Well, apparently it does work after all. They have thermographic
images of people's heads after using a cellphone for 15 minutes with
and without their device.

Even a graph

OK - that constitutes good old everyday fraud. That should be
actionable legally and a matter for the police.
I'll tell them that and see what happens.

Ah - that was the cheap one.
Here they have a $NZ360 =~ $US260 one

Buyer comment;

While this product is obviously snake oil and makes ludicrous claims,
the research information at
http://www.mybiopro.com/AU/research_graph.aspx?ID=healthfirstnz goes
beyond that and constitutes (as far as I can tell, I am not a
lawyer)fraudulent activity. The research does not exist as it is not
possible that the device involved causes the results shown. I will be
referring this ad to the Consumers Institute on Monday and possibly to
the police and possibly to Commerce Commission. I have a contact for
one of the police who monitors trademe activity so I may send it to
him - although it's outside his normal area. I suggest that
withdrawing the ad promptly and not ever resubmitting it is in your
best interests, but of course what you do is up to you.

With luck you yourselves don't realise how bogus this product is and
aren't aware that you are ripping credulous people off. Whether that
is a legal defence for misrepresenting research etc in an ad I don't
know.
