Grounding Experiment: Claims About Pain and Sleep

Went to the hardware store, and I bought a roll of metal duct tape, and I just taped it across the bed. I threw a wire out the window, and it had a ground rod outside. I connected to the ground rod on one side and connected to the metal duct tape that I had laid on the bed.

So when I laid down on the duct tape, I was, like, grounded because it was connected to the Earth.

And I woke up the next morning and I thought, "Holy cow, there's something going on here," because normally for me to go to sleep, I had to take Advil. I went down to University of Arizona into one of their medical libraries, and there was nothing.

And in fact, I even tried to find the cause of chronic pain. They didn't know.

Nobody knew. So I ended up having to put together my own study.

I found a anesthesiologist in San Diego, and he says, "I'll entertain you." He says, "I will prove that you're wrong." And we grounded 60 people, and the reports that came in were unbelievable.

TMJ disappeared. PMS disappeared. Inflammation reduced, pain.

Everybody slept better. It's the first study that I did that was a legitimate study where we had quantifiable data.

When they saw the study, everybody said, "Well, this is really pretty interesting." And we ended up attracting scientists and physicists.

Like any important discovery, nobody was interested.

They thought he was crazy. Now, there are a lot of scientists who are interested.

I'm very interested in biological questions.
