News from the Earthing Institute
Greetings
We Want Your
Feedback
We
would like to invite your comments on a number of questions about how
Earthing has benefitted your life.
For Women
We
are interested in learning more about the benefits of Earthing from a
woman's perspective. If you are a woman, please use the
questionnaire at the bottom of this message. Just copy it,
paste it into an email with your comments, and send it back to us
at info@earthinginstitute.net
For Men MIEHET
If
you are middle-aged and up, we’d like to know about the effect of
Earthing on prostate issues, and whether Earthing has helped reduce
the typical getting-up-at-night-multiple-times-to-urinate problem.
If you have any other personal observations to share, kindly
write them up at your convenience and send to us atinfo@earthinginstitute.net

Earthing and Pets
We
are also interested in feedback about how indoor pets are attracted
to Earthing sheets and mats, and what effect grounding has had on
their health. We have received a number of stories, and even
pictures, from folks about their animals sensing something special
about the grounding products and seeking them out to sleep or rest
on, and then experiencing improvements to health. Share your stories
with us at info@earthinginstitute.net On our website
you will find a new Earthing report from a veterinarian on this
subject.

Southern California
Hypertensive Patients Sought for Earthing Study
Many
people with high blood pressure who have “grounded” themselves using
conductive Earthing sheets and mats indoors have reported
improvements, suggesting a new, natural way to reduce
hypertension.
A
study to test Earthing’s effect on hypertension has been organized
under the supervision of cardiologist Howard Elkin, M.D., with
offices in Whittier, 19 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.
Additional
participants are being sought for the study.
●
Participants can be male or female, age 30 to 80, who have been
diagnosed with hypertension (blood pressure readings over
140/90).
●
The trial period is 12 weeks, during which time participants must
commit to being Earthed during sleep and active hours for a combined
total of 10-12 hours each day.
●
Earthing and standard blood pressure monitoring equipment will be
furnished at no cost and full instructions given at an initial
consultation in Dr. Elkin’s office.
●
Participants will be required to revisit the office every four weeks
after the start of the study, for a blood pressure examination, thus,
a total of four office visits.
The
study is solely aimed at testing Earthing’s effect on high blood
pressure. Individuals who currently take prescription
medication for hypertension are eligible to participate. There
is no reimbursement or expenses paid for participation in the
study.
If
you live in Southern California and may be interested in
participating, or know someone who would be interested, please send
an email to Dr. Elkin’s office manager mary@heartwise.com for more details.
Our
site has been redesigned with new features and more accessibility to
Earthing information. Take a look.
You’ll find a “video theater” where with clips on
Earthing. Our opening “show” is a selection of video
commentaries from Clint Ober, the founder of Earthing. More
videos will be added over time.
We
have added many new Earthing articles, including a report by
cardiologist Stephen Sinatra about the powerful Earthing−diabetes
connection, what to tell people who are skeptical about Earthing, and
a reminder about the importance of staying
grounded.
Earthing Training
Program
We
have received many inquiries from people around the world interested
in enrolling in an Earthing training program. We had mentioned
it in the Earthing book and started to develop an online program in
2012. However, other priorities have forced us to put further
development on indefinite
hold.
Earthing’s Global
Reach
Reconnecting
with the Earth is possible throughout the world, so it is no wonder
that the Earthing message is truly reaching global proportions.
Since the Earthing book was originally published in spring of 2010,
it has been translated into German, Korean, Swedish, Italian,
Finnish, Dutch, Spanish, French, Russian, and Polish. Later
this year, the book will be published in Danish, Greek, Chinese, and
Croatian. For links to publishers’ websites, click here www.earthinginstitute.net
Earlier
this year, SpaFinder Wellness, an organization that advises the spa,
fitness, and resort industry, issued its annual 2013 trends report
and named Earthing among the top ten trends and as a prime way to
address a “nature deficit disorder.” Another example of
how Earthing is creating a buzz in the health world. Here’s the
link to SpaFinder Wellness: http://www.spafinder.com/newsletter/pt/trends2013/SFW_2013_Trend-Final.pdf
Scroll down to p. 13
to see how Earthing is envisioned to be part of a “less piped-in
nature sounds, and more real nature” atmosphere.
Walking Barefoot
Barefoot
running/walking gurus Michael Sandler and Jessica Lee have just
published their latest book, “Walking Barefoot.” The
two give considerable attention to the Earthing benefits of the
barefoot experience. It’s not just about the biomechanics of
barefoot walking. If you are interested in learning how
to take your walking experience to another level, including how to do
it safely. Michael and Jessica have the book for you. For more
information, visit their website at http://runbare.com/barefoot-book-overview “Barefoot Walking” is
a sequel to their first book, Barefoot Running.
Stay Grounded!

Questionnaire on
Women’s Issues KYSYMYKSET NAISILLE
Through
this informal survey, we hope to add to our knowledge about how
Earthing helps health and personal issues important to women.
Such information helps us better understand and explain the benefits
of Earthing to women. We may draw material from the feedback for use
on our website and in the Earthing book, or in answering questions
that we receive. Answer any question you feel is relevant to
you and at any length you wish. Send
your comments to us atinfo@earthinginstitute.net
No answer will be
used in any way with your name, unless you give us explicit
permission to do so.
1.
What has been the major effect of Earthing on your personal health
and how much of a difference has it made?
MIKÄ ON SUURIN MUUTOS, JONKA MAADOITTUMINEN ON SAANUT AIKAAN TERVEYDENTILASSASI?
2.
Do you feel more rested, youthful, and energetic as a result of
Earthing? If so, how much more, and how fast did it take for
you to notice a difference?
TUNNETKO OLEVASI LEVÄNNEEMPI, NUOREKKAAMPI JA ENERGISEMPI MAADOITUKSEN ANSIOSTA? JOS NIIN ON, KUINKA PIAN HUOMASIT MUUTOKSEN?
3.
Has Earthing reduced a pain problem? Please describe the pain,
or the diagnosis, how long you had it, and how much Earthing has
helped. Can you quantify your improvement on a scale of 1
to 10, with 10 being very severe pain? Example: My daily
pain from an arthritic knee was 8 or 9 at the worst. I’ve had it
for 10 years and I had to take a prescription pain killer (often or
daily), and the pain prevented me from playing tennis. After
Earthing the general level of pain was 2 or 3, and I didn’t have to
take so many painkillers, and was able to play tennis again.
