The Healing Power Of Grounded Touch

  I recently received an awesome question from a reader. It was: “If a very sick person is lacking in the earth’s electrons, can they unknowingly ‘steal’ those electrons from another person by touching them?”   The short answer to this is: yes.   When you were a kid, did you ever walk around in your socks, rubbing them on a carpet repeatedly so you could sneak up to your sibling and shock them? (Or was that just me, LOL?). If you’ve ever shocked someone when touching them, you know this on a large scale — with a large quantity …

Why Grounding Is My Favorite Healing Modality

I’ve been a physician for over 15 years and I’ve seen quite a lot of patients over those years. And during all that time, I’ve only come across one healing modality that supports the entire body — head to toe, every organ system — in such a powerful way.   Clear air is awesome and nurturing. Juicing is powerful and cleansing. Purified water is hydrating and supportive. But inevitably, with every holistic healing modality I worked with, there would be some patients who benefit greatly and some who get absolutely no results whatsoever. Some folks heal with a certain diet. …
