CHAPTER 6
The Original Anti-Inflammatory The Earth itself is the original anti-inflammatory. And the planet itself is the biggest electron donor on the planet. What does this mean to you? Just imagine negative-charged electrons, like a mighty unseen cavalry, galloping up through your body from the Earth and mopping up an outnumbered force of positive-charged inflammatory free radicals. Electron deficiency, created by a lack of grounding, is eliminated and a healing process unfolds. The inflammation, sickness, and pain in your body are but a manifestation—in large part or small—of an electron deficiency. The remedy is as close as the Earth you live on.

n 2000, Clint Ober was asked by a friend if he would ground an elderly gentleman who was bedridden with advanced rheumatoid arthritis. The man’s hands, elbows, and feet were grotesquely misshapen and inflamed. He was racked with pain and could hardly move and then only very slowly. He was receiving comfort and at-home support from hospice, the national organization that offers services to patients whose life expectancy is six months or less. Ober said he would come and see what could be done. It took three people to lift the man out of the bed in order to allow a conductive bed pad to be placed on it. The pad was then connected to a ground rod outside. About ten days later, Ober received a phone call from the man, asking if he could come over again. He said that a squirrel had eaten through the ground wire. 57
