Earthing - the Most Important Health Discovery Ever!

I really do believe is one of the greatest health discoveries ever – at least in the past 100 years!  This health discovery is called “Earthing”, developed by Clint Ober in 1998.  Earthing is a way of bringing the healing effects of being barefoot on the earth, indoors.

This explains to me why I always feel so good when paddling barefoot on the beach when on holidays, and why gardening has such a calming effect on me.  In the past, if I had a headache, I would take pills and lie down, which had no effect, so I would get up and wander around the garden watering, and the headache would lift!  I never understood this phenomenon until now.

The electrical contact between your body and the earth (termed earthing or grounding) -- forms a connection for the flow of energy from the earth to your body and conscious mind.  This action allows a flow of free electrons from the earth into your body.  It seems that shoes are our own worst enemy, as rubber soles insulate us from the earth and positive electrons that are in our 21^st century homes build up and cause all kinds of negative effects on our bodies.  The worst of this effects is INFLAMMATION!  Just talk to anyone these days about health issues, and you get sense that inflammation effects just about everybody!  If you were to go outside on the lawn barefoot for ten or twenty minutes when inflammation attacks, you will sense a clear effect on your pain, mood and stress levels.  As a “creationist”, I am reminded that we were formed from the dust of the earth, so it makes sense to me that the earth should have a positive effect on my body in some way.   Note: Did you know that all 19 minerals found in our body are also the 19 minerals that are found in the earth?  (that’s for free). 

My first impression of this information was not good, however, because I have some memories of “the New Agers” hugging trees and “feeling the energy, dude!” from Mother Earth!  But it seems now I have looked at it, that these guys may have had something we (and they) didn’t fully understand, because science and technology has proved it to have some credence!

Now, back to Clint Ober.  The earthing institute documents the scientific validation which began with Clint Ober's initial question in 1998 of whether direct connection with the Earth could have an impact on health and whether separation from the Earth―such as by wearing insulative shoes―could contribute to unwellness.

The research that followed has produced fascinating evidence demonstrating that Earthing generates a powerful and positive shift in the electrical state of the body and restores natural self-healing and self-regulating mechanisms.

We know that Earthing allows a transfer of electrons (the Earth’s natural, subtle energy) into the body. We know that inflammation is caused by free radicals and that free radicals are neutralized with electrons from any source. Electrons are the source of the neutralizing power of antioxidants.  

In the Earthing studies, as well as the feedback from thousands of individuals who have grounded themselves, there is consistent evidence of people whose pain was reduced. Such reduction of pain is evidence that inflammation is reduced.   I, myself experienced a very swift elimination in pain in a part of my body when I earthed myself within 1 week!
