My experience with grounding! Severe pain for years restless legs for one thing! No matter what Doctors prescribed nothing stopped the pain, listened to Clint Ober went outside took off my shoes 20 minutes later no pain! Pain is caused from inflammation now if I hurt I ground it is a miracle for me! I thank God for Clint Ober grounding is my blessing!

Grounding helped me a lot with my blood pressure, took about 5-6 weeks and frequent waking up in the night reduced . BP went below normal 🙂 (still on reduced meds). I am so thankful for Clint Ober and all you great souls. Glory be to you all.

I did a quick science experiment with my niece with grounding. Check this out: As always we noticed we would get shocked when playing on the slides and play structure at the park. We found that if you ground before getting on the structure you don’t get shocked AT ALL. However the second you touch someone who hasn’t grounded, you return to your previous state.

Late seeing your video. Grounding is not a new issue to me. IN 1980, when I went to natural hygiene and started sunbathing. I discovered for myself walking around barefoot was healthy and healing. We have seen his film about grounding, read his book years ago. We sleep 😴 well. We have been soaking in the hot cold mineral springs water outside since 1991. No COVID here. I have been using the sauna since 73 while living in Canada. The bare Earth is amazing. Stay safe From the Ozarks drinking free fresh spring water 💦 this morning

Amazing! did grounding for 4 days and I was blown away with the huge difference in the pain levels in my body. Especially in my feet.

I agree most of us don’t need to spend money on things like grounding mats and straps, but some people who live in extreme environments (think Northern cold climates) don’t necessarily want to go outside in negative temperatures to ground, which is when these items would be helpful. My grandmother lived in Palmer AK and she used many of the grounding items during their super cold winters.

It’s a shame this only have 53K views. Such a profound modality to heal and very few understand it or believe it. It’s astonishing

I use a grounding sheet and have been for about 6 months. Recently I have noticed that it doesn’t seem to work nearly as good as it did when we first got it. For sure it works though, my back pain and knee pain was turned down to maybe a 1 out of 10. During this time I went carnivore and that eliminated all pain and discomfort. Maybe my body is used to this style of grounding? I know when I walk in the grass, 90% of discomfort is gone nearly instantly. I do believe in this for sure. Everyone needs to try this.

Thank you for getting Clint on! It was a great episode. The power of grounding has literally been proven. Thanks Paul.

Beautiful stuff Paul! I have been doing this for 10 years. 75 years old and most people guess me to be mid fifties.

He's NOT a snake oil salseman. No one is forcing anyone to buy anything. He's done the work and has the knowledge to KNOW.

One of my favorite episodes, and thats really saying something as your vids are always amazing...Clint is the man! Been grounding for well over a decade now using his mats while I work during the day, and under my feet at night. Makes a huge difference. And of course I've always intuitively gone barefoot on the earth/sand as much as possible ever since I was a little kid.

Years ago I was out in my garden taking up pieces of carpets that the previous owner thought it would stop the weeds coming up. After finishing that I put my hands through the soil. It was an amazing feeling. I suppose I was grounding.

The biggest problem with grounding is finding decent products— that work. Many of the ones sold online (Amazon) don’t work. Laura Koniver’s stuff is excellent but I can’t find everything I need off her site. The copper sheets I use work great but have to be replaced once a year because they lose conductivity, so products need to be affordable.

I've been following PS for 5 years now and I think a good combo of both food and earthing would be the answer for healing and health. I loved this podcast, thanks so much for Clint's and Paul's insight.

I had bad sciatica pain for five years relief with 800 ibuprofen a little. I started grounding and got instant effects. I have no sciatic pain. It’s just unbelievable.

Dr. Paul, I am calling on you to create the SOF-MOF diet (Seed Oil Free, Meat Organs Fruit). You have changed my life by showing me the benefits of eating whole foods, my health has radically improved!
