Partially SupportedGrounding for 15-20 minutes can help reset the circadian rhythm, particularly when traveling.

Partially SupportedThroughout Earth's history, all life was naturally grounded through contact with the Earth, absorbing free electrons and equalizing electrical potential.

Partially SupportedGrounding the body to the Earth rapidly equalizes free electrons, restoring the body to its natural state and preventing inflammation.

Partially SupportedChronic inflammation is the underlying cause of many modern health disorders.

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

Partially SupportedGrounding can be done by swimming in the ocean, touching the Earth, or using a grounding mat plugged into a grounded outlet.

Partially SupportedGrounding can lead to immediate improvements in pain, inflammation, demeanor, circulation, and skin color.

Partially SupportedFor severely compromised health, such as active autoimmune disorders, staying on a grounding pad until recovery is recommended.

Partially SupportedGrounding, by connecting to the Earth, normalizes and stabilizes the electrical function in the immune system.

Partially SupportedTouching the Earth at different times of the day may be as important as viewing sunlight at different times of the day for setting the body's circadian rhythm.

Partially SupportedGrounding may normalize physiology by altering the body's electrochemical environment and improving red blood cell zeta potential.

Partially SupportedSleeping on a grounding mat connected to a grounded outlet can help synchronize circadian rhythms and aid with jet lag.

Partially SupportedDesiccated organ supplements provide unique nutrients, cofactors, vitamins, and minerals that are beneficial for humans.

Partially SupportedInsufficient electrons in red blood cells can cause them to stick together, forming rouleaux.

Partially SupportedOxidation is the transfer of electrons from one molecule to another, where the oxidant gains electrons and the reductant loses electrons.

Partially SupportedPrior to 1950-1960, humans were naturally electrically connected to the Earth.

Partially SupportedThe Heart & Soil 'Histamine and Immune' supplement contains diamine oxidase (DAO), which aids in histamine sensitivity.

Partially SupportedEarthing can be achieved by sleeping on the ground, camping, or putting feet on the earth.

Partially SupportedGrounding mats with a carbon net are durable, affordable, and 100% conductive.

Partially SupportedModern diseases such as diabetes, lupus, MS, fibromyalgia, and cardiovascular diseases are linked to inflammation, which may have been exacerbated by wearing shoes and losing connection to the earth.

Partially SupportedClint Ober felt a moral imperative to help people eat more organs.

Partially SupportedChi meridians in acupuncture may represent conductive pathways in the body, with collagen being more conductive due to its negative charge.

Partially SupportedGrounding involves the electrical movement of charges and can be measured with a voltmeter.

Partially SupportedA 100% cotton sheet does not significantly impede conductivity over a grounding mat.

Partially SupportedRemoving stress, specifically the lack of redox potential to reduce excess radicals from oxidative bursts, is key for the body's self-healing mechanism.

Partially SupportedA person's hair standing on end during a thunderstorm at high altitude indicates a gathering of electrical charge in the body.

Partially SupportedGrounding electrical devices reduces noise, prevents fire, and maintains electrical stability.

Partially SupportedWhen not grounded and wearing shoes, the voltage at the top of a person's head can increase to 150-300 volts relative to the Earth.

Partially SupportedGrounding may affect the immune system and inflammation.

Partially SupportedGrounding is an electrical process that occurs at the speed of light.

Partially SupportedModern lifestyles including plastics, indoor living, and increased screen time have led to a disconnection from the Earth's electrical connection.

Partially SupportedConstant contact with the Earth, a practice common in human evolution, may have negative health consequences when lost.

Partially SupportedNeutrophils sense pathogens by detecting their energy and then engulf them, releasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can rip electrons away from the pathogen.

Partially SupportedGrounding mats may help women, especially those with autoimmune disorders, improve health, sleep, and well-being.

Partially SupportedMost people who are struck by lightning do not die from it; deaths are more common among those insulated from the earth.

Partially SupportedIndividuals with conditions not fully resolved by dietary changes may benefit from grounding mats or direct contact with the earth.

Partially SupportedThe Earth has diurnal variations in its electrical potential.

Partially SupportedAntioxidants, including multivitamins, have largely failed in medical literature to reverse chronic health conditions or prevent illness.

Partially SupportedInflammation is a necessary precursor for cancer development.

Partially SupportedCells use electrical potential differences across their membranes for repolarization to facilitate nutrient and waste transport.

Partially SupportedEvery cell in the human body is electrical, and this electrical nature is fundamental to its function.

Partially SupportedThe human body is a conductive, carbon-based electrical entity.

Partially SupportedInflammation involves immune cells sending signals via cytokines.

Partially SupportedWhen the immune system oxidizes a pathogen, residual oxidative radicals can damage healthy cells.

Partially SupportedHumans have always been grounded to the earth, similar to how they have never eaten seed oils.

Partially SupportedThe body is a self-healing mechanism that requires the removal of stresses, such as lack of grounding, to function optimally.

Partially SupportedIn a survival situation where one fears being struck by lightning, it is recommended to stay in an open field and touch the Earth, rather than being insulated from it by shoes.

Partially SupportedHistorically, humans were almost always grounded due to ancestral diets and lifestyles, which is linked to significant benefits for the immune system and inflammation.

Partially SupportedThe human body can accumulate environmental charges from clothing and the electrical environment, unlike in nature where bodies were historically grounded.

Partially SupportedRestoring health returns the body to its natural state, and if health is absent, it indicates an interference with the immune system's ability to maintain health.

Partially SupportedStanding barefoot on moist concrete allows for grounding because concrete is conductive and contains moisture.

Partially SupportedHealth is a natural state and a birthright.

Partially SupportedGrounding while looking at the sun in the morning may be exponentially better than just looking at the sun.

Partially SupportedFor someone who is sick, the dose of grounding could be as much as possible, including sleeping and working on grounding mats.

Partially SupportedInflammation and degenerative oxidative stress are caused by free radicals that steal electrons from healthy cells.

Partially SupportedGrounding may prevent cytokine storms implicated in COVID-19 and autism.

Partially SupportedCancer cannot exist in animals without inflammation, as inflammation is required for cancer cells to manifest and grow.

Partially SupportedPhysiological processes improve when humans connect to the Earth (grounding).

Partially SupportedGrounding has been used with Tour de France athletes for wound healing.

Not SupportedRunning long distances, particularly up mountains, may not be optimal for long-term hormonal health in humans.
