Abstract

This article is related to the proposed hypothesis and experimental data regarding the ability of defined polar polymer compound (MRET polymer) applied to RF phones to increase the dielectric permittivity of water based solutions and to reduce the SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) values inside the "phantom head" filled with the jelly simulating muscle and brain tissues. Due to the high organizational state of fractal structures of MRET polymer compounds and the phenomenon of piezoelectricity, this polymer generates specific subtle, low frequency, non-coherent electromagnetic oscillations (optimal random field) that can affect the hydrogen lattice of the molecular structure of water and subsequently modify the electrodynamic properties of water. The increase of dielectric permittivity of water finally leads to the reduction of the absorption rate of the electromagnetic field by living tissue. The reduction of SAR values is confirmed by the research conducted in June - July of 2006 at RF Exposure Laboratory in Escondido, California. This test also confirmed that the application of MRET polymer to RF phones does not significantly affect the air measurements of RF phone signals, and subsequently does not lead to any significant distortion of transmitted RF signals.

Main findings

The article reports experimental data suggesting that applying an MRET polar polymer compound to RF phones increased dielectric permittivity of water-based solutions and reduced SAR values measured inside a phantom head filled with tissue-simulating jelly. It also reports that applying the polymer did not significantly affect air measurements of RF phone signals and did not lead to significant distortion of transmitted RF signals.

Outcomes measured

  • SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) in a phantom head
  • Dielectric permittivity of water-based solutions
  • Air measurements of RF phone signals / signal distortion

Limitations

  • No frequencies, phone models, or SAR measurement parameters are provided in the abstract.
  • No sample size, number of tests, or statistical details are reported in the abstract.
  • Findings are based on phantom and water-solution measurements rather than human outcomes.
  • Mechanistic claims (e.g., subtle low-frequency oscillations affecting water structure) are asserted without methodological detail in the abstract.
