Interesting. As a child I grew up on a ranch in Arizona and my parents collected all the shoes from us kids at the end of school and we went bare footed all summer. Once our feet got use to the hot soil we were not bothered by going barefoot. Also, I don't remember us being sick at all when I lived on the ranch.
That is true. As a kid, my parents could not keep me inside the house much less in shoes! I was climbing trees, fences, and digging in the ground. Happy healthy kid! my parents had a difficult time talking me into my shoes except when going to the store! Bottom line- I loved feeling the ground under my bare feet.
I bought a 2 grounding mats and my husband and I have been grounding now for 3 weeks now. I was very skeptical. But I was desperate …. I also have autoimmune disease and for 8 months was so sick. I actually thought I was dying. I had every test possible and had seen 4 different specialist. Was so tired and sleeping all day and the inflammation, sinus infections and problems breathing was overwhelming. They could find nothing wrong…. But I know my body and I knew something wasn’t right. I started grounding and am astonished at the results I have had!!! I sleep all night much better… no longer fatigued… my energy is back and have not had any anxiety, nor inflammation!!! I feel like the old me!! I will not ever go without my mat!!! I sleep with it under my legs.
@@ruzvehI would be curious whether she also grounds directly with Earth. But at end of her comment she says she will never go without her 'mat' & sleeps with it between legs, so us probably indoor grounding mat, I believe is plugged into electrical socket, that has IT'S grounding in Earth, as is True I believe of all electrical wiring.
@@isabelcastillo2394 I don't think it's as complicated as it may sound. Even if you plug it into electrical outlet, they have their grounding in the Earth . I heard this from person who first introduced health benefits of Grounding in the beautifully made movie on Grounding you can find & should watch if you are interested in learning more about it. You can find it easily, is available on RUclips: The Earthing Movie: The Remarkable Science of Grounding. Is beautiful, very well made, informative movie. It's worth looking into. So many challenging conditions are healed simply from reconnecting ourselves with the Earth. Good luck!💕🙏🏼💕
As an electrician let me say this because I haven’t heard anyone talk about it but you can also ground your self by just touching you breaker box panel on the outside don’t touch nothing inside if your not an electrician but just hang on to your box for about 10 min your breaker box is usually grounded it all goes down to an 8ft copper rod burried in the ground. So this could help if u live in a big city
I don’t know I’m commercial in industrial. I haven’t done houses as much but as far as I can tell, it’s going to do the street side of the waterline. I don’t think they’re putting ground rods in every single house. Are they where you live or where you’ve worked on houses
Is it practical then to attach a copper wire to the outside of the breaker box somehow and run it to your bedroom (for a grounding sheet), instead of using a ground rod outside the house? And what "dirty electricity filter" would you recommend for plugging into the wall, if that's an actual solution? I've heard that some companies sell them, but I'm not sure if they're legit. Thanks.
When we lived in Mexico, I was on the sand and in the ocean all the time. It was a miracle for my back. Then we came back to the asphalt jungle that is the USA. 2 years later and my back pain flares up again. Honestly, I thought earthing is serious BS. I am a nurse and watched the documentary. I was intrigued enough to test it out for myself. It's been a week and I've just been going out to the grass, sitting in a chair and putting my bare feet onto the damp grass. My back that was in serious spasm and my experience of sciatica is resolved. My knees continued to hurt, but after a week, even that has resolved too. My sleep is improving (I still need more of that.) I will continue to "test" it and even though my experience is anecdotal, I am pretty impressed about how great it's gone so far.
For those who can earth outside, it's a must. Not only do you get the electrons from grounding, but you can get the benefits of vitD from UVB radiation and meletonin from the infrared.
You can greatly reduce any dirty power by flipping off the breaker the plug is on, because the ground is not on the breaker, it will disconnect the hot wire from the plug
I live in a dry climate and the static was extreme, I bought a 10% silver 1/3 coverage bed grounding sheet for the bottom part of the bed. what a deference, no more electrical havoc on my body. I plug it in the ground on the outlet. the rife machine and the PEMF mat help a lot also.
