You need to start grounding TODAY. by grounding, I mean, electrically connect yourself to the earth. The biggest cause of the various physical and psychological disease epidemics of the last 100 years is radio waves suppressing the earth's natural resonance frequencies. You don't absorb them simply by being earthed. It makes a dramatic change, even after just one night sleeping on the ground, and I never realised this was why I was feeling so robust and strong as I was wandering, lost, across southern and eastern europe - for most of the last 3 years, I have been sleeping on the ground, and then I get off the street, and into a house, and everything started going wrong again. If you do nothing else, you must earth!
