- From Amadeus and an accidental removal of his sandals provided him with the opportunity to enjoy the miracle beneath his feet, Mother Earth! His battle with depression dramatically changed in one night from grounding. Watch his journey on YouTube.
- From Elisha C, 36, Delray Beach, Florida (2020): “For the last 3 years, I’ve been on an anti-depressant and anxiolytic for postpartum depression and PTSD. My hair had been falling out and no matter what I did my weight kept creeping up. Each time I tried to stop I had to increase the dose. About 2 months ago during this Coronavirus pandemic, I watched the Earthing movie at the recommendation of my psychotherapist. “I had tried on two previous occasions to wean off the meds, but to no avail. I had started my third attempt at weaning off but was concerned I wouldn’t be able to push through yet again. “After watching the film, my entire family starting practicing earthing for 30 min a day just putting our bare feet in the grass in our yard. We also purchased Earthing sheets. After 3 weeks I was completely off of the anti-depressant! A month later and I’ve lost 3 lbs not changing a thing. I’m sleeping better, I’m happier and more present for my family. “I attribute this newfound success and joy to simply keeping my bare feet on the ground and sleeping grounded. I am very grateful.”
- From Annalee in Boise, Idaho (2019): “Earthing helped me get completely off my anti-depressant, has taken my back pain away that I’ve had for over 10 yrs and has given me and overall sense of peace that I can’t explain. It makes sense that our bodies are batteries and need recharged. The Earth is just a big charger that we need to plug into to get recharged. I’ve been doing it about 3 weeks, making a point to get out and walk barefoot every day and lay on the grass. I’ve been doing it daily for at least 45 minutes at a time. I have missed a day here and there because I get busy but I notice when I do miss a day I don’t feel as good. I was very skeptical going into it but I can’t deny the positive changes I’ve experienced. My body is craving that energy I can’t explain it.”
- From a paramedic in North Carolina (2018): “It may sound crazy, but it looks like I have eliminated my depression with Earthing. I started sleeping on a grounding mat four months ago, and not only did I sleep better, but found that I could cut down and eliminate my `anti-depressant medication (which I had taken for about 2 years). I was able to cut down without having any of the depression and suicidal ideation that I had when I tried to reduce medication before .“I tried previously to cut down numerous times. What would happen is that I would always lose interest in the things I like. I would think about suicide passively (“wouldn’t it be nice if I died”) and, on three occasions, I actually attempted to take my own life. The first time was by running my car in my garage. The second time I brought a personal-sized charcoal grill into my car, set it in my back seat, lit the charcoal, then closed all the windows and doors while I sat in the front. Another time I tried with an overdose of heroin. I had never done heroin before or after. “Within two weeks of starting grounding, I tapered down from about 100mg of medication a day to 0 mg a day. I was cautiously hopeful and wanted to see what would happen. This time it was different. Nothing happened, other than me feeling normal. “When I ground myself, I find I am able to get to sleep within minutes instead of much longer, and sleep deeply through the night. Before I would often have to read an audio book or do something to keep me entertained while I lay back and tried to allow myself to fall asleep.”
- From Karen Ball, 63, massage therapist, Beaverton, OR: “I hadn’t realized how depressed I was until after I started Earthing and having a growing sense of well- being and return to health. It is a wonderful feeling. I can do so much more now, although I am aware of my limitations. If I do too much or eat too much bread, then I can only get about 4 hours of sleep. That used to be my maximum but not enough to lose weight. I love the fact that my maximum is my minimum now. My capacity keeps growing and the improvements continue. Clearly the more time I spend Earthed, the better I feel.”
- “I started doing the earthing because I was actually quite depressed while living in a Northern coastal city where the weather didn’t suit me. A social worker who knew about your book recommended that I put my feet in the sand. It was really cold at the time (winter time) and I resisted the idea. So she said, just do it for a few minutes. So I went to the beach heavily dressed for the winter and did this for many months. I felt happier and happier and had more energy as well. I ended up moving away, but I haven’t stopped doing the earthing. I have the mat. On a few occasions, I left it at work and couldn’t sleep without it. So I know it’s doing something for me.”
- “I’ve been grounding for a couple of years, sleeping with my feet on a grounding mat. I used to suffer all winter with Seasonal Affective Disorder. I took Vitamin D3 and that made a little difference but not that much. This winter I was happy all along until the connection came loose at the wall socket for two days. I felt like hell, the same hell I felt every winter since the 1940s. Then I discovered the disconnect, reattached the mat to earth ground and slept all night. The next morning I felt great! That’s an overnight cure of SAD, unheard of.”
