Earth RX: Healing (Literally) From the Ground Up
Clint Ober, a pioneer of the cable TV industry, has seemingly discovered of one of Nature's gifts to health: earthing.
Summertime is here again and with it the annual urge to kick off one’s shoes and traipse barefoot on the grass, in the garden, or along a wet sandy beach. When you did so in the past, did you ever notice a slight tingling or warmth in your feet or a feeling of overall well-being? If so, you were experiencing the gentle, pulsating electric energy of the earth.
Until now, the distinct benefits of this energy have remained largely unknown. The benefits of being in contact with the earth are finally coming to light, and they are plentiful and powerful. Mr. Ober can claim no scientific training, but his inquiring mind and persistence have seemingly resulted in the discovery of one of Nature’s great healing secrets: The energy of the Earth, if we directly connect to it, has the potential to relieve chronic pain and insomnia, help normalize high blood pressure, speed recovery from trauma and surgery, and minimize many common symptoms of illness.
The details of this fascinating discovery, the landmark scientific research behind it, and dramatic stories of dozens of people literally healed by the Earth, are contained in a new book called Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever? As a health writer, I have had the privilege to co-author the book with Mr. Ober and holistic cardiologist Stephen Sinatra, MD.
