The implications for Earthing are massive. Steve Sinatra, the cardiologist with whom I co-authored the book, describes this as the greatest breakthrough in his 40 years of practicing medicine.

This concept fires me up every day when I get emails or telephone calls from people who have started to ground themselves and tell me what you are telling the people in this forum. "Oh my God, my pain is gone" or "practically gone."

The more inflammation that somebody has, like in an auto-immune condition, the more there is to gain from this. Contact with the Earth reduces inflammation!!!!!!
How many exclamation points can I put after that fact. This is a law of Nature that has been discovered or re-discovered or re-enlivened. Modern society has disconnected itself from Nature in so many ways. Not just the food we eat, and our lack or physical activity, but the energy that exists right under our feet...our primordial connection with Mother Earth. Nature put us on Earth and we evolved with a connection to it that somehow...and wonderfully...regulates the bioelectrical systems that run our bodies...and controls the inflammation in our bodies.

This is a landmark concept. Doubt it. Be skeptical. Don't believe it. Think it is hogwash. All well and good. But if you have chronic pain or a headache or feel lousy and stressed, go outside (if weather permits) and plant your barefeet on the dirt, grass, gravel, stone, sand, concrete and sit there for 40 minutes or so. At the end of that time you will become a believer. The Earth is electric! And that natural, subtle electric energy on the surface of the Earth can help restore your natural bioelectrical state and reduce your pain and help you sleep better and accelerate healing from injury.

Not everybody will go outside barefooted and certainly not in the winter. For that reason conductive products have been made that people can use when they sleep or work inside. Whether somebody buys them or not, is not important. What is important is for all of us to reconnect to this missing link in the health equation, something so utterly simple, right there on the ground under our feet.
