The Earth has special electrons. Yeah right.
What I would believe is that, in a dry climate, one regularly picks up some static charge that dissipates through tiny discharges (shocks) when touching something sufficiently large at a different potential, e.g. anything grounded. Grounding oneself will change that to a more continuous very very tiny current and one moves around and accumulates charges. Maybe this has an effect?
- cush 4y ago> The Earth has special electrons Nowhere in the article is this stated. Walking barefoot on soil would ground the body, as opposed to being in shoes. That's it. It's not woo woo. Either your body is grounded or it isn't. Any electrician knows this. The article is stating that your body regularly may be carrying some charge (again talk to anyone who works on computers), and (according to their studies) yes it has an effect on your health.
