Earthing (Grounding) the Human Body Reduces Blood Viscosity—a Major Factor in Cardiovascular Disease - Red Blood Cell Zeta Potential Increased by Factor 2.7!
Earthing (Grounding) the Human Body Reduces Blood Viscosity—a Major Factor in Cardiovascular Disease - Red Blood Cell Zeta Potential Increased by Factor 2.7!
Am I missing something here? How can Birkenstocks, which have a rubber soul (an insulator), allow "grounding"? And isn't cork an insulator, too? How can any "grounding" occur through insulators?
Rubber and cork are both insulators against electric current thus they would not allow the earths electrons to go through. I say this as a lover of Birkenstocks since the 80’s.
You know there are recent videos of her too, you don't have to see her in person. She graduated med school in 1999 and is 50 according to basic lookups.
It cannot - as far as I am aware. The best way to dissipate excess electrical charge in our body is by standing on a sheet of aluminum foil, believe it or not.
So all along we should have been wearing our “tin foil” hats on our feet? ;-/ . Wearing Berks are wonderful for your posture and support of your knee, hip and spine. have been wearing them for years after two botched knee “interventions”. Still have the original factory parts though. The one thing I will say is that they make conventional shoes near impossible to wear ever again. As the foot is aligned to a natural position, spread and body weight. Never saw them as a grounding option. But glad that they are working for Dr. Ana & staff.
Dr. Ana's staff does not wear them. They see me wearing them. I wear a black on the left and a white on the right. A cleaning lady one day (not at Dr.Ana's), Mongol face/retarded looked at my white/black shoes, looked at my face, shook her head "no" a bit. That made my day. I wear the opposites for diversity, being a ~White Supremacist.
Yes ha! Tinfoil slippers. I heard you on conventional shoes. I went shopping for sneakers the other day, and they were all flat-footed. "Rewilding" our feet is necessary in today's age of decrepitude. Have you ever tried infrared sauna therapy for your knee?
Not to high jack the topic of this post but purchased a hand held cold red light laser for our pup that had two very bad “vestibular” episodes, leaving the back legs weak and shaking. As an aside , In all my years of pet owner ship have I ever seen so many dogs with this condition. It has worked wonders. It also works on my knee, helping to heal the scaring from the two meniscus tears and surgeries.
was obsessed w the color red and light and the sun 4 some reason- a device probably works but weird i feel somehow can this come naturally from the sun?
Aluminum shorts out any charge, when we stand on it barefoot, it takes away built up EMF in the form of positive ions. Dave Stetzer of Stetzer electric does this, and is a IEEE electrician with over 30 yrs experience. Does that help clarify?
They use natural latex rubber soles and so as long as you get the leather and do not get the synthetic liner, I see many places online talking about how they Do ground people due to the natural cork and suede and latex.
I think it is just vulkanized rubber that doesnt allow electric charge to pass.
It should be relatively easy to test though.... like do vaxxed people emit MAC IDs when they are wearing Birkenstocks? Or just get a multimeter.
Thanks Wolf: I have worn only Birkenstocks for over 40 years (I'm 90). I do wear socks below 32F. I visit Dr. Ana in Yelm, WA every 2-3 weeks, and have asked her RN and others. Next time I speak w/Dr. Ana I will ask her. I may take the time to phone Birkenstock warehouse in Novato, CA. There is a GR8 repair shop in Chicago called Michaelangelos. He fitted Birkenstock's for me with no metal buckles to pass the 911 hoaxsters at the airports. 88&8's,Dave
I was born in Paris, the city of light of spit and dog droppings, and when I was very young I left this city for the Black Forest in Germany. Since then I have only walked barefoot in summer and winter, except to do my shopping or sometimes visit friends. In the meantime I live in Canada and nothing has changed even in Canada where I have lived for 26 years. I'm 74. Doctor? Don't know. No jab, no test, no...the rest. An apple a day keeps the doctor away...as long as you aim well. For the rest God (the true one) will decide.
Wow, thank you for sharing this! This does make a lot of sense. We have done a lot to eliminate EMF’s in our home but at the same time, I have been doing grounding for the past year. I will now take a break and see if I don’t feel the difference.
I just got my grounding mat delivered today from the Grounding Well. Another friend on this site recommended it. Surprisingly, it was not that expensive. I am trying it now, and it DOES make your feet tingle! I live in an area where it gets cold so there will be no going outside barefooted in the winter!
You can see the effects of the mat for yourself. Here is a 2 minute tutorial showing with a voltage meter the body's voltage before the mat and then after placing a hand on the mat. It goes directly to zero.
Kim, thanks for the link. FYI body voltage is not a dependable measurement, as voltage only measures electrical potential, whereas current measures what is actually going through you. Does that make sense?
Well, kind of. Lol But you are talking to someone who knows next to nothing about electricity. It is is ironic too because my son is an electrical engineer. You can bet that he did not get his aptitude from me! I mean, I am the one who thinks an "ohm" is a word people say when they're meditating! (JK. I don't really think that. I was just making a joke.)
So, then how does one measure the current and test the effectiveness of the grounding mat?
(And btw, I still was pretty impressed with the tutorial measuring the voltage before and after the grounding mat. Something must have happened there for it to go to zero.)
Please don't tell me that standing on the grass, on a beach, or even on the dirt outside can harm us? Let's use the original definition of grounding (before people got greedy), and be precise with our words.
Traditionally, yes, grounding is ok. However no longer. If you get a chance, check out the article I linked above citing the testimony of Dave Stetzer.
Hmm, the Earth is waayyy bigger than all the ground rods we put in, and I trust the Earth more than any device or tech that is being recommended or sold. The Earth is very good in handling our pollution and crap- after all, it all comes from the Earth! Just may take some time, or you have to be in a good plot of land.
I hear you Mark - and used to think the same way...but the Earth is not a sponge, but the perfect conductor of electricity. Electrical fields can have long wavelengths, that can travel right through the Earth.
If your really that worried about it, you check for relative ground voltage using a volt meter. You shouldn't need to worry about it unless you live around LOTS of power.
Hi Anna Maria, Have you looked into any foreign items in Tattoo inks and in particular dyes used for Eyebrows, known as Microblading, Microshading, Permanent Makeup. Understand iron oxides may be in color. Thanks
One of the worst places for EMF radiation is a new car with Adaptive Cruise Control. My $450 EMF meter pegs out inside my car. A Jeanice Barcelo wrote a book on EMF years ago. Look her up. She's stated to drive an EMF free car, you must go back before 2006.
How do you ground a car? Even a chain/cable dragging on the pavement wouldn't work. I've seen pictures of lighting striking a car with people inside or electrical wires dropping on a car. Safest place is to stay inside the car with those mishaps.
I live in japan. my experience with grounding, which i normally do every morning before work, involves walking barefoot on the grass for about 15 mins and whenever I can I will be more subtle and grab hold of some grass, weed, bush, leaves while, say, I'm waiting for the bus. in the evening, I might go to park and workout barefoot too and during the day, I have a grounding sheet I rest my feet on under my office. The thing I notice is that at about the 1min mark I begin to experience what I gather to be bronchio-dilation. Does anyone else experience this subtle sort of 'rush'? I get a non-euphoric rush, as if my lungs are opening up. Anyways, it seems to make me feel a lot better doing it and is perhaps part of the reason why my auto-immune issue (narcolepsy) has improved, to the point that I'm taking 1/4 of the medication I was prior - https://file.scirp.org/Html/14-8203393_58836.htm
Internet says Birkenstocks are earthing shoes/grounding shoes, with soles made out of cork and natural latex allow a wearer to benefit from earthing while walking around in everyday life and apparently have been tested with voltage meters to prove they work. They said that cork is an effective grounding material. I have used Black Jacket moccasins, they are fun for short walks, are durable, and look nice. They are all leather.
she said u can also lay on the ground. great 2 see dr ana do her own thing. will read full article later. i feel vibrations everywhere though even laying on ground in park- not sure where they come from but am hypersensitive. also research infrasound which is what im attacked with- its bad.
We have an earthing mat and can definitely feel tingling or vibrations coming through into our bare feet. We also have earthing shoes to wear outside and you can buy them on Etsy.
the mat- for indoors that u plug in outlet. i heard indoor stuff shold not go into outlet but thru window into stake in ground??? im in a hostile apartment anyway. u feel tingling vibrations coming thru?
To clear up the issue of weather Birkenstocks footwear is suitable for Grounding/Earthing, I contacted the company's support department about that issue and this is a copy of their reply:
Thank you for reaching out to Birkenstock USA.
"Birkenstock footwear typically contains an EVA or rubber sole. Since these materials are considered insulators, they don't facilitate the flow of electrical charges. Due to this, they are not considered to be grounding or earthing.
Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Earthing.com is the sure fire place to get the right footwear and other very efficient accessories like foot mats, patches, blankets, arm and leg bands, etc. for Earthing inside the house or building using a special cable that plugs safely into the ground port of any ac outlet that is properly grounded including a outlet tester to make sure that is the case!!! The Earth provides!!!
the new street lamps that have the 5 g nodules on top act to create a ground charge that will destroy the grounding we have until now been able to get form being barefoot in the earth.
This is totally compelling. This means all of the quote unquote people we made fun of are the ones living correctly without there Nikes. We are the dummies. isn't this fascinating. We then have to look at our life top to bottom. That is something us modern folks can not imagine.
I love my EarthRunners.com and a lower-priced version are re-eartrunners.com. They do have a vibram sole but as close to a grounding shoe as you can get. I'd love to go barefoot but not with glass all over the place.

