Yes there are amazing benefits to being grounded, but watch out for Hookworm. They infect you through your feet in soil.

Touching something that is grounded such as grass has the same effect. I love to lay on the grass or go swimming for the same reasons. We should all lay or walk on the untreated grass for 15 minutes a day if we can. It's also the perfect place to meditate on the creation. Adam; red clay, man made from the dust.

You did not miss anything. The first 1.5 minutes said it all - our happiness depends on our connection with nature. Being electrically grounded brings health and healing. Nice if you are pantheist.

The reason why it is somewhat safe for the bird on the line is because they aren't touching the ground. But they are touching the energized line. There is plenty of radiation up there next to those lines so don't think there is no harm to them. We almost lost the American bald eagle because of high power lines.

The reason men connecting to the ground is healthy is because there is no energized line, no potential, there is only ground.

Electrons flow from negative.

Flesh conducts electricity remarkably well. We can even become extensions for our antennas, so why would becoming an extension to the ground be unfathomable?

Rubber tires and shoes stop a lot of grounding for us. This is safe in the mechanized world, but less than ideal for our bodies in general.

I love walking on the sand on a beach but I don't get the same effect as when I stand on bedrock barefoot; That is when I get grounded the best. Being in Arizona and climbing Flatiron Mtn. in the morning with dew on the rocks in bare feet I got such a sense of grounding I felt electric.

The person that presented the first video is not SDAs and have his own belief system. However I don't remember he expressing much of it besides some of those he interviewed...

James, you have several rather disconnected statements here along with errors.

You aren't telling us the eagles died because of radiation up next to the lines are you? Otherwise, why did you say that right there?

And the "radiation", you understand it is electromagnetic and not nuclear, right?

What causes the "potential" in us?

Bedrock conducts electricity well? Seems like when I was little, I stood on a rock to touch an electric fence so I wouldn't get shocked. Am I mistaken?

There are significant studies being done to show if EMF causes Leukemia in children from living too close to the poles so what if you lived on them like the eagles did until they started fixing them?

being on dry bedrock has the exact opposite effect. Bedrock is one of the worst places to try to ground electricity, depending on the rock, but when it is wet it changes it's grounding properties and it seems to be a reflector of charge like the ceramic of a spark plug.

That's quite silly APL. With this line of thought, then you better not drink water or use it for hydrotherapy (despite it have healing and health benefits) as this is pantheist.

The person that presented the first video is not SDAs and have his own belief system. However I don't remember he expressing much of it besides some of those he interviewed like David Suzuki and others scientist or medical profesionals who I remembered went into their beliefs. We need to be able to bypass these and extract the pure science they have observed or understood. Pure science, nature and its agencies is all the Lord's handy work.

When the Lord created us, we were created bear footed and to have contact with the ground and to work the ground. It's only via sin and modern technology that we have increasingly become disconnected with nature that deprived us with its great benefits and puts our body out of wack.

I believe that we need to return to the Lord's original blueprint plan when He created us in terms of diet, exercise, drinking water, being outside in the sunlight, and simple living, etc... which could very well include to be more grounded to the earth. I'm open to this as it makes sense to me. That's why I would like to understand the science behind this and investigate it.

If they were on the lines? Nothing. Being close to the ground, "being grounded", causes the problem.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

That's not good theology. God made Adam and Eve naked and they continued to be naked which means they were made to be naked. Do you know NOW what you are suggesting?

Please do not follow all these extreme right-wing ideas of organic living. Let commonsense prevail. They don't know what they are saying, except it sounds good to their itching ears.

You obviously don't know much about EMF Radiation kland. Even the EPA admits that power lines emit enough EMF radiation to cause serious damage to any living tissue close to the line (within a couple of feet) for extended periods of time.

Potted plants grow up to 30% better if the planter they are in is grounded.

Just some wonderful sillyness.

Well, I have grounded my bed and the children's bed by laying under the sheet an aluminium screen that is wired to a copper 1" pipe grounded in the soil.

ELF field sources and residential exposures
Electric and magnetic fields exist wherever electric current flows - in power lines and cables, residential wiring and electrical appliances. Electric fields arise from electric charges, are measured in volts per metre (V/m) and are shielded by common materials, such as wood and metal. Magnetic fields arise from the motion of electric charges (i.e. a current), are expressed in tesla (T), or more commonly in millitesla (mT) or microtesla (µT). In some countries another unit called the gauss, (G), is commonly used (10,000 G = 1 T). These fields are not shielded by most common materials, and pass easily through them. Both types of fields are strongest close to the source and diminish with distance.

Most electric power operates at a frequency of 50 or 60 cycles per second, or hertz (Hz). Close to certain appliances, the magnetic field values can be of the order of a few hundred microtesla. Underneath power lines, magnetic fields can be about 20 mT and electric fields can be several thousand volts per metre. However, average residential power-frequency magnetic fields in homes are much lower - about 0.07 µT in Europe and 0.11 µT in North America. Mean values of the electric field in the home are up to several tens of volts per metre.

Task group evaluation
In October 2005, WHO convened a Task Group of scientific experts to assess any risks to health that might exist from exposure to ELF electric and magnetic fields in the frequency range >0 to 100,000 Hz (100 kHz). While IARC examined the evidence regarding cancer in 2002, this Task Group reviewed evidence for a number of health effects, and updated the evidence regarding cancer. The conclusions and recommendations of the Task Group are presented in a WHO Environmental Health Criteria (EHC) monograph (WHO, 2007).

Short-term effects
There are established biological effects from acute exposure at high levels (well above 100 µT) that are explained by recognized biophysical mechanisms. External ELF magnetic fields induce electric fields and currents in the body which, at very high field strengths, cause nerve and muscle stimulation and changes in nerve cell excitability in the central nervous system.

Potential long-term effects
Much of the scientific research examining long-term risks from ELF magnetic field exposure has focused on childhood leukaemia. In 2002, IARC published a monograph classifying ELF magnetic fields as "possibly carcinogenic to humans". This classification is used to denote an agent for which there is limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans and less than sufficient evidence for carcinogenicity in experimental animals (other examples include coffee and welding fumes). This classification was based on pooled analyses of epidemiological studies demonstrating a consistent pattern of a two-fold increase in childhood leukaemia associated with average exposure to residential power-frequency magnetic field above 0.3 to 0.4 µT. The Task Group concluded that additional studies since then do not alter the status of this classification.

Well, all holier than thou, perhaps you can inform us of your extensive knowledge of EMF radiation.

Um, James, you seem to be a good example of aggression.

I love your unbiased reprimand presented here GC. I'll watch my tone, but why don't you act like a fair and unbiased moderator. If you look at the record nothing I said was even close to being as scathing as the statements Kland made.
