Super Gut by Dr. William Davis, Infinite Health
With cutting-edge research, Dr. Davis has connected the dots between gut health and modern ailments and complaints. There are entire species of microbes that have disappeared, creating health issues that were uncommon one hundred, or even fifty, years ago. A major consequence is SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), a silent and profound epidemic, which affects one out of three people and is responsible for an astounding range of human health conditions.

In today's society, it's hard to find the time to walk barefoot on the ground for several hours each day. Not being in contact with the Earth leads to all kinds of different health issues, most of which even modern medicine can't solve. 

If you happen to find yourself in such a situation, then don't worry - Grounding™ Official came up with a solution. Thousands of people worldwide are enjoying the healing benefits of earthing while they sleep, using their Original Earthing Bed Sheet.

The latest breaking news from the FCC is that they are investigating Apple and Samsung for violating Radio Frequency (RF) radiation limits emitted by their cell phones. This is in response to an internal study by the Chicago Tribune that showed RF emissions as much as 5 times the limits set by the US government -- limits that have already been criticized for being outdated (established in the 90s) and overly lenient.
