EARTHING
EARTHING:: The Most
Important Health Discovery Ever?
Clinton Ober, Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., Martin Zucker

What is Earthing?
Earthing, or grounding as it is often called, simply
means connecting to the Earth’s natural, negative surface charge by being barefoot outside or in bare skin
contact with conductive systems indoors while you
sleep, relax, or work.
A simple concept, yes. But one with profound impact
on the physiology.
Connection with the Earth restores a lost electrical signal to the body that seems to stabilize the complicated
circuitry of our essentially-electrical body. Our built-in
self-regulating and self-healing mechanisms become
more effective. There are head-to-toe improvements.
Better blood flow. Less pain and inflammation. More
energy. Deeper sleep.
For many people the effect is dramatic, like charging a
failing battery. For others, the effect is gradual and
subtle.
The research indicates that Earthing transfers negatively charged free electrons into the body that are present
in a virtually limitless and continuously renewed supply
on the surface of the Earth. The existence of this unseen electron “reservoir” has been established by science. Maintaining contact with the ground allows your
body to naturally receive and become charged with
these electrons. When thus “grounded,” any electron
deficiencies and free radical excesses in the body are
corrected. A natural electrical state is restored.

Why is this so important?
Electrons are the “object of affection,” so to speak, of
positively charged free radicals, the biochemical agents
that cause oxidation in the body. Electrons are the
source of antioxidant power. We believe this influx of
electrons from the ground serves to potently neutralize
or quench free radicals that would otherwise steal elecNov/ ???????%????QA?????()??????????????????????????????????????????)??????????????????????????????????????????????)??????????????????????)!???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????()???????????????????????)%?e????????????????????????????????????????????)??????9????????????????????9????????????????)??????????????????9??????????????????????)5???????????????????()]??????????????????)???????e???????????)???????????)???????????????????????????????????????????)???????????Q??????????????????????????????????????????????L???????????????????????L???????)?????????????????????????????????????????)???????????????) ??????????????????????????????]????????)????????????????e???????????????????????()]???e????????????)5?????????????????????????????????????)5????????e??????????????????????????????????????????%?????????????????????????)?????????????????????????????????????????)????????????????????????]????????????????)?????????????????]??????e???????????)??????????????????)Q???????????????????????????9????????????)??????????????????????????????????????????((
