The Cost of Earthing vs Vitamins

There is a notion that vitamin supplements might help lower the toll of some of our most damaging chronic diseases.  These high hopes came in part from the observation that vitamin-takers were less likely to develop heart disease. Even at the time, researchers knew the finding might just reflect what’s called the healthy user effect—meaning that vitamin devotees are more likely to exercise, eat right, and resist the temptations of tobacco and other bad habits. But it was also possible that antioxidant vitamins like C, E, and beta-carotene could prevent heart disease by reducing the buildup of artery-clogging plaque. B vitamins were promising, too, because folate, B6, and B12 help break down the amino acid homocysteine—and high levels of homocysteine have been linked to heart disease.
Unfortunately, none of those hopes have panned out.

Reader's Digest tells us an analysis of seven vitamin E trials concluded that it didn’t cut the risk of stroke or of death from heart disease. The study also scrutinized eight beta-carotene studies and determined that, rather than prevent heart disease, those supplements produced a slight increase in the risk of death. Other big studies have shown vitamin C failing to deliver. As for B vitamins, research shows that yes, these do cut homocysteine levels …but no, that doesn’t make a dent in heart danger.

Weigh all this us with grounding.The Earth’s surface contains a limitless number of free electrons that are continually replenished through solar radiation and lightening strikes; your body naturally absorbs these particles when you make physical contact with the ground.

In the body, these electrons have an anti-inflammatory effect because they reduce the free-radical activity that causes inflammation and chronic pain. (If you remember your high school science, electrons are negatively charged. Inflammation-causing free radicals are positively charged, which means the additional free electrons neutralize the free radicals.) The energy of the free electrons also helps keep your body’s innate electrical circuitry properly balanced. All of these effects are extremely beneficial to heart health.

Without a regular connection to the Earth, people can develop what is called an electron deficiency. In turn, this can lead to imbalances in the body and potentially to significant health problems. For example, chronic inflammation—which is increasingly being identified as the cause of many chronic diseases, including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders.  Notice here that vitamins above are not needed when you earth yourself.  The electrons from the earth neutralize free radicals.
In a nutshell, earthing is far more effective as a disease deterrent, as well as economical as far as cash is concerned.  If you were to consume, say 3 supplements a day for a month, the yearly cost would be around $600.  Weigh that against the once off cost of an earthing mat of $60 or an earthing sheet $230, earthing is only one third the cost.
