Stay in experimentation mode
My husband checked continuity across the surface with an ohm meter and this well-made pad functions as claimed. Results, however, depend on many variables. I would just like to caution people not to succumb to expectations that their own experience will be as dramatic as cases cited in the book EARTHING or associated videos. Likewise don't deny yourself the possible measure of success that could be yours because others...even 'science-minded' others... challenge its efficacy. There is a common bias against newer science that does not comport with old science. We don't know everything there is to know about anything, and we are so uncomfortable with not knowing it is easy to shut down our minds when we get to that borderland of what could be. You know your body best. Stay open-minded and work with safe modalities that you are drawn to and decide for yourself on direct personal experience .<br /><br />My direct experience was after the 2nd or 3rd night of sleeping on this pad that the sore knots running down the outside of my thighs were only slightly tender by morning. They have been a chronic annoyance for years and they were sore again by the next evening but not quite as much as usual. I have lots of inflammatory issues... a collection I have accumulated over years. I expect reversals to take time and be measured rather than miraculous. The inflammation has to come down before the body's natural healing process has a chance. I'm giving it time and then I will add to my review.<br /><br />There is definitely a side effect that needs more recognition. After several days I felt so amped and antsy after 2 or 3 hours I had to get off of it. THIS IS COMMON! I contacted the manufacturer and was counseled to just moderate my grounding while my body adjusts. In 10 days I was getting a healthy duration of restful sleep and now the energized sensation is welcome because I get up feeling like I can take on the day's activities. Previously my body was so uncomfortable it could not relax enough for me to get any restorative sleep until the sun was coming up. I would get up feeling that I had hardly slept. These results are enough to keep me working with Earthing options.
