Grounding the body to earth reduces chronic inflammation

To demonstrate the effects of restoring the natural direct current and electric field of the earth to the surface of the body, individuals with long-term chronic inflammation were grounded to earth. Two methods of grounding the body are presented below.

Grounding methodology #1: A conductive patch (photo #1) is placed on the body near site of chronic inflammation. The patch is connected via a fuse-protected conductive wire attached to a ground rod placed directly in the earth (photo #2). (Examples below show typical results.)

Chronic inflammation and free radicals

The normal inflammatory response is, in part, a burst of free radicals produced by the immune system in response to an injury. This natural production of free radicals occurs to prevent infection and to promote healing at a site of injury.

In simple terms, a free radical is an electrically charged particle. This electrical charge occurs because the free radical is missing an electron. To become stabilized, a free radical must “steal” its missing electron from another molecule. When the electron is stolen from an invader (e.g., bacteria), the invader’s molecular structure is damaged, which leads to its death (as intended by the immune system). When there are no invaders left to destroy and when there is a lack of electrons available from antioxidants to stabilize excess free radicals, free radicals then turn to the only other source from which they can steal electrons – healthy cells. The resulting damage to and death of healthy cells, from loss of electrons to free radicals, further signals the immune system for additional help. This sets up a continuous autoimmune response (creating more free radicals), which promotes chronic inflammation and tissue damage, commonly referred to as oxidative stress.

Electrical pollution is a major cause of health problems in the modern world.  Electrical pollution, invisible, silent, odorless, tasteless, is the perfect pollutant, as we have not evolved any methods of sensing its presence.  A few people, like me, have become "electrically sensitive" and are able to know when we are being exposed due to the symptoms that we experience.  Most people, even when exposed to levels and wave lengths that are literally killing them, never notice a thing.

Everyone living in areas of the world with electricity is being negatively affected.  It is only a question of degree.  (Dr. Neil Cherry, Evidence That Electromagnetic Radiation Is Genotoxic: the implications for the epidemiology of cancer and cardiac, neurological and reproductive effects.  His presentation to New Zealand Parliament in May 2000, European Parliament in June, 2000.  Look for link at www.electricalpollution.com Monumental.)
