Earthing/Grounding

alstrup
Hi - I was just searching the archives to find out if anyone here have used and benefited from Earthing/Grounding products? Do let me know.

Thanks.

Seems like we might have had one or two people benefiting... I actually felt worse
from a bedsheet version plugged into a ground pin on a power outlet, although it
may have had some slight benefit when I don't actually make contact with it.
So that would be "indirect grounding"... :-)

     Last week I had a specialist come and assess the frequencies in my house -- I asked him about grounding pads/sheets etc and he was not keen on them. He said that he had nothing against correctly set up grounding devices but he said if a person is between some frequencies, regardless what kind,  and a grounding device that the frequencies will go right through the person to try to get to that grounding device. I had bought a grounding pad and was planning on using it to put my feet on while I was on the computer but he nixed that --in my office or computer room I have smart meter frequencies as well as frequencies from electricity in the wall and from the computer plus frequencies from cell towers beaming through the ceiling.

Then you should put the grounding device between you and the
harmful frequencies (with you never making contact with it).  Then
those frequencies will go to the grounding device, and not you.

This is actually how I have my bedsheet grounding device set up.
But like I said, it only seems to help a little when used this way,
and it's difficult to say for sure if it helps at all.

Marc--Grounding is helpful to anyone with or without EHS but you must NOT NOT NOT use an electrical system for grounding!

Shan--Your specialist is wise! My expert advised me to ground to an electrical system, but being so severely EHS I quickly found that ANY wire attached to an electrical system has voltage in it.

For proof beyond my experience--here is a video for those who don't believe that there is voltage on the ground wire: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LReFZuijvH4&feature=plcp  

To make matters worse any conductive metal/wire may have voltage--gathered from the air--from nearby appliances, wifi, etc.  This video demonstrates how an underwire bra can take on EMFs from being near a television set: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaQL7pj6N8g&feature=channel&list=UL  

Probably the best way to ground yourself is to walk in the ocean because it's away from power lines and grounding rods. The next best is to put your feet/body into moist dirt. HoweverÂ…I have a TriField meter and was advised by a friend to try it everywhere I go. Ground currents are everywhere if you live in a populated area. My friend found a strong current in the middle of a camp ground with no electricity!

Still, grounding yourself to moist dirt is probably your best option as your body is taking on voltage and you want to try to get rid of it. Create your own grounding rod and run your grounding pad wire to it. Here is an inexpensive way to do a grounding rod: www.wirelessmess.org/grounding-your-car-for-sleeping/

Hello All,
 
I have a fiend who grounds herself by placing a knife in the  ground and
she holds on to it for several minutes.  Is this a  valid  way to ground?

Touching a conductive metal (such as a knife made of stainless steel) which is in moist soil--yes, the knife if a grounding rod. Just make sure that the entire knife is stainless steel--that you are NOT holding on to a non-conductive (plastic or enamel) handle.

I like this idea. Here I've been telling people to go to the hardware store to find a rod when they could be looking in the kitchen. :)  The only drawback is that some knives may be made of less-conductive metal, and that they are short so might not meet with moist soil. That is why grounding rods are usually 5 to 8 feet deep--to make sure they contact moist soil as moisture is needed to carry the voltage into the ground.

Re: Earthing/Grounding

  My understanding is that grounding  actually in the ground is not possible for many people - partly as the ground in many residential areas contains a lot of electricity. My understanding was that if one tried to ground in ground that was full of dirty electricity and electrical fields that not only did it not work but that one could be have negative effects from this..........

      I live in a townhouse --one of over 260 townhouses in this condominium. The ground here is full of various cables, phone wires,   etc --in fact I was shocked when the person who assessed my house for levels of frequencies also found high levels of  electromagnetic fields in my backyard -- plus he also found that the cells towers were also beaming directly into my backyard with resulting high levels of Microwaves Radiation.  There are also 2 smart meters in my backyard , not counting the smart meters of my next door neighbors..........So would you suggest that I ground using a grounding rod in my backyard?

Thank you for your response about the knife.  I doubt I  could penetrate
the soil with an eight foot rod. Soil is very hard. I'm not  strong enough to
do that.
