I just watched the first one and will watch the second. Just want to vouch for the insomnia thing. It's been about 10 days now with the sheets and the results are almost miraculous. I have not slept like this in ages. Can't even remember when. Insomnia was so bad that I dreaded going to bed. As an added bonus I've been having some great vivid dreams.
Nice going, Tellurider. We have feedback like that all the time. The Earthing research shows that about 85 percent of people with sleep problems have better sleep after they start Earthing at night. Recently, I turned on a doctor friend to Earthing. She called me the next day all excited and said, "I had to best sleep in sixty years." That's a doctor talking who has access to all kinds of sleep enhancers, natural or pharmaceutical. Connecting to the Earth is very, very special. Cheers

Good story, good video, I can really sense the positve results she's gotten coming through in her body langauge and attitude. I'm just getting ready to head away from the computer for a night so am in a hurry - no time to elaborate on the potential hazards I see - but there are some precautions I'd like to make for people who are thinking about hooking their body to a part of an AC wall outlet. I won't be able to elaborate till tomorrow. Meantime, be careful, and when possible, earth the natural way - outside, standing on earth!
...just so you know (before you spend a lot of time composing a post), there is no direct A/C connection to any of the Earthing products. The ONLY connection is a round plug that fits into the round ground hole of a 3-prong outlet.
And there's a cheap tester-gizmo that one plugs into the 'round ground hole' to make sure the ground is actually a secure grounded connection.
As far as actually 'barefooting'/earthing being best, there's no doubt about that in my mind at all (and hopefully nobody elses). On the other hand, our bodies NEED to be in contact with the earth 24/7, and it's a rare person that has a 'fully grounded house & bed'.
This recent post elaborates more fully as to why I strongly (now) believe we should have indoor 'grounding' experiences as often as possible: http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1818753#i
Thanks for the friendly warning Uny. It did not require a lot of time to compose but if there is the chance it will help prevent one accident it is time worth spending.
My main caution / concern is bounded by the condition of human nature in the cyber era coupled with Murphy's law. Since the general idea is the benefits from people plugging their body into the correct spot on a properly wired 3-prong outlet, my advice is that this is something that people should not get wrong 100 % of the time... or else. The simple example of human nature that comes to mind is that human nature is such that when people are advised to connect themselves to the round spot, chances are good that somewhere out there is somebody who impulsively reaches for the non round spot... IE> " the other left"....... and if they have trouble plugging into it, before they take the time to double think and double check what they think the advice told them to do, they instead reach for a hammer and begin trying to pound a connection into the non round spot which, for some reason, their brain is telling them is the round spot they need to plug into just like the advice said. I don't know why human nature is quirky like this. I just know it is like this. I talk to people like this every day in my line of work. Likely it has always been like this and predates the cyber era by eons. The kind of cyber example that comes to my mind is sort of patterned after the experience from reading, for instance, the archives in the Liver Flush forum. Person 1 - "ooooh, yuk, my body is just too sensitive, I 'm unable to tolerate using an outlet tester, ooooh, it makes me wanna gag, ooooooh.... but I really want to do this earthing thing inside my home without having to actually hazard a trip outside to the back yard, is there a shortcut I can take? " Person 2, who happens to go by the nickname of Cyber McGiver "no probs, you don't need the expensive tester, you can safely connect to any outlet anywhere in the world with the use of some cheap metal paper clips and a little elbow grease. Here is how you do it..................."
"just be careful and be sure of what you are doing" is all I'm saying.
What I thought you were gonna say, and what might be a worthy precaution is... something I saw on a youtube video by a German guy (Hans I think). He said if you're hooked up to the round grounding hole in your wall outlet, and there is a thunderstorm going on, it is possible that a lightening strike could send a burst of electric current back through the ground wire and shock you. But the remedy for this seems easy enough. All you would need (and may already have) is one of those multiple outlet "strips" that has a built-in circuit breaker, like to keep you from frying your computer. If you plug in to that, instead of the wall outlet directly... voila.
N'est-ce pas?
I have since done a lot of reading and would like to clarify something. It looks like the products from earthing.net have a built-in circuit breaker, so the precaution described above is unnecessary. Still might be a good idea for DIY rig-ups, or for products from other (or unknown) manufacturers.
She says that this normalizes the thyroid so could it be used to treat adrenal fatigue, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism? If so this would be an amazing cure
I wonder how the body voltage compares to using a zapper
I once thought that Earthing was simply the discharging or "grounding out" of harmful frequencies that the body had absorbed. I thought that earthing via 'barefooting' also had the benefit of stimulating our reflex points (which it does).
After reading the Earthing book, it's quite clear that 'discharge' is one benefit, but an equal (or bigger) benefit is the UPTAKE of negative electrons from our planet...something that, as humans 'of the earth', we should be contact daily.
Without these natural, wholesome & healing negative electrons from our earth, we are (in a very real sense) starved & malnourished for a vital 'nutrient' our electrical body desperately needs.
Zapping & Earthing are two ENTIRELY different things.
Earthing is *completely natural* & extremely vital to health & healing - it's as old as 'human beings'.
Thanks for fleshing out the concept. I'm only on page 50 of the book, my kit arrived 2 days ago, by no means an expert.
The flow of electrons into our bodies via earthing strikes me as a trickle (albeit an important trickle). So the notion of a "voltage comparison" with zapping was something I had to comment on.
Did you ever learn about capacitors in high school? We had these square things that looked like batteries with + and - terminals, but they could only hold/store a charge, not generate one like a battery. Last couple of years I've had very little contact with the earth and I've started to view us insulated humans as walking capacitors. With a stored, random, unhealthy charge.
Pretty cool, this 2-way flow we get when connected to the earth's circuit. Have you been sleeping on an earthing sheet these past couple of weeks, and if so, have you noticed anything?
>>>Have you been sleeping on an earthing sheet these past couple of weeks, and if so, have you noticed anything?<<<
Yes, we both (my hubby n' me...he's 57, I'm 52) have been sleeping on the Earthing sheet since mid June...and yes, we have noticed quite a bit of benefit. I'm planning on posting a 'testimony' soon (maybe in the next few hours, but definitely in a day or two).
Earthing is actually the reception by the body of huge amounts of negatively-charged electrons and a primordial signal that seems to restore a natural electrical state in the body. When this happens, as we have observed for more than 12 years, and our research shows, many remarkable and positive changes occur in the body.
Cheers

