Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever!

Before you read this book allow yourself to contemplate the question,"which species do not have permanent or regular conductive contact with ground?" Then permit yourself to contemplate the conditions that prevailed in proximity to the very origins of life itself. Evolutionary biologists cannot pin down the origins of life precisely, but they do converge in general towards likelihood that early life, or the establishment of the kind of chemistry and chemicals that could be built in to life, began somewhere in proximity to deep ocean vents. The primordial soup in which life was conceived was a) conductive, b) and electrolyte, and c) had an established electrical contact with 'ground'. Put these two considerations together and you'll get as close as you are able to confirmation that grounding is an essential requisite for life. Humans need opportunities to ground out with the same basic and primal need that we need water to drink and air to breath. Biology and human physiology is not just about biochemistry - it is about bio-electrics as well. All life, including us, is built around chemistry that can trade proton gradients. Ober, Sinatra, and Zucker have written a most charming book about something that is so fundamental it requires medical textbooks and medical methodology to be rewritten. Something this fundamental and this insightful is bound to be received with mixed reactions. Take your lead from history and accounts of reactions to truly ground breaking advances in knowledge. When a major new paradigm does emerge that is far closer to objective reality than that which preceded it the levels of opposition from people invested in the outmoded paradigm are astounding and embarrassing. We're supposed to be the intelligent ape after all. 'Earthing' is the thesis of our time that's shows just how easy it is for the human kind to overlook the simplest but most important of things right there before him. Ok, hard evidence is scant. But soft evidence and plural anecdotal reports are plentiful.Best of all though, Ober began with intuition and applied good sound reasoning and curiosity to develop one of the most important theses since Einstein and Relativity. the evening after reading this book I rigged some copper wire, a croc clip, and a regular 3-pin plug to effect a trial (Don't try this at home folks unless you know exactly what you're doing). Overnight it halved the pain threshold on a persistent elbow injury. It did something to the quality of my sleep, and it did something for my wakefulness and energy levels despite never getting enough sleep and rising at 3am. Do not underestimate the importance of this thesis.

I don’t often take the time to write reviews but for this book I simply have to rave about it. For two weeks now I have been sleeping and working earthed. I’ve even been digging and planting barefoot in the garden! Never did that before, was quite surprised at how nice the soil felt under my feet! I have noticed that chronic health problems are subsiding, I am sleeping much better, and I am feeling more centred inside of myself for the first time in many years, probably over a decade or longer. I’ve been able to trace many of my health crises over the years to times when they increased the electro-magnetic pollution on the earth. For example when they rolled out WiFi on a large scale etc. Maybe I am “sensitive” but my word it is an earth shattering revelation to be able to join the dots and see that often when we get sick it’s from environmental pollution, such as heavy metals and electro-magnetic pollution, usually outside of our control. I also read another incredible book “The invisible rainbow” by Arthur Firstenburg while on holiday recently which really opened my mind to the damaging effects of electro-magnetic pollution in our bodies. Firstenburg exposes the problem and Ober and his team offer a solution. This book covers Ober’s history and how he discovered earthing, some studies they carried out, and lots of anecdotal evidence on the benefits of earthing. It gives a good, all round view of what it is, how it came about and it’s benefits. I recommend for everyone to investigate earthing and to start practicing it, whether sensitive or not. A big thanks to Clint Ober and his crew for their tireless work in investigating and sharing this crucial information around the world. I write this in 2020 when we are on the doorstep of the 5G rollout. I predict the demand/need for earthing will grow. Good luck on your health journey and I hope earthing benefits you as much as it is benefiting me.

