Do I need to talk to my doctor about earthing if I am taking glucose medications?

Earthing can help regulate blood sugar in the body. So if you are taking glucose medications for diabetes then you need to monitor your dosage with your doctor. Dr David Richards, a GP in NSW, has had good experiences with earthing and diabetes patients. He says ‘I find that medication needs generally are reduced after Earthing. One patient now only takes insulin if she is lax with her diet. Another has reduced daily insulin from 80 units down to 10 or 20 units. I actually warn patients to be alert for improvement and be prepared to reduce doses.’ We recommend that you consult with your doctor before you start earthing so that your doctor can reduce your medication dosage if needed.
