Earthing volunteers needed:
 

I read the book "Earthing" and found it interesting. The way it was explained sounds logical and it seems it should work. But the author said it usually works best on those who need it the most, like those who have arthritis pain or any kind of pain.

I'm trying it because it's not costing me anything to do so. Today's the third day but I haven't noticed any change. I thought it might help me to sleep through the night without having to get up. But I haven't seen any change.

It would be nice if someone with arthritis would give it a try and then report back with whatever results. It's supposed to help all kinds of health conditions.

Any volunteers??? It won't cost anything.

might be more interested if I had a clue what earthing is??

An explaination....

Before you go walking barefoot in the grass around here, watch for fire ants....talk about jolts from the earth....:D

Thought it was a call for earthling volunteers.

.

Can you give more details about what you are doing ? I read the link that pooh posted, but that website is also selling earthing products that you put in to the grounding of a household outlet. Are you going shoeless inside and outside ? Or are you doing more than that ? It's an interesting concept.

I first wrongly read it that way too chuck. I'm thinking earthling volunteers for what exactly?

A theory pushed by James Oschman, Ph.D., and is considered quackery by the scientific community.

"Earthing"?
 

Is this what this thread is about?

Dr. James Oschman on Earthing

I generally walk barefoot at home, and no, I've noticed no change.... At least on a quick read of the article, they're not selling anything! Unless I'm missing something? Hmmm....

Actually, he is....his book.

Numerous products are available but I don't recommend buying any unless you first see some glimmer of there being a positive result. I tried grounding by walking barefoot outside. It won't work inside unless perhaps you have an unpainted concrete floor in your garage.

To increase contact with the earth, the grass is supposed to be at least slightly wet, and the same goes for unpainted concrete. That's about it.

Everyone is different so some may get a quick result and others may have to spend more time at it. To spend more time you might decide to sit in a lawn chair and put your bare feet on the damp or wet grass. Then you could do some reading to pass the time. Ten or fifteen minutes should give some indication of whether or not it will work.

If you try it, let us know if it was of any benefit to you.

Have you heard about flying saucers coming down from outer space, capturing earthlings and operating on them? Well, this isn't it. :D

Do you have a debunking-link by a qualified doctor? I'd like to know specifically what it is that doesn't work.

It seems fairly simple: 1) we all have free radicals in our system in the form of positive electrons. 2) the surface of the earth has an abundance of negative electrons and 3) if we come in contact with the earth our positive electrons will get paired up with the earths negative electrons. Where does this theory go wrong?

Dr. James Oschman on Earthing

Yes, your link provides a good explaination of what it's about.

Walking barefoot indoors usually won't do it if there are non-conducting surfaces like carpeting or vinyl. Unpainted concrete that is slightly wet, or damp grass, is best.

As far as selling products: Near the top of your link, under the dark blue bar it says "shop for health products". But I would recommend trying it out for free first. It won't cost anything to try it outside.

I agree.
