Healing From Grounding

Healing from Grounding 

Grounding also known as Earthing is a lost practice that is having a turn-around. This information was taken from a post on Facebook by Dr David Hartman.

WWII and Grounding

In 1943, World War II, field medics noticed soldiers on the ground healed faster than those in elevated cots, despite worse conditions. Military hospitals replicated it and the recovery rates were so dramatic they classified the findings for decades.  Wounded soldiers sleeping directly on the ground recovered in half the time.  Within days, infections cleared faster, swelling dropped, pain decreased noticeably compared to soldiers in elevated hospital beds.  The medics were baffled.  So military doctors ran controlled tests… and the pattern held every single time.  Word spread through military units.

By 1944, field hospitals across Europe were documenting the same phenomenon…
They filed reports with the War Department.  The results were impossible to ignore.

• Ground-level recovery was 30-50% faster
•  Inflammation reduced significantly
•  Soldiers returned to duty quicker
•  Infection rates dropped in ways antibiotics alone couldn’t explain

One Army surgeon wrote:

“We cannot explain why proximity to the earth accelerates healing. But the data is undeniable. Soldiers on the ground recover faster than those elevated, even with identical wounds and care.”

Then Suddenly… The Reports Were Classified.  Not because they were wrong, but because the implications were too big.  If something as simple as sleeping on the ground improved recovery…  It would’ve raised questions about standard hospital practices.  So, it was buried, and the reports were stamped classified.

For over 70 years, this discovery sat locked away in government archives… while veterans came home with chronic pain, PTSD, and inflammation that never fully healed.
Until recently a handful of researchers with military clearance uncovered the old WWII medical reports and confirmed… what those field medics observed was bigger than they realized.

Benefits of Grounding

Our heart, brain, and nervous system run entirely on electrical signals.  In fact, every heartbeat, thought, and movement generates electrical charge, but our body wasn’t designed to hold onto it.  It’s like a sink that’s always running without a drain…
Eventually that water overflows and floods everything. When electrical charge pools in our body with nowhere to go, it floods our system… disrupting our cells’ ability to repair, rest, and recover.  The result:

• Joints that ache the moment you wake up
•  Sleep that never feels restful
•  Crushing fatigue, and more

Direct contact with the Earth releases the excess charge pooling in your body.  This is called grounding, or also known as earthing… and it’s exactly what sleeping on the battlefield provided.  The problem today is that we wear rubber shoes, walk on concrete, and sleep on elevated beds completely insulated from the ground.  The drain is gone.

Modern science finally validated the benefits of grounding.  Peer-reviewed studies now confirm the benefits of grounding, such as, reduces blood pressure, eliminates chronic pain, and restores deep sleep.

The Problem & Solution

The problem is that we can’t exactly sleep on the ground every night, neither are we able to walk barefoot outdoors all the time.  

The Breakthrough is Silver threads woven into bed sheets, which connect with the grounding port of most electrical outlet.  This is the third hole on an outlet and it connects directly to a copper rod buried in the earth outside your home. Every house has one, as it is required by building code.  When the fabric is connected to the ground port, then suddenly the bed becomes electrically connected to the Earth.  When we sleep on it, our body grounds all night long… exactly like those soldiers on the battlefield.

Some Benefits People have experienced are:

• Inflammation starts cooling within hours
• The body drops into deep, uninterrupted sleep
• Blood flow returns to cold tired legs and feet
• Circulation surges and energy begins to flicker back to life
• Pain eases, cramps soften, joints loosen
• Cortisol drops, tension melts away
• The heart gets real support, not another band-aid
• Anxiety fades, the whole system settles.
