Abstract
The present invention specifies the fundamental method and system for providing an electrical connection between the human and earth ground for purposes of promoting health, well being, and performance. It is based on the premise that vertebrate organisms require electrical connectivity to earth for health and well being, especially during times of trauma. It is asserted that vertebrate biopotential may be modulated by varying the resistance from the body to earth ground and that via this mechanism, bioenergy production and internal impedance may be modulated for purposes of healing, health maintenance, and “work” including exercise. Instructive methods for characterizing an individual's biopotential and for applying the present invention in urgent portable medical care situations are provided.
