Thank you Unbecoming for bringing this topic to light. I have been grounding daily for at least 7+ years. Previously, I suffered from static electricity discharge for over a decade. I was always getting shocked. Pushing the grocery cart, Shock!, touching a metal door knob, Shock!, I would inadvertently shock my horses when I touched them. I was constantly getting shocked and my family would laugh because they weren’t affected and I would always be jumping at the shock. Because I’m a curious type, somehow I can across the Earthing movie and I was beginning to understand that the universe and us are electrical. Once I started grounding, all my static electricity discharge stopped. After a few weeks I noticed a decrease in joint pain and an overall increase in wellness. I’m a big believer in grounding. While I don’t think it is a cure-all, it is definitely part of a healthy lifestyle that includes proper, low inflammation diet.
most of my childhood was barefoot… probably had leathery soles of my feet. shoes used to be leather, now most is some type of plastic.
maybe getting a lot of static electricity “shocks” is a sign of excessive build up?
since I no longer have a lawn area I was looking into alternate options to earth outdoors and found that as long as cement or stonework directly contacts soil and is not coated with a sealant it works for earthing (ditto for in-ground swimming pools made of cement not fiberglass.)
What country are you in? You can also try placing your feet on a sheet of heavy duty tinfoil - this helps dissipate the built-up charge. I learned this from Dave Stetzer.
Good to know, thanks Kitten. I redid a disastrous (dangerous for me) yard with small brick patios and fake grass which is more a cloth than plastic, called canine grass. I sit barefooted on the patios and enter gardening plots bare but I think maybe the fake grass was now not such a good idea. The grass is atop sand, that is atop stone on the earth. What do you think?
you’re right if fake grass is part plastic or if it has some synthetic content, standing on it would probably not ground you (insulates, disrupts current) but the bricks, patio would work.
I’m trying to spend at least a half hour barefoot on the patio
As an electrician, the earth cable is the most important cable on any installation. Any leakage current is dissipated to the mass of the earth. I've been encouraging people to be in bare feet as much as possible for health benefits. It's definitely highly undervalued and thought of as 'WOO'. Great article
Been wearing these sandals for several years. They rebuild your feet as well, you will experience soreness for up to a week. Your feet have been molded/supported by soles that have allowed sarcopenia evolve in your feet. Similar to if you wore a neck brace 16 hrs a day, your neck would just flop over after awhile when the neck brace was not worn.
The only issue with earthing in North America is that the power grid was wired incorrectly - so there is massive ground current EMF. This is why earthing is not a good idea in the US & Canada:
So my question is this. I used to live my life barefoot. Constantly until I got morgellons disease and eventually realized I was being recolonized through my barefoot lifestyle. I have not touched my bare feet to any surface for years as I do not trust the spraying that is going on and also the conflicting ELF resonance that Clifford Carnicom and Dr Mihalcea have observed at about 4hz. Is this perhaps disturbing some people’s connection to the earth?? I wondering….
Everyone that I know who has slept grounded has noticed a benefit. Those with pain or sleep issues especially. It's a great investment in improving health, and grounding pads are an investment that will last for many years, whereas grounded sheets will wear out like normal sheets do. Restoring circadian rhythm is likely a key benefit, as it is said that standing barefoot in damp grass after an international flight will greatly reduce any jet lag. The umbrella effect is a huge benefit for those who are EMF sensitive.
Recently, I realized that outside of China, many educated individuals might lack basic chemistry knowledge. This may be because in developed countries, getting into college is relatively easier, and chemistry is not a required subject. In contrast, most high school graduates in China have mandatory basic chemistry courses. Consequently, many independent researchers of chlorine dioxide therapy seem to lack a chemistry background, which leaves their research without robust scientific (especially chemical) support.

California USA… ✅ great tip about the tin foil… will do.
Thanks for the reply Kitten, and for letting me know. You may feel a certain "flushing" sensation in your face/ body, but this will pass.

The QW&A is terrific but I have a question please:
Are there any contraindications for a person sleeping on a conductive grounding mat if they have an embedded cardiac pacemaker?

I love that Clint does not promote his website where he sells grounding products.

Otherwise - thank you for the lovely piece. I love Oschmann - have his book Energy Medicine. It's a mindblower.
Where I live in the US we still have above ground power lines and not underground power lines. Does this eliminate "ground current EMF"? Thanks
Earthing has been proven to work by many randomized controlled trials in which half of the participants were unaware that they were "sham" grounded . https://vitamindwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page_id=15527
