About grounding/earthing

[whippersnapper]

I don't think I have heard of Natto or PEA. Will check them out.

Thanks for the info and sorry everyone for turning this thread into a cluster. I need to stfu.

Update: We got a ton of snow in the last couple of weeks so I haven't done the crazy barefoot thing since. My hip pain had about gone away. Now in the last couple days it is flaring up again. I have no idea if the crazy grounding helped but we have had a thaw in the last couple days and starting to see some bare ground again. I think I might just give it another try. It can't hurt and is free.

I never really noticed any difference in my sleep or other ailments.

Earthing (Grounding) the Human Body Reduces Blood Viscosity—a Major Factor in Cardiovascular Disease

Conclusions

Grounding increases the surface charge on RBCs and thereby reduces blood viscosity and clumping. Grounding appears to be one of the simplest and yet most profound interventions for helping reduce cardiovascular risk and cardiovascular events.

I still feel better walking around in the yard and garden barefoot. Haven't went to the extrememe of running wires to ground the bed or floor.

At the moment we both still use the simplest and cheapest set-up: a metal wire connected to the central heating system.
I also made the exact same setup in the living room for where i always sit on the couch.
We had to change back to a solid copper wire though, as the non-copper multistrand wires started breaking after a while which resulted in very sharp protrusions.

I did discover something else though, and my first thought was that i was imagining things.
But this is also talked about in several of those Pubmed articles: earthing lowers or even removes pain.
First experienced this with a toothache, when i connected the wire to my cheek the pain disappeared in minutes.
Totally unbelievable i know, but i also tried it later on eye pain (and related headaches), as well as kidney pain (due to nasty medication)
These all disappeared for the most part or even completely during earthing.
The problem with it (at least for me) is that pain can also come back a while after you stopped earthing.
Not always, but it happens.
So there is that.
But even the temporary relief of pain so you can have a good night's sleep is very valuable to me.

Last year i had also thought of those antistatic wristbands that you can buy very cheap on E-Bay, but so far that hasn't materialized yet.
