Multi-disciplinary research has revealed that electrically conductive contact of the human body with the surface of the Earth (grounding or earthing) produces intriguing effects on physiology and health. Such effects relate to inflammation, immune responses, wound healing, and prevention and treatment of chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The purpose of this report is two-fold: to 1) inform researchers about what appears to be a new perspective to the study of inflammation, and 2) alert researchers that the length of time and degree (resistance to ground) of grounding of experimental animals is an important but usually overlooked factor that can influence outcomes of studies of inflammation, wound healing, and tumorigenesis. Specifically, grounding an organism produces measurable differences in the concentrations of white blood cells, cytokines, and other molecules involved in the inflammatory response. We present several hypotheses to explain observed effects, based on current research results and our understanding of the electronic aspects of cell and tissue physiology, cell biology, biophysics, and biochemistry. An experimental injury to muscles, known as delayed onset muscle soreness, has been used to monitor the immune response under grounded versus ungrounded conditions. Grounding reduces pain and alters the numbers of circulating neutrophils and lymphocytes, and also affects various circulating chemical factors related to inflammation.

Ever hit a level of exhaustion so deep that you accidentally sleep through a major client meeting in your company's parking lot? That was my reality. After months of running on empty, battling severe brain fog, and waking up with stiff joints, I had almost accepted my fate as a chronically "bad sleeper." But an unexpected dinner at my sister's house—and her unusually relaxed dog—introduced me to the strange but fascinating world of "Earthing." Discover how a skeptical 30-day experiment with the Groundward Bedsheet completely rewired my nervous system, cured my sleep deprivation, and helped me finally get 8 hours of solid, restorative rest.