Hey, Martin. Thanks for being available here on CZ.
Would you not agree that one of the consequences of this "reception by the body of ... electrons" is that it drops the body's electric potential difference (voltage) way down, as demonstrated in this video, among others?
What is does is bring the potential of the body down to the potential of the Earth's surface, or close to it. As this happens, and as an electron-deficient body (if we can use that term) fills up with electrons, all kinds of wonderful changes go on in the body, right from the start. It's pretty amazing. So simple, yet so profound. Assume you have read the Earthing book. If not, check it out. It's a good read. Not because I wrote it, but BECAUSE IT IS A GOOD READ. Also check out some of the Earthing reports I have up on our website at http://www.earthinginstitute.net
Cheers.
What we have found from observations over 12 years, and from some new research, is that Earthing affects thyroid function. We believe that it improves thyroid function, but don't know the precise mechanism for that yet. Quite a few people who are HYPOthyroid and take medication, have developed signs of HYPERthyroid...in other words, excess medication...after they start Earthing. Many people, working with their doctors, have been able to reduce their medication dosage. The impacts and benefits of Earthing on the body are systemic...and that includes the thyroid. So we tell people who are on thyroid medication is be alert to symptoms of excess medication..such as palpitations. Cheers

Since CZ doesn't move threads/post to the top when new posts are made (and since this is such an important topic), if you have any more Earthing questions, comments or testimonies, please either respond under the post above - or start a new thread. Thanks :) Uny
