Great channel. I had a massive heart attack in August 2023. While I was in hospital I was also diagnosed with a meningioma (brain tumour) at the base of cerebellum. My BP was through the roof and I was put on all sorts of meds. I read something about how Australian Aboriginal Peoples believe that sleeping on the ground in direct contact with the Earth is paramount to health. I decided to give it a try. I stopped all my meds and I started to sleep in the backyard on the ground (a few strange looks from the neighbours!) and went barefoot everywhere. Including a 10km walk each afternoon. The first night I slept on the ground outside my BP went from an average of 190/110 to 125/75!!! That's after one night!! After four months of sleeping outside and barefooting, I feel fantastic in so many ways. I have dropped 10 kgs, my BP hovers around 120/70, and my 4cm tumour has shrunk to 2cm! That's without any medication at all except for the medical cannabis prescribed by my doctor - which to me seems to work as an excellent adjunct treatment with the grounding. Thanks again for a great vid! Cheers.
Also it might sound like I'm being mean, but medication exists for a reason. When someone says "I stopped all my meds and just did x, y and z" someone else might do it and end up harming themselves. I'm glad you're better off, truly, but don't be irresponsible acting like what happened wasn't something short of a miracle. I was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor as well, about 3cm. I did what the doctors suggested because if I didn't I would have died.
Very happy for you. To shut others from criticizing your comment which I found very interesting by the way but u might want to put a disclaimer 😊. What works for some might not work for others but I love the grounding method it has helped me tremendously with inflamation.
So I didn't know anything about grounding & earthing when I started my garden this year. But I have told my husband several times throughout the summer that I feel the best in my garden. I have chronic pain in my feet that basically never goes away EXCEPT when I am gardening with my hands in the dirt. I could never explain it, I thought maybe it was because it was calming etc. But now I think there is much more to it. I wasn't wearing gloves because I had read that getting dirt under the nails was good and helped our immunities so I never wear gloves. There is something to this stuff, and as I posted in a comment below, I don't care if it's a placebo effect if I feel better. But it can't be that if I didn't even know about this ahead of time. This is my experience.
i'm conducting a research paper about grounding, i'm definitely one of the more skeptical people, but the whole molecular and "charge exchange" aspect of it is fascinating. this video is underrated, also thanks for the articles! i was having trouble finding ones that aren't motivated by money
Good luck with your paper! Theres tons of validity to be skeptical, while also I think there's enough information to be confident that "something" in regards to improving our health is going on :)
This has changed my life,I use a carbon infused earthing bed sheet,I now sleep 7-9 hours,whereas being an insomniac on Zopiclone I used to get 2-3 hours. This works.
I'd also be interested in how your paper went. I do have to say I don't care if it is grounding or the placebo effect, if my pain goes away that's all that matters. It's cheaper than going to the doctor and less invasive than all the tests and labs. I've had my grounding items for less than 24 hours but I do already notice a difference.
I personally feel like grounding dosen´t harm your health wich is already an upgrade to normal shoes and our behavior with them. In my experience going barefoot makes you immediately more focused and therefore more grounded. Kinda like mediation or drawing etc. I don't really think that earthing has a huge amount of outcome by itself but it can definitely help if you believe in it and if it makes you stop choosing worse options. Feels like the biggest aspect is becoming kinda more humble and focused on what really matters to our selfs without expecting things to be a miracle, wich a lot of things happen to be called nowadays. hope this makes sense, English isn't my first language.. great video btw., love how you always point out how things work for you and how it isn't equal to being the best for everyone
Until you step on a goat head. Come on now. Do you really think your body is going to have ANY benefits from taking your shoes off? Grounding is just complete and utter nonsense.
Wow that's the exact conclusion I came to. I was basically thinking, "what about pesticides, junk food, etc?". Grounding can't be the only factor, but it also makes sense that since we have so many electrical processes in our body, we would benefit from an activity that rids us of any static charge.
I can't go barefoot for 9 months of the year cause of snow. Hear me out. What if I tie a wire to my toe and plug it into the ground outlet? You think it'll do anything?
