Jos haluat kertoa kokemuksiasi, mutta englannin kieli tuottaa ongelmia, voit lähettää palautteesi minulle sähköpostilla (info@tiedonportaat.fi) Käännämme sen englanniksi. Palaute voi olla nimetön, mikäli et halua nimeäsi mainittavan.  Palautteen englanniksi voi lähettää  suoraan: info@earthinginstitute.net
Kysymykset on suomennettu lyhyesti allaolevaan uutiskirjeeseen, kysymykset naisille ovat kirjeen lopussa.



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.    

New Earthing  Institute Website www.earthinginstitute.net
    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. 

ONKO MAADOITTUMINEN HELPOTTANUT KIPUJA? MILLAISTA KIPUA, ONKO SINULLA DIAGNOOSI KIPUUSI?  VOITKO ARVIOIDA SKAALALLA 1-10 KIVUN VÄHENEMISTÄ? 

    4. Has Earthing improved a menstrual problem, and if so, what was the situation before Earthing and after Earthing? How fast did the problem improve?

ONKO MAADOITTUMINEN  VAIKUTTANUT KUUKAUTISONGELMIIN, MILLÄ TAVOIN JA KUINKA PIAN?

    5. Has Earthing improved a menopausal issue, and if so, what was the situation before Earthing and after Earthing?  How fast did the problem improve?
ONKO MAADOITTUMINEN HELPOTTANUT VAIHDEVUOSIONGELMIA? MILLAISIA NE OLIVAT JA KUINKA PIAN SAIT APUA MAADOITTUMISESTA? 

    6. Have you noticed any discernible weight loss since starting Earthing, that you strongly believe is attributable to Earthing and not any diet, exercise program, or supplement routine?  And if so, can you describe how much weight loss was involved and over what period of time. 

OLETKO HUOMANNUT SELVIÄ MAADOITTUMISEN VAIKUTUKSIA PAINOOSI? ONKO JOTAIN TAPAHTUNUT ILMAN DIEETTIÄ, LIIKUNTAOHJELMAA TAI LISÄRAVINTEITA? KUINKA PALJON PAINOSI ON MUUTTUNUT JA MISSÄ AJASSA? 

    7. If you have been pregnant while Earthing, do you feel that Earthing made a difference during your pregnancy and delivery?  In what way?  Can you compare this to your experience during a prior pregnancy?
OLETKO KÄYTTÄNYT MAADOITUSTUOTTEITA RASKAUDEN AIKANA? MITEN MAADOITUS VAIKUTTI RASKAUTEEN JA SYNNYTYKSEEN? ONKO SINULLA VERTAILUKOHTAA AIEMPIIN RASKAUKSIIN?

    8. Do you have children who are Earthing, and if so, what difference have you seen in their health or behavior?   

MAADOITTUVATKO LAPSESI, OLETKO HUOMANNUT MUUTOKSIA HEIDÄN TERVEYDENTILASSAAN TAI KÄYTÖKSESSÄÄN?
