What is the name for what?

Oh, never mind, I know what you mean. Human static electricity. You can use a multimeter to find how much you generate, and how strong your 'zap' is. Here, check this out: http://www.google.ca/#hl=en&source=h...w=1024&bih=567

One study says that living in the city can give you mental illness. Another study says that being around trees makes you feel better.

Sounds like they're just figuring out what we homesteaders have known all along!

There have been some other comparison studies done on cities that have lots of trees in them, along boulevards, in people's yards, in city parks, etc. - people in those communities tend to be more laid back and happier.

Places where there is too much concrete are a real killer. Concrete will do the same thing to the human body that it does to a car battery - if you put the car battery down directly on concrete and leave it there the concrete will drain the battery. That's one of the reasons why it's recommended to have batteries placed up off the floor or sitting on pieces of wood to help insulate it from the concrete. For the same reason, it's not good to walk on concrete with bare feet a lot otherwise it will drain your own energy levels, it's better to have some kind of insulation between your feet and the concrete.

I have to wonder which science nut is eventually going to figure out the definition of the word crock.

Most assuredly it will be a drunken troglodyte, a person characterized by reclusive habits and outmoded or reactionary attitudes.

I've always loved the word troglodyte!!!! thx nl!

YH, you would appreciate the link NL just gave me

That sounds good, but it's not true at all, since the battery is fully insulated.

If you leave a battery anywhere, it will eventually lose it's charge, and since most garages have concrete floors, and that happens to be where people store batteries, they falsely assume the concrete is why the battery is dead

I've always known about the energy field surrounding all living things, could feel it as a child, so never questioned it existed. There isn't anything nonsensical about existence of electrical energy fields. I can also attest to the difference between living in the City, concrete jungle included, to living out rural on acreage, touching plants and trees every day. The difference in my health is marked, the way I feel also marked, and the quality of my sleep has greatly improved. Fresh air, good well water, growing most of our own food, fishing, hunting, crabbing, clamming, shrimping, etc...

Interesting thing about an apple tree of mine. I got it before my divorce, grew it in a big pot, moved it from one property to the next, then when I got married, it was planted on his property. We moved and dug up this tree. For some reason, I talked to this one, told it I hoped it would bear a lot of apples. When it began bearing, my Liberty Apple tree produced crisp apples that made light pink applesauce. When I discovered this, I took more time to touch and make occasional comments to the tree, not thinking much about it. Since it is the tree closest to my big orchard gate, it gets brushed by DH and I every time we enter the orchard. This year, that little Dwarf Liberty Apple has more apples on it than any other tree in the orchard, and that includes the Semi-Dwarf Liberty Apple my DH had when we married! They aren't even that far from each other.

I tend to talk to all the plants and trees, some more than others. No, none have answered me back, so I guess I am relatively sane.

I had always been told this about car batteries, so I had to check that out after reading your post. It would appear we are both correct but it depends on the age and type of battery. http://community.discovery.com/eve/f...8/m/7001983659

However, that doesn't negate that concrete, although not a conductor of electricity, is a heat sink and anti-humectant that will drain vital heat, moisture and electrical energy out of living organisms that are in direct contact with it. You can experiment with that yourself by standing or sitting with bare feet or legs on a concrete curb or picnic bench for 10 -15 minutes and you'll feel the depletion in your vital energy levels plus stiffness in muscles, joints and the spine right up to the neck and shoulders.

Another comparison - animals confined to concrete floored confinements as opposed to earthen, rubber or wooden floored confinements, even with insulating bedding, display more symptoms of depression, psychosis and other poor behaviours along with signs of physical detriment. That includes zoo animals, livestock animals, dogs in kennels, etc.

This is very interesting , trees don't do anything for me. But Pretty Women will recharge my battery. LOL

Tree hugging, that much maligned hippy generation idea, has now been shown to have scientific validity after all. Contrary to popular belief, touching a tree does make you healthier. In fact you don't even have to touch the tree to get better, just being within its vicinity has the same effect.

In a recently published book, Blinded by Science, (www.blindedbyscience.co.uk) the author Matthew Silverstone, proves scientifically that trees improve many health issues such as; mental illnesses, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), concentration levels, reaction times, depression and the ability to alleviate headaches.

Countless studies have shown that children show significant psychological and physiological effects in terms of their health and well being when they interact with plants. They demonstrate that children function better cognitively and emotionally in green environments and have more creative play in green areas.

A large public health report that investigated the association between green spaces and mental health concluded that "access to nature can significantly contribute to our mental capital and wellbeing".

So what is it about nature that can have these significant effects? Up until now it has been thought to be the open green spaces that cause this effect. However, Matthew Silverstone, shows that it is nothing to do with this by proving scientifically that it is the vibrational properties of trees and plants that give us the health benefits and not the open green spaces.

The answer to how plants and trees affect us physiologically turns out to be very simple. It is all to do with the fact that everything vibrates, and different vibrations affect biological behaviours. It has been proven that if you drink a glass of water that has been treated with a 10Hz vibration your blood coagulation rates will change immediately on ingesting the treated water. It is the same with trees, when touching a tree its different vibrational pattern will affect various biological behaviours within your body.

This vibrational idea is backed up throughout the book by hundreds of scientific studies to provide overwhelming proof that tree hugging after all is not such a crazy idea. Not only is it good for our health but it can also save the Government a lot of money by offering an alternative form of treatment that is free.

One report concluded with the following: "safe, green spaces may be as effective as prescription drugs in treating some forms of mental illnesses".

Wouldn't it be nice to hear from now on that doctors treat some forms of illnesses by suggesting a walk in the park rather than taking a packet full of pills.

Looks interesting, but Amazon says it's out of print.
Oh NM you can get it on the website I guess.