I get the concept. As a kid, I grew up playing barefoot in my backyard, playing w dirt, etc. it makes sense. But, 1. Barefoot on the soil can expose us to parasites. 2. Primitive people would’ve killed to have shoes. They lived terrible lives as do current un contacted peoples around the world, and both groups had short life spans. 3. I’m trying it as I have multiple autoimmune disorders, so, if something works, or doesn’t, I feel it IMMEDIATELY (good or bad). It’s like a superpower. I am still reading the literature and I’m nerdy enough to read actual studies and their methods. I’m still giving it a chance still. But, we MUST be more skeptical and seek our own truth. Good luck to whoever is on their own journey.
primitive people lived to 120 years and even more and they were way happier and more joyful than us. compared to them we are miserable idiots who live way shorter lives. abraham lived to 137, thats evidence. also look up weston a price foundation
@@אריאלברקוביץ-ת5ס That has never been proven, and skeletal remains are almost always folks between late teens and early 30s or 40s (hunting age). Even as someone from Puerto Rico, I know that we didn’t have shoes till the Americans took over from Spain in the early 1900s. We had a lot of parasites and shoes took care of that. I’d love to live a ‘primitive’ (I think they were actually advanced civilizations) lifestyle but shoes do safe lives. What we need to do is balance it out. Not be barefoot all the time and not have shoes all the time. Not be as germaphobic while enjoying some germ indulgence. All excess is where we go off a bit.
The lack of funding for grounding research says more about the pharmaceutical industry than about grounding. Why do research into a treatment that provides no economic benefits for your company at the end?Inflammation is recognised as a major cause of chronic diseases, however, it's unlikely that young people who are generally free from chronic disease will notice much improvement from grounding. Older people with chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes and it's concommitant circulatory issues may however notice the benefit of grounding and, if so, it is worth the outlay for a grounding sheet or whatever. If it doesn't work out for you you still have a new sheet! Even if the only effect is a placebo effect so what? Even the placebo effect is an effect, which is better than no effect, and this medical fact is highly underrated!
Grounding doesn't cause inflammation to go away or be reduced. At BEST any study that shows grounding reduces inflammation, it's because of the placebo effect. At worst, it's just cherry picked garbage that isn't true. Besides, I doubt anyone here has read the study in it's entirety. There were SIX families that were studied. That's the most insignificant study I think I've almost ever read. It's as bad as Andrew Wakefields "the MMR vaccine causes autism" study done back in the early 90s.
Are there not better ways to determine the truth of a matter than merely one's gut feel? A common statement in videos about earthing is that the earth is negatively charged. Is that really true? If so, what makes it that way? I learned in physics classes and text books that the surface of the earth is indeed negatively charged on fair weather days. However, it is not always negative. When thunder clouds move overhead, the negative charges on the bottom of the clouds induces a positive charge on the earth. (Learned from physics.) Have any of the earthing practitioners slept soundly on an earthed mat or earthed sheets when there was a thunder cloud overhead? If so, then their good sleep cannot be attributed to being negatively charged. Placebo effect is a better explanation. Also, if something that can conduct electricity, such as one's body, has excess charge on it, then because like charges repel, all the excess charges will move away from each other as far as possible. The consequence is that there will be no excess charge inside the conductor (body), but instead all of the excess charge is found on the outer surface. Therefore, can there be excess electrons inside the body to engage in desired chemical reactions? Why have I not read or heard about a research institution carrying out a study of earthing by having a large group of people sleeping on earthing mats or sheets with a cord that plugs into the wall, but neither the subjects nor the examining doctors know which beds are truly earthed and which are not. I think that would be very revealing. I strongly suspect that neither the patients nor the doctors could tell who was truly earthed and who was not.
Grounding advocates don't care about science. They care about feelings. Mainly so they can sell shit. Otherwise they wouldn't use words like "grounding" which makes absolutely no sense because your body is not a "circuit".
Honestly, most scientific studies are funded by a corporation that has a vested interest in the result. Look at all the studies on the effects of salt, or fat, and who backed them. If the aim is to sell as many grounding mats as you can, they would focus only on the effects of the mats and wouldn't emphasise how easy and free it is to just stand barefoot on the earth for 10 minutes.
