An innovative chip has been launched by Omega Pharma, the health products distributor from Belgium. The company claims that this chip can balance the effects of radiation which emanates from mobile phones and could be dangerous for mobile phone users. Omega Pharma is famous for selling medical products including pregnancy tests and wart treatments and officials at the company believe that the chip could lessen symptoms which mobile phone users may be suffering from.

These symptoms include headaches and an inability to concentrate and, whilst links between these symptoms and mobile phone use have never been officially proved, a connection is certainly possible. Scientific opinion remains divided over the health risks of mobile phones and critics of Omega Pharma’s chip believes that this will put consumers off making a purchase.

Electromagnetic signals from mobile phones can also cause a heating effect to occur within the human body and the chip apparently neutralises this heat. The chip alleviates the effects of radiation by offsetting electromagnetic radiation which is emitted from the mobile phone device and the company revealed that it has been thoroughly tested.

Omega Pharma is currently testing the waters by seeing whether or not mobile phone users would be interested in purchasing the chip. It costs just under forty euros to purchase and, whilst there are relatively few chips available at the moment, the company officials believe that they can easily and rapidly increase production if necessary. The Chief Executive of the company, Marc Coucke, revealed that if ten million chips need to be made, then this will be done quickly and efficiently.
