The guy who is being labelled a "quack" by many here is at least a qualified cardiologist and has been studying these effects for decades. Other experts may well disagree with the claims or be very sceptical, but labelling things as 100% bs from a position of a layman is always questionable and something I personally try to avoid. It's worth remembering that historically many famous scientists have been labelled as "morons" in their own lifetime, simply because their theories were not widely accepted or proven at the time. Try Googling Ludwig Boltzmann for example.
I'm sorry, but what authority does a lone cardiologist carry here? He isn't a significant part of the medical community, he's just one guy. And his "research" is utter BS. You want to appeal to authority? Fine, here's an article by an MD debunking this crap:

Please spare us from the poor, lone genius bucking the norms of an entrenched profession BS trope. It's the tell-tale hallmark of a quack argument. For every time that has turned out to actually be the case, I can give you a zillion "broccoli cures cancer" quack doctors.
My question was irrelevant only because the point you made--that some animals may employ sensing earth's magnetic field to navigate--was also irrelevant to the point of whether "grounding" could have potential benefits. Obviously, you are now conceding that.