I’m an electrician in Toronto and I’ll be opening up just a side business, putting in ground rods and putting in a wire directly to inside your house and then running wires to wherever you want mats for grounding. I’ll be putting my number up and putting my Mail up I don’t think I should put it up on this site but what this guy is saying as far as interference is exactly right and it’s only grounded to the higher, the side of the water pipe and exactly what he saying is right the neutral or the return has current on it and it’s right beside your ground and you will have interference. That’s just the way it is and it goes back to ground which the ground also goes back to ground so what are you saying is exactly right?
Many people these days have moved over to streaming media and away from cable television. With that said; if you have cable ran into your home that is unused, the outside of that cable should be grounded. This is often ran into multiple rooms in homes and would give a cleaner access to grounding especially if the cable is disconnected. The actual grounding of the cable should be local where the signal is often disconnected on the pole or in a separate location if the lines are under ground. You can test the grounding with a voltmeter (AC mode) by putting the red lead in the power side of an electrical outlet and the black lead on the outside of the end of the coax cable.
I did it throughout my life but never new the science/benefits until your episode with Clint. I have purchased his products and stay grounded while I sleep.
2020 and it was a game changer! Love it and feel it when I sleep without the mat. Please see my comment on the main thread about dirty electricity; it has been debunked :-)
Not to mention a ground fault on your residential system. Pound a new ground rod, 7-9 feet deep and run a separate wire. Also, listen to Schuman's frequency while grounding.

I am on the uk,i bought a 4 foot copper rod,drove it directly into the earth in the garden,ran a wire direct into the house,now as i type this i have a paych on the palm of my left hand. Been earthing and grounding for 6 months now.

540 millivolts is what I measure coming from the surface of the ground, compared to 0 millivolts coming from the 'ground' of the electrical wall outlet. It is absolutely necessary to plug in outside to take advantage of the natural electrical charge of the ground. The electrical 'ground' of the house is too deep in the ground to have these electrons which are essential!
@@papadavewatson Je peux vous montrer comment faire. Vous avez besoin d'abord d'un multimètre. Vous enfoncez une tige d'acier dans le sol et à côté, vous mettez une cuillère en inox en contact avec la terre du sol en surface tout simplement. La sonde noire du multimètre touche la tige d'acier, et la sonde rouge touche la cuillère en surface. Vous allez mesurer un voltage assez bas en apparence, mais c'est en millivolts que vous allez faire la mesure. Ce voltage que je mesure à l'extérieur, je peux l'acheminer dans la maison en passant par la fenêtre, et je branche ce fil conducteur sur une grille de broche en treillis comme il s'en vend en quincaillerie en rouleau. En mettant les pieds sur le treillis, je sens l'effet d'un contact réel avec la charge électrique naturelle du sol et je l'apprécie énormément !!! Vous avez beau ne pas y croire, mais je peux le mesurer. Si vous ne testez pas, vous ne verrez jamais ce qui est présent dans le sol. Alors, je considère que le contact avec la charge électrique naturelle du sol, c'est ce qui conviendrait d'être appelé 'Earthing', parce que je me branche sur le courant électrique naturel de la Terre. Tandis que le 'Grounding', on le trouve dans une prise électrique murale dans une maison, et ce n'est pas du tout la même chose. D'ailleurs, Prenez le multimètre, et mettez la sonde noire sur le treillis de broche dans la maison, et la sonde rouge soit sur le calorifère, le robinet, la tuyauterie de la maison ou sur une vis enfoncée dans le ground de la prise murale électrique. Vous allez alors mesurer environ 540 millivolts ou parfois moins. Vous verrez donc que lorsque l'on se met les pieds dans le gazon, on cherche à avoir un contact avec la charge électrique naturelle du sol, et comme Clint Ober le dit, ce sont les électrons du sol qui montent dans les jambes et qui fond du bien à l'organisme. Le ground de la prise murale électrique ne donne rien du tout, sauf d'évacuer l'excédent de charge électrique néfaste dans l'organisme. Le 'ground est branché trop profond, et plus profond que 30 cm, on ne trouve plus de charge électrique. Donc, le 'ground' se branche là où il n'y a pas d'électrons ou de charge électrique dans le sol, parce que les électrons se tiennent en surface, et près de la surface, et non en profondeur. J'espère que vous serez courageux et que vous prendrez comme moi un multimètre pour tout vérifier ce que je viens de vous dire. Moi, je le fais déjà, depuis quelques mois seulement, et j'ai compris !
