In a round-about way I saw this again
This site has all the buzz words you need to obsfucate any and all scientific claims. Have fun wading through it.
1. zeta potential
2. parasympathetic branch activity
3. free electrons
4. cortisol
and lots of other big words to confuse you and sound important. It intersperses real science with the rest of the stuff to have the free electrons from real science affect the woo they are peddling

A paragraph from there, picture at link, whoopee.
The pictures above show a person’s red blood cells before and after 2
hours of grounding. The cells below clearly demonstrate increased zeta
potential and decreased blood viscosity. Such significant changes in
blood after only 2 hours of grounding indicates that walking barefoot on
the earth’s surface for at least 2 hours a day (alternately, using an
Earthing device) may protect against cardiovascular events like heart
attacks or strokes. It follows, that sleeping at night while grounded
provides the greatest opportunity for blood thinning effects.
And more positive stuff from here;

Wow, argument from antiquity
I could use the same argument style to prove bloodletting, trepanation and leeches work.
For explanations of why this doesn't work.
1. The Red Flags of Quackery v2
2. Earthing: Medical Discovery or Quack Scam?
3.Earthing This is just one of many pseudosciences that fits into the “just make shit up” category.
4. Debunking Earthing The only thing that Earthing in itself seems to be is a bunch New Age woo and energy woo.
But don't listen to my opinion on this quackery, I'm sure there is real scientific research on this somewhere, the supporters will find it and use it in unnatural ways to say this works.
I look forward to the clinical trials that the earthing sellers will run to prove this works.
My god, cheap and easy prevention of 800,000 strokes a year in the US. Whats not to like? The government will throw money at them.
Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 28,972 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.
What this blog is for:
My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.
