      "body": "Grounding and Emfs\n\nIt is hard to talk about energy simply because we can`t see it. Have you ever seen a thought, or free electrons browsing through the air? I bet you haven`t spotted a wireless connection either. But it is there. We know it because we have felt what joy or sadness can do with us, we know it because we use electricity as a core feature of civilization, we know it because we invented internet. We are all connected in a divine web which we keep learning about. We have always been part of it no matter how much we understand. And because we mainly see objects we explain this connection by the existence of invisible fields. Fields through which flows information that creates energy. Energy which empowers action and transforms into matter. Now, matter is something we can see.\n\n\nThere are two major fields that physics uses to explain communication at a lower level that involve our old friends - the free electrons. \nThe first is the magnetic field which is based on charge. It is produced by moving electric charges. The second is the electric field which is generated by stationary charges. Both are so related that science combines them into one electromagnetic field explanation. The so called EMF ( electromagnetic field ) is produced by electrically charged objects. The field can be viewed as a wave or a particle vibration. \nWe as part of the breathing planet have evolved based on these electromagnetic fields. Every object, every being, every cell resonates in one global EMF. \nSo where is the problem? Why do we keep hearing about the dangers of Emfs when we are all connected and it is a good thing!\n\nIt seems to me that we are not that connected any more. We gradually isolated ourselves creating our own rules. We even come up with our own internet with various artificial receptors, and thousands of radiating devices which now interfere with nature's internet. We brought a lot of clutter to the web of life and our only excuse is that we can't see it, we can't see energy.\n\n\nLet me tell you. I am not against technology and I still believe that we can figure out a way to reconnect with nature and satisfy our need for growth at the same time. I do believe that technology can transform from being the problem to being the solution. We just need to change the way we see.\n\n\"If you wish to understand the secrets of the Universe, think of energy, frequency, and vibration.\"\nNikola Tesla\nHuman-made Emfs coming form cell phones, computers, laptops, power lines, wireless transmitters, microwaves, radars, appliances etc, are part of the 21st century physiology. The electrical pollution we have excreted is very often linked to our endless array of health problems such as brain tumors, leukemia, birth defects, miscarriages, chronic fatigue, headaches, cataracts, heart problems, stress nausea, chest pain, cancer,autism, Alzheimer's, dementia, Parkinson's etc. It doesn't take a lot to figure out why this is so after we know that the energy these devices radiate can directly disrupt the vibration frequency of the cell . \nDr. Martin Blank, PhD, of Columbia University, draws an amazing sketch on the cellular and molecular effects of the electromagnetic fields:\n\n\nCommonwealth Club 11-18-10. Panel II – Martin Blank, PhD from ElectromagneticHealth.Org on Vimeo.\n\nHow to avoid dirty Emfs?\n\nTogether with all the logical \"stay away whenever possible from all wireless or transmitting devices\" recommendation, there is something else you can do.\n\nYes, you guessed right - get grounded!\nWhen you ground, your electrical potential equalizes with the Earth's electrical potential through a transfer of electrons from the ground. This acts as an umbrella shield against the electromagnetic fields that are coming from smaller objects than the Earth. In an article published in the Journal of Environmental and Public Health the researchers have written:\n\"The study confirms the “umbrella” effect of earthing the body explained by Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman in his lectures on electromagnetism [16]. Feynman said that when the body potential is the same as the Earth's electric potential (and thus grounded), it becomes an extension of the Earth's gigantic electric system. The Earth's potential thus becomes the “working agent that cancels, reduces, or pushes away electric fields from the body.”\"\n\n\n\nEmfs are also known to successfully mess up the rhythm of the pineal gland. As a result we get overstimulated and sleep deprived. Sleep is the reset mechanism nature has intended for clearing the sensors, wiping the everyday noise, recharging the energy, and preparing body and mind for the next day challenges. Not being able to take a proper break accumulates fatigue quickly and ruins health fundamentally. Living in a WiFi era there is no surprise we are more diseased than ever. According to the National Center for Sleep Disorders Research at the National Institutes of Health, about 30-40% of adults say they have some symptoms of insomnia within a given year. This is every third person.