Grounding the human body influences physiologic processes.

Sokal et al, 2011 [multiple experiments, n=168, male and female] to answer the question: does the contact of the human organism with the Earth via a copper conductor affect physiologic processes? Subjects were divided into two groups. One group of people was earthed, while the second group remained without contact with the Earth. Blood and urine samples were examined. The grounding was conducted by a cooper plate (attached to the lower part of the leg during the night), connected to an insulated cooper conductor placed on a moistened earth outdoors placed. Authors observed that Earthing of an electrically insulated human organism during night rest causes lowering of serum concentrations of iron, ionized calcium, inorganic phosphorus, and reduction of renal excretion of calcium and phosphorus, also decreases free triiodothyronine and increases free thyroxine and thyroid-stimulating hormone. The continuous earthing decreases blood glucose in patients with diabetes, and decreases sodium, potassium, magnesium, iron, total protein, and albumin concentrations while the levels of transferrin, ferritin, and globulins α1, α2, β, and γ increase.
