The whole basis for PEMF relies upon the idea that the Earth's magnetic field has an effect on us. That's pretty well accepted by much of the medical community we deal with. I would draw a distinction between the Earth's magnetic field and grounding. Simply because one is attached to an earth ground doesn't make one more or less susceptible to the magnetic field. Furthermore, finding an acceptable ground is much easier than you'd think. That's why I dispute the science quoted for earthing and really think they're picking up on some other effect. I should also add that the only reason I'm arguing for this is that I'd hate to see someone spend a bunch of money on conductive bedding if the effect they're picking up on could be produced by something far easier and more available.
