it's important to request and study lab tests for verification of the product claims.
WaveBlock, Quantum Shield, Shungite EMF Protection, 24 Karat Gold Anti Radiation, Dr Valerie Nelson and EMR Energy Protection were all tested in the same lab with the same laboratory conditions and on the same iPhone. Of all those, EMR had a slight reduction in EMFs, while WaveBlock had a SIGNIFICANT Reduction. The others had little to no positive effect, and some actually can increase the EMF's instead of reducing them. See what the world health organization says about EMF radiation.

The bottom line - consumers should approach EMF claims with caution. Request laboratory test results. While acquiring products may give a sense of being protected, in reality those products may be scams, playing on your emotions. Products with integrity, like WaveBlock, will openly publish lab results and you can rest comfortably knowing your EMF products are working to protect you and your children.
Watch the biggest comparison of EMF protection stickers for
It's an established fact that mobile phones emit harmful EMF radiation. It's great that this is finally getting the coverage it deserves. Not too long ago, 250 scientists from around the world signed a joint petition advocating for greater awareness over mobile radiation. Since then, lawsuits have been filed against Apple and Samsung for their botch radiation measurements. The industry is being forced to look inwards at how phones may be contributing to a future public health issue and the WHO has finally formally installed mobile radiation as a 'possible cause of cancer'.
It certainly seems like coverage of EMF is moving in the right direction. With the new rollout with 5G, the radiation agenda has picked up even more pace. However, in the wake of newfound coverage, people have begun to spread incorrect information about EMF and how to prevent it. One such fallacy is using charms or stickers to protect you from radiation.
Here, we will answer the question; do cell radiation stickers work to shield you from mobile radiation?
What are Radiation Stickers?Radiation stickers are small attachable stickers that you can place on your , sometimes on the itself and sometimes over the earpiece. The basic idea is that they attract and absorb radiation emitted by the . These have been around for decades, but recently, they've become much more popular as manufacturers jump on the bandwagon and market them as the magic bullet for mobile radiation. There are many different types of radiation stickers available and some are much more expensive than others. Many are marketed to reduce radiation by some 99%.
Radiation stickers typically contain metals that are designed to deflect and/or absorb radiowaves. It is true that metals do act as a conductor of radiation, but the question is, where do they conduct the radiation to?
Do Cell Radiation Stickers Work?There are few scientific studies on whether radiation stickers work or not. All existing studies are united in their answer to the question 'do cell radiation stickers work?'
The answer is no.
The Federal Trade Commission in America said that most EMF or radiation stickers were scams. The Chicago Tribune, the publication that launched a lawsuit over EMF measurements to Apple and Samsung also published an article strongly doubting the effectiveness of radiation stickers. One study in found EMF/radiation stickers to have no reducing effect on radiation. In fact, they found that they could actually increase the radiation emitted by as it compensated by boosting its signal output.
The scientific study that found EMF stickers to be totally ineffective was commissioned by Corporate EME Research Laboratory and Motorola Florida Research laboratories. With the mention of 'Motorola', you may think there could be a conflict of interest here, but ultimately, radiation stickers do not threaten the mobile industry. The study used the same methods used by laboratories to test mobile radiation using SAR measurements. SAR stands for 'specific absorption rate'. You can read up more about SAR specifically on the WaveWall blog here.
SAR measurements are conducted by taking a and placing it next to various phantom bodyparts, e.g. a model designed like a human head. Radiation detection instruments are then used to measure how much radiation travels from the device into the body part. SAR measures how much radiation is actually absorbed by human tissues. After all, this is when radiation actually becomes dangerous ' when it is absorbed.
The study used 9 different cell radiation shields, attached them to the in the instructed manner and then tested SAR, comparing it to a control group of the same phones without the stickers. 5 of these stickers claimed to absorb 99% of radiation. The other 4 stickers claimed to actually emit their own 'safe' radiation that cancelled out the 'bad' radiation.
