Radiation Health Effects
Posted by LiLeah on

Acute Radiation Syndrome from Large Exposures A very high level of radiation exposure delivered over a short period of time can cause symptoms such as nausea and vomiting within hours and can sometimes result in death over the following days or weeks. This is known as acute radiation syndrome, commonly known as “radiation sickness.” It takes a very high radiation exposure to cause acute radiation syndrome—more than 0.75 gray (75 rad) in a short time span (minutes to hours). This level of radiation would be like getting the radiation from 18,000 chest x-rays distributed over your entire body in this short period. Acute radiation...
Grounding: Can Walking Barefoot on the Earth Heal You?
Posted by LiLeah on

People typically perform grounding outdoors by lying or walking on the ground or submerging themselves in water. However, grounding mats, sheets, or other equipment can also be used. Grounding, also called earthing, is a technique that involves doing activities that “ground” or electrically reconnect you to the earth. These activities may include being in direct contact with the soil (earth) or using a grounding mat or device that creates a pathway between the body and the ground. This therapeutic practice uses earthing science and grounding physics to explain how electrical charges from the earth could have positive effects on your body. This type of...

A big debate is going on over what is better, grounding sheets or grounding mats. Both are fine, and what I can share about each method is only based on my personal experience. Grounding throws, plush pads and bands each provide an experience different from sheets and mats, but your body weight is used to improve optimal conductivity, and sleeping with a band attached to you is onerous. This narrows the debate down to mats versus bedsheets. Whether you're on #TeamDurability or you're cheering for #TeamComfort, grounding is the most beneficial lifestyle choice ever, and you should tell all of...

Posted by LiLeah on

The term ‘grounding’ has been used in recent years more as a mental health strategy to calm anxiety, stress and pain. This practice is different from a more traditional use of the term, otherwise known as ‘earthing’ that relates to the electromagnetic exchange between the Earth and other objects, including humans! We realize that telling you to practice earthing and be one with the Earth likely sounds a bit “woo woo” but hang with us – let’s go over the science. Every single thing on the planet is made of atoms, meaning everything has some sort of net charge (remember...
