Blood Thinning with Earthing

My girlfriend in Melbourne and my father in law have both started earthing at night.  Both of them told me after a day or two that they were burning hot at night.  My father in law even pulled out the plug thinking it would cool him down (like an electric blanket).

However, I feel the answer lies with the blood which has become thinner.  As we age, our blood cells become sticky and clump together rather than circulating separately.  Contact with the Earth appears to create warmth in the extremities and body as a result of better circulation and relaxation.   There is a study where blood was taken from several people by a Cardiologist who was studying the effects of earthing on the heart.  After only 40 minutes of earthing, the "ketchup" sticky blood in almost all subjects was changed to almost a "red wine" consistency.  Photos were taken of the results which I now show.

Dr Sinatra went on to do a professional study:

The Amazing Health Benefits of Grounding/Earthing

The most immediately noticeable effect people report from being grounded is that they ‘feel better’.  This has been described as a feeling of greater peace within themselves, feeling calmer with reduced stress levels.  If there is pain present then often this is reduced or disappears completely.

With regular grounding, numerous health benefits have been observed, such as:

Improved immune function

Improved digestion

Improved sleep

Rapid healing of injuries

Improved blood circulation

Accelerated recovery from intense athletic activity

Reduction of inflammation

Reduced stress / anxiety / irritability

Dramatically reduces inflammation.

Reduces or eliminates chronic pain.

Increases energy.

Improves blood pressure and flow.

Relieves muscle tension and headaches.

Dramatically speeds healing and prevents sores.

Reduces or eliminates jet lag.

Protects the body against harmful

electromagnetic fields (EMFs)

Please note that none of the information here constitutes medical advice in any way.

In the coming days, I will be posting up greater information about some of these positive effects, as well as some testimonys from some of my friends who have begun earthing.

Colds Away Oil Blend

I just found this oil blend recipe for the colder months.
No need to use it just for keeping colds away, it is delicious anytime!

3 Drops Lemon Myrtle
3 Drops Eucalyptus
2 Drops Peppermint

Always add oils to warm water in your oil burner, not just on their own!

Blessing Your Food

Below is the results of an experiment I did where I blessed or cursed cooked rice.  I prepared 2 cups of cooked rice.  In one clean jar I placed half, and in the other clean jar, the remaining rice.  On the jars, I stuck 2 stickers, one with loving words, and the other with cursing words.

Then every day or so, I spoke loving or cursing words to the rice.

Over a 3 month period, the results speak for themselves!  The blessed rice remained white and fluffy, and the cursed rice developed into a muddy, juicy mess.  

This experiment reminds me on how important it is to call my food blessed before eating, so that it does me no harm with the additives, pecticides etc.  According to a Japanese scientist who did this experiment with water, the structures in the food/water change dramatically just with the spoken word.  http://www.whatthebleep.com/crystals/ 

Food for thought!?

Earthing - I'm Hooked!

Lindsay and I have just stumbled upon what we believe is one of the greatest health discoveries ever – at least in the past 100 years!  This health discovery is called “Earthing”, developed by Clint Ober in 1998.  Earthing is a way of bringing the healing effects of being barefoot on the earth, indoors.

This explains to me why I always feel so good when paddling barefoot on the beach when on holidays, and why gardening has such a calming effect on me.  In the past, if I had a headache, I would take pills and lie down, which had no effect, so I would get up and wander around the garden watering, and the headache would lift!  I never understood this phenomenon until now.

The electrical contact between your body and the earth (termed earthing or grounding) -- forms a connection for the flow of energy from the earth to your body and conscious mind.  This action allows a flow of free electrons from the earth into your body.  It seems that shoes are our own worst enemy, as rubber soles insulate us from the earth and positive electrons that are in our 21^st century homes build up and cause all kinds of negative effects on our bodies.  The worst of this effects is INFLAMMATION!  Just talk to anyone these days about health issues, and you get sense that inflammation effects just about everybody!  If you were to go outside on the lawn barefoot for ten or twenty minutes when inflammation attacks, you will sense a clear effect on your pain, mood and stress levels.  As a “creationist”, I am reminded that we were formed from the dust of the earth, so it makes sense to me that the earth should have a positive effect on my body in some way.   Note: Did you know that all 19 minerals found in our body are also the 19 minerals that are found in the earth?  (that’s for free). J 

My first impression of this information was not good, however, because I have some memories of “the New Agers” hugging trees and “feeling the energy, dude!” from Mother Earth!  But it seems now I have looked at it, that these guys may have had something we (and they) didn’t fully understand, because science and technology has proved it to have some credence!

Now, back to Clint Ober.  The earthing institute documents the scientific validation which began with Clint Ober's initial question in 1998 of whether direct connection with the Earth could have an impact on health and whether separation from the Earth―such as by wearing insulative shoes―could contribute to unwellness.

The research that followed has produced fascinating evidence demonstrating that Earthing generates a powerful and positive shift in the electrical state of the body and restores natural self-healing and self-regulating mechanisms.

We know that Earthing allows a transfer of electrons (the Earth’s natural, subtle energy) into the body. We know that inflammation is caused by free radicals and that free radicals are neutralized with electrons from any source. Electrons are the source of the neutralizing power of antioxidants.  Lindsay, being an electrician, understands all of this stuff!

In the Earthing studies, as well as the feedback from thousands of individuals who have grounded themselves, there is consistent evidence of people whose pain was reduced. Such reduction of pain is evidence (but not proof) that inflammation is reduced. However, the studies point clearly in that direction.  I, myself experienced a very swift elimination in pain in a part of my body when I earthed myself within 1 week!

Take a look at the information on Earthing, it will truly inspire you and give you hope and save you money!   I will be putting up more blogs on this subject, you can count on it!

Colloidal Silver actually Boosts Anti-biotic Effects

I have just been reading an email from TheSilverEdge.com where Steve Barwick shows research that supports the use of Colloidal Silver alongside antibiotics.  Critics with ties to Big Pharmaceutical companies continue to say colloidal silver can interfere with the absorption of antibiotic drugs, when in reality studies show that it actually BOOSTS their effectiveness!

Clinical research from the Dept of Microbiology/Molecular Biology at Brigham-Young University, and published in the journal Current Science, Vol. 91, No. 7, October 10, 2006, has demonstrated that colloidal silver works synergistically with antibiotic drugs, and often produces an "additive" effect when used alongside them.

In other words, in many cases colloidal silver actually increases the infection-fighting qualities of those drugs.  What's more, antibiotic drugs that had previously lost their effectiveness against drug-resistant pathogens suddenly regain their full effectiveness when colloidal silver is used with them!

He went on to name an extensive list of antibiotic drugs used by the researchers to be synergistic with colloidal silver.

This is good news in this day and age where so many strains of bacteria and infections are present in the earth.  Of course, colloidal silver alone kills drug-resistant pathogens - with, or without antibiotic drugs - has been reconfirmed time after time!
