A cure for irritation, lumbago, constipation, impotence, obesity, dermatitis,
excessive computer gaming and refusal to attend school are claimed by Hisashi
Mineta of Tokyo in EP 841 056. These problems, he says, result from using a VDU
while wearing anything metallic. Using Zen theory, Mineta claims relief can be
had from a T-shirt with a pad of natural salt, benzoic acid or citric acid in
the cloth just below the navel, so it covers “a key meridian or acupuncture
point”. The inventor tried the idea with swimming trunks, trousers and an apron,
but the trunks create too strong a stimulus, and can lead to “actual harm”, he
says. But trousers or an apron are safe. So that’s alright then.
