Here’s an email from Lorraine I received over the weekend. She and her husband just started Earthing.

“We live in Cape Coral, just south of you and are just beginning, my husband the skeptic, by default on the half sheet.

For over a year I have been hearing about the benefit of grounding from David A. Wolfe and his website Longevity.com …and put off making a purchase. I recently gave in and ordered the mat, and upon receiving the book with the kit I read it from cover to cover.

Within two weeks I ordered the starter set, and just received it. Using the testing device I found that my terrazzo floors are grounded so now I am barefoot in the house all the time. We began sleeping on the half sheet this weekend. I look forward to many health benefits.”

Lorraine, I hope you’ll keep us updated on your experience. Thanks for sharing!

Best,

Susi

Earthing & Hypothyroidism.

by susi on August 20, 2012

HypodthyroidismIn 2011 my doctor said my thyroid function was the most dismal he’d ever seen. I had hypothyroidism over the top!

He was able to bring my thyroid back to normal function by using a natural drug called Armour. Armour Thyroid is a natural, porcine-derived thyroid hormone replacement containing both T4 and T3.  More About Armour Thyroid

After being on thyroid medication for 1 year, my blood test in March 2012 of this year showed….

TSH: 1.92… Normal range is .45 – 4.5 uIU/mL

Revere T3: 48.1…  Normal Range is 13.5 -34.2 ng/dL

As you can see, after one year of being on Armour Thyroid medication my TSH is normal but my Reverse T3 is outside the normal range.  The Earthing book advises anyone on thyroid medication have their levels checked after Earthing.  I had mine checked about 3 months after Earthing and was very pleased with my new results.

TSH: 1.820

Reverse T3: 25.8

You can see that my TSH has decreased slightly and my Reverse T3 has normalized. YEAH!

Perhaps it would be wise to have a baseline blood test before you begin Earthing.  This way you can monitor your progress.  Two notable markers of inflammation are  C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and Sedimentation Rate (Sed Rate).

Wound Healing Update

August 20, 2012

The folks at the emergency room suggested I have my stitches removed in 10-12 days.  I visited a hand surgeon to provide more information about my wound.  His nurse commented that I was certainly a fast healer and the stitches could have been removed sooner. They were removed day 8. The hand surgeon said that [...]

Wound Healing

July 30, 2012

The other day while concentrating on everything other than what I was doing, using an immersion blender, I inadvertently depressed the switch while my finger was where it should not have been. Long story short, I ended up having 6 stitches in my finger. It was extremely painful and two days later my mid-knuckle color [...]

Earthing & Sleep

July 11, 2012

Sleep for some of us at night is elusive. The last 20 years I have consistently awakened numerous times each night. Each awakening would last 15-30 minutes and reduced my restfulness significantly. I adjusted to this and accepted it as the way life is. What else could I do?

Earthing & Dogs

June 12, 2012

We’ve now been Earthing for 4 weeks, even Tiki, our Yorkie. She puts in about 6-8 hours a night. We use an Earthing half sheet. Tiki traverses the bed at night, starting at the foot under the covers. She then migrates to my right side and tries to slide under me. Remember, even though she [...]

Earthing – Week 3 (It’s About the Teeth!)

June 4, 2012

It’s interesting how we learn to deal with body pain. We simply get use to it as best we can; sometimes forgetting all about it because we’ve learned trigger avoidance. I have a personal story after Earthing for 3 weeks now.

New to Earthing Experience

June 1, 2012

Here is a story shared by one reader. “Bette Boop” wrote… The minute I put my bare feet on the grounding pad I feel a slight tingle. I earth only for an hour a day, right now, because, after spending several hours on the pad and once, sleeping with it, I experienced the “Detox response.” [...]

Earthing – Week 2

May 29, 2012

It’s been 2 weeks since I started Earthing.  As many days as possible, I walk the beach on Longboat Key which is a barrier island off the coast of Sarasota, Florida.
