Connect Yourself to Mother Earth
As a pioneer in the U.S. cable TV industry, Clint Ober was intimately familiar with the role of grounding to protect the integrity and clarity of transmissions. He knew the problem that electromagnetic fields could cause. To prevent signals from escaping and picture-distorting noise from penetrating, cable systems had to be shielded and then groundedâconnected to the earthâto prevent interference.
After his retirement, Ober began to wonder if there was any need for humans, like all electrical systemsâincluding cable TVâto be grounded in order to function effectively. He had become aware that most humans wear shoes with plastic or rubber soles that insulated them from the earthâs natural electrical field, the same field that provides the stable ground for electrical systems. He wondered if human health could be affected in some way by this separation. Plastic and rubber cannot conduct electrical energy. Humans evolved barefoot, he thought. They walked barefoot, or used hides (leather) on their feet, permitting conduction of earthâs surface energy into their bodies. They slept on the earth, or on hides. It would be likely that nature would âhave used that electrical resource in some way,â he thought.
Oberâs curiosity motivated him to explore whether we somehow needed the connection to our mother earth in order to be healthy. He started grounding himself and checking his own electrical energy with a simple voltmeter at various spots in his house. He noted how his body voltage changedâhigh when exposed to EMFs, at his computer, and in his bedroom, but at practically zero voltage when he grounded himself by holding a wire connected to a ground rod placed in the earth outside. He then devised a crude conducting grid that he placed on his bed, dropped a grounding wire attached to it out the window, and secured it to the earth via the outside rod. He lay down, voltmeter in hand, and fell asleep! He was in the same position when he woke up the next morning, the voltmeter still on his chest. He had had his first sound sleep in years and hadnât needed to resort to painkillers, which was often the only way he could fall asleep. He repeated his experiment and within a week or so noticed that the pain and stiffness from previous skiing injuries and back surgery were gone.
Astonished, Ober tried the same experiment on friends who had sleep and pain problems. They had the same positive experience. Ober then set out to find doctors and researchers who knew something or could explain what he had found. Nobody was interested. Nobody knew anything. So he decided to use his own funds to find the answers. Was it for real? How did it work for people?
Itâs now been more than ten years since he began pursuing scientific validation, first on his own and then with established researchers. Heâs still at it. The evidence uncovered to date is extraordinary. Personal grounding, or Earthing as he calls it, promotes better sleep, more energy, quicker healing, and reduced inflammation and pain, and normalizes production of the stress hormone cortisol.
