Earthing Mat Review - BEWARE!

[@Jennifer83881]

I don't deny the science of earthing/grounding. I am in the process of purchasing a mat and was wanting to purchase directly from the company but this definitely gives me second thoughts. If they are charging so much and don't stand behind their products further than 90days. It's a lot to shell out for a family with kids just to have them "go out" so quickly. Perhaps I am better off with a cheaper product which does the same thing. Especially with kids and pets. Thank you for sharing the information. My heart goes out to you for the recent difficult life experiences and issues, I do truly hope things get better.

How do you block the frequency toward the victim

[@figleafyogi]

I've been using an earthing mat on my bed for two years and it made a noticeable difference. I recently rearranged my room and plugged my ground cable into a power bar. The power bar tested ok with the device they give you so I thought all was good. After a day or two I developed a weird mild facial ache on my right side. I deal with sleep apnea and thought it was related to that. For whatever reason, a voice inside my head last night said to plug the ground wire directly into the ground of the electric socket. Within minutes my facial pain went away and completely gone the next morning. Thank you for posting this video. Based on my experience, it is important to plug the cable directly into the socket and not use any power bars even if the ground reader gives the ok signal. Oh, I am not in any way discrediting what you are sharing or disputing that it is malfunctioning, just sharing my experience with this device. It is quite concerning for me to think I could have or may have seriously harmed my health with this thing.

[@chantaln6843]

Thanks for the feedback and warning

[@jaymartinez8231]

Ould you please clarify if you suggesting to not use the safety adapter that comes with the mats and rather plug directly into the wall outlet?

[@figleafyogi]

​@@jaymartinez8231 My outlet reader told me that the electric socket was safely grounded when plugged into a power bar but I started experiencing physical discomfort which went away when I plugged it directly into the outlet. Use the adapter but be alert to any unusual effects.

[@Katrn30]

@@figleafyogi I literally just had the same experience.

[@multitablez7825]

That was caused by AC current (EMFs) coming though your cord imo.. AC is harmful.. You should use a multimeter to test AC current. It should be zero... and the way you are doing it now, it most like made AC zero... Also, you can test DC, the healthy grounding current, which we want.

[@aidabeyene6834]

Thanks for the review. I got one recently and they now include a continuity tester.

[@calcotw2]

I was just about to purchase that mat. Thank you for this public service.

[@goldiedolde]

thank you! I was considering it! Especially at 150. to 200. dollars no customer support forget it!

[@averagejane09]

Customer support is a big deal. Companies need to get that. Nobody expects that defects will never happen, but the company needs to fix it when it does.

[@t.k.morgan4629]

Thank you for sharing! This is an old video glad I found it. I didn’t realize there is no indication that it works or not unless you test it.

[@claudialozano4411]

where you plug the black cord?

[@1nd1g0vanguard]

Glad I watched this before purchasing. Thank you. Their mats are far too expensive for most people, and instructions on making a DIY version at a fraction of the cost are plenty here on youtube.

[@gerrisonbonacua9195]

Thanks for the video. Helps us to be aware of this issue. Where is the black pin from the multimeter connected?

[@TheSteve8rox]

Cheap [ virtually free !! ] reuse as grounding mats. Stainless steel trays [ approx. 16" x 28 " ] I scrounged from a restaurant recycle bin. Slight discoloration / rust at one corner indicate cheap Chinese products with very thin stainless coating. 1/4 inch rim great for attaching copper ground wire. I wonder what they cost brand new ? For a floor mat, use a side panel from an old steel computer tower case / cabinet, often seen tossed out by folks, when I go Saturday morning garage sailing.

[@jcamillo66]

I just have to say... I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. Such a positive thing turned really negitive for you. That's a shame. The company you bought it from should be ashamed of themselves. I hope they read this too! I absolutely won't be buying from them nor will anyone close to me that's for sure. Your continuous healing is in my thoughts and prayers.

[@saturdaymorningreview8848]

Very odd that the other grounding mat stopped working. I do have to ask about the black grounding wire on the voltmeter. Is the black wire touching the other mat, or directing touching the grounding source? If the black wire of your voltmeter is only grounded to your first mat, you will not get a correct reading when you try your old mat. Just an observation. Can not really tell from the video where the black wire is grounded to.

