arctic ice.
6
00:00:11,034 --> 00:00:12,965
The scientific
explanation is that they
7
00:00:13,068 --> 00:00:14,931
are caused by
material thrown off
8
00:00:15,034 --> 00:00:20,448
by the sun colliding withthe atmosphere of the Earth.
9
00:00:20,551 --> 00:00:22,931
And when it comes to
the moon, I was always
10
00:00:23,034 --> 00:00:26,724
captivated by the fact thatwe can only see one side of it
11
00:00:26,827 --> 00:00:28,000
from Earth.
12
00:00:28,103 --> 00:00:31,724
The other side has only beenvisited and photographed
13
00:00:31,827 --> 00:00:34,000
from spacecraft.
14
00:00:34,103 --> 00:00:36,448
But the moon, like
the northern lights,
15
00:00:36,551 --> 00:00:39,068
has a complex relationshipwith the earth,
16
00:00:39,172 --> 00:00:41,034
as does the universe.
17
00:00:41,137 --> 00:00:45,344
Science continues to discovermore about that astounding
18
00:00:45,448 --> 00:00:49,551
interconnectedness, an theinterconnectedness that
19
00:00:49,655 --> 00:00:53,620
affects the tides, the
weather, the seasons,
20
00:00:53,724 --> 00:00:57,241
every aspect of life
we take for granted,
21
00:00:57,344 --> 00:00:59,965
right down to the
blood in our veins.
22
00:01:03,931 --> 00:01:07,965
The forces of nature, nomatter how seemingly random,
23
00:01:08,068 --> 00:01:12,551
from storm clouds and lightningto blowing snow and high winds,
24
00:01:12,655 --> 00:01:16,758
ultimately determine
our well-being.
25
00:01:16,862 --> 00:01:21,068
All of nature's forces giftthe surface of the earth
26
00:01:21,172 --> 00:01:22,793
with subtle energy.

with Howard Straus.
31
00:04:18,413 --> 00:04:19,896
>> We have Clint Ober.
32
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,172
Now, Clint Ober started
out his career writing
33
00:04:23,275 --> 00:04:27,586
on the rising popularity
of cable television,
34
00:04:27,689 --> 00:04:29,448
but he wasn't very happy.
35
00:04:29,551 --> 00:04:32,896
And from that dissatisfaction,from that unhappiness
36
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,344
with his personal achievementand his goals and his--
37
00:04:37,448 --> 00:04:40,482
what he felt like he
was doing for the world,
38
00:04:40,586 --> 00:04:44,862
he has made one of the
most significant health
39
00:04:44,965 --> 00:04:47,068
discoveries of all time.
40
00:04:47,172 --> 00:04:48,448
>> Pretty far-fetched,
I thought,
41
00:04:48,551 --> 00:04:51,034
but something to consider whiledealing with the cold reality
42
00:04:51,137 --> 00:04:51,827
of the day.
43
00:04:51,931 --> 00:04:54,103
35-below wind chill.
44
00:04:54,206 --> 00:04:56,586
Does the sink work?

