Earth electrical currents

[SlavaOn]

For one or another reason, last night I was thinking about electrical Earth currents. If they would become strong enough to kill, that would be something that one has to protect from... Synchronistically, Sott.net published this article today: https://www.sott.net/article/345096-Nuclear-EMP-Solar-EMP-or-something-else

Without any need of Sun flares hitting Earth directly or a comet's discharges, a reduced solar activity will, by itself, start increasing the underground currents!

Are we not already protected enough from dangerous underground currents: by rubber wheels in our cars, boots' soles, etc?
What additional protection could one seek?

Electric currents usually occur between two points holding different enough electric potential. I think the discharge you're mentioning could happen if you had very long legs (like one foot in the Pacific ocean and the other in the Atlantic ocean), otherwise the potential difference between the various parts of your body is too minute to be noticed albeit to kill you.

So you're saying, walking barefoot for "grounding" benefits (https://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,25153.msg294055.html#msg294055) is still safe--unless we have very long legs, right? ;)

In the vicinity of a lightning strike, the potential difference between two points is going to be significant enough to kill you, even if the strike itself doesn't. I'm sure piezoelectric effects from ground rocks breaking may be similar in effect. How do you protect yourself from a lightning strike? The earthing on your dwelling might be a good place to start.

Yes. However grounding is not always beneficial, that's at least what is suggested in the following session excerpt:

Q: (L) I guess we have some questions. Let me get some of the smaller questions out of the way. First of all, we all kind of installed these grounding sheets under our mattresses, and some of us started having new and different problems than without the grounding sheet. Is that due to the grounding sheets?

A: As you know, that was a response to Ark for a specific problem. Grounding in nature takes place differently and on a different schedule. In your case, you live much of the time on the second floor. If you spend time outdoors more, grounding occurs naturally. If you then add artificial methods, you can overdo and reverse the effect. Take it easy.

This paper
http://www.sandiegocounty.gov/dplu/ceqa/Soitec-Documents/Record-Documents/Undated-Duane-A-Dahlberg-Report-re-Ground-Currents-An-Important-Factor-in-Electromagnetic-Exposure.pdf was written about cows exposure to ground electrical currents on dairy farms. I am not sure if the cows are more sensitive to electricity then humans, or the length of their legs is a factor... :) But they do get chronically sick...

Here is the conclusion part of the paper:

The health of the environment is a determining factor in the health of all life in that environment. Under some circumstances human ingenuity in treatment of illnesses can delay and reasonably mitigate the effects of an unhealthy environment. Under other conditions or over time, however, the effects of an unhealthy environment may slowly or rapidly wear on the health of life in that environment. A population of well over 5 billion people in a world with no new frontiers is extremely vulnerable to unhealthy changes in the environment. This world condition is a compelling reason for seriously monitoring the changes in the environment and constantly assessing the effects of those changes. An important change, which has escalated since its inception over a century ago, is the addition of EM energy to the environment. An especially important aspect of this change is the extensive use of the earth to carry electric current. After nearly a century of the use of the earth to carry current, little is known about the paths of these currents or the effects of these currents on either the animate or inanimate world. In fact, archaic models still dominate the regulatory agencies’ concept of how EM energies interact with life. Even in decisions regarding research directions, these outmoded models are still applied. Stray voltage research and the ground current connection have provided valuable insights for connecting exposure to EM energies associated, primarily, with electric currents in the earth to human and animal health and behavior. There is a clear need to test new models that are consistent with the electrical nature of living organisms and the complexity of our environment.
