What's the theory here? Is he saying that pressure on your crotch is bad for you?

That would mean bicycles are twice as cancer-causing as motorcycles.

Theory?  Let's not confuse the issue with the scientific method and other distractions...like facts.

What a joke. It's pure sales drivel, nothing more. Any ham radio enthusiast can tell you that protection from any EMF radiation source requires complete encasement of the item to be protected inside a shielding container, sometimes called a Faraday cage (which must be connected to electrical ground, BTW). Simply sitting on a shield of any material does little to protect you, especially when referring to ELF (extra low frequency) EMF. The wavelength of such radiation is measured in miles, and any barrier you might place between yourself and the radiation source would simply be invisible to such waves (unless it was the aforementioned Faraday cage enclosure). That would be like holding up a dime to protect you from the rain.

I also find it somewhat amusing that he never reveals the source of all of this deadly ELF radiation -- it's the spark plug wires. Military vehicles have had shielded spark plug wires for decades, to prevent detection by the enemy with direction-finding antennae -- not to prevent cancer.

If spark plug wires caused cancer, then we'd all have been long dead by now, including our parents and grandparents.

Wow...that is one of the funniest websites I've seen -

"DANGER RIGHT BETWEEN OUR LEGS"

"EXTREMELY HIGHER"

"The prostrate is of a major concern."

"Science proves electromagnetic danger"

I hear frequent ejaculation prevents prostate cancer.  Everybody get to work to negate the ill effects of riding motorcycles.

Notice there isn't a "Dr." or "PhD" listed next to his name. There is a clue.

Here are the facts, as I recall them. EMF/EMP/Deadlyradiationemanatingfromhouseholdobjects have been extensively studied, particularly cell phone radiation. The results have always shown no correlation between cell phone use and development of cancer. Period. The waves emanated are of such a long wavelength (mentioned above) that they have no effect on the human body. Shorter waves could theoretically have an effect, but they aren't present in these applicances/machines.

Ever seen the magic radiation filters you stick on your cell phone earpiece? It's been proven there is no link between cell phones and cancer of any type - and the rad screens have no scientific data to prove they are effective at doing ANYTHING let alone shield you from the waves of your cell. The manufacturers will admit this when probed, because claiming otherwise puts them into a precarious legal position. Their rationale is "well, better to use our product than to not use it, if there is a possible danger". Sound familiar? Same bullshit being propagated by this whack job.

Actually, there has been shown to be a corrilation between bicycle riding and testicular cancer.  Ouch.
