Apparently, wearing "modified Titanium" revitalises mind and body, according to my moronic father and This site and wiki. Somehow fatigue is cured through regulation of Bio currents.. Am I alone in thinking that this is BS ? Well apparently some japanese athletes endorse it.. but what would I know. I don't play sports. Clearly I'm not capable of understanding what my own body needs /sarcasm.
Definitely BS. I love these quotes from their site. http://www.phitennz.com/index.pasp?pageid=4 Um, "time-honoured"? How long does something have to be going to class as "time honoured"? A week? A couple of months? Titanium is relatively new to the list of workable metals (hell, it wasn't available as a pure metal until 1910, less than 100 years ago, or outside a lab until 1932). Titanium has bio-electricity? It's alive? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Pure, unadulterated (but chic) BS.
I thought it odd that if muscle fatigue was caused by lack of ions.. someone would feel happier after being zapped with static electricity, which is essentially a transfer of ions.. Plus, I suspect it's a placebo effect.
There's a couple of links on the relevant Wiki page - which also states that muscle fatigue is NOT caused by lack of ions. And (for the athletes promoting it) maybe the large sponsorship cheque. Money always makes me feel energetic. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
