Absorbing free electrons from ground through feet

A bit of info for those into earthing.

I have been using a variety of methods related to earthing with benefits. First of all its said to run a wire to the earth then to the body, perhaps by something like an anti static wrist band, which I use actually. The concept is electrons flow from the earth to the body where they are taken in by the skin and into the body having an antioxidant effect, since thats what antioxidants do, they donate electrons. I have used a ground wire from earth to the body but I find this wire still carries the 60 hz oscillations, according to my meter. It seems anything that is metallic or conductive within the home will also resonate to the 60 hz magnetic field since your home is full of AC wiring and thats what emits the 60 hz magnetic field in the first place, it acts like a broadcasting antenna. With a good meter that can read hz you can test this yourself,,usually with only one wire of the meter touching the thing to be checked and the other wire connected to say a small metal pipe or antenna. If you run a ground wire into the home and with the meter touch one lead and also with the other hand touch the ground wire the reading becomes 60 hz. Its suggested all over the net that 60 hz magnetic field is not healthy since it disturbs the electrons of the human body. If you dont know what a hz is its the number of times a magnetic field flips polarity,,so 60 hz means 60 times a second as its oscillating the polarity or flow of electrons move forward then get yanked backward. Even using a ground wire which also is resonating at 60 hz the electrons in that wire are forced to move forward then backward. You could imagine it like this,,electrons get forced from the earth up the wire and into the human body but then they get forced back out of the body,,then down the wire and into the earth. This in itself is not healthy,,however is healthier then no ground to earth at all. so we can not remove the 60 hz oscillation from the wire,, but we can force electrons to flow in only one direction, from the earth to the human body by means of a diode. Looking at a diode it has a white or black line usually on one end. This is the end that electrons enter the diode,,and they exit the other side. They can only flow in this direction. So by connecting a diode between yourself and the earth ground,,you have electron flow from earth to your body in a one way direction into you. This method works well enough, but there are others perhaps even simplier and better. Another method is to use a solar cell as an electron pump, you connect the positive of the solar cell to earth ground wire, and the negative to your body. You power the solar cell by sunlight,,not room light. As room light will pulse the solar cell at 120 hz a second,,same as any light bulb is pulsing light on and off 120 times a second. Which is also suggested to not be a healthy frequency as sunlight has no hz reading. The reason i suggested using a solar cell instead of a plain old battery is because a battery does not send electrons out of the negative unless it has the exact flow into the positive,,and that is what makes the chemicals inside the battery react to force more electrons out the negative. With a solar cell this works different as its photons knocking electrons out of orbit which will flow out the negative as long as it has any form of resupply of them in the positive, and as we all know electrons repel each other keeping the flow going. One method I like even better then this is using what I call an antioxidant battery. Which for all accounts is really an earth battery if you know one is,,except it has no direct connection to earth but still works the same. How its made goes like this, two metal rods of dissimilar metals in the earth produces a voltage, which can be read by a digital meter. But this can also be made portable,,or a table top version. You simply fill a bucket with sand, however dirt can do but I use sand. The sand does have bits of organic matter in it since its from outside. Stick two metal rods in your bucket of sand spaced apart of course. Pour water in the bucket to keep the sand moist,,not overflowing with water but good and moist,,repeat when needed. These two metal rods will have a voltage reading,,which can be checked by a digital meter. The metal rod that is negative goes to the human body. The rod that is positive is left alone connected to nothing. I also place a diode between the negative rod and my body to keep electron flow going one direction, which may or may not be needed since the different metals act themselves as an electron flow pump in one direction. And thats the gist of it,,set it on your table even, no ground needed. How it works is like this, any metal in water slowly erodes into positive metal ions in the water,,as the metal molecules break down. But the electrons from that molecule just build up in the metal itself,,or on it if you prefer. Thats how an electrolyte battery works. So the electrons will flow down anything connected to the negative metal rod,,even into the human body. I wont mention all methods Ive thought of or tried,,to many lol. But I will mention one more. If you have ever been into rings or bracelets made of metals you may find that they are not made of zinc,,magnesium, tho some are made of copper. These are the three metals the human body can use. Wearing rings or bracelets has been proven that the metals of such ever so slowly erode or break down into the human body from skins salty sweats and so forth. Now what if you had rings or bracelets made of zinc or magnesium. Then as it breaks down into the skin,,its at least a metal the body can use for beneficial purposes. For example a ring made of newer pennies which is itself made of zinc with a copper coating, just sand the copper off to get to the zinc. You find in relation to this here that looking up negativity of metals will be a benefit. Also check out cathodic protection as well as it all relates. Best wishes.

The only place I feel fine ( and Im almost bedbound) in all year is barefoot in the beach, near the sea ,in summer.I feel charged for some hours .

Read the book Earthing by Clint Ober. I now sleep with an earthing sheet and use an earthing device when on the computer. Its made a real difference to me. I also had someone I trust and someone who specialises in 'sick' buildings come and measure the EMF's in my flat. The hotspots were where I spent most of my time, and reducing my exposure has helped alot. I think this is an area well worth pursuing.

I also have been using the earthing sheet on my bed. I started out with just putting my feet in the dirt for 20 minutes a day, but then it got cold so I bought the sheet. It wasn't a miracle or anything, but I definitely sleep better and deeper with it on the bed.

I got mine from Roy Riggs, who also did the environmental survey for me. In the UK, I think he's a good person to use, he struck me as competent and committed to his work
