Do you ever shower or bathe? Do you touch the faucet handle when doing so? Congrats - you just grounded yourself. Reset right back to neutral. If you want to t

  No argument from me; but I think the debate around this research is focused on what the biological effects are when one undergoes a prolonged period of grounding; i.e. for 8 hours during sleep, or several hours during the day, rather than for momentary periods.

    But the whole point is grounding is relative, and this context just refers to a body with larger volume than you that can absorb your charge (if there is a difference) with relatively little change. It is assumed that body has a balance of negative and positive charges, but not necessarily, because the purpose of "grounding" in any practical sense is to equalise the charge between two objects so there is no potential difference so the will be no current flow. All sorts of BS arguments then start emerging, "but what about if the outside of your body is +ve and inside is -ve ?", Well where does the energy for that come from? Or do you have a little charge daemon in there splitting out charges and pushing them to the exterior? I've heard them all and they are all BS from people that understand little to nothing about charge and electricity. Would love to be proven wrong by someone that did, because that would mean I would learn something, maybe something very interesting, but still waiting.
