I have been reading on all sort of issues and remedies that people

Why? It was safe enough in the past without a ground wire. If you
want more safety, install a gfci and be done with it; if you mark it
"no equipment ground" it might even meet code.

Heavens, I don't know how we all survived before 3-pronged plugs on
everything!
