Earthing

[out****spot]

I've been trying Earthing -- just wearing a wristband around my ankle while I sleep, and also using it during the day -- for the past week. I was inspired by this woman's experience: 

 

However, I've been feeling significantly worse: dizzier, foggier, more malaised, depressed etc. with lower tolerance for physical activvity. I've read that some kind of 'detox' is normal upon initiation of earthing, so was putting it down to that. However, I also read that earthing can lower electrolyte levels: 

 

"Seven (7)-hour and even 1-hour contact with earthing in a fasting state causes the lowering of serum concentrations of total calcium, ironized calcium, inorganic phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase activity. A 1-hour break of contact following overnight rest in contact causes total calcium and alkaline phosphatase concentrations to rise, with an accompanying decrease in the concentrations of ionized calcium and inorganic phosphorus. A decrease in inorganic phosphorus and ionized calcium after the interruption of contact with the Earth, with concomitant rising of sodium, magnesium, and chloride concentrations, could indicate an exchange of these ions with the intracellular environment. Earthing of a body during a sleep period has an effect on the reduction of renal excretion of calcium and phosphates.

Seven (7)-hour contact with the Earth of a subject at rest significantly decreases the serum sodium (p = 0.00), potassium (p = 0.00), and magnesium levels (p = 0.00). A 1-hour interruption of contact increases the sodium (p = 0.00), chloride (p = 0.06) and magnesium concentration (p = 0.00)."

Is it possible that this might just have something to do with better utilization of electrolytes .. or? I didn't think earthing could worsen POTS, since so many claim to find it useful for adrenal fatigue. I do know that I have some kind of chronic infection, so again, am wondering if how I feel can just be put down to immune-activation.
