Summary Of Mr. Clint Ober's Study On Therapeutic Effects Of ' Grounding '
DISCUSSION
The purpose of this work was to provide evidence that when the human body is grounded it is naturally protected from static electricity and radiated electric fields. The meter reading of the grounded subject proved this is true. The benefits of grounding the body were expected to relax muscles and improve sleep. This also proved to be true.
Worthy of mention is that several subjects in the study stated they also experienced significant relief from asthmatic and respiratory conditions, rheumatoid arthritis, PMS, sleep apnea and hypertension, while sleeping grounded. These unexpected results indicate that loss of ground contact plays a much larger role in overall health then was anticipated at the start of this study.
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR THESE FINDINGS
· In the May 1999 NIEH-EMF RAPID report, mention is made that reported biological effects to humans exposed to
EMFs, such as changes in melatonin levels cannot be confirmed in animal studies. Therefore, the actual effects to humans are
inconclusive. [5]
In the animal studies, sheep exposed to EMFs from a power line were reported to have experienced no change in melatonin
levels. The sheep, which walked and slept directly on the ground were naturally grounded throughout the experiment and
conducted a flow of negative ions from the earth. The fact that melatonin levels remain normal in sheep when grounded,
supports these findings that when humans are grounded their sleep improves.

· Comments from Russell Whitten, D.C. Ojai, CA 8/25/00 Prompted by the results of a patient who participated in Mr Ober's study, I grounded the beds of 35 additional patients over a two month period The bed e-field measurements in this group ranged from 3 to 47 volts before grounding . A variety of health benefits occurred in this time. Many of the improvements, such as increased energy and athletic performance can be attributed to the improved sleep that almost everyone reported. However, in many cases metabolic and hormonal conditions responded as well. Chronic back pain went away in several cases, stiff arthritic joints became more flexible, asthma attacks subsided and PMS symptoms lessened greatly. These indications confirm that e-fields do affect the body.
