Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever? [Paperback]

When I read the reviews for this book I got totally excited thinking "this is it, this is the missing link I have been searching for", and trawled the internet for web sites about this obvious but forgotton in the mists of civilization, truth. I remembered that I used to walk barefoot from March to October on all surfaces as a child through to young adult, when I thought maybe I shouldn't be doing it anymore. It just makes such utter sense to me, that we have removed ourselves from connecting with the earth. I don't know of any creature who wears shoes apart from us. Anyway I bought an earthing sheet before reading the book as I was so totally convinced that this was the solution to my insomnia. The earthing sheet is very expensive for someone like me living on a shoestring, but I stuck it on the credit card much to my trepidation, and it arrived the very next day. Also I started walking barefoot again when I took the dogs out along the footpaths every afternoon. Only problem is I have anxiety, and I did read that anxiety can hinder the beneficial effects of the earthing process. However I kept my faith, and gradually noticed over the first week an improvement in my sleep, which used to be horrendous as every night I went to bed dreading the anxiety and lying there for literally hours before dropping off. I also noticed very subtle things shifting too. The anxiety reduced and I no longer wake with a jolt just after dropping off. I found that I felt more peaceful, which was surprising as I didn't think I was tense all the time. Very oddly I feel at ease with my fellow man, and feel compassion and liking and a definite want to get to know people more deeply. As I said, all very odd! Now four weeks on of using the earthing sheet, and walking barefoot in the fields most days I feel it was the best purchase of my life as far as my health goes. All the supplements and therapies have not helped with my anxiety and eating disorder, but this little sheet connecting me with the earth, plus the barefooting have done so much for me. What a simple thing connecting with the earth, but it took reading the reviews and the light bulb moment for me to start crawling out of my pit, so to speak. Buy the book, buy the earthing sheet, and you will progress to the earthing mat which I bought two days ago. Oh my credit card!! Plus walk barefoot, and I promise you will take your shoes off at the every opportunity. If you don't want to walk, just sit in the garden feet firmly planted on the grass. You will feel the benefits; guaranteed. My apologies for this long review, but if you are still with me you will understand my enthusiasm and passion for this simple but so obvious solution to modern life.

I purchased the book and read it through with great interest. Then I scanned all the reviews and satisfied myself that there must be a certain amount of truth in what the author has written. I decided to buy a grounding sheet, which had to be mains connection as I live in a block of flats.

Roughly 12 years ago I had a lung operation which led to bronchitis and shortness of breath. There were times when speaking, my voice would falter and I would make excuses telling people that I had a slight cold. After using the grounding sheet for one week, nothing altered only that I had one good nights sleep. After the first two days of the second week, things began to change radically. I noticed a marked improvement in my breathing - and my chest became very clear. Added to that, my energy levels soared and during the day I felt no trace of tiredness as I used to previously. I am now coming up to one month of using the grounding sheet and I can honestly say it is the best investment I have ever made.
There is much talk scientifically about this connection to Earth but my view is more of a spiritual one (doctors dress the wound -- God heals.
I believe that the energy within us is one and the same energy that is also around us and in the planet Earth. By going back to nature with this connection, we are going back to our origin and who we really are. The whole thing, the whole concept of this natural healing process is unbelievably beautiful and I convey my many thanks to the author for making people aware of this wonderful method.

This is the most life changing book you will ever read. Usually these types of books are, or end up. promoting some kind of expensive treatment or product. However the main author was not a health provider but a retired TV cable man who applied his own knowledge of screening out TV interference to his own health problem and found the right answer. It has taken him many years to get this accepted by medical professionals, but the groundswell is now under-way. No large financial outlay is required to benefit yourself. I'm a retired TV technician myself and have applied this technique to my own health problems and those of my wife, with great results. If you have almost any health issues you will benefit from applying Clinton Ober's earthing techniques. I highly recommend this book for your own health sake.
