Welcome Peter. Great positive attitude you have. I think we all have it in us but some find it easier to find than others. But it’s in us all and with help we can achieve big things or even the little things can help our progress

Earthing helps with blood circulation, zeta-potential, clumping, viscosity and generally turning your blood consistency from ketchup into red wine. There are several aspects to it that I believe will help with Asherson’s syndrome.
That’s my hypothesis. and AI says The primary pathological feature of CAPS is widespread, rapid clotting. Earthing’s demonstrated ability to reduce blood viscosity and red blood cell clumping suggests a potential mechanism that could, in theory, influence the blood’s tendency to hypercoagulate.
I offer this as a topic of research - there are no studies supporting any of the above. I believe you have nothing to lose by trying. Good luck, Sir
