Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Well, he says that it's not practical to be in contact with the earth for hours each day. So he's selling some pad thingie that does the same thing.
So it's a case of, "This natural thing has so many benefits, that we recommend you try our synthetic version"?
Little pink houses, for you and me.
You could sleep in a box of dirt! Like a vampire! Man, he could broaden his audience of crazy with that angle.
I think I'll wait patiently for the "Barefoot Pads Cause Cancer" headline.
Here - this explains it:
The Barefoot pad connects you to the earth for the seven to eight hours a day that you are in bed. The Barefoot pad is far better than taking antioxidant vitamins because you will be getting an infinite supply of antioxidants (free electrons) to combat free radicals and their associated inflammation and to help you stave off aging and disease or even heal from disease that is already present.
The patented Barefoot Earthing Bed Pad fits any size bed, occupying the lower 1/3 of the bed where your feet will naturally rest. The soft, comfortable fibers of the pad are specially created to conduct electron flow through your feet. An earthing wire connects the fibers of the pad to the earth outside your home, so that your body’s cells are literally bathed all night with trillions of electrons from mother earth.
The principles on which the Barefoot Pad works are so logical and understandable that you will be asking along with us why mankind has overlooked the healing powers of our being grounded to the earth.
If you're being bathed in trillions of electrons, doesn't that just mean that someone's running a current through you?
Go lick 9 volt battery instead!

What if you live in an apartment?
:: makes mental note to go outside barefoot in backyard as soon as it isn't, like, FREEZING::
What if you live in an apartment?
Then Mother Earth hates you and you are doomed.