20-below zero sittingovernight, couldn't use this.
46
00:05:02,241 --> 00:05:05,068
Oh, dear.
47
00:05:05,172 --> 00:05:07,172
But the more I thought
about that internet show
48
00:05:07,275 --> 00:05:09,206
with its elevated
message, perhaps there
49
00:05:09,310 --> 00:05:10,862
was some truth to it--
50
00:05:10,965 --> 00:05:12,758
greatest health discovery ever.
51
00:05:12,862 --> 00:05:13,758
OK.
52
00:05:13,862 --> 00:05:16,896
When you're in physical
pain like I was,
53
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,758
you tend to look
closer at your options
54
00:05:18,862 --> 00:05:21,482
for some kind of relief.
55
00:05:21,586 --> 00:05:23,275
This was a winter like no other.
56
00:05:23,379 --> 00:05:25,517
44 feet of snow fell in total.
57
00:05:29,172 --> 00:05:32,448
There's a reason why I
feel crappy today, yeah?
58
00:05:36,448 --> 00:05:39,965
>> Oh, can you help me carrysome pieces of firewood?
59
00:05:43,482 --> 00:05:46,000
>> The workload wasdaunting and unrelenting.
60
00:05:46,103 --> 00:05:48,448
My back muscles
kept me in agony.
61
00:05:48,551 --> 00:05:50,586
My frozen hands stayed numb.
62
00:05:54,275 --> 00:05:57,172
Here's a fence.
63
00:05:57,275 --> 00:06:00,413
It's an 8-foot high fence,but as you can see--
64
00:06:03,655 --> 00:06:05,827
I take care of
orphaned wildlife.
65
00:06:05,931 --> 00:06:08,310
Their lives fare much betterin the brutal season compared
66
00:06:08,413 --> 00:06:11,137
to their wild counterparts.
67
00:06:11,241 --> 00:06:13,655
You might have wondered whatthat greatest health discovery
68
00:06:13,758 --> 00:06:16,758
pronouncement made on
that internet show was.
69
00:06:16,862 --> 00:06:20,137
It is called earthing, whichrefers to the recent uncovering
70
00:06:20,241 --> 00:06:23,448
of the fact that major
health benefits result
71
00:06:23,551 --> 00:06:26,793
from contact with the
Earth's energy field
72
00:06:26,896 --> 00:06:29,689
by walking barefoot.
73
00:06:29,793 --> 00:06:34,448
Wearing conductive footwear,such as leather, also works.
74
00:06:34,551 --> 00:06:38,172
But because I was desperate, Iwent for the whole treatment,
75
00:06:38,275 --> 00:06:42,068
from head to toe, regardlessof the temperature.
76
00:06:45,517 --> 00:06:47,862
After about 20
minutes of lying naked
77
00:06:47,965 --> 00:06:51,103
on the bare earth inbelow-freezing temperatures,
78
00:06:51,206 --> 00:06:53,724
a wave of calm had come over me.
79
00:06:53,827 --> 00:06:56,931
And I felt warm and tingly.
80
00:06:57,034 --> 00:07:00,137
The next morning
something was missing.
81
00:07:00,241 --> 00:07:04,310
It was the pain in myback, and both of my hands
82
00:07:04,413 --> 00:07:07,206
were no longer numb.
83
00:07:07,310 --> 00:07:08,862
This was crazy.
84
00:07:08,965 --> 00:07:10,413
How could this have occurred?
85
00:07:10,517 --> 00:07:12,275
Was it my imagination?
86
00:07:12,379 --> 00:07:14,000
Did I simply tell
myself the pain
87
00:07:14,103 --> 00:07:16,655
would go away if I touchedthe earth, and by doing so,
88
00:07:16,758 --> 00:07:17,827
it would?
89
00:07:17,931 --> 00:07:22,310
I decided to try a
different method.
90
00:07:22,413 --> 00:07:24,896
Of course, I didn't want tostay connected to the earth
91
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,827
by lying outside in the cold.
92
00:07:26,931 --> 00:07:29,517
Since earthing or groundingis all about soaking up
93
00:07:29,620 --> 00:07:31,241
the earth's free electrons.
94
00:07:31,344 --> 00:07:34,379
All I needed to do was sticka grounding rod into the earth
95
00:07:34,482 --> 00:07:38,862
and bring the energy
right into the cabin.
96
00:07:38,965 --> 00:07:41,068
And while I was at
it, why not start
97
00:07:41,172 --> 00:07:43,827
an experiment to see if thismagic works on other living
98
00:07:43,931 --> 00:07:45,068
things.
99
00:07:45,172 --> 00:07:48,620
And so I also cut two sprigsof a cottonwood sapling,
100
00:07:48,724 --> 00:07:51,379
grounding one and not the otherto see if it would influence
101
00:07:51,482 --> 00:07:53,275
the sprouting of the buds.
102
00:07:53,379 --> 00:07:56,275
This, I thought, would
be the litmus test.
103
00:07:56,379 --> 00:07:59,000
But, hey, why stop
with cottonwood trees.
104
00:07:59,103 --> 00:08:02,172
It was almost Valentine'sDay, and my helper, Rocky,
105
00:08:02,275 --> 00:08:05,068
delivered ideal additionalspecimens for my experiment.
106
00:08:07,689 --> 00:08:08,379
>> Thank you.
107
00:08:12,862 --> 00:08:15,448
>> I put the first batch oflilies in the new workshop
108
00:08:15,551 --> 00:08:18,689
edition, which were not groundedto the earth and even added
109
00:08:18,793 --> 00:08:21,310
the stuff that comes withstore-bought flowers to give
110
00:08:21,413 --> 00:08:25,655
them a longer shelf life, theother batch for the grounding
111
00:08:25,758 --> 00:08:27,482
experiment.
112
00:08:27,586 --> 00:08:29,862
But the next morning
after sleeping grounded,
113
00:08:29,965 --> 00:08:31,517
something else was happening.
114
00:08:31,620 --> 00:08:34,000
I noticed I wasn't grindingmy teeth in my sleep anymore
115
00:08:34,102 --> 00:08:34,793
either.
116
00:08:37,931 --> 00:08:40,655
Things started coming intofocus rapidly after that.
117
00:08:40,758 --> 00:08:42,965
The cottonwood sprig thatwas in the grounded vase
118
00:08:43,068 --> 00:08:46,241
sprouted before the other one.
119
00:08:46,344 --> 00:08:49,068
And then the verdict was
in between the grounded
120
00:08:49,172 --> 00:08:50,965
and ungrounded lilies.
121
00:08:51,068 --> 00:08:53,793
Guess which lily kept
its pedals the longest?
122
00:08:57,448 --> 00:09:01,000
The grounded, lily, of course.
123
00:09:01,103 --> 00:09:03,793
All the ungrounded liliesin the new workshop edition
124
00:09:03,896 --> 00:09:06,034
had long been dead.
125
00:09:06,137 --> 00:09:07,689
It is a moment like
this that you just
126
00:09:07,793 --> 00:09:09,103
want to jump on
your snow machine
127
00:09:09,206 --> 00:09:12,103
and get to the first person youcan think of who is suffering,
128
00:09:12,206 --> 00:09:13,965
who might really
take you seriously.
129
00:09:14,068 --> 00:09:17,206
That person was my associate,Mario Benassi, and then
130
00:09:17,310 --> 00:09:19,724
my helper, Rocky, caught
an internet discourse
131
00:09:19,827 --> 00:09:22,206
between two celebrity doctorsabout this earthing discovery.
132
00:09:22,310 --> 00:09:23,551
>> I gotta say--
133
00:09:23,655 --> 00:09:25,724
I think a lotta folks willsay this is where Dr. Mercola,
134
00:09:25,827 --> 00:09:28,413
he fell off the
wagon on this one.
135
00:09:28,517 --> 00:09:29,241
What?
136
00:09:29,344 --> 00:09:30,068
Who's doing this?
137
00:09:30,172 --> 00:09:31,413
And who gave you this idea?
138
00:09:31,517 --> 00:09:33,241
>> Well, it's because-- it'snot simply walking barefoot.
139
00:09:33,344 --> 00:09:35,206
It's walking-- the
devil's in the details.
140
00:09:35,310 --> 00:09:38,034
It's walking barefoot
on the earth.
141
00:09:38,137 --> 00:09:40,620
And the earth is a massivesource of free electrons.
142
00:09:40,724 --> 00:09:43,137
and when you do that, theseelectrons go into your body.
143
00:09:43,241 --> 00:09:46,206
>> So my mother-in-law hasbeen torturing me about this.
144
00:09:46,310 --> 00:09:48,551
She's been talking aboutwalking barefoot outside, which
145
00:09:48,655 --> 00:09:51,827
I thought was just a scamto get me out of the house.
146
00:09:51,931 --> 00:09:55,448
>> Meantime, my associate
Mario had some news.
147
00:09:55,551 --> 00:09:56,965
>> I didn't really
think it was true.
148
00:09:57,068 --> 00:09:59,137
I didn't want to
believe it at first.
149
00:09:59,241 --> 00:10:00,344
>> But it's the truth.
150
00:10:00,448 --> 00:10:02,862
He hasn't been snoringfor the last three nights.
151
00:10:02,965 --> 00:10:05,103
>> Now I don't hear
him snore at all.
152
00:10:05,206 --> 00:10:07,344
>> After an initial
email, Clint Ober,
153
00:10:07,448 --> 00:10:10,344
the man who discovered groundingor earthing for modern man,
154
00:10:10,448 --> 00:10:12,413
contacted me.
155
00:10:12,517 --> 00:10:13,931
I explained to him
how many people
156
00:10:14,034 --> 00:10:15,827
I knew were suffering
in our community.
157
00:10:15,931 --> 00:10:18,034
He responded with this box.
158
00:10:18,137 --> 00:10:21,310
From then on, all he had todo was disseminate information
159
00:10:21,413 --> 00:10:23,034
and put together
resources to anyone
160
00:10:23,137 --> 00:10:25,172
I knew that would benefit.
161
00:10:25,275 --> 00:10:26,275
Word's getting out.
162
00:10:31,482 --> 00:10:32,724
Tim, are you there?
163
00:10:32,827 --> 00:10:34,068
Now, you're in pain, ay?
164
00:10:34,172 --> 00:10:35,586
>> I am, always.
165
00:10:35,689 --> 00:10:36,758
>> What's the matter?
166
00:10:36,862 --> 00:10:37,724
>> Ruptured disc.
167
00:10:37,827 --> 00:10:38,931
>> So you're in always pain.
168
00:10:39,034 --> 00:10:39,724
>> Always.
169
00:10:39,827 --> 00:10:40,517
>> Take this.
170
00:10:45,896 --> 00:10:47,068
Hi, you're here.
171
00:10:47,172 --> 00:10:49,206
So I just bumped into you.
172
00:10:49,310 --> 00:10:51,793
Local business owners
took this seriously.
173
00:10:51,896 --> 00:10:53,793
My reputation and
hunch about grounding
174
00:10:53,896 --> 00:10:56,172
was now open to public scrutiny.
175
00:10:56,275 --> 00:10:58,517
Either this was going tochange the community of Haines,
176
00:10:58,620 --> 00:11:02,103
Alaska, or I'd be thelaughingstock of the town.
177
00:11:02,206 --> 00:11:04,793
Alaskans, it seems,
are skeptical by nature
178
00:11:04,896 --> 00:11:06,241
and quite opinionated to boot.
179
00:11:06,344 --> 00:11:07,931
>> Show me a better
way; I'll do better.
180
00:11:08,034 --> 00:11:09,896
>> I'm saying, Steve, that youshould just take this thing
181
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,034
and run with it and get itout to the public as fast
182
00:11:12,137 --> 00:11:14,827
as possible to as many
people as possible.
183
00:11:14,931 --> 00:11:18,448
>> So a concept I
hadn't considered--
184
00:11:18,551 --> 00:11:22,482
so whether it makes senseor not, who's to say?
185
00:11:22,586 --> 00:11:25,034
But I did crawl
underneath the house
186
00:11:25,137 --> 00:11:29,896
and get naked and lay on theearth for about 20 minutes,
187
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
and I felt better.
188
00:11:32,103 --> 00:11:35,482
Why would the local doctorbe so underwhelmed by this?
189
00:11:35,586 --> 00:11:37,793
Uh-oh, something happened here.
190
00:11:41,758 --> 00:11:45,206
>> [inaudible] and I'll tellyou how dang good I feel without
191
00:11:45,310 --> 00:11:48,172
any back problems whatsoever.
192
00:11:48,275 --> 00:11:48,965
>> Really?
193
00:11:49,068 --> 00:11:51,068
Has your back gotten better?
194
00:11:51,172 --> 00:11:54,379
>> I have absolutely nopain in my back whatsoever.
195
00:11:54,482 --> 00:11:57,068
>> And how long have you hadthis back pain prior to meeting
196
00:11:57,172 --> 00:12:00,551
on this earthing thing?
197
00:12:00,655 --> 00:12:02,862
>> 20 years.
198
00:12:02,965 --> 00:12:04,379
Day to day was a struggle.
199
00:12:04,482 --> 00:12:05,448
>> Oh, my goodness.
200
00:12:05,551 --> 00:12:07,379
>> Every day was a
struggle to get through.
201
00:12:07,482 --> 00:12:08,965
Oh, we got in the truck.
202
00:12:09,068 --> 00:12:10,931
Well, the wolf will like that.
203
00:12:11,034 --> 00:12:13,241
>> Almost everyone was
being transformed, some,
204
00:12:13,344 --> 00:12:14,448
literally overnight.
205
00:12:14,551 --> 00:12:16,551
So I placed calls
with people at NASA
206
00:12:16,655 --> 00:12:19,517
for support in making this film.
207
00:12:19,620 --> 00:12:25,724
>> Hey, Steve [inaudible] I tryto not get involved in any way
208
00:12:25,827 --> 00:12:28,689
with things that I
don't understand,
209
00:12:28,793 --> 00:12:33,068
I don't really know what
to think about them.
210
00:12:33,172 --> 00:12:35,068
So I just can't do it.
211
00:12:35,172 --> 00:12:38,482
I hope that this turnsout to be a breakthrough.
212
00:12:38,586 --> 00:12:40,931
Good luck to you, Steve.
213
00:12:44,448 --> 00:12:45,310
>> Stop.
214
00:12:48,862 --> 00:12:55,241
I got a message
from an astronaut.
215
00:12:55,344 --> 00:12:57,862
He turned me down.
216
00:12:57,965 --> 00:12:58,862
He said it's too crazy.
217
00:13:01,586 --> 00:13:03,275
What do you think?
218
00:13:03,379 --> 00:13:05,206
Should I give up?
219
00:13:05,310 --> 00:13:08,448
>> No.
220
00:13:08,551 --> 00:13:09,517
>> Why?
221
00:13:09,620 --> 00:13:11,206
Nobody's going to believe this.
222
00:13:11,310 --> 00:13:12,310
>> Believe what?
223
00:13:12,413 --> 00:13:14,517
>> Believe that this works.
224
00:13:14,620 --> 00:13:18,206
>> Well, he's not theonly person in the world.
225
00:13:18,310 --> 00:13:21,517
>> Well, he's a man
to walk on the moon.
226
00:13:21,620 --> 00:13:23,482
He's pretty important.
227
00:13:23,586 --> 00:13:27,896
>> So just because he turnedyou down doesn't mean that are
228
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,068
people won't believe in it.
229
00:13:30,172 --> 00:13:32,620
>> Nobody believes in this stuffmuch you get a famous person
230
00:13:32,724 --> 00:13:37,137
to talk to and at least givetheir opinion, don't you think?
231
00:13:37,241 --> 00:13:39,206
>> No.
232
00:13:39,310 --> 00:13:41,000
It's the everyday
Joe that's going
233
00:13:41,103 --> 00:13:44,655
to need this more than you guythat's got millions of dollars.
234
00:13:44,758 --> 00:13:46,896
>> I've been a
filmmaker for 30 years,
235
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,275
mainly for the likes
of National Geographic.
236
00:13:49,379 --> 00:13:52,103
If there ever was a film thatI needed to make about nature,
237
00:13:52,206 --> 00:13:53,793
this one was it.
238
00:13:53,896 --> 00:13:57,275
We started to do more researchand met earthing advocates
239
00:13:57,379 --> 00:13:59,068
including Clint Ober himself.
240
00:13:59,172 --> 00:14:01,551
>> [inaudible] is
laying on the earth,
241
00:14:01,655 --> 00:14:02,827
just laying down on the earth.
242
00:14:02,931 --> 00:14:03,758
You don't have to be naked.
243
00:14:03,862 --> 00:14:04,896
You're touching the earth.
244
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,793
If you can take your
shoes off, that's great.
245
00:14:06,896 --> 00:14:10,827
It's like, no amount of
Advil or Motrin or Aleve
246
00:14:10,931 --> 00:14:15,758
can do the anti-inflammatorypower that the earth can.
247
00:14:15,862 --> 00:14:18,413
>> I'm using part of myparka here so we can see you.
248
00:14:18,517 --> 00:14:20,344
>> I don't know, is my
coat sliding down on--
249
00:14:20,448 --> 00:14:22,344
>> It's just the connection'sjust barely there.
250
00:14:22,448 --> 00:14:24,137
>> OK, barely there.
251
00:14:24,241 --> 00:14:25,965
All right, if a raven
flies by and sits
252
00:14:26,068 --> 00:14:28,137
on a branch in the hemlockright here it's going to--
253
00:14:28,241 --> 00:14:29,517
I'm going to lose you.
254
00:14:29,620 --> 00:14:32,586
Our first Skype meeting withearthing discoverer, Clint Ober
255
00:14:32,689 --> 00:14:35,793
and assistant Dr. Christyresulted in another shipment
256
00:14:35,896 --> 00:14:37,724
of boxes of information
and resources
257
00:14:37,827 --> 00:14:41,896
to continue to
ground our hometown.
258
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,379
The deeper question
needs to be asked.
259
00:14:44,482 --> 00:14:47,862
>> If there is a message at allabout earthing, it really is--
260
00:14:47,965 --> 00:14:49,689
it's not about
bed pads and wires
261
00:14:49,793 --> 00:14:51,103
and all that kind of stuff.
262
00:14:51,206 --> 00:14:56,551
It's more about our connectionwith nature, with the planet,
263
00:14:56,655 --> 00:14:57,862
with the universe.
264
00:14:57,965 --> 00:15:01,931
You know, we invented plasticsin '57, I think Dupont.
265
00:15:02,034 --> 00:15:06,172
And it started entering
the market in the '60s.
266
00:15:06,275 --> 00:15:08,551
The first thing we
did with plastics
267
00:15:08,655 --> 00:15:11,965
is we put them on the
soles of our shoes.
268
00:15:12,068 --> 00:15:14,551
>> It always amazes me howmuch insight and wisdom can be
269
00:15:14,655 --> 00:15:16,413
deciphered from
observing nature.
270
00:15:16,517 --> 00:15:19,551
This wold I live with
named Isis was also
271
00:15:19,655 --> 00:15:22,448
raised with the help of myveterinarian, Dr. Vic Walker.
272
00:15:22,551 --> 00:15:25,137
Until this moment, Dr.
Walker had no knowledge
273
00:15:25,241 --> 00:15:27,103
of what was happening
regarding earthing
274
00:15:27,206 --> 00:15:30,241
and my involvement with it.
275
00:15:30,344 --> 00:15:32,620
>> >> They have powerful
jaws, don't they?
276
00:15:32,724 --> 00:15:34,172
They're barefoot, essentially.
277
00:15:34,275 --> 00:15:36,931
You're my vet, veterinary--
278
00:15:37,034 --> 00:15:40,034
sanctioned by the state ofAlaska to look over the animals
279
00:15:40,137 --> 00:15:41,034
here and everything.
280
00:15:41,137 --> 00:15:42,931
You love this wolf?
281
00:15:43,034 --> 00:15:44,275
>> Oh, yes.
282
00:15:44,379 --> 00:15:46,758
>> At this moment, Dr. Walkerrevealed the chronic pain
283
00:15:46,862 --> 00:15:50,482
and stress his wife was
currently going through.
284
00:15:50,586 --> 00:15:54,586
So she deals with inflammationand pain, is that right?
285
00:15:54,689 --> 00:15:56,482
>> Yes.
286
00:15:56,586 --> 00:15:57,379
>> Give her this.
287
00:15:57,482 --> 00:15:58,344
>> What's this, Steve?
288
00:16:03,137 --> 00:16:06,275
>> Not a day went by that Iwasn't amazed with reports from
289
00:16:06,379 --> 00:16:07,862
people in our town.
290
00:16:07,965 --> 00:16:10,310
As hints of spring
began to become evident,
291
00:16:10,413 --> 00:16:13,689
I kept a close eye on the snowlines for the first opportunity
292
00:16:13,793 --> 00:16:17,034
to become emancipated
from footwear.
293
00:16:17,137 --> 00:16:20,206
With the longer days andwarm winds, one of the family
294
00:16:20,310 --> 00:16:23,551
decided to suddenly wake upafter months of hibernation.
295
00:16:23,655 --> 00:16:26,655
Her name is Kitty, afive-year-old grizzly bear,
296
00:16:26,758 --> 00:16:29,827
orphaned as a cub and givento me by the state of Alaska
297
00:16:29,931 --> 00:16:34,172
to take care of for
the rest of her life.
298
00:16:34,275 --> 00:16:36,793
Here's another creaturegifted with the extension
299
00:16:36,896 --> 00:16:41,068
of the senses we seem to havelost or never attained, living
300
00:16:41,172 --> 00:16:44,655
by voices we shall never hear.
301
00:16:44,758 --> 00:16:48,241
The weakening of the bearalso awakened something in me,
302
00:16:48,344 --> 00:16:51,172
something that said howbeautiful the natural cycle
303
00:16:51,275 --> 00:16:55,275
of life is, how precise rhythmicpatterns of the earth work,
304
00:16:55,379 --> 00:16:57,379
and how the hum of
the earth is in sync
305
00:16:57,482 --> 00:17:00,206
with the moon and the
forces beyond that,
306
00:17:00,310 --> 00:17:02,689
how beautiful it all is.
307
00:17:02,793 --> 00:17:05,103
[music playing]
308
00:17:14,448 --> 00:17:18,275
And this is where this
film takes another turn.
309
00:17:18,378 --> 00:17:22,000
While tossing frozen salmon outof the freezer for the bear,
310
00:17:22,103 --> 00:17:24,723
I realized that my
assistant was right.
311
00:17:24,827 --> 00:17:27,275
The astronaut that turneddown involvement on this movie
312
00:17:27,378 --> 00:17:29,551
project was not the
only human to set foot
313
00:17:29,655 --> 00:17:30,931
on the lunar surface.
314
00:17:31,034 --> 00:17:32,344
12 of them did.
315
00:17:32,448 --> 00:17:34,931
And now two were suddenlywilling to contribute
316
00:17:35,034 --> 00:17:36,896
their time to this movie.
317
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,275
We were set to meet
on a Florida beach.
318
00:17:39,379 --> 00:17:41,344
By the time I arrived
with the film crew
319
00:17:41,448 --> 00:17:44,965
in Cape Canaveral, Florida,it all became dreamlike.
320
00:17:45,068 --> 00:17:46,724
It was here where
I was going to meet
321
00:17:46,827 --> 00:17:49,379
Laura Koniver, a medical
doctor who was going
322
00:17:49,482 --> 00:17:51,862
to help with these interviews.
323
00:17:51,965 --> 00:17:55,275
>> There's three rooms
under Richard Smith.
324
00:17:55,379 --> 00:17:56,655
>> Richard Smith?
325
00:17:56,758 --> 00:17:59,655
Would you like a groundedor non-grounded room?
326
00:17:59,758 --> 00:18:00,724
>> What?
327
00:18:00,827 --> 00:18:02,724
>> Smoking or non-smoking?
328
00:18:02,827 --> 00:18:04,724
>> Oh, non-smoking.
329
00:18:04,827 --> 00:18:07,689
>> The film crew couldn't resistletting the hotel receptionist
330
00:18:07,793 --> 00:18:10,137
in on the subject matter
of this documentary.
331
00:18:10,241 --> 00:18:13,413
But it did plant a seed
of an idea in my mind
332
00:18:13,517 --> 00:18:15,586
to share with the motel
owner back in Alaska.
333
00:18:23,482 --> 00:18:26,068
A far cry from my first
earthing experience,
334
00:18:26,172 --> 00:18:29,103
there was a very comfortableway for civilized people
335
00:18:29,206 --> 00:18:32,793
to receive the same earth energyin the form of a conductive bed
336
00:18:32,896 --> 00:18:35,517
sheet.
337
00:18:35,620 --> 00:18:37,931
Life's an adventure.
338
00:18:38,034 --> 00:18:40,620
So I went out--
339
00:18:40,724 --> 00:18:44,379
But who do I have to thankfor this chance introduction?
340
00:18:44,482 --> 00:18:47,965
None other than our belovedrooster Squawkee Laura
341
00:18:48,068 --> 00:18:50,655
was about to help
me meet two people
342
00:18:50,758 --> 00:18:52,379
with a unique perspectiveabout the Earth.
343
00:18:52,482 --> 00:18:56,172
>> [inaudible] Dr, Mitchell,I know that you experienced
344
00:18:56,275 --> 00:18:58,586
a really intimate moment whereyou felt interconnected with
345
00:18:58,689 --> 00:18:59,827
everything, even in space.
346
00:18:59,931 --> 00:19:02,482
>> OK.
347
00:19:02,586 --> 00:19:03,862
There was no script
for this shoot
348
00:19:03,965 --> 00:19:05,827
and, of course, none
of this was staged.
349
00:19:05,931 --> 00:19:08,862
I had my film crew fromNational Geographic, Laura,
350
00:19:08,965 --> 00:19:10,655
and her family,
and a strong desire
351
00:19:10,758 --> 00:19:12,413
to document different
perspectives
352
00:19:12,517 --> 00:19:14,551
about the earth,
its healing power,
353
00:19:14,655 --> 00:19:17,413
and the interconnectednessof all life therein.
354
00:19:17,517 --> 00:19:20,965
>> And I remember I watched youdescribe a moment where this
355
00:19:21,068 --> 00:19:22,655
just hit you, just
washed over you.
356
00:19:22,758 --> 00:19:25,482
You had this moment where youfelt interconnected to not just
357
00:19:25,586 --> 00:19:27,379
the earth, but the
stars, everything.
358
00:19:27,482 --> 00:19:31,758
>> That's exactly-- experiencingthat particular phenomena.
359
00:19:31,862 --> 00:19:33,724
I didn't know what to
call it at that point.
360
00:19:33,827 --> 00:19:37,896
Cultures are rooted in thistype of a unity experience.
361
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,586
It says everything is
all interconnected.
362
00:19:39,689 --> 00:19:41,310
>> Here's a gift for you.
363
00:19:41,413 --> 00:19:42,965
>> And after
listening to what Dr.
364
00:19:43,068 --> 00:19:46,068
Mitchell shared andbefore we ran out of time,
365
00:19:46,172 --> 00:19:49,448
I had one chance to give himthe same tools for connecting
366
00:19:49,551 --> 00:19:51,793
to the earth just like
everyone back home.
367
00:19:56,379 --> 00:19:58,448
>> 1130--
368
00:19:58,551 --> 00:20:00,586
>> Laura was now speakingwith Charlie Duke,
369
00:20:00,689 --> 00:20:04,931
the 10th man to walk on the moonon Apollo 16 and the director
370
00:20:05,034 --> 00:20:09,241
in Houston to guide Apollo 11and Neil Armstrong to become
371
00:20:09,344 --> 00:20:11,965
the first man to walk
on the lunar surface.
372
00:20:12,068 --> 00:20:15,551
>> Mode control both auto --
373
00:20:15,655 --> 00:20:17,931

