Okay - so, I just read someone's post about body grounding with a special bed sheet. What the heck is that about? That cannot really help an auto-immune disease......really?
You can Google it. It is a product sold to cure all sorts of diseases. As I remember you spend a lot of money on this special bed sheet and sleep outside under the sky for it to work. I know when I was young sleeping under the stars was wonderful. I do not think it is a reliable "cure all" for people who are being driven crazy (and broke!) by a serious disease like PsA. But that is my opinion. I would rather spend money on my pool pass, my masseur and my Costco version of the Tempropedic mattress.
We've got the Bobopedic, the Bob's discount version of the Tempurpedic. I LOVE my mattress. We had tried one out when we were on a vacation once, and slept so well. I'm thinking of getting a pillow now too.
I believe in science. If painting myself green and running around naked under the stars could cure me, I would totally do it. Unfortunately, there isn’t an easy fix or a cure. I think it’s irresponsible for people to claim that there is! I can’t imagine even going camping at this point let alone sleeping on a sheet outside.
If the electricity can't get out, it can't get in....... However I HAVE heard that painting yourself prurple (not green) and running around naked under the stars while licking a frog can cure you. the paint has to be the right color, the frog the right breed and the stars in the right alignment.
In case you have never noticed when a "natural" (or quack)cure doesn't work IT IS NEVER THE CURES FAULT you invariably are the reason, You inadvertently consumed a tablespoon of gravy with a microgram of gluten.
My all time favorite is the somewhat half bubble from level folks who declare loudly and almost convincingly that the medications we take for PsA cause the problems (KickAS.org is famous for this) Not once have any of the folks been able to answer for me: "How many of us were taking PsA medications BEFORE we had PsA so as to cause it."
The vehment "natural" treaters and quack treaters need to get past the fact people get diseases. It is NOT someones fault, its not the patients fault or that they did something to cause it. Its not the medical communities fault because they try to treat it. It isn't the result of some conspiracy to convolute our food supply. Chit Happen. I guess I could have got leprosy (I worried about that for months after seeing Ben Hur as a kid)
But just in case I tied a piece of braided wire to my big toe and strung it out my shoe to act as a ground. (sorta like the grass skirts on a motor home) if I don't trip and kill my self I should be cured by Monday.
This caught me by surprise and I started to snicker while taking a big swig of soda. Ouch! I really needed the laugh, so thanks! (my nose will never be the same)
Thanks lamb!

Lamb you are very funny!
And the world is full of people who are trying to make money from someone else's misfortune! Who is at fault - them or the people who buy the stuff believing it will work?
LOL lamb :)

Thanks for all the laughs. I wonder sometimes, if people get on this site - pretend to have PsA just to say that antibiotic therapy works or some special bed sheet.....or whatever it is they want to sell. I know that sounds terrible, but not far fetched. I will stick to the advice of people I have come to admire and trust on this site. Thanks all.
what a great thread for a Sunday night! I'm typing from my tempurpedic. I have an electric blanket not a grounding sheet. For some reason after reading this I'm tempted to make a tinfoil hat.
OK, not that I thought it was a cure but I could not help myself from going to the site to look. Really? I know I am blonde and on the old side, but really? If I thought sheets and the way they were on my bed I would cure me I would so be in there doing it now. But instead, I am half watching the game and checking emails and talking to you guys, so does that tell you what I think about the grounding sheets? And I agree with Michael, sleeping under the stars when I was way younger was awesome, not so much at this age!