What do you mean? Of course they would, it's not reasonable to sleep on the ground outside. That's why the mats are being sold in the first place. Of course its not practical to "ground" yourself without being stationary for long periods of time, unless you're outside for extended periods of time. Which is not practical.
@bobvance- I live New Zealand and there's grass everywhere so it actually is pretty feasible to take a 10 minute barefoot walk or sit on the grass barefoot for a while. But I guess that's not so available in cities like New York or something. I didn't really think of that.
@@tinyfreckle Right, but even then, you're not going to "reap the benefits" from 10 minutes every few hours. Even IF the benefits WERE indeed real, which there's absolutely no evidence to believe so.
@@tinyfreckle Basically my point was that this product offers a way to spend a lot of time "grounding" or "earthing" yourself where using a similar product outside of sleeping or chilling on the couch would be incredibly cumbersome. That was pretty much my pojnt.
@bobvance- well, there is some evidence, such as the measurable reduction blood cell clumping and, therefore, blood viscosity, which can be seen under a microscope. But I see your point. The actual extent of the benefits remains to be seen, and our fast-paced, modern lives necessitate efficiency with our time, which would make most people want to capitalise on the time they're unconscious to do such a task rather than wasting valuable waking moments idling outside.
I started sleeping on floor mats after watching your videos on them and that has helped me a lot. Why in this video you mentioned that you're not doing that anymore. Do they have bad effects in the long-term?🤔
That's awesome! I loved my grounding sheet! But during a move, It got lost and just haven't purchased one sense. But I am planning to make a video, tracking my sleep for 30 days without the Mat, and then with the Mat, so stay tuned for that! No downsides that I'm aware of, so keep sleeping on your mat!
Getting out in the sun, shoes or no shoes, has proven science behind it. That being said, running around barefoot and naked is a hell of a lot more fun than worrying about health benefits.
Bottom line: more sleep, better sleep, better creativity (brain function). At your age these things are just interesting. When you hit 40 they become illness and change your entire life. Not sure why you needed to tell people to follow their gut… go inside if you feel that is good for you…. When it impacted so much.
Maybe it works for some is because the thought is planted in your mind, therefore you perceived it as helping you. I'm always skeptical about anything and must have substantial proof.
Cade, after all this research have you ever tried at least to measure the quantity of electricity goin on before and after being grounded without products just with a meter? Or you love to read data and thats it? Data can be changed, numbers you experiment not. I understand your opinion but always verify and show without cuts the PRACTICAL results, of course without any of those product involved not talking about the brand. Don't stop at the movement, they have nothing to do with truth. Thruth you can verify by yourelf and make an opinion out of it if you actually feel better or not. Don't waste time in claims and people or groups if they say yes or no. Try that yourself that is what counts. THe rest is just a tedtalk for entertaining purposes. Thank you
Completely the opposite. Do your research before making such an asinine assumption. I eliminated my chronic hypertension with earthing/grounding. My Dr. hadn’t even heard of it after explaining to him what it is he proceeds to say “so I’ll write you another prescription” which I absolutely refused. I live in a mid rise so when I can’t get outside (earthing) I use a grounding mat in my office and the same brand on my bed that I place near my calves.

Yeah, I get all my ideas from the aborigines.
Your tumor did not shrink because you grounded yourself. Stop being dumb.
Also it might sound like I'm being mean, but medication exists for a reason.

nice comment 🙏
This is an extremely well made and structured video, Cade. Very good points and useful context while staying nice and concise. Thanks!
Thank you! Means a lot!
The more I'm outside and barefoot, the better I feel. I mow the lawn and rake in the fall barefoot. 👣
That's sick! I will do the same :)

Helps me a ton, I wake up achy and inflamed and when I use a ground wire I wake up so much more rested and not on fire right out of bed
This was awesome Cade, thanks. Love your videos man 🤟🏼
Thanks for watching :)
All I know is I have more dreams when I sleep grounded. But you still have to take care of your health, nutrition, etc. it's not a cure all.
I mean, it's literally a cure nothing lol
I have more dreams when I sleep more.

Showering or other water activities are earthing too, no?
touching faucets certainly is, since they are metal pipes connected to ground
Why everything in this society has to be monetized? It’s completely free to go to a park and walk barefoot