I've been using a grounding sheet and feeling amazing difference. Could say going out to get fresh air but breathing in car pollution. This is ridiculous 😂
What would happen if you have a direct connection to the ground from your bed, you are sleeping, and there is a bolt of lightning that hits the ground nearby?
Nothing lighting hits or takes the least resistance to Earth Point being any danger to you is the same as when you're not grounded, if lightning hits near you grounded or not the risk to harm is the same.
That’s the way to preserve the earth! Think about it! The planet is full of energy that is being stored, instead of being past through our bodies! IF WE DID MORE GROUNDING OR EARTHING WE COULD POSSIBLY TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME! It just a thought!
Can you please explain how I can explain to an electrician how to remove the dirty electricity from my outlet? We just got grounding mats yesterday. PLEASE asap I have an electrician here next week. Thank you for the podcast.
My Earthing sheet line go's directly to the base of a large cottonwood tree .opposite side of house from power meter and home ground . The line is grounded to the tree via a drilled hole in tree wire inserted and held in place with tight fitting 16 penny nail the benefit's were felt the first night , Always Looking for a better Connection .
Staying grounded on the bed is a terrible idea. For example, if the power cord of your cellphone is slightly damaged and has an exposed live wire and you touch it, you could get an electric shock.
I drilled a hole through my floor beneath my desk and drove a copper rod into the ground through a copper plate on the floor. I sit at my desk and work with bare feet resting on this plate. I AM grounded! My question is, will the ground rod from my home power source at the meter base interfere with me at over 20 feet away???
As a EE, I was always surprised to hear about people hooking their grounding mats to the electrical outlets. Maybe it’s better than nothing, but there’s no way it’s as good as a true earth ground! One thing I wonder is whether you could put a inductive choke (ferrite bead) on the wire from the mat to the outlet. I would think that would significantly knock down the high-frequency “noise” your guest talked about.
Yes, yes and yes! Place an oscilloscope at the terminal of the grounding strap (or mat or bed pad) which has the connecting wire plugged into the ground pin of an electrical outlet. Especially vivid is an outlet where a refrigerator is connected. Whenever the compressor kicks on or off, many tremendous high frequency spikes appear. Even though they are short lived in milliseconds of time, their amplitude is magnitudes above the typical sixty-cycle hum and trash that is inducted into the electrical house wiring. Move your grounding setup to an outlet that is on a different circuit than the refrigerator. You'll see the generated spikes, but at a lesser amplitude. Now introduce a ferrite choke that is designed for attenuating electrical power noise. The compressor spikes are still existent; however, their levels are just discernable. And you'll find a significant amount of the electrical noise has been reduced within its spectrum. This is an improvement if you're going to connect to the house wiring ground, but of course not as wholesome as walking barefooted in a grassy field. But maybe, just maybe, you'll begin to have tranquil dreams of walking along the beach as the surf laps over your toes.
I recall that this question may have been addressed by Clint Ober, or perhaps by one of the university scientists who were conducting studies for Clint. I didn't copy down the actual reference because I didn't have a reason at the time. My recall is that they think using an outlet ground might be a more consistent and even grounding method ... rather than using the actual dirt ground. It's possible that there was something said about it in that original hour-long documentary. I don't know if they're right and I have not studied their actual experiments or measurements.
To avoid the dirty electricity from a plug socket, can’t we simply connect the grounding cable to a nearby radiator, like I do when I’m upgrading my computer and wear an earthing bracelet with cable clipped to an indoor radiator? My bedroom is on the first floor, so running a cable outside to ground is not gonna happen, tbh.
The skin is the largest organ. I have concerns walking barefoot on lawn which have been treated with insecticides, fertilizers, etc…may cause more issues with the possibility of my body absorbing the chemicals. What are your thoughts? (I live in gated community. All grass is sprayed). Can I get full benefits of earthing walking in sand?
What happens if lightning strikes and you have the one line grounding rod away from the system? You’ll get electrocuted and that can be dangerous. My electrician informed me of that after I wanted to have the same set up as mentioned in the video.