\n\n\nSleeping grounded shields the pineal gland, restores its normal function and lowers inflammation. Melatonin goes up, cortisol goes down and healing process is set to begin. Good sleep is the best rejuvenating cocktail you can have.\n\nSo have it. Get grounded, restore sleep and vibrate as one with the Earth again, isolated from human crap.\n\nThe earth has the supreme strength to overcome what we have caused through our inventions, it is our only clean source, it is our only way to purify ourselves. All we have to do is to reconnect.\n\nFor more scientific research you can visit: http://www.groundology.com/ca/scientific-research.\nIf you are interested in sleeping grounded you can research do it yourself videos on YouTube or visit:\nhttp://www.groundology.com/ca/products to learn about the conductive grounding bed sheets.\nIf you live outside North America and want to use the earthing technology you can choose the proper earthing connection plug here: http://www.groundology.com/ca/earthing/accessories.\nOther useful websites you can visit and learn about the earthing technology: http://www.earthing.com/ and http://earthingcanada.ca/",

      "body": "Grounding and Anti Aging\n\nfree radicals\nOne of the most popular anti-aging theories is the free radical theory which states that organisms age because cells accumulate free radical damage over time. A free radical is any molecule or atom that has a single unpaired electron in an outer shell. Electrons usually live in pairs and travel in orbitals. This does not define charge which means that the free radical can be positively or negatively charged, or neutral. The damage occurs when the free radical steals the missing electron from another molecule which turns the affected molecule into a free radical. This turns into a chain reaction creating a whole lot of dysfunctional molecules and leads to cross-linking of atomic structures. DNA cross-linking for instance can cause cancer. Cross-linking between fat and protein forms the wrinkles on your skin, the oxidation of LDL (low density lipoprotein) starts plaque formation which could end up as a heart disease or a stroke. As an addition to the free radical theory comes the mitochondrial theory of aging which takes the mitochondria as the main target for the free radicals. The theory states that mitochondrial DNA is less protected than the nuclear DNA and during energy production electrons may escape, interact with water, and form reactive oxygen species (ROS) which accumulate and do the damage over time.\n\nThe largest amount of free radicals are produced during inflammation, and energy formation. So we get them every time we take a breath. We get them every time we eat. We get them every time we get injured. It is not a question of if we are going to get them, it is a question of how much.\n\nGrounding is still the most intelligent way to establish balance and control of the free radical chaos:\n\n\"It looks to me, from my study of biophysics and cell biology, like the body is designed with a semi-conductive fabric that connects everything in the body, including inside of every cell,...\n\nI refer to this system as the living matrix. Those electrons that enter the bottom of your foot can move anywhere in your body. Any place where a free radical forms, there are electrons nearby that can neutralize that free radical and prevent any of those processes: mitochondrial damage, cross linking of proteins, and mutation or genetic damage.\n\nSo the whole fabric is basically an antioxidant defense system that is in every part of our body.\n\nWe have this material called ground substance which is part of the connective tissue. It goes everywhere in the body. It's a gel material and it stores electrons. So that if you go barefoot, you will take in electrons and your body will store them, and they will be available at any point where you might have an injury, or any point where a free radical might form...\"\n\nDr. James Oschman\n\nGrounding and ATP production\n\nATP is our energy currency. The molecule contains adenosine (an adenine ring and a ribose sugar) and three phosphate groups. The groups starting closest to the ribose are referred to as the alpha, beta and gamma phosphates. The energy is stored in the covalent bonds between them with the greatest energy being between the second and the third. A decent analogy is to look at ATP as a rechargeable battery. Its energy is exhausted first and then it gets recharged. ATP is the charged battery which releases energy by cutting loose the third phosphate. ADP (adenosine diphosphate ) is the exhausted battery which gets recharged with the help of additional energy and a phosphate group.\n\n\nADP + Pi + energy ----> ATP\n\nAdenosine diphosphate + inorganic Phosphate + energy produces Adenosine Triphosphate\n\n\nATP ----> ADP + energy + Pi\n\nAdenosine Triphosphate produces Adenosine diphosphate + energy + inorganic Phosphate\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/xbJ0nbzt5Kw\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\n\nATP generated from ADP and Phosphate ions is quite a process. There are supportive agents called coenzymes that navigate the flow of the electrons. