Magic Cards With Dangerous Levels Of Radioactivity

[OneWingedBird]

Not sure what the point is of selling irradiated fake cure cards when you could just sell non-irradiated fake cure cards?

“Magic cards” being sold in Thailand as a cure-all for diseases have reportedly been found to emit dangerously high levels of radiation.

The bogus cards, allegedly produced by a company called Expert Pro Network, are being bought in the northeastern province of Khon Kaen for up to 1,500 baht (£38) by locals, who put the cards on different parts of their bodies and even dip them in drinking water, the Bangkok Post reported.

But according to the newspaper, the Office of Atoms for Peace (OAP), Thailand’s nuclear research department, found some of the plastic cards were emitting radiation up to 350 times the safe limit for humans.

This passage in the news article piqued my curiosity ...

According to a photo shared by Thai chemist Weerachai Phutdhawong, the cards display a title in Indonesian reading “Magic Card” with the tag-line, “Health, fuel, electricity”, beneath.

As well as an ID number, the card claims to be developed using “Germany technology” and has the stamp of the World Peace Gong, a symbol to promote peace devised by Indonesia in the wake of the 2002 Bali bombings.

Why are cards supposedly produced by a Thai company and reported (so far) to be marketed only in Thailand titled in Indonesian and carry the symbol of an Indonesian peace initiative?

This Thai news site article from a week ago:

... provides an overview of the case that's far more detailed than what's been reported in the western media.

Among other things ...

This article mentions the cards had been previously marketed by a Malaysian company* that ceased operation.

More details on the pyramid distribution scheme aspect are given.

It's mentioned that similar cards are being sold in India as "anti-radiation" cards that can protect certain organs from radiation.
