A Story of Minimizing Autoimmune Disease, Chronic Pain and Inflammation with Grounding

From MM:

Below is a personal account of someone who was terribly afflicted with multiple chronic inflammation related diseases and how all these afflictions improved by utilizing Grounding.

As regular readers may recall, I’m a giant advocate of Grounding, also called Earthing, and have benefited from it dramatically as has my wife and many in my immediate circle.

I urge you to read this entire article and then go to the references linked to learn more about why & how this amazingly simple phenomenon works.

I Shouldn’t Have To Deal With This by Joshua Fields Millburn

An Introduction to Pain

Millions of people suffer from chronic pain; I never thought I’d be one of them.

At age 37, after numerous doctors’ visits, I was diagnosed with three autoimmune conditions: rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which explained the severe pain in my ankles, wrists, and other joints; irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), hence my rollercoaster of indigestion, constipation, and diarrhea; and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which accounted for the dozens of excruciating ulcers that doctors found in my intestinal tract.

I began experiencing poor sleep and various skin issues—acne, rashes, cysts, dandruff, flaky skin—around the same time.

Doctors told me that my body’s immune system was attacking its own tissue, but they didn’t know why.

Maybe it was a shift in my microbiome, they said, or maybe it was stress or overuse of antibiotics.

Regardless of the origin, my first thought was, “I shouldn’t have to deal with this!”

It felt like my life was over.

Although I was relatively young, I woke every morning with pain so extreme that I didn’t want to live.

Motivated to find a cure, I tried supplements, medications, yoga, stretching, acupuncture, trigger-point release, saunas, ice baths, and restrictive diets.

Some of these treatments helped manage my symptoms (especially the last two, both of which reduced my inflammation), yet the pain and dysfunction continued daily.

Over the next two years, as I scoured online forums, health podcasts, and YouTube videos, I discovered legions of people suffering from similar autoimmune-related ailments.

Some recommended new drugs, others touted cures involving dubious homeopathic remedies.

I saw unfathomable hardships, but no long-term healing.

Eventually, I stumbled upon The Earthing Movie, where I learned about something called “Earthing”—or “grounding” as it is often called—which had reportedly helped thousands of people afflicted with chronic disorders, including:

  • Allergies
  • Alzheimer’s
  • ALS
  • Anemia
  • Arthritis
  • Asthma
  • Autism
  • Cancer
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Colitis
  • Crohn’s
  • Diabetes
  • Diverticulitis
  • Eczema
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Irritable bowel syndrome
  • Kidney failure
  • Lupus
  • Lyme disease
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Pancreatitis
  • Psoriasis

Many of these sufferers proclaimed significant improvements after Earthing.

Their testimonials were brimming with hope:
