For more than ten years, Earthing research and feedback
from individuals who have grounded themselves, primarily
while sleeping at night, demonstrate a multitude of
benefits.
Here is a short list of them:
• improvement or elimination of the symptoms of many
inflammation-related disorders
• reduction or elimination of chronic pain
• better sleep and faster to sleep
• increased energy
• lowered stress, more calmness by cooling down the
nervous system and stress hormones
• normalization of the body’s biological rhythms
• thinner blood, improved blood pressure and flow
• muscle tension and headache relief
• lessened hormonal and menstrual symptoms
• dramatically faster healing and reduction/prevention of
bedsores
• reduction/elimination of jet lag
• protection against potentially health-disturbing
environmental electromagnetic fields (EMFs)
• accelerated recovery from intense athletic activity.
Throughout evolution, humans walked barefoot and slept on
the ground and received from the Earth a natural, nurturing,
and gentle electric energy. You likely have experienced this
form of energy yourself some time or another. Maybe while on
vacation and walking barefoot on a sandy beach, you felt
some tingling or some warmth in your feet. A sense of
well-being. That sensation is the ground's electric energy
rising up into your body, the result of the skin of your
conductive body making contact with the "skin" of the
conductive Earth.
Modern lifestyle has increasingly separated humans from this
flow of subtle omnipresent surface energy. We wear
insulative rubber or plastic soled shoes that block the
flow. Obviously, we no longer sleep on the ground as we did
in times past.
Research is now revealing that this energy creates a
distinct and uplifting shift in the physiology. It promotes
health, vitality, and better sleep; harmonizes and
stabilizes the body's basic biological rhythms; knocks down
(and even knocks out) chronic inflammation; and reduces and
eliminates pain. The disconnect from this natural resource
right under our feet may likely be a totally overlooked –
and major– factor behind the alarming rise of chronic
disease in recent decades, and inflammatory-related
conditions in particular.
These revelations are central
themes of a new book,
Earthing (Basic Health
Publications), that I have had the privilege to write. My
coauthors are Stephen Sinatra, MD, the well-known
integrative cardiologist, and Clint Ober, a most amazing
individual who discovered the health benefits of
reconnecting to the Earth. [See also Dr. Sinatra's article
on page 76.]
The reproductions above
represent darkfield microscope images of blood taken from
three individuals in attendance at Dr. Sinatra house just
before and after forty minutes of grounding. The before
image is on the left side, the after on the right. The
pictures clearly show a dramatic thinning and decoupling of
blood cells.
For me, the concept of reconnecting to the Earth has
revealed one of Nature's great healing secrets. On a
personal note, I experienced an immediate cessation of
annoying restless legs syndrome when I started sleeping
grounded two years ago. I sleep grounded now whether I am at
home or traveling. Over time, the also annoying need to get
up at night to pee, typical of men my age (72), has
substantially abated. Some nights I get up once. Others not
at all. A couple of my friends have had the same results.
My wife has less pain from substantial musculoskeletal
issues as a result of sleeping grounded and using grounded
EKG patches during the day. One woman who transcribes for me
wanted a conductive bedsheet after hearing and transcribing
some of the interviews of doctors and patients that I did
for the book. After she started sleeping grounded, she told
me that she was "absolutely amazed." Not a single flare-up
of her fibromyalgia pain.
To
quickly experience Earthing yourself, just walk or sit
barefoot on grass, sand, gravel, or unpainted concrete –
ground surfaces that conduct energy. Wood, asphalt, and
plastic do not conduct. Stay for at least a half hour or so
and at the end of that time you will notice you are calmer,
and if you had pain to begin with, it will be less, or maybe
even gone.
Biophysicist James Oschman,
PhD, a leading expert and author on energy medicine,
sums up Earthing this way: "The moment your foot
touches the Earth, or you connect to the Earth through a
wire, your physiology changes. An immediate normalization
begins. And an anti-inflammatory switch is turned on. People
stay inflamed because they never connect with the Earth, the
source of free electrons which can neutralize the free
radicals in the body that cause disease and cellular
destruction."
Dr. Sinatra describes this
discovery as the most exciting health breakthrough that he
has encountered in his 30-plus years in medicine. He sees it
as a profoundly simple, practical, effective, and
cost-cutting way to combat common illnesses and pain
problems, and make people healthier. In his own field of
cardiology, he says it has great promise for improving
arrhythmias, blood pressure, blood viscosity and flow, and
energy production of heart cells. He recently completed a
pilot study of the electrodynamics (zeta potential) of blood
which indicates that Earthing improves viscosity and flow.
The study was inspired by an informal experiment which he
conducted utilizing darkfield microscopy that produced
dramatic changes in blood cell aggregation after only 40
minutes of Earthing.
What is most profound about Earthing is that it is so
natural and simple, and that it affects every aspect of
human physiology. When you ground yourself, the entire body
readjusts to a new level of functioning, the level, in fact,
it seems to have been designed for throughout evolution.
Many people who have lived Earthed for some years say that
they do not want to go back to living ungrounded. They feel
the difference. Living Earthed broadly elevates your quality
of life to a level that seems not otherwise possible.
James Oschman, Ph.D., an internationally-renowned expert on
energy medicine and a member of our board of advisors,
describes the phenomenon thusly: “Recently I attended a
meeting on the East coast. One of my colleagues came in from
the West coast. She had a bad case of jet lag. I told her to
take her shoes and socks off and step outside on the grass
for 15 minutes. When she came back in, she was completely
transformed. Her jet lag was gone. That is how fast Earthing
works. Anyone can try this. If you don’t feel well, for
whatever reason, just make barefoot contact with the Earth
for a few minutes and see what happens. Of course, if you
have a medical problem, you should see a doctor. There is
nothing that comes close to Earthing for quick relief. You
can literally feel pain draining from your body the instant
you touch the Earth.”
