Rainy Sunday, checking emails, and I see a link to yet another article about Grounding. Not, as usually discussed here, making electrical equipment and circuits safer with protective earthing, but making us healthier. Rather than repeating - have a look here:
I have seen people spending loads on bed sheets with silver threads that connect to the earth in a bedside socket. And all sorts of other things. Some claim complete transformation through doing so.
Being a sceptic, it looks to me like another way of flogging a whole load of products at inflated prices to the gullible.
And there are little things that don't seem feasible like suggesting you can adequately check the earthing in your socket using one of the plug-in mis-wiring detectors. And use of the Body Voltage Detector "available from Radio Shack".
That link ends with:
"Grounding May Be the Missing Link to Getting Healthy
Earthing may be one of the most important overlooked factors in public health. When grounding is restored, many people report significant improvement in a wide range of ailments, including chronic fatigue.
These changes are rapid and often occur within 30 minutes.
To date all of the individuals who reported that they had inflammatory issues have benefited from Earthing. This includes people with various severe autoimmune diseases. Note that we do not assert that Earthing is a "treatment" or a "cure" for any disease or disorder. Instead, it can be said without any equivocation that the human body evolved in contact with the Earth and needs to maintain this natural contact in order to function properly.
When you provide your body a constant source of free electrons, through diet or grounding you help to radically reduce inflammation which is widely acknowledged as one of the primary factors contributing to premature aging and chronic disease."
I'd be interested in any opinions.