I think Dr. Ana is under 50.
I think she’s over
I see here in person about every 2-3 weeks, but she just pops into a waiting room and waves. When did you last see her?
You know there are recent videos of her too, you don't have to see her in person. She graduated med school in 1999 and is 50 according to basic lookups.

Not sure what you’re asking, but ditch the “sun screen” when you are out and about. PS the sun is not red.

Grounding can harm us - especially in North America, as the power grid is not wired correctly, which creates ground current EMF: https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/leukemia
Wow, thank you for sharing this! This does make a lot of sense. We have done a lot to eliminate EMF’s in our home but at the same time, I have been doing grounding for the past year. I will now take a break and see if I don’t feel the difference.
My EMF meter ($450) shows over half scale in Dr. Ana's patient rooms. In my home, it reads one green square i.e. almost ZERO.
Thanks Rebecca for sharing that. Do your feet feel tingly? How do you ground? Do you use an "earthing pad"?
I have been using a grounding mat and have earthing shoes to wear outside. Yes, while using the grounding mat, my feet feel very tingly.
I just got my grounding mat delivered today from the Grounding Well. Another friend on this site recommended it. Surprisingly, it was not that expensive.

Thanks for letting me know Toney! Were you grounding a lot before?
Not really. Just being a wiseass. Sorry. Actually, I had an intuitive resistance to the idea but never analyzed it.
If your really that worried about it, you check for relative ground voltage using a volt meter. You shouldn't need to worry about it unless you live around LOTS of power.

How do you ground a car? Even a chain/cable dragging on the pavement wouldn't work. I've seen pictures of lighting striking a car with people inside or electrical wires dropping on a car. Safest place is to stay inside the car with those mishaps.
You crush it up and bury it
Yes, crushing the car would be a solution, but then how would you drive it?