[@JodBronson]

+Saturday Morning Review Yes, this guy sound and look STUPID !!! I would just rework the button to another area or TEST the Mat all over and find the Ground Spot and make myself a NEW button to button it in. But like I said, this guy is TOO STUPID to do that. He even sound STUPID at complaining, LMAO

[@katiecarternd4498]

that is a very rude comment, this guy is trying to help. Alot of people dont have experence with electronics. Try being nice and recommending this to him, that way others can learn too.

[@zildian1983]

Jordan Bronson if you are going to trash talk about someone being stupid, at least use proper grammar! Who's the stupid one now?!

[@mistermobile2615]

Thanks for the review. Gotta figure out the setting your used on your meter to test this.

[@pointblank1978]

The link between the hookup and the actual may is broken. Cut back the material and solder.

[@turbonbc]

I had the same mat for 3-4 years now and i do notice one side of the mat has lost its effects when iput my hand on the other side of the matt however it does remove much more. You probably damaged it with your chair or furniture overtime if its under your desk. Buy a new one, nothings built to last forever.

[@Bernietheoc]

Thank you for posting this video. I hope you are well.

[@theBOBster2013]

Have you ever cleaned the mat with a wipe that contained bleach? Common cleaning wipes from Lysol often contain some bleach

[@jandijunpyo5921]

I was going to buy this for my parents, but not now because I need a company to back up their product. I strongly dislike bad customer service!

[@chantaln6843]

I was considering purchasing one of these but now I will hold back. Thank you for the warning.

[@EvanSharboneau]

Very weird it "stopped working" - it is just material! How can it just "stop working"?

[@kimbo99]

Likely the connector.

[@lynndurbin9476]

Broken wire inside to outside connector?

[@droidcrasher]

The black wire...Connected to your multimeter.... Is connected to an OTHER independent ground, right!?

[@ellenmontgomery9520]

Thank you for sharing, I'm considering getting one but weighing options. It is quite a spendy purchase and I would feel alot better buying if there was a 5 year warranty with 100% MONEY BACK guarantee...

[@justdi3347]

Hi Lane, I just recently heard about these mats, and am doing my research. Did you happen to purchase another mat that was better quality and better customer service?

[@belltownfog]

Thank you for posting this. Those mats are of poor quality. The one I purchased was used under my desk. The back material dried and started crumbling with a fews week having only the my resting on top of it. My grounding sheet still works fine after using it for nearly as long as the company has existed. I wish there was a quality product that was made with quality material available that would suit the purpose that would last more than a few weeks. An awful Product. Again thanks for sharing.

[@gym_bob]

They spent over a million dollars on R & D and they are made much better now, then the one you purchased. I recommend buying a new one.

[@prodigalretrod]

Material can't spontaneously become non-conductive, so perhaps it never worked in the first place and that was somehow not noticed, or the press-stud is no longer making a good connection to the earth wire.

[@Skiddoo42]

The company reported that some of their products were getting corroded from use. They've since re-engineered them for an improved lifespan.

[@punjab2144]

I just received 3 items from them couple weeks ago the patches, sticky mat and half bedsheet the sticky mat so far is working, the patches arrived with expired date but they said they will mail me new ones in a week or so their continuity tester however is not working properly it’s showing green light pretty much everywhere on carpet, on vinyl and even with shoes on they said it could be my outlet it’s a new house I don’t think my outlet is extremely sensitive as she said so it’s hard to tell why it’s showing green light even when I am not grounded

[@Canuckcancanuck]

also my earthing mat stopped working because the cable isnt making proper connection to the mat and you have to physically clamp them together with you hand to make the connection solid.. horribly designed but they obviously want them to fail to make more money

[@jakecorbe7826]

Thank you for sharing! But recently just bought a couple for my self, now I'm wondering there is a continualy tester that you need to buy to know if the there product is working now the problem if something goes wrong there no waray and that's riff off. They need to support the customers so that they are all happy. If that the case we'll then, you know the result.