I am in a third world country 220 is standard for everything here. All appliances. There are no grounds on outlets. Running a separate ground is only way here.
I have a wire connected to the ground outside, but I'm still measuring 8-12V 2uA at 50Hz. The readings are identical to my earth terminal in my outlets. Why is that?
Please, if you’re going to reference Clint Ober, don’t make up stuff. I have watched many many videos that Clint Ober has been a part of and he has always spoken of the first time he grounded himself was he put a conductive strip across his bed and grounded it and went to sleep with a volt meter in his hand and then woke up the next morning after sleeping all night and was surprised at how well he slept. He has never said he put a ground outside his window and wrapped it around his toe and went to sleep, I’m very disappointed that you would make something up like this.
Do you know what would happen to you if you're connecting yourself to ground wire, if there's a power surge or a lightning stike?! How's about sleeping outside on the ground with a lightning rod sorry I meant a grounding rod. 😅 I don't know what you people are thinking.
Its not 60 vibrations. Its 60 hz. At least use the correct terminolgy. There may be a miniscule amount of voltage that comes through but not enough to matter. It might be mili or micro volts.
I was director/producer of a movie 12 years ago called "The Grounded" .Watch it. Try testing plants in vases grounded vs. ungrounded and see what happens. Placebo Effect ?
❤...I walk out to my mailbox e every day barefoot....what do l have to lose 15 - 20 minutes and dirty feet everyday it feels good....So lm doing this...❤
A forgotten Sunnah (teachings) of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ even among his followers “The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to command us to be barefooted at times”. Narrated by Abu Dawood no.4160. Graded authenthic.
ignorant promotors of fake health claims: The key plausible claim of grounding, that ground electrons come up in sufficient quantities having an antioxidant effect greater than or equal to food antioxidants is simply false. Measured current is under one microamp. A microamp is 6.24 x 10 to the 12 electrons per second. A day has 86400 seconds but the math is simpler if we round up to 100,000 seconds. So a day of grounding ( assuming the electrons actually act as antioxidants)would give you 6..24x 10 th the 17th electrons. A vitamin C molecule (molecular weight 176) can neutralize at least one free radical by donating one electron. From the definition of a mole, the molecular weight of vitamin C and a bit of math...1.76 MILLIGRAMS of vitamin C can oxidize to release 6.02 x 10 to the 18th power electrons. So if even 10 % of that tiny amount of vitamin C is metabolized as an antioxidant the benefit would be similar to a day of grounding. No one takes you seriously if you claim your life changed from a tablespoon of orang juice. So we should not take seriously your life changed by taking off your shoes. Unsubscribe from people who give bad information.Regarding studies: you do not have the study posted. Almost all the positive studies are Earthing institute research paid for by vendors of useless Earthing mats.
John, I think the theory of grounding relies more on the fact that while connected to earth, the induced electromagnetic voltages into one's body from the huge variety of sources (electrical grid, cell towers, radio, television, comms, etc etc) all associated with modern living are discharged back to earth, and for the period of earth connection, the body is freed from the effect of these induced signals. You might find this research paper interesting: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3265077/
I would guess that the more you ground, the better. Why ground for just a few minutes when you can ground for most of the day? (And all of the night!) Before rubber-soled shoes, humans were probably grounded more often than not!
@@eandrgoodwinmy thoughts exactly. This is why I purchased a grounding sheet due my bed. I spend 8 hours there every day. More if I nap. Which is rarely these days. One hour or earthing is good for you. 8 hours is even better.
This 2 minute video and the comments (and responses) below changed my view on the earthing fad: Are Earthing Sheets and Products Safe? ruclips.net/video/_XedSoCAcR0/видео.html
We live in a disconnected exploitive society. The fact that there is a name for earthing and that it has become a thing because it was studied and beneficial is beyond sad. This is pathetic 😂
Interesting , but what if I'm out walking barefoot and step on a rusty nail and get tetnus or step on someones dirty hypodermic needle , that was used for drug use !
