If
you have unresolved health issues, this article just might be worth your time.
I am celebrating over a dozen days of relief from health issues spanning over a
dozen years. Perhaps my story could become yours.
My neck issues began in
2001 with pain radiating down my right arm that finally resulted in surgery for
C6-C7 radiculopathy. Residual effects included loss of hand and neck function. I
have suffered with almost unrelenting neck pain since a C5-C6 discectomy two
years ago. Not much has helped. On the day that my prayer partner boldly asked God to
relieve the pain now,
I awoke unable to sleep during the night, as usual. I remember thinking that
God wasn't ready to answer that bold prayer with “yes” yet, but He was actually
using my routine. My MO had been to get on Facebook during these wakeful times
and try to distract myself enough to go back to sleep. If you cannot get bored
on FB in the middle of the night, you might as well get up and do laundry. On
this night, God led me to this video on something called “earthing” posted by Dr.
Mercola: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/10/19/grounded-documentary.aspx
I
had nothing better to do, so I watched it. I checked out
the website (www.goearthing.com) and discovered that the least
expensive device cost about the same as two chiropractic treatments. Since earthing
was grounded (pun intended) in science, had no side effects, had helped many
people, and was relatively affordable, I decided to try it. I didn't have
anything to lose except the cost of two chiropractic visits. If all it did
was save me two visits, I would recover my investment.
My
device arrived a week later. The instructions were very easy to follow (good
tech writing). I checked my outlets with the tester, grounded my pad to the
electrical outlet next to my bed, and put the pad at the foot of my bed where
my feet could rest on it as I slept. I woke up pain free the next
morning after a full night’s sleep. More to my amazement, I had full rotation of my head and
my head felt seated right for the first time since my surgery, something that
neither physical therapy nor chiropractic treatments had been able to
achieve.
My health improves daily. No chiropractic visits are on my calendar. My eyes sparkle back at me from my
reflection in the mirror. I can work at my computer for several hours
without experiencing the debilitating pain that it brought on before. My mom would be pleased to know that I am standing up straight for the first time in my life, with no conscious effort and without her constant reminders to do so. And sleep. Sleeping all night is wonderful.
Among the things I've learned about earthing is that women experience relief with grounding and want to tell the world about it... men have to know how it works. This is ironic to me because most men swallow a prescribed pill with no thought of exactly how it works and little curiosity about potential side effects. But, guys, here is the theory.
Basically, God made the earth to be a huge reservoir of negative ions. His design was intentional, no surprise, because living things need those electrons to maintain healthy homeostasis. Most of our health issues involve underlying inflammation and are accompanied by/caused by free radicals (positively charged particles) in our bodies. Our technology has conspired to insulate us from the earth, so we no longer have access to this natural remedy, e.g.) we wear molded soles, build houses and offices above ground, drive cars, pave walkways. Most people can't spend a lot of time walking barefoot, which works well. But, you can ground yourself indoors using one of the devices invented by the man who discovered this phenomenon (sold at www.goearthing.com
or via Amazon.com). A conductive device is connected to the ground socket of
a properly wired electrical outlet, and you make contact, usually by placing
your feet on the device. On average, grounding has to continue for at least 40
minutes before results can be measured or felt. The constant flow of electrons
over time is needed since this remedy, like most, is dose dependent. I use my
pad all night; what therapy are you going to find that you can do in your sleep
without needing to set aside time or schedule an appointment? Chalk
another one up to God's genius.
You
can go to the company website and read 50 pages of their book Earthing free, or it
comes with the purchase of any device. The book (co-written by the
inventor, a cardiologist, and a medical writer) cites double-blind studies;
before and after thermal imaging showing increased blood flow and decreased
inflammation; even a study showing normalized negative charge on red cells,
decreasing blood viscosity and resulting in faster blood flow; as well as many
case histories. A video on the website tells how Tour de France bicyclists are among the
athletes who use grounding to treat sore muscles and injuries.
What
is most remarkable about this treatment is that it doesn’t require that you
have an accurate diagnosis. It is almost universal in its application because
it takes advantage of the body’s matrix of electrical conductivity. The
electrons get used where they are needed. 97% of those who were given a
grounding device kept it. That's higher than the efficacy of most
pharmaceutical clinical trials which gain FDA approval. I was particularly
taken with multiple observations that wild rescue animals instinctively seek
out these grounding pads, even when hidden under straw or bedding.
I
would encourage you to check this out for yourself. God's design continues to
leave me in awe, as does His often miraculous answer to prayer.
Blessings