- Tranquility Base here.
374
00:20:18,034 --> 00:20:19,379
The Eagle has landed.
375
00:20:19,482 --> 00:20:22,551
>> OK, they want to know, howexcited were you when you met
376
00:20:22,655 --> 00:20:24,068
your first footstep on the moon?
377
00:20:24,172 --> 00:20:26,896
>> Well, I was
like a little kid.
378
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,482
>> Charlie Duke also did
this interview barefoot.
379
00:20:29,586 --> 00:20:32,448
He too understood that theground beneath our feet
380
00:20:32,551 --> 00:20:35,310
is a natural treatment
table for what ails us.
381
00:20:35,413 --> 00:20:38,724
He saw it all as
intelligent design.
382
00:20:38,827 --> 00:20:41,379
>> Now I look back
on my adventure,
383
00:20:41,482 --> 00:20:44,310
and there's a psalm that saysthe heavens declared the glory
384
00:20:44,413 --> 00:20:47,344
of god and the skies proclaimthe works of his hand.
385
00:20:47,448 --> 00:20:48,655
And it is not an accident.
386
00:20:48,758 --> 00:20:51,758
It is not a chance.
387
00:20:51,862 --> 00:20:54,931
It's just an orderly
universe that we see.
388
00:20:55,034 --> 00:20:58,931
And the planets and theirforces and the stars
389
00:20:59,034 --> 00:21:01,344
and all of the
physical laws that
390
00:21:01,448 --> 00:21:03,724
are so repeatable over
and over and over,
391
00:21:03,827 --> 00:21:06,344
and I see god's hand in that.
392
00:21:06,448 --> 00:21:09,379
>> Laura had a deep knowledgeof how grounding works.
393
00:21:09,482 --> 00:21:11,275
She had no reservations
in inviting you
394
00:21:11,379 --> 00:21:15,000
back to her home in Charleston,South Carolina to explain
395
00:21:15,103 --> 00:21:15,793
all this.
396
00:21:23,551 --> 00:21:26,724
It was in Dr. Koniver's homethat I could see her vision
397
00:21:26,827 --> 00:21:29,517
and understanding about
how earthing works
398
00:21:29,620 --> 00:21:32,000
and what it can do for humanity.
399
00:21:37,724 --> 00:21:39,620
But then she didn't stop there.
400
00:21:39,724 --> 00:21:41,448
It seemed there was
this inner drive
401
00:21:41,551 --> 00:21:43,448
to suggest this
comprehensive healing
402
00:21:43,551 --> 00:21:48,068
modality through her manypainted creations, so
403
00:21:48,172 --> 00:21:51,931
profound, yet so simple thateven a preschooler could
404
00:21:52,034 --> 00:21:53,413
comprehend.
405
00:21:53,517 --> 00:21:56,931
Dr. Koniver was very much awareof the scientific research
406
00:21:57,034 --> 00:21:59,931
conducted over the past
15 years on earthing.
407
00:22:00,034 --> 00:22:02,241
She believes the
future of health care
408
00:22:02,344 --> 00:22:05,620
will be vastly different forher children because of it.
409
00:22:05,724 --> 00:22:08,862
Before I left, she agreed todo more research on earthing
410
00:22:08,965 --> 00:22:12,172
with her own patients.
411
00:22:12,275 --> 00:22:15,551
Arriving home, I was relievedthat my assistant, Rocky Seward
412
00:22:15,655 --> 00:22:16,896
had kept everyone happy.
413
00:22:26,344 --> 00:22:28,758
In my hometown,
there continued to be
414
00:22:28,862 --> 00:22:31,448
profound and
life-impacting reports.
415
00:22:31,551 --> 00:22:33,620
At the Eagle
Foundation, for example,
416
00:22:33,724 --> 00:22:35,827
there was Dave
Olerud, who had been
417
00:22:35,931 --> 00:22:38,793
a paraplegic for
30 years in a state
418
00:22:38,896 --> 00:22:41,896
of unimaginable
suffering, barely able
419
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,793
to twitch his toes until now.
420
00:22:46,896 --> 00:22:48,793
He had only been
grounded a month.
421
00:22:48,896 --> 00:22:51,275
[music playing]
422
00:23:22,896 --> 00:23:24,413
>> Thanks for the
moose branches.
423
00:23:24,517 --> 00:23:25,206
>> You're welcome.
424
00:23:25,310 --> 00:23:27,517
>> You're going to help me--
425
00:23:27,620 --> 00:23:28,620
what's that?
426
00:23:28,724 --> 00:23:32,620
>> That's grounding
things from a lady,
427
00:23:32,724 --> 00:23:37,310
she feels bad because she--
428
00:23:37,413 --> 00:23:39,310
too well, or she'll
loose her disability.
429
00:23:42,862 --> 00:23:43,758
It's OK?
430
00:23:52,793 --> 00:23:54,620
>> But then there
was Rocky himself,
431
00:23:54,724 --> 00:23:58,482
a man who lives a hard lifeand sort of is homeless,
432
00:23:58,586 --> 00:24:01,724
who sleeps in his truck eachnight until I invited him
433
00:24:01,827 --> 00:24:03,655
to stay with me in the cabin.
434
00:24:03,758 --> 00:24:06,586
[snoring]
435
00:24:16,137 --> 00:24:18,344
There was no way I wouldever get a good night's sleep
436
00:24:18,448 --> 00:24:21,000
with that type of situation
happening on the couch
437
00:24:21,103 --> 00:24:23,000
4 feet away from my bed.
438
00:24:23,103 --> 00:24:25,758
The next night Mr. Seward agreedto allow me to hook him up
439
00:24:25,862 --> 00:24:28,482
to the earth in an experiment.
440
00:24:28,586 --> 00:24:30,620
He had nothing to lose,
really, since he'd never
441
00:24:30,724 --> 00:24:34,068
gotten a true night's sleepanyway due to waking up choking
442
00:24:34,172 --> 00:24:35,275
and with a headache and more.
443
00:24:46,517 --> 00:24:47,793
You guessed it.
444
00:24:47,896 --> 00:24:50,862
He never snored again.
445
00:24:50,965 --> 00:24:53,344
[music playing]
446
00:25:11,896 --> 00:25:13,896
>> My associate Mario
rendezvoused with me
447
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,068
at a street corner inVancouver to meet this host.
448
00:25:17,172 --> 00:25:22,551
His name is Dr. David Suzuki,
but who is he, really?
449
00:25:22,655 --> 00:25:26,310
>> He's probably one of themost well-known scientists
450
00:25:26,413 --> 00:25:28,586
of our age.
451
00:25:28,689 --> 00:25:31,344
He's a national hero in Canada.
452
00:25:31,448 --> 00:25:36,344
And he's probably one ofthe most eminent ecologists
453
00:25:36,448 --> 00:25:39,689
that people recognize.
454
00:25:39,793 --> 00:25:41,379
>> Do you think I
should tuck my shirt in?
455
00:25:41,482 --> 00:25:44,206
>> Yeah, maybe.
456
00:25:44,310 --> 00:25:45,000
>> [inaudible]
457
00:25:45,103 --> 00:25:45,793
>> Hi.
458
00:25:45,896 --> 00:25:47,068
Glad to meet you.
459
00:25:47,172 --> 00:25:50,068
>> I've been following yousince I was a little kid.
460
00:25:50,172 --> 00:25:51,172
>> Where are you now?
461
00:25:51,275 --> 00:25:52,241
>> Well, I live in Alaska.
462
00:25:52,344 --> 00:25:53,068
>> In Alaska.
463
00:25:53,172 --> 00:25:55,172
>> Outside of Haines, Alaska.
464
00:25:55,275 --> 00:25:56,517
And this is Mario Benassi.
465
00:25:56,620 --> 00:25:57,344
>> Hi.
466
00:25:57,448 --> 00:25:58,034
>> --an associate of mine.
467
00:25:58,137 --> 00:25:59,413
>> Nice to meet you.
468
00:25:59,517 --> 00:26:02,137
>> We used to shoot for PBSand all these different things,
469
00:26:02,241 --> 00:26:04,275
nature shows.
470
00:26:04,379 --> 00:26:06,103
Between the two of
us, I don't think
471
00:26:06,206 --> 00:26:08,137
we've ever been so
tongue-tied to meet you.
472
00:26:08,241 --> 00:26:09,000
>> Come on.
473
00:26:09,103 --> 00:26:09,517
>> [inaudible]
474
00:26:09,620 --> 00:26:10,206
>> Come on.
475
00:26:10,310 --> 00:26:10,896
Let's go out there.
476
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,034
>> OK, you lead the way.
477
00:26:16,206 --> 00:26:17,793
>> So you haven't
visited this place?
478
00:26:17,896 --> 00:26:19,103
>> I have never been here--
479
00:26:19,206 --> 00:26:21,724
I explained to Dr. Suzukihow our town was benefiting
480
00:26:21,827 --> 00:26:23,931
from earthing and
asked if he thought
481
00:26:24,034 --> 00:26:25,793
reconnecting to the
Earth's energy field
482
00:26:25,896 --> 00:26:27,034
would be beneficial.
483
00:26:27,137 --> 00:26:28,413
>> Absolutely.
484
00:26:28,517 --> 00:26:32,793
We need to be connected withthe earth, which gave us birth.
485
00:26:32,896 --> 00:26:35,586
The moment I was born, I
needed a breath of air,
486
00:26:35,689 --> 00:26:38,137
as did everyone else
and from that time,
487
00:26:38,241 --> 00:26:40,827
to the last breath we
take before we die,
488
00:26:40,931 --> 00:26:43,724
we need air 15 to
40 times a minute.
489
00:26:43,827 --> 00:26:45,206
That's nature, man.
490
00:26:45,310 --> 00:26:47,482
We take air into our bodies.
491
00:26:47,586 --> 00:26:51,310
We fuse with it and pump
it through our system.
492
00:26:51,413 --> 00:26:52,241
We are air.
493
00:26:52,344 --> 00:26:53,344
We are water.
494
00:26:53,448 --> 00:26:55,931
70% of my body is water,
for heaven's sakes.
495
00:26:56,034 --> 00:26:58,931
And we leak it all the timethrough our skin and our eyes
496
00:26:59,034 --> 00:27:00,137
and our nose and our crotch.
497
00:27:00,241 --> 00:27:03,103
And we lose water, and wehave to keep topping up.
498
00:27:03,206 --> 00:27:04,793
That water comes from
all over the world.
499
00:27:04,896 --> 00:27:07,068
We are a part of nature.
500
00:27:07,172 --> 00:27:09,034
That's what we are.
501
00:27:09,137 --> 00:27:12,034
But we think that
we've grown so smart
502
00:27:12,137 --> 00:27:15,586
and that we can actually
pump nature up and get
503
00:27:15,689 --> 00:27:17,034
it to yield even more.
504
00:27:17,137 --> 00:27:18,275
Cut the trees down.
505
00:27:18,379 --> 00:27:20,448
We'll genetically modify
and genetically alter
506
00:27:20,551 --> 00:27:22,241
trees so they grow faster.
507
00:27:22,344 --> 00:27:24,068
Of course, the quality
of the wood is crap.
508
00:27:24,172 --> 00:27:27,965
But we think that
we can grow trees
509
00:27:28,068 --> 00:27:31,551
as if they're corn or tomatoplants, which is absurd,
510
00:27:31,655 --> 00:27:32,965
of course.
511
00:27:33,068 --> 00:27:37,172
We have now become the mostnumerous mammal on the planet,
512
00:27:37,275 --> 00:27:41,172
but we're not like wildebeestor mice or caribou.
513
00:27:41,275 --> 00:27:44,482
We are endowed with huge
amounts of technology,
514
00:27:44,586 --> 00:27:49,344
a consumptive appetite
that is insatiable,
515
00:27:49,448 --> 00:27:52,482
and we are trashing
the planet as a result.
516
00:27:52,586 --> 00:27:54,517
And we're trashing our home.
517
00:27:54,620 --> 00:27:55,965
It's our home.
518
00:27:56,068 --> 00:27:58,517
>> We were fortunate enough onthis journey to meet historian
519
00:27:58,620 --> 00:28:01,758
Freddy Silva who clearlyunderstood the earth's energy
520
00:28:01,862 --> 00:28:04,965
fields from the perspectiveof the intuitions of ancient
521
00:28:05,068 --> 00:28:06,241
people.
522
00:28:06,344 --> 00:28:07,965
>> What is it that you aredoing that brought you out
523
00:28:08,068 --> 00:28:10,551
to the West Coast
here of Canada?
524
00:28:10,655 --> 00:28:13,931
>> I work with ancient
systems of knowledge.
525
00:28:14,034 --> 00:28:17,482
I'd look at and research
how the ancestors worked
526
00:28:17,586 --> 00:28:19,448
and build temples
around the world,
527
00:28:19,551 --> 00:28:23,241
look at the ways in whichthey develop common attitudes
528
00:28:23,344 --> 00:28:25,413
to developing
consciousness and then
529
00:28:25,517 --> 00:28:27,275
find that there
are commonalities
530
00:28:27,379 --> 00:28:29,000
between these
points of view that
531
00:28:29,103 --> 00:28:31,620
are shared by differentcultures around the world.
532
00:28:31,724 --> 00:28:34,275
>> Mr. Silva pointed outthat earthing is not a new
533
00:28:34,379 --> 00:28:39,000
discovery, just a rediscovery ofwhat the ancients already knew
534
00:28:39,103 --> 00:28:42,413
would help them to heal.
535
00:28:42,517 --> 00:28:45,689
I was now literally connectedto the earth almost 24/7.
536
00:28:45,793 --> 00:28:48,172
The remarkable way
I was being affected
537
00:28:48,275 --> 00:28:50,896
made me ponder that mostpeople in modern societies
538
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,000
are almost never in direct
contact with the Earth's
539
00:28:53,103 --> 00:28:54,137
surface.
540
00:28:54,241 --> 00:28:56,379
No wonder so many people
walk around fat, sick,
541
00:28:56,482 --> 00:28:57,172
and nearly dead.
542
00:29:00,137 --> 00:29:02,965
Sometimes nothing preparesus for the devastating stress
543
00:29:03,068 --> 00:29:05,724
and emotional upheavals thatcan lay claim to your life.
544
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,551
The first thing grounding doesis calm the nervous system.
545
00:29:13,655 --> 00:29:16,379
It soothes the left
side of the brain
546
00:29:16,482 --> 00:29:18,517
and synchronizes the
right and left brain.
547
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,931
Where I found pain relief wasto do what the ancients did,
548
00:29:28,034 --> 00:29:30,965
immerse myself unclothed
into the earth.
549
00:29:31,068 --> 00:29:34,310
It's like throwing bucket ofwater on a fire as opposed
550
00:29:34,413 --> 00:29:35,689
to using just a cup.
551
00:29:35,793 --> 00:29:38,586
More exposed skin allows
the earth's electrons
552
00:29:38,689 --> 00:29:41,655
to flow into one with muchmore volume and intensity.
553
00:29:50,724 --> 00:29:53,620
An event was taking place now.
554
00:29:53,724 --> 00:29:57,275
It involved grounding 1,000people all at the same time
555
00:29:57,379 --> 00:29:59,758
during a 70-minute
presentation organized
556
00:29:59,862 --> 00:30:03,827
by Clint Ober, the discovererof earthing for modern man.
557
00:30:07,206 --> 00:30:10,689
First, there was Carrol Altwho spoke about body care.
558
00:30:10,793 --> 00:30:13,413
And with that comes the
realization for millions
559
00:30:13,517 --> 00:30:17,724
of women that earthling is theholy grail for beauty care.
560
00:30:17,827 --> 00:30:20,103
But the main event
was Dr. Christy
561
00:30:20,206 --> 00:30:22,965
who, upon taking centerstage, would instruct everyone
562
00:30:23,068 --> 00:30:26,137
to begin groundingthemselves during her talk.
563
00:30:26,241 --> 00:30:27,689
>> And so we're
going to get started.
564
00:30:27,793 --> 00:30:30,551
Are we hooked up to
the earth up here?
565
00:30:30,655 --> 00:30:31,344
>> Yes.
566
00:30:31,448 --> 00:30:32,724
>> We've got Earth.
567
00:30:32,827 --> 00:30:34,517
OK, so it's time to
take off our shoes.
568
00:30:34,620 --> 00:30:36,758
[inaudible] in a moment.
569
00:30:36,862 --> 00:30:38,620
>> As Clint Ober
observed this group,
570
00:30:38,724 --> 00:30:40,862
he looked confident that
it wouldn't take long
571
00:30:40,965 --> 00:30:43,793
for grounding to affect
everyone in the room.
572
00:30:43,896 --> 00:30:45,241
>> We're going to
have a good time.
573
00:30:45,344 --> 00:30:48,896
>> I was nowhere near preparedfor the number of people that
574
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,862
were affected by being groundedthat came back and wanted
575
00:30:52,965 --> 00:30:54,137
to talk to me.
576
00:30:54,241 --> 00:30:58,000
How do you interview
almost 1,000 people?
577
00:30:58,103 --> 00:31:03,379
>> It's such a simple and soprofound and powerful concept,
578
00:31:03,482 --> 00:31:05,689
and it's right there
beneath our feet.
579
00:31:05,793 --> 00:31:07,172
This is what just blows me away.
580
00:31:07,275 --> 00:31:09,931
I've been writing about
health for 35 years.
581
00:31:17,620 --> 00:31:19,551
>> I got a call from
the state of Alaska.
582
00:31:19,655 --> 00:31:22,965
Another orphaned animal--this time, a baby moose.
583
00:31:23,068 --> 00:31:27,724
>> [inaudible]
584
00:31:27,827 --> 00:31:30,931
>> Because she was likelya mere 48 hours old,
585
00:31:31,034 --> 00:31:33,931
I had to keep her safefrom hungry wild grizzlies.
586
00:31:34,034 --> 00:31:36,896
And so I put her in a
bear-proof horse trailer
587
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,482
with the door shut temporarily.
588
00:31:40,586 --> 00:31:42,034
I named her Karen.
589
00:31:42,137 --> 00:31:45,103
Because the horse trailerkept Karen ungrounded,
590
00:31:45,206 --> 00:31:48,137
I devised a way to reconnectthis moose calf to the Earth
591
00:31:48,241 --> 00:31:49,724
with a grounding pad.
592
00:31:49,827 --> 00:31:52,655
She instinctively knew whereto lie down, whether it
593
00:31:52,758 --> 00:31:54,344
was concealed or not.
594
00:31:58,965 --> 00:32:01,413
The next step was anexercise in reality having
595
00:32:01,517 --> 00:32:03,000
to do with true nutrition.
596
00:32:03,103 --> 00:32:06,655
This moose primarily needed rawmilk with all the live enzymes.
597
00:32:06,758 --> 00:32:09,206
If it was pasteurized,
she would likely die.
598
00:32:09,310 --> 00:32:11,068
Yet, I'm amazed
that people are told
599
00:32:11,172 --> 00:32:13,000
there is no difference
at the grocery store.
600
00:32:17,620 --> 00:32:20,344
The flow of people to my porchwanting to be grounded never
601
00:32:20,448 --> 00:32:25,482
let up, and word
continue to spread.
602
00:32:25,586 --> 00:32:27,862
By the time the
daisies were in bloom,
603
00:32:27,965 --> 00:32:30,793
I was elated with the returnof my son Garrett from his work
604
00:32:30,896 --> 00:32:32,137
down south.
605
00:32:32,241 --> 00:32:35,172
Garrett and his 19-year-oldgirlfriend Esther
606
00:32:35,275 --> 00:32:38,172
were somewhat aware of earthing,but wanted to learn more.
607
00:32:38,275 --> 00:32:40,137
I would show them.
608
00:32:47,275 --> 00:32:48,965
It was just a matter of time.
609
00:32:54,827 --> 00:32:56,586
The plants themselves
had something
610
00:32:56,689 --> 00:32:57,931
to say about earthing.
611
00:33:00,793 --> 00:33:03,482
More and more people in ourtown wanted to be grounded.
612
00:33:03,586 --> 00:33:04,862
It was overwhelming.
613
00:33:04,965 --> 00:33:07,068
Garrett and Esther were
now part of the team.
614
00:33:12,827 --> 00:33:14,862
I wanted to make animpression on these two kids
615
00:33:14,965 --> 00:33:17,379
and collect as many plants asI had room for the replicate
616
00:33:17,482 --> 00:33:18,931
and verify.
617
00:33:19,034 --> 00:33:22,724
I just laid back and watched.
618
00:33:22,827 --> 00:33:26,000
If grounding is all aplacebo effect in humans,
619
00:33:26,103 --> 00:33:28,103
then the results with
plants would be pretty
620
00:33:28,206 --> 00:33:30,034
black and white, I thought.
621
00:33:30,137 --> 00:33:31,655
Vegetation can't lie.
622
00:33:31,758 --> 00:33:33,862
[music playing]
623
00:33:47,137 --> 00:33:50,344
Inspired by the moosecalf's natural connection
624
00:33:50,448 --> 00:33:53,965
to the earth, I found myselfgoing barefoot most of the time
625
00:33:54,068 --> 00:33:54,965
too.
626
00:33:55,068 --> 00:33:56,379
I felt like a kid again.
627
00:33:56,482 --> 00:33:58,862
[music playing]
628
00:34:05,965 --> 00:34:08,482
As time passed, myveterinarian, Dr. Walker,
629
00:34:08,585 --> 00:34:09,862
returned with his family.
630
00:34:09,965 --> 00:34:12,655
By now, even he had experiencedwhat earthling had rendered.
631
00:34:20,965 --> 00:34:23,482
By this time, in town,my assistant Rocky Seward
632
00:34:23,585 --> 00:34:25,206
was called to help
replace a sign.
633
00:34:32,655 --> 00:34:36,172
An official declaration to ourentire community and beyond,
634
00:34:36,275 --> 00:34:39,793
the first motel in the nation tooffer overnight accommodations
635
00:34:39,896 --> 00:34:41,137
grounded.
636
00:34:41,241 --> 00:34:42,620
On the other side
of the continent,
637
00:34:42,724 --> 00:34:45,551
Dr. Laura Koniver also
had studies underway.
638
00:34:45,655 --> 00:34:47,620
Her interviews with
the Apollo astronauts
639
00:34:47,724 --> 00:34:49,310
gave her inspiration.
640
00:34:49,413 --> 00:34:51,034
They too were running
trials with plants--
641
00:34:54,688 --> 00:34:57,241
>> Y'all come on back now.
642
00:34:57,344 --> 00:34:59,655
>> --while simultaneouslyconducting earthling trials
643
00:34:59,758 --> 00:35:00,448
with patients.
644
00:35:06,896 --> 00:35:08,586
>> Tell me how the
study went for you?
645
00:35:08,689 --> 00:35:11,137
>> The main reason I wanted todo this was because anytime you
646
00:35:11,241 --> 00:35:13,379
say oh, walk outside inyour bare feet in this way,
647
00:35:13,482 --> 00:35:14,655
that would be awesome.
648
00:35:14,758 --> 00:35:16,172
>> I have loved the study.
649
00:35:16,275 --> 00:35:18,206
>> I noticed that I
was sleeping better.
650
00:35:18,310 --> 00:35:19,758
I had a deeper sleep.
651
00:35:19,862 --> 00:35:22,137
>> And now, long term, I don'thave pain at all anymore.
652
00:35:22,241 --> 00:35:26,206
>> I can't say enough how muchof a difference this has made
653
00:35:26,310 --> 00:35:27,586
in my life.
654
00:35:27,689 --> 00:35:30,517
>> Laura's children took thesepatient results in like they
655
00:35:30,620 --> 00:35:32,827
were multiple miracles.
656
00:35:32,931 --> 00:35:36,000
And the lab results
stunned everyone.
657
00:35:36,103 --> 00:35:38,310
Then, renowned cardiologistDr. Stephen Sinatra
658
00:35:38,413 --> 00:35:39,586
heard of the study.
659
00:35:39,689 --> 00:35:42,034
>> Well, never before, inthe history of humankind,
660
00:35:42,137 --> 00:35:42,896
we have to ground.
661
00:35:47,103 --> 00:35:50,482
>> Laura Koniver continued toemail all of us, particularly,
662
00:35:50,586 --> 00:35:53,034
my son Garrett and
his girlfriend Esther.
663
00:35:53,137 --> 00:35:56,275
It caused these kids toquestion everything, everything
664
00:35:56,379 --> 00:35:59,137
from the food we eat, to
the drugs people take,
665
00:35:59,241 --> 00:36:02,034
to what they were taught inscience class in high school,
666
00:36:02,137 --> 00:36:05,620
and above all, why we allwear rubber-soled shoes.
667
00:36:12,586 --> 00:36:14,137
Grounding soon
caught the attention
668
00:36:14,241 --> 00:36:16,137
of outsiders like a
film crew that we're
669
00:36:16,241 --> 00:36:19,517
working on an episode for"National Geographic."
670
00:36:19,620 --> 00:36:22,068
The show's host took
a particular interest
671
00:36:22,172 --> 00:36:23,827
in what happens to plants.
672
00:36:23,931 --> 00:36:25,793
I pointed out
clinical case studies
673
00:36:25,896 --> 00:36:28,896
online with the geographic teamof the seemingly miraculous
674
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,241
disappearance of chronicallyinflammation in patients
675
00:36:32,344 --> 00:36:36,344
verified by thermography, whichdistinctly depicts reduction
676
00:36:36,448 --> 00:36:39,068
in inflammation through
color temperatures.
677
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,172
As for Garrett
and Esther, it was
678
00:36:45,275 --> 00:36:47,137
time to whet their appetites.
679
00:36:52,206 --> 00:36:55,000
[music playing]
680
00:37:01,551 --> 00:37:04,241
This phenomena is
bigger than all of us.
681
00:37:04,344 --> 00:37:06,931
Beyond the greatest
health discovery ever,
682
00:37:07,034 --> 00:37:08,724
it may encompass
much, much more.
683
00:37:08,827 --> 00:37:11,000
[music playing]
684
00:37:23,137 --> 00:37:26,620
The curiosity of these twokids now led them on a quest
685
00:37:26,724 --> 00:37:28,034
just like me.
686
00:37:28,137 --> 00:37:30,172
I agreed to support
their research
687
00:37:30,275 --> 00:37:32,448
wherever that might take them.
688
00:37:32,551 --> 00:37:34,862
Garrett and Estherlearned that the ancients
689
00:37:34,965 --> 00:37:37,551
had a clear comprehension
of the earth's
690
00:37:37,655 --> 00:37:40,862
subtle electrical fields andthe planets negative charge.
691
00:37:48,827 --> 00:37:51,551
Gothic cathedrals were
oftentimes built exactly
692
00:37:51,655 --> 00:37:54,000
upon energy hotspots.
693
00:37:54,103 --> 00:37:56,517
All of these sites whetherconical mounds or stone
694
00:37:56,620 --> 00:37:59,896
circles were built with
impressive precision
695
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,517
rivaling any technology
we possess today.
696
00:38:02,620 --> 00:38:04,793
[music playing]
697
00:38:14,206 --> 00:38:16,586
The architectural design
that was implemented
698
00:38:16,689 --> 00:38:19,758
in building Gothic cathedralswas carefully planned out
699
00:38:19,862 --> 00:38:21,586
with the purpose behind it all.
700
00:38:21,689 --> 00:38:24,655
It was to harness andchannel sort of earth energy
701
00:38:24,758 --> 00:38:27,620
directly down
corridors and spaces.
702
00:38:27,724 --> 00:38:31,000
In 2008, when NASA announcedthat the earth is linked
703
00:38:31,103 --> 00:38:34,000
to the sun by a network
of magnetic portals,
704
00:38:34,103 --> 00:38:37,724
they essentially validatedthe ancient temple builders
705
00:38:37,827 --> 00:38:40,275
who sourced these
very flux events

