     Subject: sleeping grounded study
      Just yesterday I found that my study regarding personal grounding was posted on
     your site along with comments from others. I found the comments to be quite
     interesting, but somewhat disturbing in that no one commented on the health
     aspects. However, the pads we used were protected from an electrical event in
     that the pads were made from UL approved ESD fabric with a .0025 mA surface
     resistance and the ground wire was additionally protected with a .00625 mA fuse.
     Also the pad was placed under the bottom sheet. What the pad did was to create a
     ground plane in the bed. I sense that many folks concerned about EMFs are
     unaware of what a ground plane is and how it works. For now that is not my
     concern, but this is: EMFs are not the only electricity stressing the body. With
     loss of natural ground contact by humans in the modern world the body is also
     now being stressed by its own bio-electricity. Here is a major new discovery.
     When a human is grounded with just physical contact at a beach 1+ miles from the
     nearest electrical transmission line, the body itself draws a flow of approx..
     750 mV of negative ions from the earth. This can only occur if there is a flow
     of 750 mV of positive ions on the body coming from another source.With no EMFs
     being present on the body the flow of positive ions can only be coming from one
     of two sources, the body itself [CNS etc.]or space or both. The fact that this
     flow is continuous and occurring naturally implies that throughout 200 million
     years of evolution, being grounded played a major role in how the body
     neutralizes bio-electricity and protects itself from extraneous electrical
     influences. Do modern insulative shoes, carpets and living environments effect
     natural health? Does loss of ground allow EMFs to electrify the body? Are there
     other underlying stress factor that are being missed by the scientific community
     in the study of the biological effects from exposure to electricity? The purpose
     of the study and the surfacing of this information was to raise a flag
     suggesting to the sometimes confused scientific community and a world of
     stressed folks in ill health that something fundamental has change in the body,
     we are now disconnected from our 200 million year old natural bioelectical
     protection system and have now allowed the body to become electrified by both
     our own bioelectricity and EMFs. Also to provide what may be a cause for the
     hundreds of ill health conditions that are currently listed as unknown, like a
     host of auto immune diseases etc, etc, etc. Back to the real world, got to go
     round up a herd of cows, love your site, anything I can do to help out let me
     know. Best, Clint
