Earthing and AIEAC, Resolving the Conumdrums
Both AIEAC AND Earthing can treat inflammation. They work by entirely different mechanisms, however. Earthing claims that inflammation is associated with positive charge. Yes, and no. It is the free radicals that cause the inflammation by stripping electrons from nearby tissues thereby causing degeneration which then triggers the immune system to react that then causes the inflammation. Earthing, by supplying electrons to the body, neutralizing the free radicals and thus prevents the resulting inflammatory reaction.The inflamed tissues are not themselves electro-positive. Although, by having their electrons stripped away, they do become positively charged which starts the degeneration. The positive charge would also drive water away by electro-osmosis. It is the immune reaction that causes the inflammation.
Now When I learned about Dr. Nordensttrom’s work and his discovery of electroosmosis, I thought up AIEAC (Anti-Inflammation Electro-Acupuncture) to treat inflammation with electricity. I thought that maybe inflammation may be in part due to an excess negative charge. Or at least, by pulling electrons from the area, I could reduce inflammation by electroosmosis. So, I tried it and it worked! I have been using it for over 10 years now and it works if you do it right. There are only two reasons why it won’t work and make the patient worse, not better. First and the most likely cause is it is not inflamed but torn or broken. Then, by removing more electrons you will make it worse, not better. Second is if you needle too deep, you can cause more damage, which will again make things worse. Now, if free radicals are involved, and you needle into the area where they are at, and you pull more electrons out of the area, you will again make it worse by causing more damage by breaking down the tissues even more. So, by looking at what is really going on in each case, we can understand how each works. Inflammation by itself doesn’t have a particular charge, but it can be influenced by charge. Too much AIEAC can do harm by drying out the tissues (which is how Dr. Nordenstrom actually killed inoperable lung tumors). It can start a degenerative process. It will drive ions of the metal into the tissues which will cause a “freckle” at the needle if done too long (and the ions of the metal may be toxic to the tissues. On the other hand, if you use a silver needle (or one silver-coated), silver is an antibiotic and can help with infection. In addition silver ions also can cause human fibroblast tissues to de differentiate to then be used in regeneration of tissues. So, even “bad” effects can be used for good if you know what you are doing. That is what makes scientific acupuncture different than regular acupuncture.
So how does AIEAC work? By sucking out electrons from the area, you make it less electro-negative and more electro-positive. That means that due to electro-osmosis, it will cause water to be less attracted to the area or actually drive water out. Even if it isn’t in the inflammation, it will still push water out of the area so if it is close enough to the inflammation, it will push water into areas where the lymphatics and acupuncture meridians can carry it away. Also, the positive charge can attract eexcess electrons from the area of inflammation, further reducing the accumulation of water into the area. So, in short, if you don’t needle too deep, you will get an anti-noninflammatory reaction, one way or another.