00:38:40,379 --> 00:38:45,034
on the land and their connectionbeyond our terrestrial sphere.
707
00:38:45,137 --> 00:38:47,275
[music playing]
708
00:38:53,137 --> 00:38:56,241
Then I was determined tomeet someone who could infuse
709
00:38:56,344 --> 00:38:58,172
insight, answers, and hope.
710
00:39:01,241 --> 00:39:04,655
Jon Stuart Reid brought meto an ancient stone circle
711
00:39:04,758 --> 00:39:07,931
site called Long Meg
and Her Daughters,
712
00:39:08,034 --> 00:39:10,586
which is considered one of thelargest stone circles in the UK
713
00:39:10,689 --> 00:39:12,034
next to Stonehenge.
714
00:39:12,137 --> 00:39:14,413
It is in this cow
pasture where John and I
715
00:39:14,517 --> 00:39:16,344
began some analysis
of the breadth
716
00:39:16,448 --> 00:39:18,689
and width of these
individual stones
717
00:39:18,793 --> 00:39:21,862
and their formational linkto the earth's energy.
718
00:39:21,965 --> 00:39:24,827
These stones, put herethousands of years ago along
719
00:39:24,931 --> 00:39:28,068
with their inscriptions, haveweathered the test of time.
720
00:39:28,172 --> 00:39:30,482
What were these ancient secrets?
721
00:39:30,586 --> 00:39:33,655
I was about to find out.
722
00:39:33,758 --> 00:39:36,137
Experiments are conductedinside a special room
723
00:39:36,241 --> 00:39:38,000
called the Faraday cage.
724
00:39:38,103 --> 00:39:40,931
It is in this environmentwhere studies take place
725
00:39:41,034 --> 00:39:43,068
with instruments such
as the cymascope, which
726
00:39:43,172 --> 00:39:46,482
uses a few drops of waterto manifest frequencies.
727
00:39:46,586 --> 00:39:48,103
>> It's an audio oscillator.
728
00:39:48,206 --> 00:39:50,620
And we're going to setit to the Schumann cavity
729
00:39:50,724 --> 00:39:53,448
resonance of 7.83 hertz.
730
00:39:53,551 --> 00:39:56,586
>> The frequency of the earth,it has never been seen before
731
00:39:56,689 --> 00:39:57,758
like this.
732
00:39:57,862 --> 00:40:00,172
This heartbeat occurs
in the spherical cavity
733
00:40:00,275 --> 00:40:04,206
between the surface of theearth and the ionosphere.
734
00:40:04,310 --> 00:40:07,344
It's almost as if the universeis trying to tell us something,
735
00:40:07,448 --> 00:40:11,206
perhaps, synchronicity.
736
00:40:11,310 --> 00:40:14,241
The brains of allcreatures, including humans,
737
00:40:14,344 --> 00:40:17,068
are tuned to thisfrequency and this pattern,
738
00:40:17,172 --> 00:40:20,068
simply with water and light.

