Kawaii Pseudoscience: Anti-radiation stickers

I purchase a lot of my clothing from Asian fashion sites and have seen this cute (or as you say in Japanese, kawaii) stickers. Some are from a cute Korean brand of stickers and day planners with a character called “Momoi”. These are the journals I use for keeping track of my schedule, so seeing these special gold versions caught my eye. I finally got around to asking what “anti-radiation” meant and my pseudoscience spidey-senses were right.

The Anti-Radiation Sticker is a highly advance breakthrough in technology which can successfully reduce the harmful effects of EMF radiation by up to 90%.

One of the key ingredients used is Bio Ceremies from Japan which is able to emit Negative Ions, FIR and Scalar Energy. In addition, the Negative Ions, FIR and Scalar Energy provide many other health beneficial properties as mentioned in the information regarding Negative Ions, FIR and Scalar Energy

My first thought was that this is a product that solves a problem that doesn’t exist: EMF from our wireless gadgets like cellphones and wifi hotspots don’t produce harmful radiation. Another red flag is that the product doesn’t just claim to protect you from radiation, but also produces health benefits; the same vague benefits you hear from pseudoscience products like power balance/ion bracelets…fights fatigue, chronic pain, improves “well being”. But here comes the major pseudoscience jargon!

What Is Scalar Energy?

Scalar energy is a subtle energy that can be harness to produce healing energy frequencies which is beneficial for our health and it also has the ability to abrupt direct current electrical charges. It is an energy which has existed since the beginning of time.

Just…wow…
