Here's a list of studies hosted on pubmed demonstrating potential benefits of regular earthing
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=earthing
There appears to be particular dramatic benefits regarding inflammation which is why I have gone to some trouble to recommend it to equationgirl on the other thread. I hope she might give it a try, my sincere belief is that it would help her.

It is customary to check citations for relevancy before getting excited about how many studies there are. Also, from a scan of the authors' names, it looks like there are maybe 2-4 research groups doing this work who have published a handful of papers over the last decade, with very small numbers of study subjects. I remain unconvinced as to the statistical significance of this work.

I find this part of your response very patronising. I do not believe you are being sincere at all. With regards to a single study you seem find of quoting at the moment, the inflammation process is usually associated with pain but pain is not always due to inflammation, therefore the study is likely to be flawed because of the hypothesis underlying it.
Also, you cannot seriously state this
Good! I'd suggest not trusting anyone wherever you can help it where your health is concerned.
straight after the above and maintain you are being sincere, not unless you take me to be a credulous fool.
Perhaps you would care to explain to me that if I am becoming grounded tens of times throughout the day how my pain levels have remained unchanged? Am I applying the wrong type of grounding, perhaps?