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) are the two most important enzymes. The removal of electrons or protons from a coenzyme is called oxidation and the opposite is called reduction. So the chemical workings done by the coenzymes are called oxidation-reduction reactions. Together with the coenzymes, another bunch of guys called cytochromes also deal with the electrons in a system known as the electron transport system. Cytochromes and coenzymes extract the energy from the electrons to form ATP from ADP and phosphate ions. So energy always forms by turning a high energy state electron into a low energy state electron.\n\nATP can be produced by using carbohydrates (broken down to glucose or fructose) or fats ( fatty acids and glycerol ).\n\nThe overall process of oxidizing glucose to carbon dioxide in humans is known as cellular respiration and can produce ideally 38 ATPs from a single glucose. There are three distinct stages: glycolysis, citric acid cycle ( also known as the Krebs Cycle ), and the electron transport chain. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and is purely anaerobic (no oxygen). It breaks down glucose into pyruvate and generates 2 ATPs. From this point the pyruvate can go two ways based on the oxygen usage. If the cells require fast delivery of energy and the aerobic pathway (citric acid cycle) can not fulfil the requirements the pyruvate goes to fermentation turning into lactic acid. Although fermentation is not creating any more ATPs, it allows the glycolysis to start over quickly and get another two ATPs ( by regenerating NAD+ enzyme). The process is highly inefficient but also a lifesaver in times of emergency. We see this in sports all the time when the intensity of the exercise needs energy faster than the mitochondria can produce, the muscle cells switch to fermentation. If there is no rush and the mitochondria is healthy, glycolysis continues to its rightful way. Pyruvate moves on towards the citric cycle. It starts after a preparation step where the pyruvate becomes Acetyl CoA and enters the cycle as Citric Acid producing another 2 ATPs (happens in the matrix of the mitochondrion).  After the first two stages the reaction goes to the electron transport chain to generate the bulk of the energy - 34 ATPs with the help of the coenzymes and the cytochromes. This is the stage when the high energy state of the electron is used to create a high pressure turbine which jumbles ADPs and Phosphates together to form ATP.\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/3y1dO4nNaKY\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\n\noxidative phosphorilation\nThis is also known as oxidative phosphorylation - the most efficient way to utilize glucose for energy. It is fair to note that grounding improves glucose metabolism by providing high state electrons thus promoting oxidative phosphorylation versus fermentation.\n\nBeta-oxidation is the process of breaking the down the fatty acids in the mitochondria to generate Acetyl CoA which then enters the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain. The fatty acid metabolism can use a lot of explanation but what’s important is that it generates a lot more ATPs comparing to glucose ( palmitate yields 106 ATPs  vs 38 ATPs of the glucose ). So fats are better storage of electrons than carbs.\n\nBeing grounded is a good reason why plants don’t need fat storage, they have an access to the high state energy electrons of the earth all the time. So the more we stay connected to earth the more we don’t need fat storage. Yes, grounding consistently will help you lose fat.\n\nDr. Stephen Sinatra, the author of “The Sinatra Solution: Metabolic cardiology” talks about the importance of ATP production and heart health for years. He has been a promoter of the raw ingredients that help the muscle cell recycle ATP - Co-Q10, D-Ribose, Magnesium, and L-Carnitine.  He recently added to the mix the ultimate ATP recharger - Earth’s free electrons. He is convinced that grounding is the most important health discovery in the last 30 years. He also believes that grounding gives the supercharged electrons our body needs to stay on top of the energy game.\n\n \n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/11PC8AFrh5w\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen></iframe>",

