Trees We took voltmeters, put the “ground” lead into the ground, and stuck the “positive” lead into different parts of small trees. We broke the bark layer, so we could access the living, sappy part. In rough terms, we saw that the blood of the tree was about -200mV (negative) compared to the dirt. Spring is definitely here in the Boston area, though the trees only have buds. I will compare a hot summer day in a few months.
Hi Michael, your -200mV measurement jolted my memory regarding the Exclusion Zone (EZ) water Gerald Pollack and others have been studying. -200mV was about the maximum they got when measuring the voltage of EZ water near different hydrophilic surfaces, but that was with micro-electrodes and a distance of around a millimeter or less. It's interesting that humans and trees had the same -200mV measurement, but I'm not sure how scale plays into these findings if anyone has ideas. It'll be interesting to see results in the summer, when the ground may be much drier than it is now.
Right on Michael. we live on a small farm on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada Range. i spend as much time barefoot in the garden as possible. At 85 i am vigorous and wide awake. of course we are drinking good water and eating real food and our air is good more than half the time. Another benefit of grounding is that feet are unconfined and flexible. so ii have excellent balance. i used to wear expensive "lawyer loafers" and worked in tall buildings under high stress. needless to say, i'm much healthier now! Nicer too, i'm told..
At the other end of the body, wear a hat. Get active for awhile then close your eyes directing your attention to your head and take the hat off. i experience a rush of energy when i do that... A release. I love your mind Brother
It would be so interesting to know empirically what we’re giving up by not being “grounded” because of shoes and boots. For my part, the nostalgia from every time I went barefoot in a newly plowed field, or sunk my toes into wet sand at the beach is enough to draw me back again! Was it the novelty of basic sensations, or electrical “connection” with Mother Earth that put a smile on my face and etched a memory directly to my heart?
200mV for trees & people

this time of year is a good time to go out and plant the vegetables. Will be doing that.

What about aluminum ski poles with grounding tape on the handles, and bare aluminum tips?
My husband and son and I will do this experiment this weekend!
