I didn't feel anything after a while so I had to check. Sure enough, it wasn't. I realized that this is also something I can objectively feel. Also, it makes sense that the blood flow they tested works. I have more libido after keeping my body at a constant capacity. It does make sense that earthing has potential to effect the body because of the nature changing electric charges are elementary to chemical reactions which are fundamental to blood function.AreMyCommentsVisibleGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05465551680297948434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934313418859465616.post-56905170484741199232015-04-03T03:07:35.638-04:002015-04-03T03:07:35.638-04:00Actually the Expanding Earth theory has a multitud...Actually the Expanding Earth theory has a multitude of supporting evidence for it, you have to remove the caveat that it had to be CONTINUOUSLY expanding, thoughrodinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15893035888964367277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934313418859465616.post-54019678148371650942015-03-28T07:39:01.894-04:002015-03-28T07:39:01.894-04:00jay and vincent, COMPLETELY missing the point. ad...jay and vincent, COMPLETELY missing the point. adorable. <br />you'll notice that KEY fact about the farmer KNOWING which seeds were roundup ready and intentionally keeping them for selling. <br />but please, continue focusing on how they got pollinated, it's so fucking adorable.

Amazing how people hear or watch things on TV and swear it is all true because it was on TV right there in front of them. <br />Do your own research and question everything. These idiots on ancient aliens are just taking something spiritual and inserting alien in the same text. If you look at all of this in the context of the battle in heaven, fallen angels, nephilim, flying beings were not gods but those who were cast out and yes they had super powers to build things and fly. God brought the great flood because earth was a total mess. That is why we are digging up old cities, pyramids, great structures, and artifacts.it all fits perfectly.

I can't tell you if "earthing" or "grounding" actually has an effect on inflammation, but from my little experience with chemistry I don't understand the author's claim that we can't receive energy from the earth. We are constantly transferring energy between our bodies and the earth and many other objects/people. Static electricity is just one simple example. I know everyone reading this had experienced a static electricity shock, so to claim that you haven't received energy from the earth is asinine. jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03761571527790665797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934313418859465616.post-80706575525557549692015-02-15T01:49:33.158-05:002015-02-15T01:49:33.158-05:00If you are scientifically illiterate, everything i...If you are scientifically illiterate, everything is magic and plausible. longplainfirstnationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15643016639893356363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934313418859465616.post-38119878050137054882015-02-14T12:16:21.098-05:002015-02-14T12:16:21.098-05:00Alex Jones is probably more SANE than most of the ...Alex Jones is probably more SANE than most of the SHEEPLE who refuse to belief that the USA government isn't "there to help them" and that Obama is not in fact the Messiah. Nations arise, they often achieve great societies, and then they decline from corruption, subversion, propaganda, out of control war mongering, greed, crime, immorality and outright perversion, all of which is eating away the very fabric of the American soul. Jones is like the Blue Jay of the forest who has gotten winds of deadly machinations and mayhem...and is squawking and screaming loudly while trying to warn all others of something very wrong and dangerous stalking the fields around us. Sometimes he seems unhinged and off of his rocker, but he does have a track record of being right on the money of pointing out trends, conspiracies and illegal activities. When anyone immerses themselves into a world of digging through the cover-ups. lies, corruption, and machinations of those in powerful positions who also govern, he or she will make many enemies, and those powerful people will wage an all out psy-ops war to discredit the one with the Spot Light aimed at them. Jones certainly has made many enemies, just as Glenn Beck has. Beck has had something happen to him because he has toned down his rhetoric tremendously since the second inauguration of Obama. He's not anything like the fiery Beck back in the early 2000's. He has serious health issues afflicting him and his doctors and wife Tonya have probably told him he has to de-stress ten fold, or he isn't going to be around in ten years. The Mormon church too probably has had something to do with his change of programming approach. It is my belief, that Jones is probably heading for self destruction mentally, because no one can keep up the pace and out rage like he is, and expect to come out of the other end whole. All of his exotic nutriment supplements in the world aren't going to stave off the inevitable. I think Jones has less than five years left in him, and he's toast.BioSphereMindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01319177557951975628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934313418859465616.post-5388573228124996112015-01-29T04:04:35.757-05:002015-01-29T04:04:35.757-05:00Lol you sound like a government troll.

Animals particularly prone to sunburn include hairless mammals such as humans, pigs, rhinos, elephants, hippos, whales, etc. Most mammals have adapted protection or learned behaviour to help minimize sunburns. For example, pigs, and some groups of humans, smear mud on themselves to minimize sunburns. Elephents learn from a young age to throw sand on themselves in order to block out the sun, and elephant moms will shade their offspring with their own body. There have been reports of elephants separated from other members of their species at a young age not learning this adaptive behaviour. Thus, they experience sunburns more frequently. Whales that spend too much time at the surface of the water can also experience sunburning. Dogs with thin coats will also experience burning with prolonged exposure to sunlight. Giraffes have adapted black tongues to minimize sunlight, and certain humans have dark skin for this same reason - in both instances the giraffe and the human live in areas where they get more exposure to sunlight and increased levels of melanin protects both animals. This is why the sun poses such a threat to individuals with albinism. This is undergraduate level stuff.

You say, "Human beings do not receive energy from the Earth, and there are no studies that show this. In fact, other then from eating and drinking food, we can't receive energy by any actual means." I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "actual means," but I think you mean through the skin and other tissues (other than sunlight). On the other hand I do believe we can receive electromagnetic energy, hence the concern about cell phones and living near power lines. Does the earth produce its own electromagnetic energy? I think so. What'e your evidence for your claims? You refer to the "placebo" effect. Have there been studies on this subject, which have been verified through clinical trials with the technology in question AND placebos that show there is no difference between subjects using this technique and those not using it? Can you please cite those studies? Otherwise, your skepticism is founded on a similar lack of reason. I would like to know if "Earthing" is effective or not, and am looking for real science one way or the other, not just opinion. Thank you.