00:40:26,310 --> 00:40:27,965
of years earlier.
742
00:40:28,068 --> 00:40:30,206
The world's top
mathematicians are now
743
00:40:30,310 --> 00:40:32,379
extrapolating
mathematical equations
744
00:40:32,482 --> 00:40:33,448
from this sacred geometry.
745
00:40:33,551 --> 00:40:35,793
[music playing]
746
00:40:48,137 --> 00:40:49,931
Then I heard about
a teenage girl
747
00:40:50,034 --> 00:40:53,551
named Rae Heim who was runningbarefoot coast to coast.
748
00:40:53,655 --> 00:40:55,413
I wanted to cheer her on.
749
00:40:55,517 --> 00:40:59,000
If successful, she would becomethe youngest and only female
750
00:40:59,103 --> 00:41:02,931
who ever ran across America, notto mention doing it barefoot.
751
00:41:03,034 --> 00:41:04,931
The odds were against her.
752
00:41:05,034 --> 00:41:07,448
She was running to raise
awareness of children
753
00:41:07,551 --> 00:41:10,034
who live in poverty.
754
00:41:10,137 --> 00:41:12,931
Because of the oppressive heatand drought conditions ray
755
00:41:13,034 --> 00:41:15,344
was running through, Ithought the best place to meet
756
00:41:15,448 --> 00:41:20,241
would be where there wasboth shade and free energy.
757
00:41:20,344 --> 00:41:24,827
Rae had no idea why I chosea sunflower field to meet in.
758
00:41:24,931 --> 00:41:26,965
She was running on
asphalt most the time,
759
00:41:27,068 --> 00:41:28,103
which is nonconductive.
760
00:41:28,206 --> 00:41:30,137
And since the soil
was so parched,
761
00:41:30,241 --> 00:41:32,000
it was also nonconductive.
762
00:41:32,103 --> 00:41:36,344
However, Rae could receiveearth energy if all she did
763
00:41:36,448 --> 00:41:38,103
was touch one thing.
764
00:41:41,103 --> 00:41:44,586
The roots of the sunflowerwent deep into the earth.
765
00:41:44,689 --> 00:41:50,241
And so the moist stem wasessentially a grounding rod,
766
00:41:50,344 --> 00:41:52,310
giving Rae earth's power.
767
00:41:55,172 --> 00:41:59,793
Now aware of the secret,Rae was gifted with an itch.
768
00:41:59,896 --> 00:42:02,000
[music playing]
769
00:42:19,310 --> 00:42:23,034
Back home in Alaska, earthingwas now the talk of the town.
770
00:42:23,137 --> 00:42:25,137
And for many who didn't
want to go barefoot
771
00:42:25,241 --> 00:42:29,241
for various reasons,
there was a solution.
772
00:42:29,344 --> 00:42:31,448
By drilling holes
in shoes and sandals
773
00:42:31,551 --> 00:42:34,689
and inserting a conductiveplug, the earth's energy
774
00:42:34,793 --> 00:42:36,862
could go back up into the foot--
775
00:42:36,965 --> 00:42:38,172
next best thing to barefoot.
776
00:42:41,068 --> 00:42:42,931
And then, a lady fromNew York heard above what
777
00:42:43,034 --> 00:42:45,068
was happening in our town.
778
00:42:45,172 --> 00:42:48,793
She knew that not everyone wouldwant to wear grounded sandals.
779
00:42:48,896 --> 00:42:52,793
She had options--
grounded shoes.
780
00:42:52,896 --> 00:42:54,344
>> They're wonderful.
781
00:42:54,448 --> 00:42:56,965
>> Well, I'm kind of-- the kindthat think that it's not going
782
00:42:57,068 --> 00:42:58,275
to work.
783
00:42:58,379 --> 00:43:00,034
>> No, I think the scienceis really indisputable about
784
00:43:00,137 --> 00:43:01,379
the benefits.
785
00:43:01,482 --> 00:43:03,275
So these are a 7.
786
00:43:03,379 --> 00:43:06,655
>> There are very good reasonsto think that this may very
787
00:43:06,758 --> 00:43:10,275
well be the most importanthealth discovery ever,
788
00:43:10,379 --> 00:43:12,586
and it's something you
all need to know about.
789
00:43:12,689 --> 00:43:14,793
Electrostatics is a
branch of physics.
790
00:43:14,896 --> 00:43:18,206
And it teaches us that whentwo conductive objects make
791
00:43:18,310 --> 00:43:21,448
contact, if they havedifferent electrical potential,
792
00:43:21,551 --> 00:43:25,000
they equalize virtually
instantaneously.
793
00:43:25,103 --> 00:43:29,724
You may know that penicillinwas a revolution in medicine.
794
00:43:29,827 --> 00:43:33,034
This is a revolution
in health care
795
00:43:33,137 --> 00:43:37,793
that I think
transcends penicillin.

