Earthing reduces blood viscosity and helps diabetes - Oct 2024

How does earthing affect blood viscosity in people with diabetes (asked Perplexity AI Oct 2024

Based on the search results, earthing has several significant effects on blood viscosity in people with diabetes:
Imediate Blood Viscosity Effects
Earthing produces rapid improvements in blood viscosity through increased zeta potential of red blood cells, with effects visible within two hours  1
For diabetic patients specifically, this results in:

• Improved blood cell movement and reduced clumping
• Enhanced circulation to smaller blood vessels
• Better blood flow throughout the body 2

Clinical Benefits for Diabetics
Circulation Improvements:

• Resolves numbness in diabetic feet, with 25 out of 25 diabetic patients showing significant improvement
• Visible improvements in blood viscosity during blood draws, with reduced clotting in needles during collection 2

Blood Sugar Impact:

• Three days and two nights of continuous grounding showed decreased glucose levels in diabetic patients
• May require sustained grounding of at least three nights to achieve significant glucose reductions 2

Long-term Effects
Medication Changes:

• Some diabetic patients have experienced reduced insulin requirements
• One patient reduced daily insulin from 80 units to 10-20 units
• Another patient only requires insulin with dietary indiscretions 2

Important Considerations
Medical Monitoring:

• Diabetic patients on prescription medications should consult their doctors before starting earthing
• Blood sugar and medication dosages may need adjustment due to earthing's systemic effects 2

The improvements in blood viscosity appear to be related to earthing's ability to reduce inflammation and increase the negative charge on red blood cells, which is particularly beneficial for diabetics who often have poor red blood cell zeta potential 1 3

VitaminDWiki – Overview Diabetes and vitamin D contains

• Diabetes is 5X more frequent far from the equator
• Children getting 2,000 IU of vitamin D are 8X less likely to get Type 1 diabetes
• Obese people get less sun / Vitamin D - and also vitamin D gets lost in fat
• Sedentary people get less sun / Vitamin D
• Worldwide Diabetes increase has been concurrent with vitamin D decrease and air conditioning
• Elderly get 4X less vitamin D from the same amount of sun
      Elderly also spend less time outdoors and have more clothes on
• All items in category Diabetes and Vitamin D 553 items: both Type 1 and Type 2

Vitamin D appears to both prevent and treat diabetes

• Appears that >2,000 IU will Prevent
• Appears that >4,000 IU will Treat , but not cure
• 90% less T2 Diabetes in the group having lots of Vitamin D
• Appears that Magnesium helps both Prevention and Treatment
• Many diabetics would be better treated if Gut-Friendly Vitamin D were used