Unfortunately it isn't pseudo. I'm a very logical person, am very sceptical about anything like this and always want proof before believing such nonsense. Somehow grounding sounded interesting and in 2020 my OH convinced me we should start giving it a try. Firstly with some barefoot walking outside, it felt good. Then an earthing sheet while sleeping. My goodness, from night one I felt so much better. Calmer, more 'human' somehow, better sleep, stronger. It sounds crazy but... it is true :-)
@@videohistorysnippets8963 last I heard (I don't keep up with it tbh), no or almost no research had been done into it. That's why there's no science to back up the claims. As I said, I'm a very logical person... so was very very sceptical about it indeed!! I thought it was utter BS. Then I tried it. 🙂
Because there is still a considerable length of phase conductor from the switchboard to the wall switch. It's that length that can still cause cross-talk of spikes and other interference into the ground conductor lying parallel to the phase conductor in the cable.

Are there filters that can go between your ground connection in an outlet and your earthing devices?
540 millivolts is what I measure coming from the surface of the ground, compared to 0 millivolts coming from the 'ground' of the electrical wall outlet. It is absolutely necessary to plug in outside to take advantage of the natural electrical charge of the ground. The electrical 'ground' of the house is too deep in the ground to have these electrons which are essential!
I've never heard anyone else say this. Where do you get this info?
@@papadavewatson Je peux vous montrer comment faire. Vous avez besoin d'abord d'un multimètre. Vous enfoncez une tige d'acier dans le sol et à côté, vous mettez une cuillère en inox en contact avec la terre du sol en surface tout simplement. La sonde noire du multimètre touche la tige d'acier, et la sonde rouge touche la cuillère en surface. Vous allez mesurer un voltage assez bas en apparence, mais c'est en millivolts que vous allez faire la mesure. Ce voltage que je mesure à l'extérieur, je peux l'acheminer dans la maison en passant par la fenêtre, et je branche ce fil conducteur sur une grille de broche en treillis comme il s'en vend en quincaillerie en rouleau. En mettant les pieds sur le treillis, je sens l'effet d'un contact réel avec la charge électrique naturelle du sol et je l'apprécie énormément !!! Vous avez beau ne pas y croire, mais je peux le mesurer. Si vous ne testez pas, vous ne verrez jamais ce qui est présent dans le sol. Alors, je considère que le contact avec la charge électrique naturelle du sol, c'est ce qui conviendrait d'être appelé 'Earthing', parce que je me branche sur le courant électrique naturel de la Terre. Tandis que le 'Grounding', on le trouve dans une prise électrique murale dans une maison, et ce n'est pas du tout la même chose. D'ailleurs, Prenez le multimètre, et mettez la sonde noire sur le treillis de broche dans la maison, et la sonde rouge soit sur le calorifère, le robinet, la tuyauterie de la maison ou sur une vis enfoncée dans le ground de la prise murale électrique. Vous allez alors mesurer environ 540 millivolts ou parfois moins. Vous verrez donc que lorsque l'on se met les pieds dans le gazon, on cherche à avoir un contact avec la charge électrique naturelle du sol, et comme Clint Ober le dit, ce sont les électrons du sol qui montent dans les jambes et qui fond du bien à l'organisme. Le ground de la prise murale électrique ne donne rien du tout, sauf d'évacuer l'excédent de charge électrique néfaste dans l'organisme. Le 'ground est branché trop profond, et plus profond que 30 cm, on ne trouve plus de charge électrique. Donc, le 'ground' se branche là où il n'y a pas d'électrons ou de charge électrique dans le sol, parce que les électrons se tiennent en surface, et près de la surface, et non en profondeur. J'espère que vous serez courageux et que vous prendrez comme moi un multimètre pour tout vérifier ce que je viens de vous dire. Moi, je le fais déjà, depuis quelques mois seulement, et j'ai compris !
I've been using a grounding sheet and feeling amazing difference. Could say going out to get fresh air but breathing in car pollution. This is ridiculous 😂
What would happen if you have a direct connection to the ground from your bed, you are sleeping, and there is a bolt of lightning that hits the ground nearby?
Maybe you'd better be prayed up!
Nothing lighting hits or takes the least resistance to Earth Point being any danger to you is the same as when you're not grounded, if lightning hits near you grounded or not the risk to harm is the same.
