Grounding Yourself to the Earth, with Clinton Ober

Grounding Yourself to the Earth, with Clinton Ober

Episode 312:

Clint Ober is the innovator behind the Grounding Movement and author of Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever? and the CEO of EarthFX Inc., a Palm Springs research and development company.

 

A series of seemingly unrelated yet highly synchronistic events dating back to his early childhood led to a groundbreaking discovery that many have called The Most Important Health Discovery of all time. Grounding has now become a massive international movement — causing people to shed their shoes and reconnect electrically to the surface of the Earth.

 

He first learned about grounding when installing Cable TV systems in Billings, Montana in the early 1960s. A decade later, he formed Telecrafter Corporation and built it into the largest provider of cable installation services in the United States. This company specialized in proper grounding of cable installations for safety and TV signal stability.

 

Following a major health challenge in 1995, he retired and embarked on a personal journey looking for a higher purpose in life. During his travels, he noticed people wearing plastic and rubber soled shoes that insulate the body from earth. He wondered if no longer being naturally grounded could affect us. The question led to an experiment that suggested grounding alone reduced chronic pain and improved sleep.

 

Thereafter, he developed a working hypothesis: Grounding the human body to the Earth normalizes the functioning of all of the body's systems — the body utilizes the earth’s electrical potential and free electrons to maintain its internal electrical stability, normalizing all of its self-regulating and self-healing systems.

 

Over the past twenty years, Clint’s work has catalyzed many of the over 20 research studies that have been published on the extensive health benefits of grounding, which have shown impressive improvements in…

  • Inflammation
