I have been remiss…with lots of excuses! With the last article I wrote about earthing or grounding, I had learned about it less than a week before my Wednesday (at the latest!) deadline for publication on Friday. Hurriedly researching it for more information, I added some humor which I now realize made earthing sound less important than it is. Earthing is not a hippy thing where we go tiptoeing through the tulips barefoot. It is a scientifically researched fact that grounding has health benefits which we should not ignore. Grounding pads can be purchased to lessen the impact of the negative aspect of electricity on our bodies. We live in a veritable electrical soup. Electricity is so much a part of our lives that I believe our youth would be stymied without it. Yet it does have its dark side. During the Cold War years with Russia in the 1960’s, electromagnetic frequencies (EMF’s) were aimed at our embassy in Moscow 24/7. Two of our ambassadors developed leukemia. The young people who worked there for long periods of time had various health problems, including sterility. Ever since the invention of rubber and the making of rubber soled shoes, sneakers, etc., we have blocked free electrons from being absorbed into our bodies from the earth. Now, more than ever before, there are rising and unresolved health problems. For instance, inflammation. Doctors know it is one of the leading indicators of health problems. We take our turmeric and hope for the best. Is inflammation a jump start for other diseases? Think about some of the major diseases. Type 2 diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease are all linked to chronic inflammation. “Inflammation is now believed to be the underlying cause of more than eighty chronic illnesses…” Okay, so why do so many people have inflammation in their bodies? If the EMF’s to which we are constantly being exposed are not neutralized, the cells in our bodies become damaged resulting in inflammation. This is what the Earth’s free electrons do for us; they neutralize the EMF’s in our bodies. “The influx of electrons from Earthing reduces chronic inflammation.” When I lived near two cell phone towers in Bufkin, one within 300 feet of the house and the other less than a half mile away, both my Mother and I began to have strange health symptoms. Mother itched all the time. A friend told me, “Wear a ferrite bead to relieve those unusual shaking symptoms; ferrite absorbs EMF.” I bought an oblong ferrite bead, put it on a leather strap and began wearing it all the time. One morning I awoke to see an enlarged bright red patch underneath the smaller ferrite bead. It was swollen and hurt like a sunburn. The doctor said that there was nothing he could do. I still have a swollen place on my chest where the bead rested. Those cells were permanently damaged by electromagnetic frequencies. (Once my mother and I moved from that house, her itching symptoms stopped.) The beneficial aspects of grounding for cardiovascular health, pain relief, increased energy, better sleep habits and mental health are all documented. Sleeping grounded with an Earthing pad has changed numerous problematic nighttime patterns for those who adhere to earthing. Clinton Ober, Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D. and Martin Zucker wrote an award winning book now in its second edition entitled “Earthing”. Even as I sit here at the computer, my bare feet are resting on a grounding pad. Animals and plants luckily don’t wear rubber soled shoes! And I have to agree with our native American Secretary of the Interior, Deb Haaland, “The Earth holds so much power.” We are carbon based beings who are conductors of electricity ourselves. As are the stars.
[email protected] ©Ann Rains September, 2021 Postscript: My dear readers, There are so many projects that need to be completed that it has become difficult to write with regularity. These are important projects which in the past I could put aside. That is no longer possible. My writings will no longer be published on the 2nd and 4th Fridays. There may be a length of time before you hear from me again. But, I do still desire to write when possible. My sincere thanks to you for being faithful and making comments which imbued me with the desire to continue writing. . With thanks and appreciation, Ann