All of the stickers failed to have any statistical effect on reducing SAR levels.
There is scant evidence on the effectiveness of EMF stickers and manufacturers have not commissioned any convincing studies of their own to prove that they work. Indeed, manufacturing a radiation sticker and claiming it works is remarkably easy. They're also likely very cheap to produce. Back in , the Federal Trade Commission fined two manufacturers of EMF stickers, saying that there was 'no evidence' that they worked and that manufacturer claims were fabricated.
If EMF stickers worked then they would be everywhere by now. They would probably even be incorporated into cases or shipped with the phones in some way. There is no reason why manufacturers would ignore them if they were indeed the magic bullet for absorbing radiation. At the end of the day, manufacturers have to be seen to make some effort in the fight again mobile radiation and if they could reasonably endorse EMF stickers then there's no reason to think they wouldn't.
The only other information on EMF stickers comes from within the internet community on sites such as Quora and Reddit. Users have been sharing their opinions and the general consensus is that there is no conceivable way why EMF stickers would work.

Why Don't They Work?So, the low down is that EMF stickers don't work. There really is no point in wasting your money on them. But why don't they work?
EMF stickers are usually pretty small and attach only to one part of a . The trouble is, the entire emits radiation. A sticker attached on one part of the would be ineffective at absorbing radiation even if the technology itself did actually work. You need something to cover the entirety of one side of a , the side that is closest to the body. This ensures that radiation does not pass from the entire surface of the into the body through that side.
Depending on where the sticker is placed, your signal may drop as a result of the sticker. This simply means your will ramp up its efforts to find a signal. Studies have already shown that phones are at their most dangerous when they're struggling to find signal or reception. This is why EMF stickers have been found to increase the radiation outputs of phones. When your increases its signal locating capacities, excess radiation is dispersed over the entire and the sticker cannot compensate for this.
It is unlikely that the material used in most EMF stickers absorbs anything at all, apart from possibly a tiny amount of heat. Most stickers are not manufactured using materials that are proven to be effective at absorbing or dispersing radiation at all.
Mobile radiation can't be stopped by stickers, charms or anything of the sort. Nevertheless, they unfortunately remain a popular choice. This leaves people vulnerable to electromagnetic fields and frequencies, and mobile radiation, even though they think they are protected.
Anti-radiation charms attach to key rings or can be worn as necklaces or other jewellery. You may have already heard of the anti-5G USB stick that was recently retailing for some £300+. Once taken apart, it was promptly outed as a normal USB stick ' a complete scam!
Unfortunately, though the sentiment or idea of jewellery, charms and other devices protecting us from radiation is quite nice, they just don't work. The thought that radiation somehow just travels into a charm or pendant to be absorbed and disappear forever is absurd.
It's a shame because cell radiation protection is important and also pretty straightforward.
Luckily, there is a real, scientifically backed and proven, way to protect yourself from cell radiation.
The Real Alternative to Cell Radiation StickersSo, cell radiation stickers don't work ' what does? Anti-radiation cases do work.
Anti-radiation cases are completely different to EMF stickers.
Anti-radiation cases cover the whole . This means that radiation is dispersed across the case. Different components may produce different levels of radiation and it's important for them all to be covered.
The primary idea of anti-radiation cases is to protect you from radiation whilst the is in your pocket. However, when phones are held to your head, dispersing radiation across the case is more effective for keeping mobile signal in-tact.
cases by WaveWall use high-quality independently tested and verified material that block 87% of mobile radiation. WaveWall cases work by using metallic threads woven into the fabric of the case. This is a form of Faraday cage, which was invented by Michael Faraday in . It's a well known scientific principle and used in lots of different technology. The metallic threads or bars block electromagnetic fields.
But the can still be used as normal because the Faraday sleeve only covers one side of the . The other is free to receive calls, texts and data as normal. But the side against the body blocks the mobile radiation from going any further.
