Has anyone heard about Earthing ?

There is a book about how our bodies are suffering because we don't spend enough time in contact with the earth's surface (like going barefoot) and a line of grounding matts (putting you in electrical balance with the earth's surface thus driving the free radicals from your body.

My sister just gave me an Earthing kit for an early xmas present.

I am about half way through the book and using the pad a few hours per day. I don't have 3 prong outlets throughout my house, so I am limited to where I can use it.

First night, I swear I felt better.......and that was Thanksgiving night. I usually need extra pain meds after being up and about, but I didn't that night. I also made it to Walmart 4 to 6 am without meds. I went to bed again at 6:30 and woke up later with a miserable cold (my kids were sick earlier in the week. So......it's hard to tell now how/if it's working. I am a skeptic by nature. I'll keep you posted.
