00:00
talk about grounding a little bit and
00:02
we've talked to some other experts about
00:03
that as well what is it and is it
00:06
something that can be helpful for the
00:09
problem that we've talked about no like
00:10
that is electric to magnetic fields the
00:12
answer is yes absolutely
00:14
grounding is very beneficial in that
00:17
regard we're talking not about grounding
00:19
a person like you ground a house you
00:21
ground a house for safety the house has
00:24
to have two grounds the electrical
00:26
system of the house has two grounds one
00:28
is the system ground and the other is
00:29
the equipment ground and often one wire
00:32
serves both functions the system ground
00:34
grounds the electrical system into the
00:35
earth through earth rods through the
00:37
middle water pipe through the service
00:42
the neutral to the pole and then down
00:44
the earth the earth rod there and the
00:47
purpose of that is really one for one
00:50
thing only and that's for lightning to
00:51
get into the earth in a lightning strike
00:53
and also for over voltages if you have a
00:56
hot to ground fault it gets the
00:59
electricity into the earth so it doesn't
01:01
cause a fire of your wiring now the
01:05
equipment ground keeps the grounding
01:08
system and the and the plumbing and all
01:09
the grounding paths the metal air ducts
01:12
and other things in your house at the
01:14
same potential so that a breaker will
01:16
trip if you have a hot to ground fault
01:18
in your toaster you touch that and you
01:20
touch the metal water pipe but at the
01:22
kitchen at the same time so you don't
01:24
die that the breaker trips that's the
01:26
purpose of the equipment graph now we
01:29
don't want current to flow on the system
01:31
ground out to the transformer because it
01:33
will because in America they join the
01:35
neutral and ground at the point of
01:37
egress of electricity out of the house
01:39
now
01:40
when we're talking about grounding a
01:42
person really what we're talking about
01:44
it's earthing the person which is
01:46
different and I know that's been
01:47
explained to you most people in the
01:50
modern world are electron depleted and
01:53
electrons which have a negative charge
01:54
are actually beneficial for your health
01:56
and you have an abundance of DC so
02:01
called direct current negative ions at
02:03
the seashore waterfalls in forests and
02:07
in a home or an environment
02:10
built environment that has natural
02:11
fabrics so there is an aspect of our
02:13
work in the building biology profession
02:16
that talks about this sort of thing it's
02:19
not just all you know AC current and
02:23
mold we do talk about these other
02:25
influences as well so DC currents and DC
02:31
charges
02:33
you want generally in your in the in the
02:35
ions in your air your indoor air or
02:38
outdoor air that we are exposed to
02:40
generally one a balance of five to four
02:42
negative ions two positive ions a
02:44
negative ions come from natural fabrics
02:47
as I mentioned for draperies upholstery
02:50
carpeting and such we're not big fans of
02:52
carpeting actually and then the the
02:56
positive ions come from synthetic
02:57
fabrics and such now because we don't
03:02
walk barefoot in most of the country
03:04
California we can but you know and we
03:08
have a lot of slab on grade building
03:12
structures you know in our homes and
03:14
tile and concrete a color concrete on
03:16
slabs so your earth in your own home if
03:19
you live if you have that situation but
03:22
the most people have non conductive
03:27
soles on their shoes so they're not
03:30
getting the negative beneficial negative
03:32
ions that they should the the purpose of
03:34
the earthing pad is to do just that to
03:36
bring these negative ions from the earth
03:39
which is a big sink of ions a big supply
03:43
of negative beneficial negative ions
03:45
that has a lot of pressure to push it up
03:47
into those things that are devoid of
03:49
that it's all a matter of concentration
03:50
so if you stand on the earth and your
03:52
electron depleted those electrons are
03:54
going to go from the earth up into your
03:55
body if you lay on an earthing mat and
03:57
you have a cord going to a rod that we
04:01
that you stick into the earth rather
04:02
than the ground of the outlet in your
04:04
house we prefer the rod that you put in
04:07
the earth outside if you can do that
04:09
then those beneficial negative ions are
04:12
going to come up the cord and go into
04:14
your body when you're sleeping at night
04:15
replenishing the depletion of ions that
04:18
we
04:18
have that at state so that's called
04:22
earthing that's bringing these
04:23
beneficial ions from the ground up into
04:24
our bodies however if you're sleeping in
04:28
environment where you have these
04:29
negatively charged ions in the air from
04:35
electric fields from man-made
04:36
electricity from voltage in your
04:41
circuits then those ions are going to be
04:44
attracted by your body especially if
04:46
you're on an earthing Pat mat or pad and
04:48
drive and run down that pad in the
04:51
process called grounding and it's from
04:53
it's not from touching the actual
04:57
grounding you know the parts of the
05:00
grounding system is just the field but
05:02
still you now become a lightning rod or
05:04
an antenna for the the man-made voltage
05:07
to get into your body down this cord
05:09
into the earth and that's not healthy
05:12
and for that reason the entire building
05:14
biology profession in Germany has a
05:16
