Every single day I get emails asking if the natural energy of grounding is changed by the presence of artificial manmade EMFs. The short answer is yes.
There is so much confusion around grounding in a manmade electrical fields, if it matters or not, and why. If you are confused, that’s what grounding companies are relying on. This confusion is in part intentional by corporations who bulk manufacture cheap grounding tools because they don’t want you to figure out that electrosensitivity is a real issue, so instead they pretend that when you are grounded you are somehow magically immune from the effects of manmade electrical fields — that way they can continue to sell products that don’t address this issue.
I find it sad that thousands millions of grounding customers that feel ill effects from the AC voltage that runs through a standard ground cord are being told that they are either imagining the symptoms or calling it a “grounding detox” and told that eventually they will get used to it. I don’t want anyone to get used to the dizziness, pain, fatigue, headache and irritability that an AC current running through a ground cord is causing on their physical tissues.
The human body is a beautiful, electrically sensitive system, and we can pick up on (and have symptoms from) an AC current that is introduced to the human body — this is often called “dirty electricity” and it’s real. You are not imagining it and it will not go away, unless you stop the current from running into your body and/or eliminate the artificial manmade electrical fields you are in while grounding.
Because it’s virtually impossible to totally eliminate manmade EMFs, I created a video for you today to help you understand what the issue is with grounding in artificial EMFs, and some practical solutions. I’ll clear the confusion up for you right now, so that you understand what people mean by “dirty electricity” and how a “grounding detox” is not a real thing, it’s a cover up invented by grounding companies to convince you to ignore your electrosensitivity symptoms.
Once you watch this video you will be able to explain this clearly to anyone who asks about grounding in manmade electrical fields and what the solutions are:
How Grounding Is Changed By Artificial Electrical Fields:
Because your body is so conductive, it is affected by all types of electrical fields — both the earth’s natural DC electrical field, as well as artificial manmade electrical fields. The earth’s natural electrical global field is gentle and healing — composed of the Schumann Resonance and the Carnegie Curve. I published this article in the Biomedical Journal in 2023 to explain the earth’s global electrical circuit for you, and I also created this video for you here if you prefer listening to me explain it to you instead of (or in addition to) reading a medical journal:
The Real Reason Grounding Works (YouTube video)
You are in the earth’s electrical field whether you are grounded or not. When you are ungrounded (for example, with shoes on) you have this electrical field around you measurable in volts as a potential. When you then you touch the earth, that grounding contact allows the volts (the potential of earth’s electric fields) to run through your body, discharging into the earth and allowing electrons to run freely up into your body — ahhhhhh.
If you are in a manmade electrical field and also outside (say you are near a power line, standing over underground cables, etc…) this artificial electrical field is 1,000,000 or more times stronger than the gentle natural earth’s electrical field — so grounding now means these both the earth’s electrical field as well as the artificial manmade electrical fields surrounding you are now running through your body — with the artificial fields being a much greater amplitude than the earth’s fields. Because the artificial electrical fields are so much stronger than the natural electrical fields your body naturally evolved in, not only does grounding not feel as good any more, but many folks can actually feel negative symptoms. Feeling symptoms when grounding in a manmade electrical field is what is known as being electrosensitive. Symptoms like:
- stinging or tingling
- headache
- decreased concentration
- vertigo/dizziness
- disorientation
- tinnitus/ringing in the ears
- skin sensitivity or reactions
- restlesness
- insomnia
- mood changes, including anxiety or depression
- fatigue
- heart palpitations
- muscle pain/tension
Indoors when you are grounding, it’s the exact same thing. If you are grounded and there are no artificial electrical fields, then you experience grounding as the relief it truly is, as your static energy discharges and electrons run up your ground cord, boosting the health of your body.
If you are grounding and you are also in a manmade artificial electrical field, you are now taking the voltage from these both of these exposures and turning them into a current running into your body. Not only is a manmade current of AC electricity running up your grounding cord, but this current is also forcing electrons off of your body in an amplitude that is a million times more overbearing than the earth’s natural electrical field is. Because artificial electrical fields are so much stronger than the earth’s gentle, natural electrical field, it’s very common to feel worse when grounding, including all the symptoms I listed above.
So this is what to do:
- Outside and indoors, try to ground in the absence of electrical fields. If you can’t fully eliminate electrical field where you are grounding, then it definitely helps to decrease their strength as much as possible, and it’s not as difficult as you might think. A good rule of thumb is simply to be more than 3 feet away from sources of electrical fields like appliances and outlets and electrical cords. It may be as simple as pulling your sofa away from the wall when you are grounding after work each evening, or putting your bedside lamp on a kill switch so it stops emitting an electrical field when you are ready to go to sleep grounded. If you want to be sure there are no strong electrical fields where you are grounding, I have an electric field meter in my grounding boutique so you can measure them for yourself and be sure you’ve moved a safe enough distance away from your appliances to get grounded.
- Second, consider switching your standard ground cord to a PureGround cord. The PureGround cord is shielded the entire way up the line, so that any electrical fields the ground cord passes through can not jump onto the line… and it also has a filter embedded in the cord that won’t allow an AC current from an outlet to ever enter the cord. The PureGround cord ensures you have a grounding experience as it was always designed naturally to be, before any manmade artificial electrical fields polluted our living spaces.

I created this visual for my electrosensitivity class, to demonstrate how natural and artificial EMFs oppose each other, and I’m giving you access to it right here, right now!

The natural opposite of man-made EMFs are the natural earth made EMFs… and the way to give your body direct access to this is through grounding. Grounding helps rebalance your Conductive Health. It gives you results you can feel… grounding helps to:
- boost mood
- decrease anxiety
- deepen sleep
- decrease pain
- decrease inflammation
- decrease blood pressure
- boost cardiac function
- decrease muscle tension
- improve digestion
- improve immune function
- and on and on… pretty much the exact opposite effect that manmade EMFs have on our body
I hope this article today, with the video I created for you, the print out I shared with you, and some of the solutions I suggested today, has really helped clear up the huge debate on grounding in the presence of artificial EMFs.
