Why are so many of these junk papers published by Elsevier I wonder?

This reads exactly like one of those computer fakes.

Dial in rheumatoid arthritis and metal sensitivity and ask for a computer-generated paper.

The introduction is exactly what you should get - full of evidence, as required by the Turing test, that the material was not actually written by an intelligent being.

The data are exactly as expected - in that they are exactly as the authors expected.

The conclusions follow as byte follows byte.

An almost perfect case of pseudoscience.