total ban on earthing pads they just
05:21
literally say don't ever use them
05:23
because you never know when this
05:24
phenomena is going to occur now in
05:26
America when we heard about that we said
05:27
well we understand that we respect that
05:30
and we agree with that but those of us
05:32
who understand this we we reduce the
05:36
electric field levels anyway even before
05:37
Clint Ober who developed the earthing
05:39
pad or thing that came to our conference
05:41
in Tucson five years ago to be one of
05:43
our workshop speakers and I sat right
05:45
next to when I said Clint
05:46
we're not going to use your mat to drop
05:48
our electric field levels as a strategy
05:51
for doing so because that current that
05:53
voltage excuse me is going to run
05:54
through the bodies and that's not
05:55
healthy but we already would drop the
05:58
man-made electric fields that's part of
06:00
our protocol and has been for for
06:02
decades and when you do that then you
06:05
have a situation where that is gone so
06:08
you let the man-made voltage is not
06:10
there or there to a very low degree then
06:13
you can add in the earthing mat and get
06:14
all the benefit from bringing those
06:16
beneficial negative ions in the earthing
06:18
process up the wire without having the
06:20
deleterious effect of having the
06:22
man-made voltage go through your body
06:23
into the earth the other way so that's
06:25
how we recommend using the earthing Pat
06:27
but not if you don't learn which
06:31
breakers you need to shut off
06:32
that's really done with the test at the
06:34
building biologist the building
06:35
biologists can perform I work with
06:38
people over the phone long distance in
06:40
the country throughout the US if they
06:43
don't have anybody local you can do that
06:45
and they get an expensive body voltage
06:48
meter and they can take the readings
06:49
under my guidance and then give me the
06:52
data and I tell them how to manage that
06:54
with an electrician or flipping off the
06:55
breakers I've done that for many people
06:58
around the country the other place where
07:01
this is important is that a computer if
07:04
you have a laptop that has a two prong
07:06
plug you go you're going to have an
07:08
ungrounded laptop and this is true for a
07:11
PC or a Mac there are ways in which you
07:13
can configure a Mac by pulling off the
07:15
cord from the white transformer and
07:18
sliding on that little attachment with
07:20
two blades that swing out then you push
07:22
the whole thing into the surge protector
07:24
and now you're ungrounded and you put
07:26
your hand on that or a PC that has a two
07:28
prong plug not a three prong plug and
07:29
you have monstrously high tremendously
07:33
high electric field levels that are very
07:34
draining and people say why am I so
07:36
tired sitting at my computer for a
07:38
couple of hours or 10 minutes why do I
07:41
feel a buzzing when I do that that's why
07:44
so we recommend three wire power cords
07:50
not putting your feet under noting that
07:52
because now that voltage is going to go
07:54
through your body there are others who
07:56
recommend that they actually have a way
07:58
of measuring with the body voltage meter
08:00
look at how high these are but look how
08:02
low the number goes when you put your
08:04
feet on an Earthling mat and put your
08:05
hand on your keyboard but they're
08:07
missing the point that this is not
08:09
healthy because you're now providing a
08:10
path for your body because now you know
08:13
you have you understand that the
08:15
principles so so instead we say ground
08:18
the computer not the person to begin
08:21
with get that computer grounded that's
08:24
the solution and then you can have an
08:26
earthing pad for the benefits that that
08:28
provides but I go to great links to
08:30
produce the electric fields from all
08:31
sources where people sit I'll move
08:33
chords away I'll have them get a little
08:36
shutoff switch from the hardware store
08:38
for five dollars they plug into their
08:39
surge protector for the shredder and the
08:42
pencil sharpener because that's an
08:43
unshielded two prong cord with
08:46
and 62 their body or their legs and it's
08:48
putting out a field which you don't need
08:50
to be exposed to so flip it off down
08:52
there and only turn it on when you need
08:54
to use that scanner or shredder and then
08:56
flip it off down here so you don't have
08:58
to plug and unplug it and then you want
09:02
to get a shielded cord for your tower if
09:06
you have a PC desktop PC and you can
09:10
pull the plug the cord out from the back
09:12
and it has that configuration with the
09:13
three slits on it you can take that to
09:15
RadioShack or do it online and I have
09:17
the part number it's 6-1 - 206 and you
09:20
can say I want a shielded cord instead
09:22
of a regular one as an aluminum sheeting
09:24
on the inside no electric field and I
09:27
said why'd you guys develop this they
09:28
said well be to keep the interference
09:30
from a CB radio and the truck are going
09:33
by showing up on my listen coming up on
09:36
the speakers of the computer so these
09:39
are technologies and protocols and
09:41
practices that we follow to reduce the
09:43
electric field exposure to keep your
09:45
energy up when you're at your computer
09:47
so there is a company pronto charger
09:51
comm that will sell you a replacement
09:54
power supply that's three pronged and
09:58
you just tell them what make and model
09:59
of laptop you have for a PC and they'll
10:02
do that way
10:10
you
