    Any Grounding Experience?

    I'm finding a bit irritating to keep being pushed into explaining something that I don't 'own' simply because no-one else seems to read what people actually say before accusing them of ignorance or malpractice. So this does not imply any recommendation that what they say is convincing or...

    I have no idea what I'm measuring<g>. You are the one that understands electricity.

    Any Grounding Experience?

    Why not use one of their straps? If you are supposedly testing their theory, why not use their kit? Otherwise, as you say, you can't test it with a voltmeter and you are leaving an obvious hole in the test, as nobody can be certain that the equipment is really equivalent. I didn't say I...

    Any Grounding Experience?

    Glad you came back. I hadn't seen the grounding pillows, but I had actually wondered about making one. You wouldn't be trying to be grounded ^2! It is just what would work best for you. If you like to wear long thick pyjamas, you wouldn't make a good contact with the sheet, so the head might...

    UPDATE: We have a visitor...

    My cats have always specialised in catching mice and releasing them in my house. I see it as their plan to save having to go outside to hunt when it rains. One mouse took refuge inside the speaker of our hi-fi - I tried to tempt it out with a piece of cheese but left the room for a few moments...

    I use a Fitbit Flex - works very well, and has a nice interface.

    Any Grounding Experience?

    It seems that sarcasm is one of the elements of British English that doesn't transmit well<g>. Nuff said. Lives to lead and all that.

    Any Grounding Experience?

    <<Those who use lies to sell “grounding” products, perform a grave injustice to those who do benefit from grounding. >> Clearly, Sid, there are more transatlantic differences in language than I realised. To me, someone who uses lies to sell is a liar and a fraudster. To you, at least in...

    Any Grounding Experience?

    I hate to correct you again, Sid, but I did not suggest that you called me a liar. You did call the people who sell their grounding equipment liars, and it was that which I objected to. Personally, I think that goes beyond 'lively discussion'. As far as I can tell from dealing with them, they...

    Any Grounding Experience?

    Sid, i am not meaning to put words into your mouth. I don't know how to interpret statements like '(bare footing) cannot be associated with the false principles of grounding' and the suggestion that we should leave the subject and 'get back to barefooting' other than as suggesting that it is...

    Any Grounding Experience?

    Again, Sid, I can only point out that no-one on this thread has proposed any particular theory of how grounding might work, if it does. You do not attribute your quote so I can't check it out, (Edited as reading it on my phone I did not see that the sentence above contains a clickable link)...

    Any Grounding Experience?

    Sid, I appreciate that it must be a bore for a highly calibrated scientific mind to pay attention to what us little people have actually said, but I think if you go back and read the thread, you might notice that nobody is arguing for a particular explanation of 'how' grounding might work. In...

    Any Grounding Experience?

    There is also a problem with potential bias, that I can see, particularly since the results are subjective. Since you are doing this from a position of wanting to prove that grounding has no effect, it would be important to design the experiment so that your bias can't unintentionally skew the...

    Any Grounding Experience?

    I see a few problems with this scenario. For a start, it would be like me testing aspirin as a painkiller for headaches when I don't actually suffer from headaches. I would not feel any better on days when I took aspirin, but that wouldn't mean that someone who suffered from headaches would...

    Any Grounding Experience?

    Not actually the case, though, in that I did check that the sheet was working shortly after I got it and again each time after washing it. But, I'm not really bothered. If a cognitive error has made that much difference to my sleep, that's fine by me, though actually I have tried quite a number...

    Any Grounding Experience?

    Well, a few months on my sleep patterns are still radically better than before. It stopped working for me at one point so I tested the sheet with a voltmeter and discovered that it had developed a loose connection. I used to think it was the circling thoughts and worries that kept me awake, but...