[@audreydeering2846]

Thanks for the video. I am contemplating my purchase.

[@astralhealer]

Wonder how could it fail? The earth connector? What about just moving it to another location? Put screws into it see if they form working termnals?

Copper pipes in the ground and rigged up to your place a sure way with the risk of lightening strikes. best option organite which i use and am going to start making.

[@Queef_Storm]

what's the risk? that you'll get electrocuted?

[@joephu]

This is a false concern. These cords have built in Ohm resistors so in the rare event (not likely) the grounding system is hit with a lighting surge, the resistor would fail and cut off the continuity.

[@jledford5644]

Thank you my first mat arrives this week.

[@overbet56]

Where did you buy that EMF tester with the testing cords hooked up?

[@Canuckcancanuck]

same thing happened to me.. bought a 300$ eathing sleeping bag from them and it stopped working. i figured out its a flaw in where the cable connects to the blanket and the whole blankets garbage now. also washing in regular tap water laundry machines degrades the silver threads and oxidizez them which made half of my blanket non conductive anymore.. suffice to say i bought conductive fabric from an American company and am making my own earthing products for a fraction of the cost :)

Huge bummer since I really wanted one of these. What made you decide to test it? Just not feeling optimal? I was looking at Hooga too but something tells me they might not be any better on service. Gonna have to do some research before I buy anything. I've been looking at sheets, mats and even a yoga mat too.

[@Skiddoo42]

Poor service sucks but it might still be the best product

[@momojojo1782]

I used the earthing Mat for couple days, I grounded it with the grounding rod outside my house. But I feel that my energy level is lower & lower than before grounding. Can anyone tell me why?

[@Felix_Effex]

can you test it? they can be + ionizers. I don't trust most of these "device$"..

[@momojojo1782]

without touching the mat it is AC 2.3V, when touching the mat is AC 0.005V.

[@EMFSafetyZone]

+MoMo JoJo Personally, I like grounding and am an EMF consultant. However, be aware that many building biologists and other EMF professionals do not agree with grounding, because of the possibility of stray currents coming through the ground. In addition, when the grounding wire is plugged into the wall, there is a possibility that "dirty electricity" or high frequency transients can pass through the ground into your body. Some people feel better using a grounding device, and some people do not. If you are going to ground, always best to put to use the rod, pushed into the ground outside your window, rather than plugged into the wall.

[@NazaninExplore]

You were addicted/used to the unhealthy exposure is my thought, which in the long run is bad for you

[@miroslavmarkovic4695]

where did you put black wire to test

[@joephu]

black wire goes to a common ground as the mat's cord. If the cord is plugged in one of the outlet's ground, the black probe could go in the other since they are shared

[@TotalEMFSolutions]

You are measuring the difference in potential. This is not found in any electrical literature. Example, the mat could have 120 volts on it and show zero. It has a fuse in the wire and your ground wire most likely has voltage on it.....everyone’s does.

[@Mariofajer]

Thanks Lane. Gracias

[@mahadragon]

Without showing us the Tester Plug results your little analysis here is useless. We have no idea if the plug you are using really is grounded or not. This could be user error, we really don't know. I have this exact mat and I have purchased 2 of them. It comes with a little tester plug that has little lights that indicate whether or not the plug you are using is in fact, properly grounded. If the plug you are using is not properly grounded, then the mat will not work.

This company has an excellent reputation. If you send it back or contact them, they would have sent you another. The danger is if a person has no way of testing it. They could think they are being grounded and not be. That would suck.

I'm absolutely not trying to be rude at all when I say this but, ,I Ithink you missed the part where he said they would in fact not do that. The company may have a good rep, however this guy obviously didn't have a very professional experience with part of the company. Good rep or not. All it takes is one careless customer service agent, possible having a bad day for all we know. Point is, not only did he have a less than professional experience over the phone, but the company hasn't responded to any of his emails. That is unacceptable.

[@Skiddoo42]

They sell conductivity testers now. It's not possible to do with a typical voltmeter due to the safety device in the plug. Worse yet though is if you plug it into an ungrounded outlet as I was doing... worst sleep ever.
