Basically, it's a rubber mat plugged into only the ground hole of an electric outlet. It seems to work--not a cure, but definitely lessens the problems. When I told this to my dermatologist, he rolled his eyes--as you are probably also doing. It might be worth trying for others.

It seems to be helping both my wife and me--not curing--but help is a big deal.  If you want to see doctors roll their eyes, tell them about this.  I told 2 doctors and they had enough self control that they didn't laugh out loud.