@@steveroberts512 wrong...lightning takes ALL paths to earth
And what if you are banging your neighbour’s wife and he finds out and connects a live wire to your grounding rod outside in the middle of the night?
That’s the way to preserve the earth! Think about it! The planet is full of energy that is being stored, instead of being past through our bodies! IF WE DID MORE GROUNDING OR EARTHING WE COULD POSSIBLY TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME! It just a thought!
Also how do I test the interference in our house? We have a 2 story house so it would be difficult to run an extension cord outside?
Can you please explain how I can explain to an electrician how to remove the dirty electricity from my outlet? We just got grounding mats yesterday. PLEASE asap I have an electrician here next week. Thank you for the podcast.
I love this question-I would like to know, too.
I have the same question.
My Earthing sheet line go's directly to the base of a large cottonwood tree .opposite side of house from power meter and home ground . The line is grounded to the tree via a drilled hole in tree wire inserted and held in place with tight fitting 16 penny nail the benefit's were felt the first night , Always Looking for a better Connection .
Staying grounded on the bed is a terrible idea. For example, if the power cord of your cellphone is slightly damaged and has an exposed live wire and you touch it, you could get an electric shock.
I agree 100% with grounding. Im addicted
I live in an apartment, eleven floors up. Other than the electric wall output, any advice?
go outside
Please listen to the podcasts with david stetzer, he is the OG expert on this subject
Perfect ❤
Great video, but you will never see hospitals adopt grounding.
I drilled a hole through my floor beneath my desk and drove a copper rod into the ground through a copper plate on the floor. I sit at my desk and work with bare feet resting on this plate. I AM grounded! My question is, will the ground rod from my home power source at the meter base interfere with me at over 20 feet away???
Where is the link for the study? I could not find it in the notes.
As a EE, I was always surprised to hear about people hooking their grounding mats to the electrical outlets. Maybe it’s better than nothing, but there’s no way it’s as good as a true earth ground!
One thing I wonder is whether you could put a inductive choke (ferrite bead) on the wire from the mat to the outlet. I would think that would significantly knock down the high-frequency “noise” your guest talked about.
Yes, yes and yes! Place an oscilloscope at the terminal of the grounding strap (or mat or bed pad) which has the connecting wire plugged into the ground pin of an electrical outlet. Especially vivid is an outlet where a refrigerator is connected. Whenever the compressor kicks on or off, many tremendous high frequency spikes appear. Even though they are short lived in milliseconds of time, their amplitude is magnitudes above the typical sixty-cycle hum and trash that is inducted into the electrical house wiring. Move your grounding setup to an outlet that is on a different circuit than the refrigerator. You'll see the generated spikes, but at a lesser amplitude. Now introduce a ferrite choke that is designed for attenuating electrical power noise. The compressor spikes are still existent; however, their levels are just discernable. And you'll find a significant amount of the electrical noise has been reduced within its spectrum. This is an improvement if you're going to connect to the house wiring ground, but of course not as wholesome as walking barefooted in a grassy field. But maybe, just maybe, you'll begin to have tranquil dreams of walking along the beach as the surf laps over your toes.
I recall that this question may have been addressed by Clint Ober, or perhaps by one of the university scientists who were conducting studies for Clint. I didn't copy down the actual reference because I didn't have a reason at the time.
My recall is that they think using an outlet ground might be a more consistent and even grounding method ... rather than using the actual dirt ground.
It's possible that there was something said about it in that original hour-long documentary. I don't know if they're right and I have not studied their actual experiments or measurements.
I mean, when you live in a condo at the 35th floor, it gets kinda complicated hahah
Thank you.
@@DNewkirk-fk3sethank you!
Use GREENWAVE FILTERS, which greatly reduce dirty electricity, and have a 3 prong plug on the bottom,
When i ground w plug in grounding outlet, i get very lightheaded and woozy. I only do it outside on the Earth.
yes because that is the natural way
To avoid the dirty electricity from a plug socket, can’t we simply connect the grounding cable to a nearby radiator, like I do when I’m upgrading my computer and wear an earthing bracelet with cable clipped to an indoor radiator?
