Dutch nuclear authority bans anti-5G pendants that could hurt their owners via - you guessed it - radiation

(2021/12/17)


The Dutch Authority for Nuclear Safety and Regulation Protection has banned a list of so-called anti-5G necklaces, wristbands and eye masks because they could harm their gullible users.

The agency commissioned a study by the Netherlands’ National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) found that many of these so-called radiation protection devices actually emit harmful levels of ionizing radiation from "radioactive materials or waste." While the emission levels are low, if you're the kind of person who'd wear these non-stop then they could cause harm.

"The consumer products tested contain radioactive materials and therefore continuously emit ionizing radiation, thereby exposing the wearer. Exposure to ionizing radiation can cause adverse health effects," the regulator [1]warned .

[2]

"Due to the potential health risk they pose, these consumer products containing radioactive materials are therefore prohibited by law. Ionizing radiation can damage tissue and DNA and can cause for example a red skin.

[3]

"Only low levels of radiation have been measured on these specific products. However, someone who wears a product of this kind for a prolonged period (a year, 24 hours a day) could expose themselves to a level of radiation that exceeds the stringent limit for skin exposure that applies in the Netherlands."

The Dutch have banned the Energy Armor sleep mask, black and white necklace and super bracelet, as well as a "quantum pendant," and four products from Magnetix - including the "Smiley Kids bracelet with negative ions." All are now prohibited under the Netherlands Nuclear Energy Act.

In contrast to recent science-challenged 5G protests, which have taken the form of [8]multiple [9]arson attacks and even a [10]shooting , the cloggie crackdown actually has some grounding in human healthcare. Still, the Dutch ban will do very little, these woo products are still available online and from companies like US pharmacy giant Walgreens.

Will this stop people believing in pseudoscience? Of course not, that's as old as mankind. And there's money to be made peddling quack cures to the credulous. But the Dutch warning isn't minor - some of the materials in these devices might cause actual harm. Caveat emptor. ®

They're an unncessary expense anyway.

David 132

The absolute best way to make sure that 5G will no longer bother you is much simpler.

1) Eat at least 1.1Kg of bicarbonate of soda. Yes, it'll taste unpleasant but this is a natural remedy, and the worse they taste, the better for you they are, everyone knows that. If you find it difficult to swallow, try adding a drop of homeopathic Aqua, the smaller the better.

2) Promptly drink a litre of white vinegar.

Trust me as a person whose post icon has goggles and a sensible haircut. This will prevent you being bothered any more by 5G and, what's more, will protect all the rest of us from you too. And I can guarantee that it doesn't involve covid vaccinations and, what's more, is something that the Government doesn't want you to do .

You forgot...

0) Provide shield, umbrella, bucket and broom to family members

1) ...

2) ...

3) Firmly close all entry and exit holes in front and back and await shielding result

Gotta laugh at the ionizing radiation grift.

Double take

yetanotheraoc

I read the headline as anti-5G pants, which makes the same amount of sense.

Re: Double take

I dunno, Ionising radiation in their pants would at least ensure that they’d be unlikely to bring any dimwitted inbred spawn into the world and kill off their cretinous bloodlines, so that makes perfect sense to me

Don't let 5G win

HildyJ

Those who prudently bought anti-5G necklaces need to know that swallowing them does not impair their anti-5G properties.

So swallow them before the they are seized by the 5G run government.

Internet studies have also found that swallowing them will render Bill Gates' implanted chips useless.

Re: Don't let 5G win

It's not well known that putting your head in a microwave oven set to thaw for about five minutes will reverse any adverse effects of 5G exposure ( higher settings are faster but warmer), obviously it is necessary to disable the door switch.

This reversal procedure is discouraged by governments everywhere!

I thought standard procedure was to coat your entire body in “tin” foil (aluminium foil) …