      "body": "Part 2 - The Cardiovascular System\nHeart never stops. It constantly pulsates creating a flow. A flow that runs in a system of vessels - the largest being the aorta and the smallest being the capillaries. The matter of the flow is the blood. It delivers oxygen, nutrients and messages to the cell and takes away the garbage. The elasticity of the vessels, their number and bandwidth together with the volume of the blood and its thickness define how well this cardiovascular system communicates.\nGrounding improves it all.\n\nGrounding, Blood Viscosity and Zeta Potential\n\nBlood viscosity is a term describing the thickness of the blood. The thicker your blood, the slower it flows, the greater the possibility of clumping. Visualize it as ketchup versus red wine.\n\n\n\nZeta potential is related to blood viscosity. It is the negative charge on the surface of the red blood cells. The higher the amount of free electrons, the more negative charge, the more red blood cells repel each other. No coagulation and no traffic jams.\n\nGrounding provides free electrons to negatively charge the red blood cells and thin the blood. Linus Pauling (the only person awarded two unshared Nobel Prize Awards) knew about zeta potential a great deal. This was one of the reasons why he promoted the supplementation of high doses vitamin c (a governor of the electron flow). Other popular blood thinners are the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) - aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen. Also natural remedies such as fish oil, turmeric (curcumin extract), ginger etc.\nYou need to be careful with grounding if you are taking a prescription blood thinner like Coumadin (often prescribed by physicians to heart patients). The combination between the two can thin the blood too much and become a health risk (not to be able to stop any kind of bleeding for instance). A good strategy is to start grounding gradually and lower the prescribed drug after you and your doctor have monitored and agreed upon all the changes.\n\nGrounding, Heart Rate Variability and Sympathetic Nervous System\n\nHeart Rate Variability (HRV) is the variation in the time interval between heartbeats. HRV is an important indicator for both acute and chronic stress caused by mental overdrive, anxiety, and emotional trauma. In other words people with low variability are less able to handle stress and more prone to stress-related disorders.\nThe sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is also an important indicator of how stress has been handled. It represents the flight-or-fight response. It constricts the cardiovascular system, rises blood pressure, rushes adrenalin and cortisol to keep us on our toes. In today’s informational chaos we are surrounded by chronic uncertainty and frustration that leaves us in a state of defense and fear. This often causes panic attacks and arrhythmia which disrupts the stability of the heart rhythm. The parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS),  which takes care of relaxation, rest,and recharge, can not cover for the over excitement. Neither can the enteric nervous system which controls the gastrointestinal system.\n\nSo what are we to do since things don’t seem to be getting any less shaky?\n\nTake it Easy. Realize that life is not that serious.Throw in some humor. Exercise, dance, listen to music, meditate, talk, be creative, laugh, reconnect to “Earth”.\nGrounding acts as a calming regulator allowing the body to adapt, to lower cortisol, to balance the autonomic nervous system and to improve the Heart Rate Variability. The electrophysiologist Gaetan Chevalier, Ph. D. and Dr. Stephen T. Sinatra, offer an extensive experimental research on the matter clearly showing the relationship between grounding and the reduction in overall stress and tension.\n\n\n\nGrounding and High Blood Pressure\n\nOk, let’s picture the cardiovascular system as a network of elastic pipes. It is logical to say that the blood pressure will be dependent on the strength and the rhythm of the heart, the volume and the thickness of the blood, the elasticity and the bandwidth of the pipes.\n\nAlthough all parameters are important, the hardest to correct are the elasticity and the bandwidth.\n\nLosing elasticity and narrowing the bandwidth is known as a disease called atherosclerosis. It is a chronic inflammatory response in the wall of the arteries leading to their hardening and narrowing because of a plaque formation. The response could be triggered by anything producing an excess of free radicals: smoking, chemical irritants, chronic cardiovascular overtraining (often invoked in long and intense marathon training programs), but the biggest reason is the diet itself. What we eat and how much we eat holds the key to inflammation and healing. As described in Part 1- Inflammation, the problem lies not in the first inflammatory response but in the inability to transform into the second rejuvenation phase. Let me summarize chronic inflammation with one word - miscommunication. An ongoing  inflammatory battle causes a constant free radical shower. The body compensates by pulling all of its antioxidants and eventually exhausting them. One such powerful antioxidant is co-enzyme Q10. It plays an important role in ATP formation (the primary energy molecule in the cell). Once CoQ10 gets depleted the cell starts leaking energy, oxygen, and free electrons. The mitochondria can’t keep up with the energy requirements. So the body switches to an alternative anaerobic way to produce ATP which surpasses the mitochondria (glycolysis producing lactic acid through fermentation). Highly inefficient and damaging, this anaerobic respiration produces only 2 ATPs from one glucose while the aerobic respiration delivers 38 ATPs. The muscle cells (the heart is a muscle) start to lose energy in a cascading pattern which leads to an extensive glycation (bonding of protein or lipid with glucose or fructose). As a result of all this the cell membrane gets depleted from cholesterol sulfate which creates further oxidation and leakage of ions ( cholesterol serves a crucial role in preventing small charged ions, mainly sodium Na+ and potassium K+, from leaking across membranes).