My bedroom is on the first floor, so running a cable outside to ground is not gonna happen, tbh.
If you use a grounding rod out the window, how does it connect to the mat?
You have to have a wire from rod through window and touching your mat
Is dirty electricity same as electric field, magnetic field radio field? My device shows zero levels of these when I place it on my grounding mat.
4 minutes in Where are you getting the actual data? I looked at the show notes and there is a lot of info. Where is the data that is being read?
These people don't need evidence, just followers, and customers.
Would like to know clint obers opinion of this interview.
The skin is the largest organ. I have concerns walking barefoot on lawn which have been treated with insecticides, fertilizers, etc…may cause more issues with the possibility of my body absorbing the chemicals. What are your thoughts? (I live in gated community. All grass is sprayed). Can I get full benefits of earthing walking in sand?
What happens if lightning strikes and you have the one line grounding rod away from the system? You’ll get electrocuted and that can be dangerous. My electrician informed me of that after I wanted to have the same set up as mentioned in the video.
I am in a third world country 220 is standard for everything here. All appliances. There are no grounds on outlets. Running a separate ground is only way here.
What kind of wire are you running out the window?
What may do ppl use ? Do you buy it on Amazon ?😊
I have a wire connected to the ground outside, but I'm still measuring 8-12V 2uA at 50Hz. The readings are identical to my earth terminal in my outlets. Why is that?
DOES IT MATTER WHAT AWG IS THE COPPER GROUNDING CABLE ?
Instead of using only a red light bulb, Can I use a smart multi colored led light bulb? And just use red light at night?
You can also spend about $20 and grab a grounding rod, some copper wire, and some metal duct tape! No dirty electricity 😊
Please, if you’re going to reference Clint Ober, don’t make up stuff. I have watched many many videos that Clint Ober has been a part of and he has always spoken of the first time he grounded himself was he put a conductive strip across his bed and grounded it and went to sleep with a volt meter in his hand and then woke up the next morning after sleeping all night and was surprised at how well he slept. He has never said he put a ground outside his window and wrapped it around his toe and went to sleep, I’m very disappointed that you would make something up like this.
Thank you.
Do you know what would happen to you if you're connecting yourself to ground wire, if there's a power surge or a lightning stike?!
How's about sleeping outside on the ground with a lightning rod sorry I meant a grounding rod. 😅
I don't know what you people are thinking.
Earthing .. From 07:21 ..
I always worry to cut myself on trash or needles
I bought the grounding mat and had to sell it due that my health got worse and I started getting inflamation from all my joints.
Sounds like you were detoxing and needed to start about 15 mins a day and work your way up! You should try again.
Also do a parasite cleanse and detox with diatomaceous earth drink pure organic coconut smoothies get rid non organic foods and fast foods

Its not 60 vibrations. Its 60 hz. At least use the correct terminolgy. There may be a miniscule amount of voltage that comes through but not enough to matter. It might be mili or micro volts.
Placebo effect is one hell of a drug!
I was director/producer of a movie 12 years ago called "The Grounded" .Watch it. Try testing plants in vases grounded vs. ungrounded and see what happens. Placebo Effect ?
❤...I walk out to my mailbox e every day barefoot....what do l have to lose 15 - 20 minutes and dirty feet everyday it feels good....So lm doing this...❤
me too!
Pretty sure how those crackheads in DTLA manage to avoid getting sick for years by never wearing shoes.
Oh, I didn’t even realize my email is on there

ignorant promotors of fake health claims: The key plausible claim of grounding, that ground electrons come up in sufficient quantities having an antioxidant effect greater than or equal to food antioxidants is simply false.
Measured current is under one microamp.
A microamp is 6.24 x 10 to the 12 electrons per second.
A day has 86400 seconds but the math is simpler if we round up to 100,000 seconds.
So a day of grounding ( assuming the electrons actually act as antioxidants)would give you
6..24x 10 th the 17th electrons.
