Can Electrons Act as Antioxidants? A Review and Commentary JAMES L. OSCHMAN, Ph.D. http://www.agroundedlife.com/Earthing_Electrons_as_antioxidants.pdf A previous study demonstrated that connecting the human body to the earth during sleep (earthing) normal- izes the daily cortisol rhythm and improves sleep. A variety of other benefits were reported, including reduc- tions in pain and inflammation. Subsequent studies have confirmed these earlier findings and documented vir- tually immediate physiologic and clinical effects of grounding or earthing the body. It is well established, though not widely known, that the surface of the earth possesses a limitless and continuously renewed supply of free or mobile electrons as a consequence of a global atmospheric electron circuit. Wearing shoes with insulating soles and/or sleeping in beds that are isolated from the electrical ground plane of the earth have disconnected most people from the earth’s electrical rhythms and free electrons. The most reasonable hypothesis to explain the beneficial effects of earthing is that a direct earth connection enables both diurnal electrical rhythms and free electrons to flow from the earth to the body. It is proposed that the earth’s diurnal electrical rhythms set the biological clocks for hormones that regulate sleep and activity. It is also suggested that free electrons from the earth neutralize the positively charged free radicals that are the hallmark of chronic inflammation. A rela- tionship between cortisol and inflammation was established in the pioneering work of H. Selye published in the 1950s. Current biomedical research has led to an inflammation hypothesisthat is establishing chronic in- flammation as the culprit behind almost every modern chronic illness. The research summarized here and in subsequent reports provides a basis for a number of earthing technologies that restore and maintain natural elec- trical contact between the human body and the earth throughout the day and night in situations where going barefoot on the earth is impractical. It is proposed that free or mobile electrons from the earth can resolve chronic inflammation by serving as natural antioxidants.

 An Interview with James L. Oschman, Ph.D.Jim Oschman is a leading authority on how complementary and alternative therapies work from a scientific perspective. This interview was conducted in October of 2006.   6,683,779 Grounding system for collecting and removing unnatural electrical charges from the body In the News   The shielding effect of the earth's natural electric field It is common knowledge (and demonstrable with a voltmeter) that physical contact with the earth maintains the human body at the natural electrical potential (voltage) of the earth. When the body is electrically coupled with the earth, the DC electrons of the earth and/or its related electric field, then residing on the surface of the body, absorb the excitation effects of 50-60 Hz environmental electric fields. By transferring (offsetting) the attraction of an electric field from the body (which has a limited supply of electrons) to the earth (which has an infinite supply of electrons), excitation of the body's electrons is significantly reduced. When the body is shielded with the DC of the earth, the electrons of the body are then protected from being disturbed and held "hostage" as 50-60 Hz induced body voltage and away from their normal functions. Shielding, via grounding, allows the body to have all of its electrons available to carry on their normal functions in the body, which include the stabilization of excess free radicals. [The shielding of electronic cables and electronic equipment by grounding their housing to the earth is widely used as a method to prevent internal electromagnetic interference - EMI.]  7,212,392 An improved personal body grounding system includes a grounding pad having two or more ground leads conductively coupled to one or more grounded anchors having multiple ground contact points. A monitor tests the continuity to ground using the circuit created by the multiple ground contact points. The monitor includes multiple safety features in the event of a power surge. The system also includes an electrical meter to measure the personal body voltage of a user and a voltage gauge for measuring continuity to ground.  A method to speed recovery from acute injury and/or reduce and prevent chronic inflammation in an animal or mankind is disclosed. The method includes providing a grounded plane, conductively coupling said animal or a man to the grounded plane to conduct the earth's mobile negative surface charge of free electrons from the earth to said animal or human in order to provide the body with an abundant supply of free electrons to reduce residual immune system produced reactive oxygen specie free radicals and prevent the same from oxidizing healthy tissue and exhibiting chronic inflammation in said animal or man. Applying earth's free electrons to the human body for prevention of chronic inflammation and therapeutic reduction of inflammation is described. Further described are methods to apply and maintain earth's mobile free electron charge on an animal or human while residing in modern home or work environments or in a treatment facility. Publication number: US 2008/0068773 A1 The invention discloses methods and systems for conductively coupling the body and more specifically the bare feet of an animal or human body to the earth in situations where conductive contact with the earth is otherwise impossible, such as inside a home or other building or in a bed. Various embodiments of the invention allow earth's mobile surface charge of free electrons to flow from the earth to the body, (similar to that which occurs naturally when an animal or a man is standing barefoot on the earth), for the purpose of neutralizing excess or residual immune system-produced reactive oxygen species free radicals that cause physiological deficiencies and disturbances in the body such as acute or chronic inflammation.   7,349,194 The present invention specifies the fundamental method and system for providing an electrical connection between the human and earth ground for purposes of promoting health, well being, and performance. It is based on the premise that vertebrate organisms require electrical connectivity to earth for health and well being, especially during times of trauma. It is asserted that vertebrate biopotential may be modulated by varying the resistance from the body to earth ground and that via this mechanism, bioenergy production and internal impedance may be modulated for purposes of healing, health maintenance, and “work” including exercise. Instructive methods for characterizing an individual's biopotential and for applying the present invention in urgent portable medical care situations are provided. |
Aether Research In Greek, 'Aithen' means to burn or shine The word 'aethere' was used by Romans and Greeks to mean the upper air which they regarded as pure and connected to a Sun that was driven through this aethere across the sky during the day, hence the relation to shining and burning (thus luminiferous Aether is nothing more than a distributed physical medium permeating the entire universe, endowing it [space] with measurable physical qualities H. A. Lorentz formulated an aether based version of special relativity, known as Lorentz Ether Theory MATTER IS MADE OF WAVES " The material Universe is solely made out of Aether "  The Greek derived word Aether is defined in the Webster Universal Dictionary as a: "hypothetical medium, supposed to fill space, by means of vibrations in which light and other forms of radiation are transmitted". Up until the latter part of the last century the 'Ether' theory was an established scientific fact.
