Abstract in brief

  • Earthing, or connecting the human body to the Earth, can significantly influence physiological processes such as mineral balance, hormone levels, blood glucose, and immune response, affecting both during sleep and physical activity.
  • The study shows that earthing during night rest can lower serum levels of iron, calcium, and phosphorus, while also affecting thyroid hormones and blood sugar, especially in diabetics, and influences immune responses to vaccines.
  • These effects suggest that earthing might be a crucial factor in regulating body functions, possibly by activating catabolic processes and impacting the endocrine and nervous systems, with effects opposing those seen in weightlessness.]

Grounding during night rest decreases free tri-iodothyronine and increases free thyroxine and thyroid-stimulating hormone. The continuous grounding of the human body decreases blood glucose in patients with diabetes. https://t.co/1GSCshm8Nw

@ellenfromnowon Here are some grounding studies, people are free to make up their own minds. And as already stated, you do not need to buy any product. Ideally you're walking somewhere barefoot in nature. https://t.co/KP2Eyc2ZEG https://t.co/ebBdSzFfSQ https://t.co/kSQO1ykLWM

@WokeWonderland https://t.co/58AJZHkVlG Earthing reduces inflammation and increases gamma globulins. One group of gamma globulins is the immunoglobulins, which are also known as "antibodies" I did see a barefoot Steinbart in video where he is playing pool. :D https://t.co/ueYRVDbOQb
