This is the story of my personal journey from pain, illness, fatigue and sleep problems to vibrant health. The discovery that gave me my life back is now improving the lives of thousands of others.

In 1993, after a violent injury, I spent over 5 years experiencing debilitating pain and inflammation, fatigue and sleep problems. Nothing in my 20-year career in healthcare prepared me for this devastating struggle. (I had been a medical social worker, audiologist and healthcare administrator.) Trying to get well became the focus of my life, a devastating unending struggle of going from one practitioner or treatment to another. Like Humpty Dumpty in the nursery rhyme, ‘All of the king’s horses and all the king’s men could not put me back together again’. Unable to work, I found myself drawn to lying in the grass or walking barefoot on the beach. I would later learn why my body instinctively craved this connection to the earth.

In 1998, I had a life-changing experience. A friend gave me an early prototype of an earth conductive bed pad, (which was then known as the Earth Tether). This allowed me to re-connect to the earth at night, the most important time for the body to repair itself. Within a short time my pain, fatigue, and sleep problems were gone. Just like that! After years of pills and costly treatments had failed, all I did was lie down on my bed and sleep! I had spent untold thousands of dollars trying to get my health back, and then, this several hundred-dollar gift, and no effort on my part, gave me the relief I was seeking!

Compelled to learn more about this amazing discovery, now known as Earthing^TM, I have spent the past 8 years as a researcher studying its effects. Earthing^TM refers to methods that enable our bodies to be connected to the earth. This allows the earth’s electrical field and other natural influences that have been an integral part of life’s evolutionary process to flow to our bodies, as nature always intended.

Even though I published the first peer-reviewed research study in Earthing^TM, and participated in conducting additional studies, which form the foundation of this technology, I was initially skeptical.

Over time, I began to see that my personal experiences were being repeated in research study subjects and by hundreds of people who reported similar experiences of improved sleep, more energy, and decreased pain. Additionally, several research study subjects reported that longstanding symptoms of chronic inflammatory conditions were decreased in days and/or weeks, (Please note that individual experiences may vary).

And, it has been so exciting to watch healthy people, including elite athletes, perform even better with the help of Earthing^TM products. They were even used by Lance Armstrong and the American team in the tour de France bicycle race, the world’s most grueling sports event.

I believe our bodies have the ability to recover from almost any condition if we relieve imbalances caused by stress. To do this, we must provide our bodies with essential natural elements, including clean air, proper nutrition and pure water, and the missing link, our connection to the natural electrical rhythms of the earth. This connection may be even more important than we previously recognized.

How many people do you know who have sleep problems, stress, chronic pain or inflammatory conditions such as arthritis or fibromyalgia? Living in our modern world places stress on our bodies, and stress causes illness. We have been separated from an important source of balance and renewal, the earth’s natural electrical environment.

I love re-connecting to the earth because it’s totally natural, it feels good, and after experiencing it, many people report they can’t imagine life without it. One Earthing^TM research study subject reported, ‘It feels like lying in the arms of my mother’.

P.S. How am I feeling now? Amazing. I am happy to report that the years since I began sleeping Earthed^TM have been the most healthy and vibrant of my life. I often work and play very long hours, and feel better than I did 20 years ago!
