For EMF (electro-magnetic fields)

The package touts that it is "Scientifically tested" and that process is described

Each active ingredient in this product has been tested on human beings in accordance with scientific homeopathic methodology. No animal testing

The ingredients are listed; the inactive ingredients are organic alcohol (20% w/w) but they don't say which one (ethanol, ethanol or glycol are all "organic&quot

and purified water. There are no active ingredients listed at all.

I dare anybody not to realise that this product is 100% pure snake oil.

Whether organic or not, no matter what kind of alcohol, I'd hardly characterize it as "inactive"!

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound contained 18% ethanol in addition to the various herbs - I wonder if it was listed as an "inactive" ingredient?