\n\nCholesterol is a long conversation which will be addressed in a future article. I will say however that it is not the bad guy. Although it is always found at the crime scene it is not the killer, in fact its intentions are quite the opposite, it is there to protect. If you believe in Nature’s intellect then it would be naive to assume that it concentrates cholesterol in the two most vital parts of the human body (the heart and the brain) just so it can get us killed.\n\n\"I always have believed that cholesterol is a very, very important nutrient,... Cholesterol is to animals as chlorophyll is to plants. It basically gives us mobility – the ability to move and it gives the nervous system the ability to think.\"\n\nDr.Stephanie Seneff\n\nIn a fascinating interview between Dr. Mercola and Dr. Seneff you can learn further about the role that cholesterol, sulfate metabolism, and sun exposure play in restoring health:\n\nDr. Mercola Interviews Dr. Stephanie Seneff on Statins\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/_hbNSHPco0g\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\n\n“My research has uncovered compelling evidence that the nutrient that is most crucially needed to protect the heart from atherosclerosis is cholesterol sulfate. The extensive literature review my colleagues and I have conducted to produce these two papers shows compellingly that the fatty deposits that build-up in the artery walls leading to the heart exist mainly for the purpose of extracting cholesterol from glycated small dense LDL particles and synthesizing cholesterol sulfate from it, providing the cholesterol sulfate directly to the heart muscle. The reason the plaque build-up occurs preferentially in the arteries leading to the heart is so that the heart muscle can be assured an adequate supply of cholesterol sulfate. In our papers, we develop the argument that the cholesterol sulfate plays an essential role in the caveolae in the lipid rafts, in mediating oxygen and glucose transport...\n\nThe skin produces cholesterol sulfate in large quantities when it is exposed to sunlight. Our theory suggests that the skin actually synthesizes sulfate from sulfide, capturing energy from sunlight in the form of the sulfate molecule, thus acting as a solar-powered battery. The sulfate is then shipped to all the cells of the body, carried on the back of the cholesterol molecule.”\n\nThe primary reason for cholesterol oxidation is inflammation and energy leaking. It is the sugars that cause the inflammation and which we need to fear and not the cholesterol. Cholesterol is there to help, to deliver energy, to improve communication, and to keep negative charge to fight bacteria and other invaders. Unfortunately if inflammation continues long enough cholesterol will fall oxidized on the battlefield. The free radicals do not pick the good from the bad and everybody suffers sooner or later.\n\nGrounding is the best way to get free electrons needed as antioxidants, it is also the best way to increase the ATP production until you figure out the primary cause for the silent inflammation.",

      "body": "Get Grounded\nPart 1 - Inflammation\n\n\n\nElectricity is a network, a flow, that transfers information into energy and matter. It is how nature communicates on a subatomic level. So we all live and function electrically on an electric planet.\n\nThe natural vibes of the Earth are waves of energy explained by science as a motion of various particles or waves. A motion that can be successfully tracked by observing the behavior of one of these particles - the free electron. If you study the atom you’ll discover that it contains protons, with a positive charge, neutrons with no charge, and electrons, with a negative charge. The protons and neutrons are in the center while the electrons are buzzing around orbits in the periphery. Electrons are the free spirits who travel the world. Their traveling pattern is altered through three types of media. The conductors are the ones that allow a free flow. An example of a conductor is the metallic copper wire. The insulators are doing the opposite ( plastic, rubber, glass, and wood ) - no flow, and the semiconductors are in between - sometimes conducting, sometimes not.\n\n\n\n\nEarth gets replenished with free electrons every second through solar radiation, lightning strikes, and energy coming from its core. Similar to the earth’s texture, our bodies are mostly water and minerals which are wonderful conductors of electrons. So we mingle with “Mother Earth” electronically. We get to drink from the fountain of energy for as long as we are in direct connection. The free electrons will flow into our body only if our skin is touching the ground.