Hi All,

Has anyone here tried Earthing to help with their Lyme symptoms?  I would like to hear what your thoughts are.  I have a friend of the family (doesn't have lyme) and he and his wife swear by it.  They said it has helped with their sleeping and arthritis pain.

Thanks, KO

I haven't heard about this before, what is your impression of it, KO-LD? I'd even be interested in trying it, since I have known for a long time now that I actually have a need to dig in the dirt - which is why I have maintained a garden of varying sizes (depending on how I was doing that spring) through out my illness.

Hi Traveler,

My Mom's friend lent me his book on Earthing, I had already read some articles about it, but the book is really interesting.  I went outside and sat with my feet on the ground while I read.  I had the tingling in the soles of my feet that some people get.  I did notice that I didn't have much pain in my hips something that has been bad lately and I slept more soundly.  Coinsidence?  I am thinking about just getting the small mat to try I could use it in bed too it's small though someone said about the size  of a placemat.  I am going to continue to go outside and see what happens.

Hi KO-LD!
ACK!!
I'm not finding anything on Earthing that was uploaded very recently. Can you give me any more details so that I can find the right video? I'm very interested in how this might benefit those with Lyme specifically. If you are not comfortable with giving out any of those details on the forum, maybe you could email me?

Hi Traveler,

Try looking on YouTube for David Wolfe Earthing.  I don't think they mention Lyme and Earthing, but I know that it has helped me with my symptoms.  See my latest post about Earthing.

Take Care, KO

I am a sixty-five year old man. about four years ago I came down with this disease. just TODAY, as of this post, did I have a name for it! I was out walking in the snow and a woman and her dog joined me. She said something about not feeling to well. I asked if maybe it was her feet since she said she couldn't walk far. She said, "no, I have Lyme's disease!". I asked her to tell me what all her symptoms were and by the time she was done, I thought she was talking about me!!! I have been involved with meditation and getting plenty of rest but the one thing that made the over-riding difference has been "earthing/grounding!" I'm now entering my tenth consecutive month and know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the difference has been because of it. I also sleep with my head elevated 30 degrees to facilitate the clearing of edema from the head at night. See, "Get It Up," a book written specifically re this. It's been a long hard road but hang in there. Any questions I will answer.