A vitamin C molecule (molecular weight 176) can neutralize at least one free radical by donating one electron. From the definition of a mole, the molecular weight of vitamin C and
a bit of math...1.76 MILLIGRAMS of vitamin C can oxidize to release 6.02 x 10 to the 18th power electrons. So if even 10 % of that tiny amount of vitamin C is metabolized as an antioxidant the benefit would be similar to a day of grounding. No one takes you seriously if you claim your life changed from a tablespoon of orang juice. So we should not take seriously your life changed by taking off your shoes. Unsubscribe from people who give bad information.Regarding studies: you do not have the study posted. Almost all the positive studies are Earthing institute research paid for by vendors of useless Earthing mats.
John, I think the theory of grounding relies more on the fact that while connected to earth, the induced electromagnetic voltages into one's body from the huge variety of sources (electrical grid, cell towers, radio, television, comms, etc etc) all associated with modern living are discharged back to earth, and for the period of earth connection, the body is freed from the effect of these induced signals. You might find this research paper interesting: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3265077/
Wow a full 8:00 minutes before you let your guess talk? Really?
Why even buy a grounding mat, thats a waste of money just go outside and stand on the grass for an hour.
Nice to sleep on
I would guess that the more you ground, the better. Why ground for just a few minutes when you can ground for most of the day? (And all of the night!)
Before rubber-soled shoes, humans were probably grounded more often than not!
@@eandrgoodwinmy thoughts exactly. This is why I purchased a grounding sheet due my bed. I spend 8 hours there every day. More if I nap. Which is rarely these days. One hour or earthing is good for you. 8 hours is even better.
Might be helpful for people who live in places like NYC or any dense city!
@@betterechoes I think I would rather connect my ground mat to the water pipes in my apartment than the ground lug of an outlet!
it doesnt need to be plugged in at all
Nothing burger!!
Touchi transformers puts me to sleep immediately😂😂😂😂😂
This 2 minute video and the comments (and responses) below changed my view on the earthing fad:
Are Earthing Sheets and Products Safe?

I’m not sure why you need to add “electricity” into grounding? Why not use the universe God gave us?
🤡
GO CARNIVORE DUDE!!! IT KNOCKS INFLAMMATION OUT OF THE PARK!!!
🤡
We live in a disconnected exploitive society. The fact that there is a name for earthing and that it has become a thing because it was studied and beneficial is beyond sad. This is pathetic 😂
I just eat dirt so I’m constantly earthing

A plant based diet will reduce inflammation.
Depends on your gut microbiome state.
@@Duskmelt yes, a plant based diet helps support a healthy gut microbiome.
Oxalates are inflammatory to our system. Red meat keeps inflammation down.

zero science get your shit together
Interesting , but what if I'm out walking barefoot and step on a rusty nail and get tetnus or step on someones dirty hypodermic needle , that was used for drug use !
Tetanus to me.. is just another way for them to 💉 us
Get a tetanus shot
This is when people who aren’t in the medical or research field shouldn’t be talking about studies that are stating ridiculous claims.
I love everything you do except for this pseudo science , maybe get Steven Novella from Science Based Medicine to discuss the evidence.
Try it. I didn’t believe it until I tried it. Best sleep of my life.
Unfortunately it isn't pseudo. I'm a very logical person, am very sceptical about anything like this and always want proof before believing such nonsense. Somehow grounding sounded interesting and in 2020 my OH convinced me we should start giving it a try. Firstly with some barefoot walking outside, it felt good. Then an earthing sheet while sleeping. My goodness, from night one I felt so much better. Calmer, more 'human' somehow, better sleep, stronger. It sounds crazy but... it is true :-)
@@LeFrez I’m pleased it works for you but there is no science that backs up the claims, but if your happy go for it.
@@videohistorysnippets8963 last I heard (I don't keep up with it tbh), no or almost no research had been done into it. That's why there's no science to back up the claims. As I said, I'm a very logical person... so was very very sceptical about it indeed!! I thought it was utter BS. Then I tried it. 🙂
There is science to back this up, actual measurable changes like blood viscosity.
How can the dirty electricity get around if you keep the switch off... i dont undersrtand. If the switch is off then there should be zero current.
Because there is still a considerable length of phase conductor from the switchboard to the wall switch. It's that length that can still cause cross-talk of spikes and other interference into the ground conductor lying parallel to the phase conductor in the cable.
Heard about it first from you Josh.