\n\nOur ancestors didn't have to know this through millions of years of evolution because they weren't insulated with rubber shoes, plastic material, and other petrochemical compounds. They were connected. They were extracting energy from the earth just like a plant root is extracting moisture from the ground for nourishment.\n\nModern living has gradually disconnected us from Nature - wearing artificial clothing, sleeping on insulated padded beds, living in elevated houses, walking on synthetically covered floors. Illnesses are blooming and we are more inflamed and in pain than ever. \n\n\n\nInflammation and free electrons\n\n\n\nInflammation (Latin, īnflammō, \"I ignite, set alight\") is a complex defense system. It is a protective attempt by the organism to counteract any harmful attack, to destroy or remove invaders, and to heal after the fight has ended. The department of defense is the immune system. I say the process is complex because there is a lot of communication going on. The immune system tracks everyone, checks IDs, figures out who is food, who pretends to be food, and who is malicious. Then comes up with a strategy, sends troops, fights, and when peace is restored, sends the rebuilders to recover from the damage. We can see there are two distinct phases - the pro-inflammatory first response and the anti-inflammatory rejuvenation. In the first phase the body initiates an immunological battle causing  pain, swelling, and redness. The troops sent to the battlefield fall into five distinct battalions: chemical mediators, complement systems, eicosanoids, cytokines, and immunological attack cells. The first chemical mediator sent is histamine. Histamine is an alarming system which gets activated by bacterial toxins, viruses, malicious microorganisms, heat, UV radiation, trauma, proteolytic enzymes, other irritants and allergens. Once the histamine finishes ringing the bell it is quickly inactivated. Other initial inflammatory mediators such as serotonin and bradykinin work together with histamine to communicate more details - the complement system. There are more than twenty proteins which carry the signals further. Then eicosanoids, extremely powerful hormones produced within every cell, come into action to open the blood vessels to let the soldiers ( immunological cells ) onto the scene. Eicosanoids raise the temperature ( heat is a serious weapon against invaders ), increase the blood flow ( swelling and redness ), locate the intruders, and increase the sensitivity of the nervous system ( pain ), so everyone is aware there is a problem. The final whistle calling the white blood cells comes from the cytokines. They also release inflammatory proteins to help. The most famous is the C-reactive protein or CRP - a marker often used as a predictor of a heart attack or a stroke.\n\nOnce the immune cells step onto the field it gets ugly. Activated by the cytokines ( which are stimulated by the eicosanoids ), the white blood cells ( macrophages and neutrophils ) unfold by attaching to the invader, engulfing it, killing it, and eating it. On top of that neutrophils launch an aggressive bombardment of free radicals to destroy the enemy completely. \n\nFree radicals are positive-charged molecules, lacking one or more electrons, that search for free electrons to fill the void and become stable again. The free radicals obtain their missing electrons usually from pathogens or damaged cells which kills the bad guys. After the battle is won these hungry killers get neutralized by the  negative-charged antioxidants or the free electrons flowing in the body. This is one reason we shouldn't prematurely overload with artificial antioxidants - it will depress your immune system in times of war. We need Nature’s intelligence to take care of the free radicals instead.\n\nThe second phase of inflammation, the rejuvenation phase, is really a true anti-inflammation. It starts with calling off all battalions. The cytokines talk to the brain which fires up a chain of hormonal responses. This ends up with an increased production of cortisol from the adrenal glands. For that reason cortisol is considered a stress hormone but in most cases it acts as an anti-stress hormone because it shuts down inflammation or I should say military operation. When all the soldiers are out,  a specialized cleaning group of white cells known as macrophages goes in to remove all the debris. This is an important moment because if these guys leave anything behind, the pro-inflammatory phase will prolong. Once the canvas is clean then comes regeneration and repair. This is when balance between the pro-inflammatory and the anti-inflammatory messengers matters the most. If all the communication goes clear the rejuvenation process might not only repair the damage but make you stronger than you were before (this is what happens during adequate weight training for instance ).\n\nSo far so good. And why am I describing inflammation in such a detail when nothing seems to be wrong? Why do we hear more than ever that inflammation is the underlying cause of chronic illnesses including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, alzheimer's, autoimmune disorders, allergies, premature aging and more?