Good to see some of these companies getting taken to task. More power to Sense About Science!

I especally liked this part:
Another company, World Development Systems, markets a product called Computer Clear. This is software that it claims modulates the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation from computer screens. The product is claimed to release 34,000 "bioresonance patterns" which re-balance the body's "biofield". When Sense About Science called the firm to ask what the bioresonance patterns were and whether they could be measured, Victor Sims, the managing director, responded: "No, because the EMF [electromagnetic field] still remains the same, it's constant ... but the quality of the EMF from a human point of view changes." He conceded that evidence of the item's effectiveness was "anecdotal". No one at World Development Systems was available for comment.
Where have we heard that before? Q-ray, anyone?
