Does earthing have an affect on neuropathy? Any research at Mayo Clini

Posted by rodhuber @rodhuber, May 14 12:52pm

Just wondering if Earthing is being considered by the medical community?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

Hello,
Theories abound on everything under the sun and so do scams. I have not looked into this at all and I already have big doubts just from your question. i would dif very deep into medical research if there's any out there.
Best wishes.
Take care and have a serene afternoon,

Are you referring to grounding?

If so, I do not believe that does anything to stop or reverse nerve damage caused by diabetes, alcohol, vitamin deficiencies or toxicities, etc. It may help calm your nervous system which may help manage symptoms.

Agree, there are far more ineffective treatments & cures than legitimate neuropathy options. FWIW, both my ortho spine surgeon & neurologist agree foot/toe neuropathy from spine issues & 18-24 months post-surgery, it’s uncommon to regain nerve control/ impulse. The goal shifts to maintaining & regression avoidance. They both also expressed diabetic neuropathy is more receptive to treatment(s) to a certain point but I’m not diabetic & have zero experience in that regard.

Hello,
The very bottom line, diabetic neuropathy enjoys a bigger notice from the medical field so far and hence the treatment options while other neuropathies are yet to catch up. Other neuropathies have fewer concrete medical causes, fewer legitimate treatment options, and no cure whatsoever so far.

Yes, diabetic neuropathy seems to be at the forefront--perhaps because they know treatments for it. I am not in the category--I am in with the mysterious crowd. I did reference today's NY Post where on page 2 it was reported that an "inverse vaccine" has been developed to treat autoimmune diseases in a gentler and more efficient way. In the meantime, the doctors keep sending people for test after test or prescribe stuff that may or may not work.

I am reading more and more on earthing or grounding. There is a scientific basis to it.
https://www.webmd.com/balance/grounding-benefits
https://health.clevelandclinic.org/earthing
These articles provide some interesting insights and precautions. I have no personal experience with it or any of the products, so am not advocating one way or the other. When you suffer with chronic pain it is advantageous to have something in your back pocket for the sake of hope. Even if it turns out to have a Placebo effect, then it is helpful. (BTW, I’m reading a book called The Christian’s Guide to Holistic Health by David Sandstrom, ND which cites some studies on the Placebo effect which are quite interesting.)
Best of health to you 🙏🌸
