I have been experimenting with the Barefoot Grounding pad as well as my
home made ones over the past 6 months or so. Yes I have been able to
reduce my body voltage to anywhere from 8 to 2 millivolts.

After sleep with the Barefoot pad, plugged into the wall with their
adapter, I felt weak in the chest. As time went on, I felt worse, had
stinging shocks in my toes, etc.
Using it on my couch I felt even more energy crawling on my face.

The upshot is I don't feel better when I use a grounding cord.

Maybe there is a better way to filter the energy coming from the ground
but until that happens, I am not going to touch grounding cords
directly any more.

I am going to continue working on my wiring and replacing it with Metal
Clad wire where necessary.

Doesn't the bird on the wire analogy work here? The bird is ok because
it is not grounded but if it were to touch the ground while also
touching the wire it would be fried.

Maybe the experts can enlighten me on this.

This is my experience.

Andrew
