My Earthing notes, and some journal

articles to read.

Free radicals are an element or a compound that is missing an electron and will react with
various compounds in the human body in a random manner and altering them such that they
can not perform their intended function. Solar wind consists of free electrons which are
captured by the earth magnetosphere, which are transferred to the earth by lightning. This
leaves the earth with a surplus of electrons and electron electric potential, which can be
transferred to the human body via Earthing and mitigates free radicals.

Dr. Steven Sinatra, co-author with Clint Ober of the book Earthing, took blood measurements of
people, and then in a double blind experiment, Earthed them for several hours and then did the
same blood measurements on the control and Earthed group. He found consistent blood
improvement in the Earthed group. A review by him as co-author, Earthing: Health
Implications of Reconnecting the Human Body to the Earth’s Surface Electrons,

Also note that there are 212 papers on Earthing in PUBMED

Putting a 6 foot grounding rod into moist earth and connecting a wire to it is an excellent
method of getting a good earthing connection. IF you live in a country that has a 3-wire
domestic home electrical service, the third wire ground is a good earthing method *if* your
wiring is proper. This can be checked by buying a $5 tester like this
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Commercial-Electric-Tools-Outlet-Tester-Green-
MS112H/206029154 or similar which will test for 5 types of wiring errors. Earthing yourself
basically converts your body into a Faraday Cage and will protect you from EMF. Also, if you
have pain or inflammation, with you own DIY cord or a premade and a cable with alligator clips,
you can attach the ground to this https://balego.com/index.php/product/balego-silver-foam-
13-x-1-5-low-back-strip-1pack/ for localized healing. Please note that for the best pain relief, the
Earthing should be attached at the point of pain.

And for more reading, here is a list of another 24 articles, 8 commentaries, and 5 papers.

Also you can go to PUBMED.com or https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed and enter either

SINATRA EARTHING or SOKAL EARTHING or OSCHMAN EARTHING or CHEVALIER
EARTHING to see a few more medical journal articles about earthing.

Also, Earthing has helped my wife's knee pain and swelling from an injury a great deal. My wife
who is retired MD, FACS, ASPS, ASAPS, and now LAc, obviously has many healing modalities
available to her. Her LAc comes from a masters degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine which
gave just as much attention to the 600+ TCM herbs (at least the ones that are legal to import to
the US) as it did to acupuncture, Twi Na, cupping, electro-acupuncture, et cetera. Also, she was
rooming with my daughter who was also getting her Masters in TCM at the same time, but my
daughter's school emphasized clinic, whereas the school my wife went to was more academic.
Also my daughter organized study groups for her fellow students and mom to attend, so they
both have a wider background than typical LAc practitioners. Anyway, when my wife has an
injury to her knee or elsewhere, her first treatment modality is always the 13"x1" Balego strip
wrapped around the knee and earthed day and night. Particularly at night. Night is a very
healing time.

Again, here is where I buy my self-adhesive conductive strips.

https://balego.com/index.php/product/balego-silver-foam-13-x-1-5-low-back-strip-1pack/ Just
go to the hardware store and buy some solid core 12AWG (#12 American Wire Gauge) and strip
off the insulation. The wire fits nice and snug inside the connector. Just make U out of the wire
to connect the two pads together.

The cold water metallic pipe system will work only if there is a continuous connection that
eventually goes to ground, and that should be the case. Back before cell phones, when everybody
had a land line, the phone companies were always very particular about the quality of the
ground for their surge/lightning protectors that were installed inside every house. They would
put a sizable metal clamp on the cold water line that was nearest the entry point of the phone
line and then run a wire to the surge protector which would be mounted as close as practical to
the outside of the house. When I first started Earthing I ran a wire from the phone company's
grounding clamp, one to my office and one to the upstairs computer.

Now if that 'plug into the wall sounds odd, consider this. Analysis of the Charge Exchange

Computer Engineering, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH Student, Department of
Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH -
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4241473/pdf/main.pdf And from page 242 -
"To perform the measurements, the ground wire was not connected directly to the wall-outlet
ground, as would be the case for normal operation. Rather, the ground wire was connected to
the input of the measurement circuit (denoted connected to subject in Fig 1). This was
electrically equivalent to connecting the ground wire to the outlet ground because the circuit
input impedance with respect to ground is nearly zero (ie, the input to the measurement circuit
is at ground potential).

The measurements were carried out in a UNH Electrical Engineering laboratory and in student
dorm rooms involving 3 men aged 22 and 23 years and ranging in weight from 140 to 210 lb." So
if the two PhDs think that using the ground connection is fine, I'm good with that.

I have decided to make my own 'ground wire only' wall plugs using something like this
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-15-Amp-125-Volt-3-Wire-Plug-Orange-R51-515PV-
0OR/205165505 by just connecting a wire to the ground lug and leaving the other two lugs non-
connected so there is just a single wire coming from the plug.

Luis Cisneros Exactly, ground circuits mus be wired in sar configuration never in a token ring
connection. And as you say much more care if it is to ground a human.
