It also takes courage - it's much easier to stay silent than to put it out there, knowing how likely it is that some people will be quick to criticize.

Thanks, quirky, for your support but I can't take credit for being the first to present the idea of earthing on this board. I would mention who that person was but I'm not sure if that's allowed. When it was first mentioned, I expressed doubt myself but offered to keep an open mind. I said I would read the book "Earthing" and give my opinion:
My only opinion now, after reading the book, is that it sounds like it could work but it didn't work for me, at least not yet. And if it's going to take much longer, I'm not sure I have the patients for it. So I figured this might be a way to settle it, by having several people try it. But if there are going to be hecklers in the group, I doubt that anyone will commit to it for fear of being thought silly or gullible.
For those who don't know, there's a difference between having a thoughtful difference of opinion and heckling.