This book should be on everyone's shelf. Simple. I am a Personal Trainer, interested in EVERYTHING for health and will keep an open mind as to any recent scientific or alternative therapies, nutrition or research I come across. As soon as I saw this book on Amazon I ordered it - just based on the subject matter - because after 14 years in this business I am realising that our health and homeostatis is compromised, primarily by our remarkable ability as a species to remove ourselves further and further from nature. Nutrition is the field I see this in most, but THIS book and the contents therein, take us right back there, to basics, to reconnect with the earth (from which we have evolved for millions of years), in the most fundamental way possible and for what's more, for FREE! Now if I were to tell you what the book advocates you'd maybe think, I was right 'out there' and (as my daughter, 15 just called me) 'a hippy', (I have never owned a microwave, and I love minimalist shoes, shock horror!), but the authors have consolidated their research with such scientific and meticulously researched and authenticated hard facts I struggled in places to understand it all (but, reassuringly, on the parts I too am very au fait with, they got SPOT ON). I am anxious to contact all my clients past and present, who ever presented to me with any auto-immune illnesses (and the rest!), to advise them strongly to purchase this book and follow what is advocated. I feel that strongly about it. Highly recommended. Back of to the garden to sit in the sun bare feet in the grass. Bliss.

This is an excellent book that anyone with ongoing health problems will benefit from reading. Clint Ober was a cable TV installer who left school in his early teens and went on to discover Earthing and invent the technology that exploits it. After over ten years of research, he has collaborated with medics and scientists to produce this important work. The theory behind Earthing is that inflammatory (and other) conditions have reached epidemic proportions in the last 50 years - since we've insulated outselves from the Earth's energy. We no longer walk or sleep on the ground, and most of us are carrying at least 3.5 volts of electricity in our bodies just from background EMFs and wiring. By reconnecting, we not only disperse this harmful charge into the earth, but allow Earth's electrons to have a protective and healing effect on our bodies. These electrons bind with harmful free radicals to neutralise inflammation, unclot blood and even regulate blood pressure. Sounds to good to be true? Then you need to read it! You'll be convinced.

I had read various articles about this subject on line ; and thought to buy a book and dig deeper. This makes a huge amount of sense. When walking around on the grass outside, I do so barefoot and I definitely feel more energy and sleep better. The problem is that I live in Finland and walking barefoot in the summer means the risk of ticks and Lyme Disease and in the winter no-one much walks around barefoot when the temperature is below zero ! So I swim and have earthed various bits of furniture to the central heating system and this seems to help with energy levels @ this time of year when it is dark for 20 hours a day ! I was expecting a lot of New Age psycho-babble but was delighted to find th@ the book's thesis is based on common sense. The human body is an electrical system ( who would deny that ? ) and when an electrical system is earthed, it can collect a charge from the earth. Simple. I haven't given this 5 stars because it doesn't tackle the issues of Lyme Disease ( it needs a chapter on this as the problem is growing exponentially throughout the world ) and suggestions about earthing in the cold would be appreciated. Maybe I demand too much ! Strongly recommended nonetheless.

An interesting account of how the benefits of grounding were discovered, written by three men who discovered and developed grounding. Contains a list of benefits, how to incorporate earthing into your daily life and many testimonies of people whose health has improved as a result of earthing.

Many doctors will dismiss the concept of earthing as quackery. That stance dismisses their credibility as practitioners of the Hippocratic oath. This book is well written, and contains much anecdotal evidence in support of earthing. I normally regard such evidence as boasting, but not here, as it supports so clearly the case presented. The author is clearly on a mission, but that simply bears witness to his excitement about his discovery. I am an engineer, and as such somewhat a cynic. I demand proof or reasoned argument before accepting ideas, but am always open to evidence from whence it comes. I understood and accepted the principles asserted in the book, and accepted the possibility that it might indeed work. Having now practised earthing for a few nights my sleep pattern has improved, and the pain and numbness of my peripheral neuropathy (a consequence of mild diabetes) seems to have eased. I feel better in myself; no doubt consequential of my improved sleep. Earthing may seem radical to conventional science, but there again, conventional science told us that the world was flat, and the sun moved around the earth. Earthing works. It's free. Your only investment need be this book. I commend it to you.

A brilliant book full of top information quite outstripping anything I have seen or heard of elsewhere. I rubber stamp its technical content from my own experience over many years of studying energy. It relates to the latest current thinking within the medical field and links the two sciences of electronic engineering and medical practices together by consideration of the way we, as human animals, have evolved. What is more what it discusses and suggests works as I have found out to my benefit in improved sleep, health and well-being. I would recommend it most sincerely as worthy of the most serious consideration.
