Screening & Grounding
I have personally met Clint Ober and Dr. James Oschman and tried out the grounding sheets. I noticed the mixed comments left here, some had seen great improvements some have seen none. I have to tell you about some of my own discoveries:<br /><br />I sleep with a grounded metal screen underneath my bed since the late 1970s, after my mother had a dowser check her bedroom and where the dowser found a crossing of `water veins' (but could also be the Hartmann or Curry grids, discovered by physicians Dr. Ernst Hartmann and Dr. Manfred Curry) underneath the bed of my father who passed away due to stomach cancer in 1974. Since then I became interested in the subject dowsing. After meeting Clint Ober and Dr. James Oschman about 10 years ago, who promotes sleeping grounded, I experimented with batteries that I connected into the grounding circuit. When the negative pole was connected to the screen (or grounding mattress pad) and the positive pole of the batteries connected to ground, I, and a friend of mine who replicated my experiment, had severe nightmares. But with the positive pole connected to the screen or pad there was no ill effect and for us indistinguishable from just being grounded without any batteries.<br /><br />Very recently, a friend of mine asked me to shield his bed because he could not sleep. After putting aluminum fly mesh underneath his mattress and connecting a single 9 V battery, with the positive pole to the screen and the negative pole connected to the safety ground of the power outlet, he slept fine. He also experimented with the shielding and grounding. He unplugged the ground from the power plug, he removed the battery but kept the power plug in the socket so the aluminum screen was directly connected to the safety ground of the power plug, but only the combination with the battery gave him his needed sleep. I installed a screen at a bed of an elderly woman who has severe insomnia. Although this did not solve her insomnia, she reported that she felt like being inside a cocoon when she slept (using sleeping pills) with the screen (plus the 9 V battery and grounding). She also has a small grounding pad that she uses in addition to the screen but which is connected to the screen.<br /><br />So my recommendation here is to use this metal mesh shield (aluminum fly screen from Home Depot, for example) as described with a single 9 V battery in the ground loop TOGETHER with the grounding pad. But connect the grounding pad to the screen, so both are connected to the plus pole of the battery and the negative pole connected to the safety ground of the power plug (or into moist soil.)<br /><br />Regarding arthritis, I have read on many websites that it may be a dental issue, so-called 'cavitation' -  that is an old extraction site where the jaw bone was injured or tooth fragments remained. Also read up on root canal treated teeth, 'MMS', Miracle Mineral Supplement, MMS (Methylsulfonylmethan), and boron (or borax).