that Esther and
Garrett sent him.

over a period of 15 years.

How beautiful to know
and, yet, how tragic
808
00:44:13,655 --> 00:44:17,310
to realize that much of humanityhas never heard of grounding.

[music playing]
810
00:44:29,137 --> 00:44:31,241
Because of profound
effects that earthling
811
00:44:31,344 --> 00:44:34,620
has on women of all
ages, Dr. Laura Koniver
812
00:44:34,724 --> 00:44:36,827

814
00:44:45,896 --> 00:44:48,344
Children who practice earthlingthat have been studied
815
00:44:48,448 --> 00:44:51,103
have been shown to have
profound reductions
816
00:44:51,206 --> 00:44:54,000
in physical and
emotional issues.
817
00:44:54,103 --> 00:44:57,034
One study of 28 parents
of autistic children
818
00:44:57,137 --> 00:45:00,000
found a dramatic change inbehavior and communication
819
00:45:00,103 --> 00:45:04,689
skills after grounding thechildren only two months.
820
00:45:04,793 --> 00:45:10,379
And then I had an opportunity tovisit my parents in Minnesota.
821
00:45:10,482 --> 00:45:12,793
And both of my parents
had health issues
822
00:45:12,896 --> 00:45:16,620
that recently were miraculouslywiped away by earthing.
823
00:45:16,724 --> 00:45:19,551
If earthing worked for
them, it was a strategy
824
00:45:19,655 --> 00:45:23,827
that would know no boundariesof age, race, color,
825
00:45:23,931 --> 00:45:24,862
or creed or circumstance.

00:45:32,517 --> 00:45:36,137
At the urging of my parents,I flew to nearby Chicago
828
00:45:36,241 --> 00:45:38,655
where there was another
advocate of earth thing
829
00:45:38,758 --> 00:45:42,655
who is known to millionsof people around the world.
830
00:45:42,758 --> 00:45:46,206
This is a doctor who does notaccept conventional medicine

at face value and
who successfully
832
00:45:48,931 --> 00:45:51,172
shines a light on

Not surprisingly,
living grounded

00:45:56,206 --> 00:45:59,000
is something this man had beendoing for the past eight years.
836

It's hard to believe, isn't it?
837
00:46:08,827 --> 00:46:09,827
>> It is.

00:46:35,344 --> 00:46:36,034
again, OK?
848
00:46:36,137 --> 00:46:37,379
You want to hear them too?
849
00:46:37,482 --> 00:46:38,482
>> OK.
850
00:46:38,586 --> 00:46:39,655
>> There's a famous
German philosopher.
851
00:46:39,758 --> 00:46:41,379
His name is ArthurSchopenhauer, and he already
852
00:46:41,482 --> 00:46:44,896
had a comment about truth,which is really quite amazing, I
853
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:49,241
think, most appropriateto when we're considering
854
00:46:49,344 --> 00:46:50,620
a topic like grounding.
855
00:46:50,724 --> 00:46:54,241
And his statement
was, "It is ridiculed,
856
00:46:54,344 --> 00:46:57,103
then it becomes
violently opposed,
857
00:46:57,206 --> 00:47:01,517
and then finally becomes widelyaccepted as self-evident."
858
00:47:01,620 --> 00:47:04,068
What do you think about
Dr. Mercola's viewpoints
859
00:47:04,172 --> 00:47:05,655
on walking barefoot.

00:47:05,758 --> 00:47:09,172
>> My grandparents say
all the same things.

Walking on the grass is veryhealthy, especially your heart.

>> In this journey, if that'swhat you could call it,
863
00:47:16,689 --> 00:47:21,241
I know noticed within myselfa renewed sensitivity about
864
00:47:21,344 --> 00:47:25,448
the subtle details of nature,the flow of the seasons,

00:47:25,551 --> 00:47:26,827
the dance of life.
866
00:47:30,827 --> 00:47:32,793
And when it came to
personal emotions
867
00:47:32,896 --> 00:47:36,068
about the affairs of the
heart, a stronger belief
868
00:47:36,172 --> 00:47:39,689
in the ultimate power of love,and the value of patience
869
00:47:39,793 --> 00:47:42,862
and understanding, and theirability to operate on faith
870
00:47:42,965 --> 00:47:43,655
emerged.

Everyone around
me seemed happier.
872
00:47:51,344 --> 00:47:53,310
Now I could see
patterns never noticed
873
00:47:53,413 --> 00:47:56,793
before, from the basic designsof a beehive to the arrangement
874
00:47:56,896 --> 00:47:58,896
of leaves and seeds
of a sunflower,
875
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,275
to the mathematical
consistencies

of the design of everything.
877
00:48:03,344 --> 00:48:05,241
Nothing was random.
878
00:48:05,344 --> 00:48:08,724
>> It's more about our
connection with nature,

00:48:08,827 --> 00:48:11,034
with the planet,
with the universe.

