Earthing™ Technology – The Global Electrical Circuit

The earth's negative electrical surface charge is the accumulated effect of thousands of thunderstorms. The average thundercloud generates a current of about one amp during its active period. With an estimated 1000 to 2000 thunderstorms continually active around the globe emitting close to 5000 lightning strikes every minute, there is an electric current of 1000 to 2000 amps continually being transferred to the surface of the earth. Since the earth's surface is highly conductive, this charge is evenly and rapidly dispersed across the land surface.

Even the atmosphere conducts electricity (to a lesser degree) because of ions in the air.  Thus, electrons continually flow from the earth’s surface into the atmosphere where an equal and opposite (positive) charge is maintained in the ionosphere. The whole circuit is referred to as the global electrical circuit. (see graphic) It is estimated that this current would disappear in less than an hour if all thunderstorm activity ceased. The global electrical circuit is responsible for the weather.  It also maintains an unlimited supply of electrons everywhere on the surface of the earth.

Earthing Benefits

With Barefoot Connections™ products , maintaining direct contact with the earth is still just as easy as when you were a child.

…pain in her back seems to have disappeared.

I had problems with inflammation of my knees, and did not sleep well at night. After using your Barefoot Bed Pad I found that I was sleeping much better and the inflammation in my knees had gone down. My wife mentioned that after 5 days of sleeping on the pad she was sleeping noticeably better. She had problems with pain in her back that seem to have disappeared. I have no words to describe how happy we are. Thank you so much.
