Greetings All!

I hope all of you had a great holiday season and are already being prosperous in the new year. If not, get going because no one is going to do it for you. Be the best you can be every morning, noon and night. Be the leaders that Mike has trained us for and pass your experience on to the next generation. This is greatly needed. My son surprised me by joining the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers last year and now works out of Cincinnati Local 212. He is now a fourth generation electrician in my family. I’m so proud of him. As a side note: I have been in the electrical trade for over 42-years and have loved every minute of it and it has provided me with wealth beyond my dreams. Now it’s time to transfer those dreams to the next generation. - SHC

Now my question:

Has anyone else seen the ad for “Grounding Sheets” and other products? They are claiming that sleeping on these sheets will unlock a myriad of health relieve for those of us who has developed chronic fatigue, arthritis, joint pain, etc…..from being in the trade. If you’ve been in the trade for a long time, you know what I mean. You get out of bed in the morning and it sounds like the Fourth of July, with all your joints cracking and popping while you are just trying to get up and to the bathroom.

Down To Ground™ Grounding Sheets. $151.00 $110.00 with 27% Off. However, they are currently sold out. But I plan ordering a set of these when they become available again.

This company claims to be on the forefront of this technology with a multitude of personal grounding systems for your body. They claim that sleeping on “grounded” sheets will improve your all around wellbeing.

This is from their website: “Downtoground.co”

You will never get one solid answer as long as this earth is spinning. You will have some of us who thinks a great connection to dirt is about as redundant as it gets.

And than of course those who think the polar opposite
 
Its been said that theres a sucker born every minute so caveat emptor. Their website is full of nonsense and their products are seemingly right up there with useless supplements. All of this is backed by this disclaimer from the bottom of their web page.

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

IMHO these are 'snake oil'. And I say that knowing that snake oil derived from the Chinese water snake was recently determined to be high in omega-3 fatty acids and probably good for inflammation :)

By calling these 'snake oil' I don't mean to say that I am certain that they do not provide benefits. Grounding sheets _might_ provide benefit, and it would be virtually impossible to prove that they don't provide some benefit. I am making the analogy that people were selling 'snake oil' without understanding any of the ways it might possibly work, overstating the benefits beyond what was really possible, and to the extent that any particular 'snake oil' helped any particular customer it was because of luck, not understanding and targeting of effect.

What I am saying is that the people who sell grounding sheets are blowing smoke.
  • They don't have solid double blind placebo controlled trials that demonstrate benefit. They have anecdotes and customer reviews and a few weak journal articles.
  • They don't have a solid grasp of physics or biology, and they don't provide a theoretically plausible mechanism for how their systems might provide benefit. What the hell do they mean by 'free electrons soak into our body'?
  • When they say 'scientifically proven' they are lying. You can't 'scientifically prove' anything. The best you can do is provide evidence. At best you can provide very very strong evidence. But a scientific theory is never proven and is always subject to revision. There are a few papers out their about 'earthing', with some evidence (in small studies) of biological effects. Nothing that approaches 'proof'.
Just my personal opinion. I am not a public health expert paid to study earthing claims. I'd advise you to go to 'pubmed', actually find the articles on 'earthing' and decide for yourself just how strong the claims are. But read the articles with a very critical eye.
 
If grounding your bed was such a miracle cure why did cowboys have ailments? ;)
 
Hilarious comments and thanks for all your input. I love the ones that mention waking up on the ground with a stranger and not feeling any different. LOL....... Especially "Pa Dutch girl on Rumspringa". Too funny....... Thanks all. This was entertaining.
 
For $500 I can provide you with a longer life through better sleep. The best part is I can do it remotely! Yup, just send me $500 and you'll dream of white fluffy clouds and wake up feeling 10 years younger. I promise! How does it work? Trade secret, but trust me, it works. Yup, no need for special sheets or supplements, it's a miracle! Now, for legal reasons, I can't accept direct payment, so please send me 10 $50 gift cards, preferably from different retailers...

There once was a "new age" bookstore I heard of that had an arrangement of quartz crystals under lights on a black velvet cloth next to the cash register. If a customer were to pick up one of them to look at while they were waiting in line, the cashier would demand that the customer buy the crystal because in the handling of the rock its "aura" would then be "linked" with the person who picked it up and would therefore be "useless" to anyone else.
