Why Should We Ground the Body to Earth?
The Importance of Our Environment and Our Essential Interaction and Interwoven Connection With The Environment and Mother Earth
Why being directly connected to, and in symbiosis with Nature - especially having direct contact with the Earth - is inherently good for us, and why any form of disconnection, insulation from or interference with this natural symbiosis and connection may not be good for us.
"Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers." ARTICLE 19. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948, in Paris.
The following information is taken from an article based upon the published science (in English) of eminent Biophysicists in 1993 by Haug International s.p.r.l. First published in German in 1990 by Karl F. Haug Verlag GmbH & Co.
'A Human in many respects is literally an “open system and constantly receives from
his environment information from biotic and abiotic environmental factors.
Plants, animals and people and their vital expressions and mutual relationships
are among the biotic environmental factors. Soil, air, water, sunlight, sound,
crystals, trace elements, Schumann waves and other electromagnetic oscillations
of the atmosphere are natural abiotic factors. All these natural items of
information are largely disturbed in our modern age by artificial environmental
factors created by Man” - such as microwaves and radio waves, chemicals and so
forth - which can “…lead to a modification of the natural environmental
situation and environmental information and imperceptibly, but to an
increasingly worsening extent, the human organism.'
'The science of biophysics
has established that all life is firmly imprinted with the stamp of the
environment: “The body is thus firmly integrated into our environment, is in
constant exchange with it and is controlled by it, i.e. all our various
biorhythms, our organ and metabolic functions (normally) run synchronously with
the ‘pulse rhythm’ of the universe. If this coordination is disturbed, disease
and possibly death occur.” Control pulses come firstly from what are referred to
as Schumann waves, arising in the ionosphere with a frequency of 7.83Hz that
corresponds precisely with the frequency of the hippocampus in the brain of all
mammals. The hippocampus in humans is responsible for our memory and survival
among other factors.
'Our nervous system also responds to the electromagnetic pulses of the Schumann waves. These induce miniature potentials in the nerve loops, which on repetition add up to action potentials and can actively intervene in cybernetic control circuits of the body. The autonomic nervous system is autonomic but adapted to the environment and resonates with it. It becomes very clear that we are an electrical or energy system and depend on and interact with balanced and natural energies around us for our health, wellbeing and survival. The importance of this and the importance of the Earth’s Schumann waves, as an example, are evidenced by the fact that NASA builds Schumann wave generators into its manned space flights to keep their astronauts physiologically and psychologically healthy.
"However, these Schumann waves can be interfered with or altered in
towns and cities and even the countryside by technical interference frequencies
from all forms of radio and other communication transmitters, railway networks
and high-tension power lines et al. There is another signal spectrum that we
humans integrate with and this is known as the electron plasma waves of trace
elements and crystals in the lithosphere. Although these electromagnetic
radiations are far weaker in intensity, they are in precise resonance with the
organism, in which the same trace elements also occur, particularly in the
blood. These too can be interfered with by communications transmitters.
It is quite clear from the aforementioned information that our environment has played a large part in our evolution and survival, enabling us to become what we are today. That it continues to play a large part in the continuity of our species is also without question. (This of course applies to all living entities too). If our communication and interaction with nature and the environment is interfered with, then it is also clear that this interference will have a detrimental affect upon our biophysical functionality and corresponding physiology.
Does Our Modern Day Living Represent a Health Hazard?
Today the human body, more so than any other living entity, is gradually and increasingly being disconnected with, or insulated from, the Earth. This is a vital and important connection that we have had and have evolved with for many thousands of years. Today, due to our modern-day living, man-made fabrics and footwear, high rise offices and buildings, and a lot more, we seem to have lost this vitally important biological and biophysical connection essential for well-being. In view of the aforementioned information, and with the increasing plethora of human-created electrical, microwave and wireless radiation we are being subjected to today, is it prudent to ask if this disconnection from the Earth and a natural environment is actually doing us any good or not?

Is It Important To Have a Connection With Earth - To be Grounded? Many people have noticed that they feel better when they spend time barefoot
in the outdoors, walking barefoot on the seashore, feet in the edge of the lapping waters, or just laid upon the Earth. However, our modern lifestyle prohibits most people from spending time in direct contact with the earth. We have evolved in direct contact with the earth, walking barefoot, sleeping on the earth and using natural footwear that kept us 'earthed' and 'grounded'. Today we wear footwear with rubber-molded soles that insulate us from contact with the Earth. We sleep upstairs, away from connection with the earth. In the mid-1900s in the UK we switched our electricity supply from Direct Current (DC) to Alternating Current (AC), and with this change came the Electric and Electromagnetic fields that can affect us so much today. Additionally, with the plethora of mobile phone masts and all things wireless, we are being bombarded with electrical radiation from all quarters which can lead to a build up of electrical stress. Is it any wonder that more and more people are becoming electro-sensitive (ES) - a known and recognised medical condition in Sweden - and that chronic conditions are on the rise?
Therefore, it follows that in today's electrically-polluted world it is prudent to allow our body the opportunity to be able to discharge as much of this unnatural and excessive electrical stress as it can, as often as it can. For our body to do this it needs to be connected with nature, with the earth. Having a direct conductive connection with the Earth allows us to experience and enjoy that connection with Nature and the Earth's essential energy field that we once enjoyed as a matter of course, without interference, for thousands of years. When the body is grounded to earth it ceases to act just as an antennae, it then becomes a conductor as well. Thus it is able to discharge excessive and unrequired voltage (static & information) from the body. This is after all the premise upon which ESD to ground products work. In today’s electrically-polluted world, re-connecting with the earth as often as possible - like in the old days - could well prove to be one of the most important decisions that we ever take! 
Reconnecting to the Earth can be achieved in a number of ways. One, naturally by going barefoot as often as possible or swimming in the sea. Two, wear leather-soled footwear or ESD Grounding shoes. Three, use a Car Grounding Pad and/or a Vehicle Grounding Strip on your car that connects the 'Faraday Cage' of the metallic car with the surface/ground below to earth/discharge the electrostatic charge. Four, by using what is referred to as a 'Barefoot Substitute' - a conductive material that 'connects' the body to ground, to the earth. This particular way of re-connection with the earth and nature can be through connecting an external Ground Rod to any suitable conductive material, or through connecting conductive material to a dedicated Mains Earth Connection Kit, as outlined above. IMPORTANT NOTE: There are, albeit just a few, web sites on the Internet circulating information and so-called science that would indicate to the reader that grounding the body may be dangerous!! This is simply not true. Their reasoning, science and method of testing is deeply flawed, on many levels. The 'science' and 'testing' assumes as fact that the body is a volume conductor when nothing could be further from the truth! "Connecting the body to the earth essentially insulates the body from the influences of ambient electrical fields...Under these conditions, the body is maintained at the same electrical potential or voltage as the earth. Ambient fields cannot affect the potential on the body...Similarly, a body connected to the earth's infinite supply of electrons will be at the same electrical potential..." Oschman, James L, 2008. In other words, the 'field strength' or 'ambient field' that the body is being subjected to would have to be able to change the entire field of the Earth before it could affect a change in the body. This is obviously impossible!