\n\nWell, because I want you to see how complex the flow of information is and how easily it can break down. The pro-inflammatory phase protects us but when there is miscommunication or lack of energy ( free electrons ) the war never ends. It goes on turning the vital acute response into an indefinite chronic attack. An attack producing free radicals in a vicious circle, damaging its own self. An attack that creates constant fear, harms the cell, and shuts down growth and repair. An attack that never really transforms into rejuvenation. \n\nFree electrons are the defense on all counts. Abundant flow of electrons is a marker of clean communication. In every significant reaction there is a transfer of electrons. Adenosine triphosphate ( ATP ) - the primary unit of chemical energy in the cell is bond to the flow of free electrons. Cells success, or lack thereof, is dependent on ATP and free electrons for a healthy cell repair and regeneration. \n\nWhen there are not enough electrons to neutralize the free radicals during the acute response all surrounding tissues get under fire and all cells get damaged . \n\nSo where do we get the free electrons from?\n\nFood is one answer -  life evolved in the presence of oxygen so all living forms have developed some kind of antioxidant defense. Vitamin C is a good example, as well as flavonoids and other plant molecules. Melatonin is the antioxidant we produce when it is dark. Clean water is also an important source of free electrons. But above all the most abundant reservoir is right under our feet. That’s right, the Earth is the biggest and the best antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that exists.\n\nThe Earth is the best free electron donor.\n\n\nReconnecting to the living matrix is called earthing or grounding. It is very simple to do. Your skin is a very good conductor. You can connect any part of your skin to the Earth and this will open the gate for free electrons. It also appears that some points on your skin have higher sensitivity for electrons . One such point is located in the middle of the ball of your foot. Acupuncturists call it Kidney 1 or K1, the point that connects all of the acupuncture meridians. You can learn more in the extensive interview between Dr. Mercola and Dr. Oschman.\n\nDr. James Oschman is an expert in the field of energy medicine. He wrote numerous articles which resulted in two books: Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis, and Energy Medicine in Therapeutics and Human Performance. He also has written the Foreword for the book Earthing: the most important health discovery ever? ( by Clinton Ober, Dr. Stephen T. Sinatra and M.Zucker ).\n\n\n\nDr. Oschman and his team have provided the world with the scientific research needed to understand better what happens during inflammation:\n\n\n\n\"Even the slightest bump, if you bump the door, your immune system immediately responds by sending white blood cells (neutrophils) to the place of injury…\n\n\n\nThe neutrophils secrete a Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)… called free radicals, in what's referred to as an oxidative burst... These are like Pac-Man. They are very important molecules that tear things apart. If bacteria have gotten through your skin, these free radicals will destroy the bacteria very quickly. If you have damaged cells, the free radicals will break them apart so that there is a space for healthy cells to move in and repair the tissues.\n\nThat's known as the inflammatory response.\n\n\n\nWhat we have discovered that is truly profound is this: we now understand why you get the inflammatory response, which has five characteristics: pain, redness, heat, loss of range of motion, and swelling. All of those are the five hallmarks of inflammation and it turns out that that doesn't have to happen.\n\n\n\nInflammation, which in medicine is considered an important part of the healing process, is really an artifact caused by lack of electrons in your tissues. What happens is, the neutrophils deliver the Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) to the site of injury, but in so doing, some of those free radicals can leak into the surrounding tissue and damage healthy tissue. That's what creates the inflammatory response.\n\n\n\nSo really what is happening with grounding or earthing is that you're protecting your body from -- I call it, collateral damage,... Damage that was not intended to take place but does take place because we have disconnected ourselves from the Earth by putting rubber and plastic on the bottoms of our shoes.\"\n\n\n\nAnd indeed if you look into the wild you will notice that the inflammatory response is way milder and all animals heal much faster. \n\n\n\nSo be an animal. Get grounded and you’ll start feeling more like a human being. When you find yourself surrounded by nature get your shoes off, reconnect any part of your skin to the Earth, grass, or any natural water. \n\n\n\n“And I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.” \n\n― Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country",
