Pain & Inflammation

Pain is one of those nasty things that can stop us in our tracks and make life very unpleasant as well as keep from enjoying our family, friends and even affect our livelihood  - it's debilitating and no one wants it, however, many people are suffering today needlessly as Earthing, which is natural, easy to do and with no side effects, may dramatically help reduce pain and even wipe it out for good in some cases.  How can it do that you may ask?

If you have chronic pain (persisting for a long time or constantly recurring) you have chronic inflammation.   The immune system is constantly producing free radicals eating up the body. Earthing is basically grounding the free radicals, giving them an electron from an alternative source, rather than a healthy cell - so that shuts down the damage to the healthy tissue, which shuts down the immune response and then healing can occur.  

The bottom line is we are grounding free radicals and the body heals and repairs itself.  For chronic inflammation it is best to sleep grounded with an Earthing Sleep System and work or rest grounded with an Earthing Universal Mats - the more you can do it the better!

DISEASE	HEALTH EFFECTS
ALLERGIES	Inflammation messengers stimulate the release of histamine, leading to allergic reactions.
ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE	Inflamed brain tissues develop plaque; chronic inflammation kills brain cells.
AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS (ALS)*	Damage to motor neurons causes the body to launch an overzealous inflammatory counterattack, killing the motor neurons.
ANEMIA	Inflammatory messengers attack red blood cell production.
ARTHRITIS	Chronic inflammation destroys joint cartilage and inhibits the release of lubrication and cushioning fluid in the joints.
ASTHMA	Inflammation leads to blocking of the bronchial passages.
AUTISM	Brain inflammation is present in most autistic children.
CANCER	Inflammation contributes to free radicals, tumour growth and inhibits the body’s defence against abnormal cells
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE	Inflammation causes thick, unhealthy blood and arterial disease, leading to blockage and plaque and increased risk of dangerous clots in the blood vessels that feed the heart and brain; inflammation also damages heart valves.
DIABETES, TYPE 1 & 2	Type 1 diabetes, inflammation induces the immune system to destroy pancreatic beta cells; type 2 diabetes, fat cells cause the release of inflammatory messengers, leading to insulin resistance.
FIBROMYALGIA	Inflammatory compounds present in the body at an elevated level.
COMMON INTESTINAL DISORDERS	Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel, diverticulitis, and other intestinal problems involve inflammation that causes pain, interference with digestion and assimilation of nutrients, and damage to the sensitive lining of the digestive tract.
KIDNEY FAILURE	Inflammation restricts circulation and damages kidney cells that filter blood.
LUPUS	Inflammatory compounds spark an autoimmune attack.
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS	Inflammatory compounds attack the nervous system.
PAIN	Activation of pain receptors, transmission and modulation of pain signals, and hypersensitivity of the nervous system are all one continuum of inflammation and the inflammatory response.
PANCREATITIS	Inflammation induces pancreatic cell injury.
PSORIASIS AND ECZEMA	Inflammation-based skin disorders.
SURGICAL PROBLEMS	Excess inflammation can prolong healing.
*ALS is often called Lou Gehrig’s disease	***Extract from the Earthing Book 2nd Edition
