Earthing

Description

This captivating documentary follows a National Geographic filmmaker who finds relief from pain and aches using the earth as a healing conduit source of free electrons. Helping his community in Alaska, he expands his circle of people who are eager to learn about the effects of grounding. Featuring David Suzuki, Clint Ober, Dr. Mercola, and other leaders, naturalists, and health visionaries.

Blood Thinning with Earthing

My girlfriend in Melbourne and my father in law have both started earthing at night. Both of them told me after a day or two that they were burning hot at night. My father in law even pulled out the plug thinking it would cool him down (like an electric blanket).

However, I feel the answer lies with the blood which has become thinner. As we age, our blood cells become sticky and clump together rather than circulating separately. Contact with the Earth appears to create warmth in the extremities and body as a result of better circulation and relaxation. There is a study where blood was taken from several people by a Cardiologist who was studying the effects of earthing on the heart. After only 40 minutes of earthing, the "ketchup" sticky blood in almost all subjects was changed to almost a "red wine" consistency. Photos were taken of the results which I now show.

Abstract
Objectives: Emerging research is revealing that direct physical contact of the human body with the surface of the earth (grounding or earthing) has intriguing effects on human physiology and health, including beneficial effects on various cardiovascular risk factors. This study examined effects of 2 hours of grounding on the electrical charge (zeta potential) on red blood cells (RBCs) and the effects on the extent of RBC clumping.
Design/interventions: Subjects were grounded with conductive patches on the soles of their feet and palms of their hands. Wires connected the patches to a stainless-steel rod inserted in the earth outdoors. Small fingertip
pinprick blood samples were placed on microscope slides and an electric field was applied to them. Electrophoretic mobility of the RBCs was determined by measuring terminal velocities of the cells in video recordings taken through a microscope. RBC aggregation was measured by counting the numbers of clustered cells in each
sample.
Settings/location: Each subject sat in a comfortable reclining chair in a soundproof experiment room with the
lights dimmed or off.
Subjects: Ten (10) healthy adult subjects were recruited by word-of-mouth.
Results: Earthing or grounding increased zeta potentials in all samples by an average of 2.70 and significantly
reduced RBC aggregation.

Conclusions: Grounding increases the surface charge on RBCs and thereby reduces blood viscosity and clumping. Grounding appears to be one of the simplest and yet most profound interventions for helping reduce
cardiovascular risk and cardiovascular events.

approximately 18nm is the shortest span between two cells.’’

The Amazing Health Benefits of Grounding/Earthing

The most immediately noticeable effect people report from being grounded is that they ‘feel better’. This has been described as a feeling of greater peace within themselves, feeling calmer with reduced stress levels. If there is pain present then often this is reduced or disappears completely.

With regular grounding, numerous health benefits have been observed, such as:

Improved immune function
Improved digestion
Improved sleep
Rapid healing of injuries
Improved blood circulation
Accelerated recovery from intense athletic activity
Reduction of inflammation
Reduced stress / anxiety / irritability
Dramatically reduces inflammation.
Reduces or eliminates chronic pain.
Increases energy.
Improves blood pressure and flow.
Relieves muscle tension and headaches.
Dramatically speeds healing and prevents sores.
Reduces or eliminates jet lag.
Protects the body against harmful
electromagnetic fields (EMFs)

In the coming days, I will be posting up greater information about some of these positive effects, as well as some testimonys from some of my friends who have begun earthing.