>> It's not an accident.
883
00:48:18,206 --> 00:48:21,206
It's not a chance.
884
00:48:21,310 --> 00:48:25,931
It's just an orderly universe.
885
00:48:26,034 --> 00:48:29,586
>> An orderly universe, allright, even within our bodies--
886
00:48:29,689 --> 00:48:33,827
to many people, earth
energy remains abstract.
887
00:48:33,931 --> 00:48:37,034
But what if I could documentthe rate at which red blood
888
00:48:37,137 --> 00:48:41,724
cells travel after a subject isgrounded for a mere two hours?
889
00:48:41,827 --> 00:48:45,275
It's a scientific visual.
890
00:48:45,379 --> 00:48:48,000
It's a fact that blood
thins significantly
891
00:48:48,103 --> 00:48:49,413
when one is grounded.
892
00:48:49,517 --> 00:48:52,586
Thus, earthing
becomes a major factor
893
00:48:52,689 --> 00:48:54,448
in battling heart disease.
894
00:48:54,551 --> 00:48:56,172
As I flip the
switch for the blood
895
00:48:56,275 --> 00:49:00,000
to be influenced by acontrolled DC electric field,
896
00:49:00,103 --> 00:49:02,724
we could now see thedifference of blood velocity
897
00:49:02,827 --> 00:49:05,551
before and after two
hours of earthing.
898
00:49:16,034 --> 00:49:19,758
As you can see under controlledconditions of the DC current,
899
00:49:19,862 --> 00:49:23,000
the blood cell
velocity is unequivocal
900
00:49:23,103 --> 00:49:27,068
before and after
earthing for two hours.
901
00:49:27,172 --> 00:49:29,793
Dr. Gary Schwartz,
along with Dr. Christy
902
00:49:29,896 --> 00:49:34,517
oversee these studies atthe University of Arizona.
903
00:49:34,620 --> 00:49:37,344
I followed Dr. Christy toanother research facility
904
00:49:37,448 --> 00:49:39,241
in Southern California
to meet Dr. Gaetan
905
00:49:39,344 --> 00:49:44,862
Chevalier, a biophysicistand electrophysiologist.
906
00:49:44,965 --> 00:49:47,241
Dr. Chevalier, along
with his colleagues,
907
00:49:47,344 --> 00:49:50,413
have spent almost 15 yearsin trials and studies
908
00:49:50,517 --> 00:49:53,551
of everything, ranging
from sleep studies, skin
909
00:49:53,655 --> 00:49:56,931
conductivity, cortisollevels, stress and tension
910
00:49:57,034 --> 00:49:59,965
studies, heart rate
variability studies,
911
00:50:00,068 --> 00:50:03,034
and many other published
physiological parameters
912
00:50:03,137 --> 00:50:04,862
that are relevant to everything.
913
00:50:09,137 --> 00:50:10,827
On Skype, Garrett
and Esther we're
914
00:50:10,931 --> 00:50:13,000
looking for internationalopinions and comments
915
00:50:13,103 --> 00:50:14,517
on the subject of earthing.
916
00:50:14,620 --> 00:50:16,482
>> I'm Pawel Sokal.
917
00:50:16,586 --> 00:50:18,103
I am a physician.
918
00:50:18,206 --> 00:50:20,793
I'm a neurosurgeon.
919
00:50:20,896 --> 00:50:24,413
>> All of us were processingthis information together
920
00:50:24,517 --> 00:50:28,379
and thinking about so manywe love that are suffering
921
00:50:28,482 --> 00:50:30,275
because they don't
know about this.
922
00:50:34,068 --> 00:50:36,655
In Seattle, Washington, whereEsther and Garrett were now
923
00:50:36,758 --> 00:50:39,896
attending college nearby,they took part in a race
924
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:44,172
where shoes were shunned
called the naked 5K.
925
00:50:44,275 --> 00:50:46,275
I found it rather odd
though that, although it
926
00:50:46,379 --> 00:50:49,758
was a barefoot race, it seemedlike the barefoot runners were
927
00:50:49,862 --> 00:50:51,620
still in the minority.
928
00:50:51,724 --> 00:50:55,793
The footwear industry is a$55 billion a year force.
929
00:50:55,896 --> 00:50:57,275
And the idea that
running barefoot
930
00:50:57,379 --> 00:51:00,068
is far superior to
high-tech foot gear
931
00:51:00,172 --> 00:51:02,793
is not something industrywill espouse publicly.
932
00:51:02,896 --> 00:51:05,034
[music playing]
933
00:51:17,896 --> 00:51:20,310
There was a biker cameramanat this event, however,
934
00:51:20,413 --> 00:51:23,068
that told us of a race
done in central Mexico
935
00:51:23,172 --> 00:51:26,517
that makes any othermarathon pale in comparison.
936
00:51:26,620 --> 00:51:31,931
He invited us to his hometo see what he documented.
937
00:51:32,034 --> 00:51:34,620
This filmmaker's name
is Sterling Noren.
938
00:51:34,724 --> 00:51:38,482
And Sterling wanted to
show us story and proof
939
00:51:38,586 --> 00:51:41,586
of the Tarahumara
Indians he follows.
940
00:51:41,689 --> 00:51:44,689
They live in a remotecanyon in central Mexico.
941
00:51:44,793 --> 00:51:47,034
And they're able to
run superhuman marathon
942
00:51:47,137 --> 00:51:50,517
distances of up to 250 miles.
943
00:51:50,620 --> 00:51:52,931
No one on earth can
match their endurance.
944
00:51:53,034 --> 00:51:56,034
And many observersattribute their capability
945
00:51:56,137 --> 00:51:58,034
to the simple fact
of living barefoot.
946

[music playing]
947
00:52:05,068 --> 00:52:06,689
Garrett and Esther
gave me clarity
948
00:52:06,793 --> 00:52:08,103
of what earthing really is.
949
00:52:08,206 --> 00:52:11,275
Earthing or grounding
is foundational physics.
950
00:52:11,379 --> 00:52:14,448
Its power for eliminatinginflammation and helping
951
00:52:14,551 --> 00:52:16,379
to defeat everything
from heart disease
952
00:52:16,482 --> 00:52:20,068
to carpal tunnel syndrome tosleep apnea is mind blowing.
953
00:52:20,172 --> 00:52:23,724
But this energy medicinesuggests something universal.
954
00:52:23,827 --> 00:52:26,137
I followed the intuitions
of these two kids
955
00:52:26,241 --> 00:52:29,103
to Maui, to the Universityof Hawaii's Institute
956
00:52:29,206 --> 00:52:29,896
for Astronomy.

00:52:37,827 --> 00:52:41,517
Curiously, after a 20-minute cabride listening to these kids,
959
00:52:41,620 --> 00:52:45,758
our driver was in no rush toput his shoes back on either.
960
00:52:45,862 --> 00:52:48,551
Dr. JD Armstrong
took it from there,
961
00:52:48,655 --> 00:52:51,517

higher above the clouds

powerful telescopes peer throughthe portals of the universe

00:53:03,413 --> 00:53:05,586
and reap data that
is transmitted
967
00:53:05,689 --> 00:53:10,275
to NASA, to governments,to institutions worldwide.
968
00:53:10,379 --> 00:53:13,620
To understand why or how
grounding works at all,
969
00:53:13,724 --> 00:53:18,103
we have to comprehend why or howthe earth has a negative charge
970
00:53:18,206 --> 00:53:18,931
to start with.

It all has other-worldly
explanations.
973

It involves space
itself and the sun

and the moon and the weather andlightning and the Earth's core
975

and how it's all interconnected.

For Esther, what she sawincomprehensibly infinite space
984
00:55:07,551 --> 00:55:11,586
was the same thing in the designof Garret's ear, a fractal,
985
00:55:11,689 --> 00:55:14,034
a spiral, a sequence.
986
00:55:14,137 --> 00:55:17,310
In fact, the spirals in
space and the spirals
987
00:55:17,413 --> 00:55:21,758
found in the outer and inner earand elsewhere are all the same.
988
00:55:21,862 --> 00:55:25,379
They are an exact
mathematical equation.
989
00:55:25,482 --> 00:55:29,586
It is called the golden ratioand the Fibonacci sequence.
990
00:55:29,689 --> 00:55:32,000
In other words,
sacred geometry--
991
00:55:32,103 --> 00:55:35,275
it's on your face, your
hands, and everywhere.
992
00:55:35,379 --> 00:55:37,103

a film about earthling, hecalled us in for a talk.
998
00:55:51,241 --> 00:55:54,793
Dr. Ritter had never heardabout earthing before.
999
00:55:54,896 --> 00:55:57,793
The fact that these two kidswere poking around and speaking
1000
00:55:57,896 --> 00:56:00,724
with the staff about the meritsof connecting to the earth
1001
00:56:00,827 --> 00:56:02,137
bothered him.
1002
00:56:02,241 --> 00:56:05,620
After all, Garrett andEsther were not scientists.
1003
00:56:05,724 --> 00:56:08,482

>> I'm a physicist.
1016
00:56:38,379 --> 00:56:42,000
We study the nature of matter,the interaction of matter,

and what the rules are
of the govern that.
1018
00:56:43,862 --> 00:56:48,137
We see four forces in nature,gravity, strong force,
1019
00:56:48,241 --> 00:56:51,034
weak force, and
electromagnetism.
1020
00:56:51,137 --> 00:56:54,413
Is the earth connected
to other things?
1021
00:56:54,517 --> 00:56:56,620
Sure, we feel the
gravity of the moon
1022
00:56:56,724 --> 00:56:59,551
that fills the gravity
of my telephone

right here and vice versa.
1024
00:57:01,896 --> 00:57:04,137
Is the earth connected
because of these things?
1025
00:57:04,241 --> 00:57:06,896
Yes, we understand
that in physics.
1026
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:09,034
Are you talking
about something else?

>> When you do connectyour body with the earth,
1028
00:57:12,448 --> 00:57:16,344
there is scientific evidencethat shows the inflammation

00:57:16,448 --> 00:57:19,275
in the body is decreased
because, basically,
1030
00:57:19,379 --> 00:57:24,206
the electrons from the earthgo into your body and decreases
1031
00:57:24,310 --> 00:57:27,310
the inflammation.

It is a threat to
the status quo,
1036
00:57:40,206 --> 00:57:42,793
but are we able to assureour children of a future
1037
00:57:42,896 --> 00:57:45,517
if change does not occur?
1038
00:57:45,620 --> 00:57:48,068
We are immersed in
an environment that
1039
00:57:48,172 --> 00:57:52,413
is not conducive to healthor even a society that
1040
00:57:52,517 --> 00:57:53,931
is sustainable.
1041
00:57:54,034 --> 00:57:57,310
Are we leaving our childrenwith an irreparable legacy?

Surely, we will
turn this around.

