THE effects of grounding earthing on inflammation the immune response wound healing and prevention and treatment of chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases

IF this actually works and for all the 14 pages expended trying to explain it I still do not see a cause and effect that is explainable via the grounding effect.  THEN our doctors should be clamoring to prove its applicability to reducing the inflammation in our arteries. Our thousands and thousands of neurologists and cardiac doctors should all come to the same conclusion. But that would mean that these articles refuting  earthling are incorrect:

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.

Have at it apologists, with quoted research linking cause and effect directly.

Earthing as a stroke/heart attack preventer

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.

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.

Earthing (grounding) the human body reduces blood viscosity – a major factor in cardiovascular disease

You'll have to read this one, its hilarious.

Previous studies demonstrated that conductive contact of the human body with the surface of the earth has beneficial effects on various cardiovascular risk factors. This study examined effects of a 2-hour earth connection on the electrical charge (Zeta potential) on red blood cell (RBC) membranes. Ten healthy adults were grounded with conductive patches on the soles of their feet and palms of their hands. Wires connected the patches to a stainless steel rod inserted in the earth outdoors. Small fingertip pinprick blood samples were placed on microscope slides and an electric field was imposed on them. Electrophoretic mobility of the RBCs was determined by measuring the terminal velocities of the cells in video recordings taken through the microscope. RBC aggregation was measured by counting the numbers of clustered cells in each sample. Earthing or grounding increased zeta potentials in all samples by an average of 2.70, and reduced RBC aggregation. (150 words in abstract)

Key Words: Earthing, grounding, anticoagulants, blood flow, circulation, coagulation, inflammation, cardiovascular disease.
