Of course saying that the electrons move to the inside is the same as saying that the electron holes (= missing electrons) move to the outside. It is one and the same process, just as an electrical current moving one way means the electrons are moving the other way.

The outcome of earthing or grounding is not to give the body a negative charge, the outcome is to make the body electrically neutral because it is connected to the earth.

No, missing electrons behave the same way as electrons themselves, except that they move in the opposite direction if you apply an electrical field. Also positive charges prefer to gather at the surface.

That argument is only valid when there is no shortage of electrons inside the body.

How long do you have to be in contact with the ground/grass. Is there a certain amount of time required?

“Beneath your feet is not just a mere patch of grass, dirt and sand or concrete. It is an ominpresent source of natural healing energy.” That is why you were feeling great after spending time outdoors, barefoot.
I recently learned that the surface of the earth is constantly pulsating with negative-charged free electrons and that free radicals are positive-charged molecules at the core of inflammation. Go to http://www.Earthing.com or get the book Earthing by Clinton Ober and Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D.

You will be amazed that healing is right under our feet.

During the spring, I spent tons of time outside with my bare feet in the grass and the sun on my skin. I was feeling amazing. I had less pain, slept better at night, and had more energy than I have in a long time. My allergies are awful, but I was managing them well. This summer has been so incredibly hot, and the air is painfully dry, so I haven’t spent more than a few minutes outside each day for weeks. I’m feeling sluggish, the pain is creeping back in and I’m not sleeping well at all. Oh how I wish it would cool off so I can regain that feeling again!!!

It is also good for sore throats. A could infusion with marshmallow and plantain is great for a sore throat!

I would love to know Dr. Kresser’s opinion on drinking water too. I have been using a Berkefeld filter system for years and love it. (I don’t sell them so this is not a sales pitch!) And I have the additional filters that remove the flouride. The filtered water retains all the minerals, unlike reverse osmosis. There is a big debate between water with minerals and distilled.

Many of my kids’ friends who visit “think” they don’t like water (because of the nasty stuff that comes out of the tap). It’s tragic. They are filling their bodies with soda, sports drinks and sugary juices instead. And when they do drink water, it’s out of a BPA-lined plastic bottle.

With regard to grounding, will you benefit by just standing barefoot for a couple minutes? I have read about this numerous times, but I have not seen information regarding how long it takes to receive benefits.

Oh, yes. I didn’t have any idea that’s what it was called. Thanks

No plantain. I’m sure you’ve seen this in your yard: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantago_major

A fairly simple home experiment would be to wear an electronics static wrist band connected say to an Arduino microcontroller which simply switches the band to ground (or not) randomly before each nights sleep and silently stores that state. Upon waking, the person logs (via computer program) how things went. After thirty or sixty days, the data is displayed relating grounding to perceived effect. Such things as humidity might be included which may effect static charge. This is effectively double blind.

People are frequently exposed to grounds. Metal cased appliances (like say your refrigerator), plumbing (when you touch a faucet or shower). It’s not like you go long periods of time slowly building large charges.

Plantain the herb/weed, not the plantain banana!