But for many other
women of Haines
1056
00:59:06,413 --> 00:59:12,068
that gathered in our workshop,the future is indeed bright.
1057
00:59:12,172 --> 00:59:14,275
>> I grew up in Angoon, Alaska.
1058
00:59:14,379 --> 00:59:20,034
And in Angoon, we, as a
village, as a culture,
1059
00:59:20,137 --> 00:59:24,137
believe that we have
to be good to the earth
1060
00:59:24,241 --> 00:59:29,689
and respect the earth, mostimportantly, so that the earth
1061
00:59:29,793 --> 00:59:31,586
will be good to us.
1062
00:59:31,689 --> 00:59:34,206
>> The first five monthsof my pregnancy with Maya,
1063
00:59:34,310 --> 00:59:36,517
I was extremely sick.
1064
00:59:36,620 --> 00:59:39,310
And I was introduced
to this grounding.
1065
00:59:39,413 --> 00:59:42,137
>> As for the people
in the town of Haines--
1066
00:59:42,241 --> 00:59:44,206
>> I was born with spina bifida.
1067
00:59:44,310 --> 00:59:47,137
And Rocky came up here
and was telling me
1068
00:59:47,241 --> 00:59:49,379
about this grounding thing.
1069
00:59:49,482 --> 00:59:52,068
And he went ahead and gaveme a couple of the patches,
1070
00:59:52,172 --> 00:59:53,931
and I put them on my feet.
1071
00:59:54,034 --> 00:59:56,275
I tell you what, I sure startedsleeping better at night.
1072
00:59:56,379 --> 00:59:59,379
I hurt my shouldersprobably seven years ago.
1073
00:59:59,482 --> 01:00:01,172
I pulled both of
my rotator cuffs.
1074
01:00:01,275 --> 01:00:02,275
>> And now it's different?
1075
01:00:02,379 --> 01:00:03,344
>> And now it's different.
1076
01:00:03,448 --> 01:00:05,551
I used to not be able
to just reach up.
1077
01:00:05,655 --> 01:00:08,655
I used to have to go like thisand just gingerly put my arm
1078
01:00:08,758 --> 01:00:11,103
up, and I can--
1079
01:00:11,206 --> 01:00:13,758
>> And so you've gotten lotsof comments about this earthing
1080
01:00:13,862 --> 01:00:15,448
room here at your motel, right?
1081
01:00:15,551 --> 01:00:16,586
>> Yes, indeed.
1082
01:00:16,689 --> 01:00:18,586
>> And some people,
what happens to them?
1083
01:00:18,689 --> 01:00:20,344
Do they call you again,
want to come here?
1084
01:00:20,448 --> 01:00:21,862
>> Sure, yeah,
they'll call us back.
1085
01:00:21,965 --> 01:00:24,034
And if they're travelingthrough the community again,
1086
01:00:24,137 --> 01:00:26,068
they come back and
will stay in our motel
1087
01:00:26,172 --> 01:00:28,068
so that they can
access this room again.
1088
01:00:28,172 --> 01:00:29,965
>> What are they feeling
when they stay here?
1089
01:00:30,068 --> 01:00:34,206
>> Relief from back pain,relief from arthritis type pain,
1090
01:00:34,310 --> 01:00:37,000
just a good comfortablesleep, those kinds of things.
1091
01:00:37,103 --> 01:00:38,827
>> Here, I'm going to
give you this journal.
1092
01:00:38,931 --> 01:00:41,482
We have to start
keeping records of this.
1093
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:48,000
>> You remember the skepticaldoctor in Haines who thought
1094
01:00:48,103 --> 01:00:50,068
that earthing was anecdotal.
1095
01:00:50,172 --> 01:00:54,241
12 months later, he's moreperplexed than ever about
1096
01:00:54,344 --> 01:00:56,724
what's happening in town.
1097
01:00:56,827 --> 01:00:59,620
And now an official
dinner was being planned
1098
01:00:59,724 --> 01:01:01,965
for some very special guests.
1099
01:01:02,068 --> 01:01:04,862
I met up with these guestsat the Seattle-Tacoma
1100
01:01:04,965 --> 01:01:06,758
International Airport.
1101
01:01:06,862 --> 01:01:10,206
It was Dr. Christy andastronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell.
1102
01:01:10,310 --> 01:01:12,586
But by the time welanded in Juneau, Alaska,
1103
01:01:12,689 --> 01:01:15,413
a storm was brewing, andall flights to our hometown
1104
01:01:15,517 --> 01:01:16,758
were canceled.
1105
01:01:16,862 --> 01:01:19,000
The only other
alternative to get home
1106
01:01:19,103 --> 01:01:20,655
was a sketchy ferry ride.
1107
01:01:20,758 --> 01:01:23,103
[music playing]
1108
01:01:32,689 --> 01:01:38,862
No amount of cold and snow orstorms could cancel this event.
1109
01:01:38,965 --> 01:01:42,241
There was one slight,last-minute problem, however.
1110
01:01:47,310 --> 01:01:50,379
Remember the Eagle's Nest
Motel, first the nation
1111
01:01:50,482 --> 01:01:52,965
to offer an earthing room?
1112
01:01:53,068 --> 01:01:56,103
Well, they were sold out--
1113
01:01:56,206 --> 01:01:57,482
no vacancy.
1114
01:01:57,586 --> 01:02:00,310
No room for Edgar and
Dr. Christy and Jason,
1115
01:02:00,413 --> 01:02:02,310
her assistant, to stay.
1116
01:02:02,413 --> 01:02:05,689
Too many people had come totown to meet Edgar and Christy.
1117
01:02:05,793 --> 01:02:09,172
The only other
option was my place.
1118
01:02:09,275 --> 01:02:10,517
I was not prepared for that.
1119
01:02:10,620 --> 01:02:13,000
[music playing]
1120
01:02:19,103 --> 01:02:22,241
When Dr. Mitchell asked,is there plumbing in there
1121
01:02:22,344 --> 01:02:25,310
as a joke, well, no,
there really wasn't.
1122
01:02:25,413 --> 01:02:27,000
All the pipes were frozen.
1123
01:02:27,103 --> 01:02:30,827
Ironically, it allstarted to feel familiar.
1124
01:02:30,931 --> 01:02:33,482
I really was home again.
1125
01:02:33,586 --> 01:02:37,448
>> We have seen facilities nowbeing created for the greatest
1126
01:02:37,551 --> 01:02:41,344
and most complex explorationin man's history.
1127
01:02:41,448 --> 01:02:44,344
We have felt the ground
shake and the air
1128
01:02:44,448 --> 01:02:48,965
shattered by the testing ofa Saturn C-1 booster rocket,
1129
01:02:49,068 --> 01:02:52,068
many times as long
as the Atlas, which
1130
01:02:52,172 --> 01:02:55,206
launched John Glenn,
generating power
1131
01:02:55,310 --> 01:02:57,517
equivalence to
10,000 automobiles
1132
01:02:57,620 --> 01:02:59,586
with their accelerator
on the floor.
1133
01:02:59,689 --> 01:03:02,413
[music playing]
1134
01:03:06,793 --> 01:03:09,862
>> It wasn't long beforeeveryone discovered that we had
1135
01:03:09,965 --> 01:03:11,896
more in common than we
could have realized.
1136
01:03:16,931 --> 01:03:19,310
>> So I'll show you, this isthat the sunflower experiment
1137
01:03:19,413 --> 01:03:21,206
that we're doing
with Gary Schwartz.
1138
01:03:21,310 --> 01:03:22,965
>> Is this a wire
that's connecting them?
1139
01:03:23,068 --> 01:03:25,034
>> Yeah, it's a wire,
and there's a mesh.
1140
01:03:25,137 --> 01:03:27,344
And it becomes really
distinct over time.
1141
01:03:27,448 --> 01:03:29,275
This poor little sunflowerthat's not connected
1142
01:03:29,379 --> 01:03:31,689
starts to wither and
wilt, and the one
1143
01:03:31,793 --> 01:03:34,586
that's connected to the earthis still vibrant and strong.
1144
01:03:34,689 --> 01:03:38,103
It seems to me, when I lookat this, that the earth itself
1145
01:03:38,206 --> 01:03:41,827
has this energy to give
every living creature.
1146
01:03:41,931 --> 01:03:43,586
Well, it certainly
would suggest that,
1147
01:03:43,689 --> 01:03:45,827
certainly would suggest that.
1148
01:03:45,931 --> 01:03:49,241
>> Yeah.
1149
01:03:49,344 --> 01:03:52,379
>> As the Atlas, which
launched John Glenn.
1150
01:03:52,482 --> 01:03:54,551
>> And so now we are at
the moment of the hour.
1151
01:03:54,655 --> 01:03:59,034
It's such a privilege to be ableto introduce to you Apollo 14
1152
01:03:59,137 --> 01:04:00,724
astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell.
1153
01:04:00,827 --> 01:04:03,620
[applause]
1154
01:04:16,275 --> 01:04:21,137
>> There is a saying in one ofthe traditions [inaudible] they
1155
01:04:21,241 --> 01:04:22,931
said, let there
be peace on earth,
1156
01:04:23,034 --> 01:04:25,172
and let it begin with me.
1157
01:04:25,275 --> 01:04:28,172
It has been what I haveworked for since I came back
1158
01:04:28,275 --> 01:04:29,655
from the moon.
1159
01:04:29,758 --> 01:04:34,965
To help we, as humans, learnto live with each other
1160
01:04:35,068 --> 01:04:41,172
and for each other and createfor ourselves and our planet
1161
01:04:41,275 --> 01:04:45,655
and our progeny, asustainable civilization.
1162
01:04:45,758 --> 01:04:47,827
And we aren't there yet.
1163
01:04:47,931 --> 01:04:50,862
We've got a log of work todo, but what we can do it.
1164
01:04:50,965 --> 01:04:53,275
And I have devoted
my life to it.
1165
01:04:53,379 --> 01:04:56,275
Because the experience that Ihad coming back from the moon
1166
01:04:56,379 --> 01:04:59,034
has been shared by
most astronauts that
1167
01:04:59,137 --> 01:05:04,413
may not be exactly describedin the way I describe it.
1168
01:05:04,517 --> 01:05:06,827
But nevertheless, it'swhat's called the overview
1169
01:05:06,931 --> 01:05:10,413
effect of seeing thismagnificent little planet
1170
01:05:10,517 --> 01:05:16,965
that we have in the backdropof the universe, of stars,
1171
01:05:17,068 --> 01:05:23,103
and galaxies, galactic clusters,and recognizing how immense,
1172
01:05:23,206 --> 01:05:26,551
how immense this universe
is, and we're just
1173
01:05:26,655 --> 01:05:28,689
a small part of it.
1174
01:05:28,793 --> 01:05:34,275
And we have an important partto play in our civilization
1175
01:05:34,379 --> 01:05:35,827
and in our future.
1176
01:05:35,931 --> 01:05:38,689
Because either we'regoing to make it together,
1177
01:05:38,793 --> 01:05:41,000
we're not going to make it all.
1178
01:05:41,103 --> 01:05:44,655
"As heartwarming as Edgar'svisit was to this community,
1179
01:05:44,758 --> 01:05:47,827
I had to force myself
to turn the page
1180
01:05:47,931 --> 01:05:51,137
and approach my son Garrettand his girlfriend Esther
1181
01:05:51,241 --> 01:05:53,310
with a different
perspective, which
1182
01:05:53,413 --> 01:05:55,931
would challenge and
ridicule everything
1183
01:05:56,034 --> 01:05:57,586
they were experiencing.
1184
01:05:57,689 --> 01:06:01,275
I found and invited a personwho had something to say
1185
01:06:01,379 --> 01:06:03,344
and would do so
in a public venue.
1186
01:06:03,448 --> 01:06:06,689
He was no friend of when allthe healed people of this town
1187
01:06:06,793 --> 01:06:09,000
embraced as truth.
1188
01:06:09,103 --> 01:06:11,931
He didn't care how many
would be listening.
1189
01:06:12,034 --> 01:06:13,517
>> Absolutely, the
more the merrier.
1190
01:06:13,620 --> 01:06:14,793
Welcome to all.
1191
01:06:14,896 --> 01:06:16,724
>> We understand that you'vecreated a website called
1192
01:06:16,827 --> 01:06:20,655
skeptoid.com, and you've writtenan article about earthing
1193
01:06:20,758 --> 01:06:25,482
citing Dr. Mercola's opinionsabout earthing and your own.
1194
01:06:25,586 --> 01:06:26,862
>> Mostly correct, yes.
1195
01:06:26,965 --> 01:06:30,275
That blog written by one ofmy blog authors, not by me.
1196
01:06:30,379 --> 01:06:33,413
>> OK, and do you feel thatearthing can be beneficial
1197
01:06:33,517 --> 01:06:36,206
to healing and
reducing inflammation?
1198
01:06:36,310 --> 01:06:38,965
>> The short answer is no, I'mnot aware of any reason why
1199
01:06:39,068 --> 01:06:42,000
there might be anythingbeneficial connected with this.
1200
01:06:42,103 --> 01:06:44,827
Basically, as far as I can tellyou, what I know of earthing,
1201
01:06:44,931 --> 01:06:46,793
is that it [inaudible]
huge number
1202
01:06:46,896 --> 01:06:48,896
of made-up, new-age claims.
1203
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:50,758
And I can't say
I've heard anyone
1204
01:06:50,862 --> 01:06:52,034
say they have a health benefit.
1205
01:06:52,137 --> 01:06:54,517

1206
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:55,344
>> I walked 30 feet today.
1207
01:07:58,034 --> 01:08:00,241
>> What are theimplications of all of this?
1208
01:08:00,344 --> 01:08:02,413
Will it become an
unstoppable force
1209
01:08:02,517 --> 01:08:04,965
for the benefit of everyone?
1210
01:08:05,068 --> 01:08:07,827
If it can happen here,
it can happen anywhere.
1211
01:08:13,275 --> 01:08:17,482
So in the end, I remembered theothers over this past 11 months
1212
01:08:17,585 --> 01:08:20,274
that helped with this filmand how they were affected.
1213

>> So y'all in town visiting?
1216
01:09:00,172 --> 01:09:02,896
>> Yeah, we're here to shootthis movie and basically tell
1217
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:04,931
the world about the
medicinal benefits,
1218
01:09:05,033 --> 01:09:06,344
which are absolutely huge.

01:09:51,172 --> 01:09:53,724
but whatever happens, I'llcertainly have memories.

For each of us, eventually,whether we're ready or not,
1224
01:10:04,689 --> 01:10:07,448
some day it will come to an end.
1225
01:10:07,550 --> 01:10:11,206
There will be no more sunrises,no more minutes, hours,
1226
01:10:11,309 --> 01:10:12,655
or days.
1227
01:10:12,758 --> 01:10:16,172
All the things you collected,whether treasured or forgotten,
1228
01:10:16,275 --> 01:10:18,241
will pass to someone else.
1229
01:10:18,344 --> 01:10:21,517
Your wealth, fame,
and temporal power
1230
01:10:21,620 --> 01:10:23,896
will shrivel to irrelevance.
1231
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:26,965
It won't matter whether youwere beautiful or brilliant,
1232
01:10:27,068 --> 01:10:30,275
rich or poor,
famous or anonymous,
1233
01:10:30,379 --> 01:10:33,000
or thought to be those things.
1234
01:10:33,103 --> 01:10:35,758
What will matter
is not only got,
1235
01:10:35,862 --> 01:10:39,206
but what we gave,
not what we bought,
1236
01:10:39,309 --> 01:10:43,000
but what we built
for those you loved.
1237
01:10:43,103 --> 01:10:47,448
And if there is love,there is a reason to hope.
1238
01:10:47,550 --> 01:10:51,034
I think now, I'm
ready for winter.
1239
