Grounding & Inflammation:

In conversation with Jim Oshmann, PhD one of our Energy Medicine University

Professor’s  regarding his theory about inflammation and grounding he offered this paper attached. Dr Oschman conducted the research and the “Earthing” technology products.

Summary of paper:

There are profoundly therapeutic effects from restoring and maintaining, as much as is practical, a natural electrical contact between the body and the earth.   

Loss of direct contact with the earth appears to introduce another kind of adaptive stress, an “electron deficiency,” which compromises the immune system by slowing the resolution of inflammatory responses.

Contact with the earth can influence cortisol rhythms. The results summarized here show another influence of earth contact: providing free (mobile) electrons. This has significance for a wide range of therapeutic modalities that introduce electricity into the body, or that may cause electrons to move about within the body. It is possible that the benefits of many bodywork, energetic and movement therapies, as well as of various energy medicine devices, are partly due to their ability to enable mobile electrons to penetrate into the inflammatory pockets where they neutralize the free radicals that contribute to so many different chronic diseases.

How Grounding Thins Your Blood Except from article on Mercola.com

Dr. Sinatra has been coaching a team led by Dr. Oschman [VIDEO] in how to measure blood viscosity using a method called zeta potential. It measures the potential on your red blood cells by determining how fast they migrate in an electrical field. It turns out that when you ground to the earth, the zeta potential of your red blood cells quickly rises, which means your red blood cells have more charge on their surface, which forces them apart from each other.

This action causes your blood to thin and flow easier. It also causes your blood pressure to drop.

Another obvious implication of ! this is that by repelling each other, your red blood cells are less inclined to stick together and form a clot. Blood clots don't have to be very big to form like a pulmonary embolus that would kill you instantly, so this is a significant benefit. Additionally, if your red blood cell's zeta potential is high, which grounding can facilitate, you not only decrease your heart disease risk but also your risk of multi-infarct dementias, where you start losing brain tissue due to micro-clotting in your brain.

Published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine,6 a recent study into grounding's effect on blood viscosity found that two hours of grounding increased the surface charge on red blood cells, thereby reducing blood viscosity and clumping. (The full article7 can be viewed for free here.) According to the authors:

"Grounding appears to be one of the simplest and yet most profound interventions for helping reduce cardiovascular risk and cardiovascular events."
