✓Well SupportedGrounding can change the Zeta potential, an electrical charge on the outside of red blood cells, which may account for changes in blood viscosity.✓Well SupportedGrounding can reduce inflammation and pain, such as in arthritis, within 5 to 10 minutes.◐Partially SupportedThe Earth acts as a primal antioxidant because it is charged with free electrons, capable of receiving or giving electrons to the body as needed.◐Partially SupportedChronic inflammation is the underlying cause of many modern health disorders.◐Partially SupportedInsufficient electrons in red blood cells can cause them to stick together, forming rouleaux.

Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.

◐Partially SupportedThe presence of pain indicates inflammation in the body, as pain is a byproduct of inflammation.

◐Partially SupportedRouleaux formation does not exist in nature.

◐Partially SupportedRouleaux formation, or erythrocyte sedimentation rate, is a measure of inflammation.

◐Partially SupportedDark field microscopy can show changes in how red blood cells associate when an individual is grounded versus not grounded.

◐Partially SupportedInflammation was historically understood as a physical response like a broken ankle, characterized by swelling, pain, and heat.

◐Partially SupportedRed blood cells can clump together when lacking sufficient electrons, forming 'sticky blood'.

◐Partially SupportedRed blood cells repel each other due to increased negative charges on their surface (Zeta potential).

◐Partially SupportedReactive oxygen species are electrically charged particles capable of ripping electrons away from pathogens, thus destroying them.

◐Partially SupportedNeutrophils sense pathogen energy and release reactive oxygen species to destroy them.
